Model and actress Alexis Ren shares her powerful journey of reclaiming her multi-dimensional identity after rising to fame at a young age. Alexis openly discusses the challenges of navigating the opinions of others and societal expectations, and how she ultimately found the courage to shed her outdated identity and embrace the full complexity of who she is.

Through her own personal growth work, Alexis discovered the transformative power of acting as a spiritual practice, allowing her to connect more deeply with her emotions and access hidden parts of herself. She also speaks candidly about facing limiting beliefs, and the crucial process of rebuilding her self-worth and authentic beauty in our superficial world.

She also shares her journey towards a holistic, healthy state of being - and her insights on using one's "triggers" as opportunities for growth and transformation. She also shares valuable wisdom on the importance of building supportive friendships and community, and her decision to start a podcast as a means of empowering others on their own journeys of self-discovery.
