146. Alex Elle, Author & Self-Care Facilitator

Season five, H-E-L-L-O! To say that Alex Elle has made me re-think a lot about the way I talk to and treat myself would be an understatement. Elle regularly inspires her more than 1 million Instagram followers with her compassionate words encouraging grace and self-care. In episode 146, she talks to me about how she got here, reflecting on her career journey thus far and a difficult upbringing. The Hey, Girl podcast host opens up about her traumatic teenage years and details how writing and therapy saved her life. She also talks to me about what it was like to meet her husband on Twitter (seriously) and talks about the fertility struggles they had before having their "rainbow babies." Also: Helpful advice on how to stay true to your boundaries without shame and how to start (and keep) a regular journaling practice + much, much more.
