MY STORY HAS SOME LAYERS. YOU READY TO PEEL THAT SH*T?
I understand that feeling of wanting to know what your mentor has been through to help you connect with them. So here's all of me.
HI, I'M ALEXIS
I'm not sure how long you've known me or followed me on Instagram, but there is so much to my story that has made me a badass coach and someone that understands what you've been through. I can see through the B.S stories you tell yourself, why you're struggling, and can GET you on another level. It's not magic, I just have the superpower of being able to ask the RIGHT questions.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
I grew up in Delaware. They say "Delaware bred, Delaware fed, Delaware dead." So I thought I was going to marry my high school sweetheart, become a high school teacher, have 5 kids, and live with the white picket fence. BOY was I wrong š.
If my music festival, tattoo covered, well traveled, 6 figure boss ass b*tch (two comma club chaser), psychedelic self could meet my 18 year old self, she wouldn't even recognize her.
GOOD.
ABUSED, HOMELESS, AND LOST
With 4 months left in my senior year of college becoming a high school history teacher, I had a quarter life crisis. I realized I didn't like kids as much as I thought š¬. I decided I didn't want to become a teacher.
I did graduate with my B.A, but 12 days after graduating I moved from the East Coast to the West Coast with a guy I had been dating and I would soon find out that it would be the abusive relationship I never thought I would find myself in.
We bought a car from Craigslist, drove down the Gold Coast from Washington to Los Angeles, and the house that we were supposed to move into didn't exist. So I ended up homeless sleeping out of my car in random Target parking lots and showering on the Santa Monica beach in my bathing suit.
I developed 2 eating disorders, struggled with depression and self harm, and had a hard time getting out of the abusive relationship that had consumed my entire life.
HOW MY JOURNEY STARTED
In February of 2013, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and it was the catalyst for me to start to take my health seriously. I had never had health issues before, so this was a wake up call. It not only motivated me to make major changes, but it also inspired me to go cold turkey on my bulimia and binge eating and get out of my abusive and controlling relationship.
I started using Instagram as a diary. I was sharing the new foods I was trying, the struggles I was going through, and simply using daily posts as a way to keep myself accountable.
(if you follow me on instagram now, you might be surprised to know that back in about 2013-2014 I REFUSED to post pictures of myself. Nothing but neck down selfies because I was so self conscious. Just proof of how much you can grow)
After becoming obsessed with healing my body from the inside out, I got my holistic health coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2014 and it changed everything. I knew I wanted to help people learn how good their bodies were designed to feel. So I started helping people with nutrition and fitness. I even got into network marketing for 8+ years helping people with everything health related.
After about 4-5 years I realized I was REALLY good at helping people get unstuck and really clear on not only WHAT was holding them back, but WHY.
I kept getting the SAME questions in my DMs.
Helping people with the SAME problems.
And I was like "ok I need to turn this into something "
I had a few 1:1 clients, but I was ready to take it to the next level.
MY NEXT LEVEL
Some of the things I overcame were:
- Procrastination
- All or nothing thinking
- Caring about what people think
- Scarcity mindset/money blocks
- Victim mentality and pity parties
- Negative self talk and NO self love
All of these together were a launching pad for me to start to help others. I went from wanting to help people see how good their bodies were designed to feel, to helping them understand how good their MINDS were designed to feel.
Through so many of my own experiences, I realized that if you get your mind right....everything else becomes a lot easier. I'm all about doing the hard sh*t, to make life easier in the long run.
I want to overcome it allSOMETHING DIFFERENT
I started asking WHY.
I asked WHY 1000 times over to get to the REAL root of WHY I was struggling. Then I did the same with my clients.
And it changed the way I coached.
I was WAY more excited to guide people through their SH*T, then focus on what they were eating and how many pushups they were doing. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE health and wellness and still help 1:1 clients with it, but I found my PASSION in digging deep.
And that's really all she wrote. I took this coaching model and ran with it. Now I not only help women radically change the way they see themselves and their fears, but also get them to find their fearless self. Because when you kick fear to the side, you can accomplish all those dreams you think feel too far away. And after growing my business with ZERO business background, I now find so much passion in helping women with their business goals and dreams, because I believe that you CAN have everything you want.
WHERE I AM TODAY
I am beyond grateful and elated that this is what my life looks like.Ā
I'm currently living in ColoradoĀ and loving every minute of it. I am recently divorced and I'm proud to have made a decision that is the best for me and my life. I am the happiest I've ever been.
I haveĀ a successful 6 figure businessĀ that is growing exponentially, and I attractĀ and get to work with the VIBIEST clients ever. š This business allows me to travel when I want, buy unlimited avocado toast and organic groceries, thrift the dopest clothes, go to shows and fesitvals, tip 30% or more, say yes to everything, and get to hang out with my dogs all day. How would I NOT show up for this thing?!Ā
I also recently got an additional coaching certification through one of my mentors Josh Coats in his Push Coach School and it has upleveled my coaching to a NEW level.Ā
Your dreams are more than worth it and I want to teach you WHY you're not getting there, what is holding you back, and how to go from where you are to where you wanna be. If I can go from homeless to thriving, you can get past your limiting beliefs, find your purpose, and make a LOT of money in the process.
Teach me HOW?!You in?
