Description

Lexlos is Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, married 12 years, four kids, two Hollywood careers, and a whole lot of opinions about how to keep a family together while building a life you actually want. Every week they sit down with each other and with friends to talk about marriage, faith, parenting, work, and the stuff nobody warns you about. Real conversations, no scripts, no pretending they've got it figured out.




New episodes Tuesdays & Thursdays!

Disclaimer: This conversation is for general information and encouragement only. It is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything. Colby's comments reflect his own views, not advice for your situation. Talk to a licensed professional who knows your actual circumstances before you make any money decision. One of us saves. One of us gives it all away. Thirteen years of marriage and we are still negotiating it. Colby Gilmore is a wealth manager who works mostly with athletes and entertainers, and who emailed Carlos every month for eight months before we finally agreed to meet. He showed up and led with Jesus and family before he said a word about taxes, and that is pretty much how this conversation goes. Alexa tells the story of asking her mom, at seven or eight years old, how much she was making from a movie. Carlos admits that things, not money, were the idol. We have a real disagreement about debt that nobody in the room wins. Colby does the math on what a tithe actually came to in the Old Testament, which is a bigger number than you think, and then argues the ten percent is the wrong thing to be arguing about anyway. Plus the accounting partner who died a month after he retired, why Colby thinks retirement is made up, and the family he told to turn down millions of dollars. Episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

Neither of us parents that way now, and we're still figuring out what to do instead. Four kids in, we talk about how we were raised, the things we swore we'd never repeat and caught ourselves repeating anyway, giving our kids a real seat at the table, what we're feeding them, and the hardest two words in parenting. Plus the line that reframed it for us: there's a difference between a kid who's scared of you and a kid who doesn't want to let you down. Not a how-to. Just what we're trying.

Brian Pruett has spent his life in fitness, and he'll be the first to tell you it's temporary. Futile, even. It just opens doors. The former ballplayer and coach talks about what baseball taught him about chasing approval, how his wife Gigi found him because of the fame he was embarrassed by, and why broken isn't an identity. Then our producer Derek drops a reframe near the end that none of us have shaken since: stop trying to be liked, start trying to make people feel loved.

A bonus episode. We went live on Talk Shop Live to talk about our new book, Joy Isn't Canceled, and sign pre-order copies. Why we wrote it, why that title, and what it actually means to say joy isn't canceled when you're in the middle of something you'd never have chosen. Signed pre-orders: https://talkshop.live/shop/-Hjo-JUut665 Joy Isn't Canceled is out November 3. Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@LexLos Learn more about your ad choices.

She didn't cheat. But for a few days on tour, Los was convinced he'd lost her. We talk about what Hollywood does to a marriage: months apart, kissing scenes, and a job where flirting comes with the territory. The season that hurt the most, the boundaries we set afterward, and why "I'm just a flirty person" isn't a free pass. Not only an actor problem. If you work closely with anyone who isn't your spouse, this one's for you. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. Watch on YouTube at youtube.com/LEXLos Learn more about your ad choices.
