Call Me When You Get This

Hi! I’m Alexis Rockley - an artist, author, and human pep talk. I’m going to “call” you, every week - because you need be reminded that you don’t suck. That someone out there loves you. That the world is not a raging dumpster fire, 100% of the time. I’ll tell you what I’m up to, cool shit I’ve learned about mental health and finding our purpose at work. I’ll be your cheerleader, champion, and hype woman. I’ll also probably ramble a little and make up stupid songs, but whatever, that’s me. Subscribe, click all the stars, and leave a mushy review (so I can “call” more humans with my trademark brand of aggressive kindness). So...call me when you get this?

Episode 12: NBD, Just a Big Announcement.

Oh, helllllo there. Just popping in to share an exciting announcement...while also slurping coffee and rustling the covers of my bed. (What!? All big announcements should be made from the comfort of one's bed.) Are you ready?

Episode 11: Don't Let Your Inspiration Go Sour (Here's How)

You know that feeling when you’re totally inspired by something (like a friend, someone on social media, an idea, anything really) and because of this thing, you’re filled with motivation and energy to change your life? But then, suddenly, that inspiration turns on you—and instead of feeling motivated and inspired, you now feel like sh*t, ashamed you haven’t accomplished anything close to that yet, or overwhelmed by all the ways you’ll never be enough? Asking for a friend.

Episode 10: How to build confidence, even if you have low self-esteem (who doesn't!?)

I’m about to release my book, Find Your F*ckyeah: Stop Censoring Who You Are and Discover What You Really Want (via Chronicle Books, in September 2019!)—so naturally, I’ve been having a crisis of confidence, because, you know, sharing art is always terrifying. So, today’s voicemail is as much for me as it is for you—because I’ve learned some stuff about confidence you just CAN’T UNSEE, stuff that will change your life.

Episode 9: You're not lazy, your brain is glitching. (How to avoid the scam of multitasking and still get things done.)

Hi hello hey there hiiiiii! Today I'm calling to clarify (1) no, you're not lazy, (2) no, you're not bad at your job, and (3) your brain is glitching, because—drumroll please—it turns out "multitasking" is a scam. In this voicemail, I breakdown the science behind why multitasking is actually "switch-tasking"—and what that's doing to your ability to focus + get anything done. (Hint: very bad things. Your brain needs a hug.) I also explain why your attention span is your only limited inner resource —and give practical tips for how to stay productive without giving into to the billions of dollars worth of advertising around "productivity," "efficiency," and "multitasking." Hint: studies show the most productive people do ONE thing at at time. (WTF?!) Oh, and more heavy breathing, loud trucks, and threats of rain. Good stuff.

Episode 8: Mindfulness for People Already Rolling Their Eyes

Hello! How the hell are ya? (hahahaha I’ve never said that in my life.) Today’s voicemail about mindfulness is for everyone rolling their eyes - because I don’t blame you. Meditation / mindfulness is uber trendy; it’s basically the “kale” of modern spirituality. Get ready for the simplest breakdown of mindfulness ever (no joke, I sum it up in four words), the garbled sound of wind in my earbuds, and a comment about my armpit sweat from way out of left field. You’re welcome.
