Taking The Punches

alex wasn’t getting the conversations she wanted to have with people irl so she decides to have conversations with the smartest person she knows… herself. recording from the comfort of her bed with her emotional support hot water bottle and expect a cup of tea or glass of wine. listen and feel as if you’re chatting one-on-one with your friends and venting about all things love, life, friendships, grief and more. because at the end of the day we’re all just taking the punches that life throws at us.

Lea G: Musician

In this week's episode Alex spoke with London based musician Lea G (@lea_g_music) and do NOT include the "h" folks! These two gals sat and discussed the music industry, of course bringing up being a woman in the industry and bringing up topics that hopefully spark a conversation to heal this broken industry. In the second half Lea bravely goes where no person should have ever gone.... Into the lyrics of high school Alex's manila folder that she wrote. Join us in a cocktail as we laugh, cry (okay that one is just Alex from embarrassment) and roll our eyes at men.
