If you're looking for a man instead of a boy, what questions should you ask yourself? I could talk about this topic F O R E V E R. Why? Because I've dated all the bad ones. So, here are some questions you should ask yourself when you start a new relationship with a partner. In this episode, we'll talk about:

• Why it matters where and how you met
• Why it matters who their friends are
• Why it matters how they treat their family
• Asking if your morals align (yes, it even matters if you vote similarly)
• And, pretty basic stuff but, do they respect you?!

With love, Lexi

• Why journaling might be the key to all my problems
• Apologizing even when you don't want to

There are things about me that always stood out that everyone would comment on...like my freckles. They probably didn't know how much I used to hate them. But something changed over time and now I see them as a beautiful thing.

I want to share some other things that I've grown out of (mindsets, body acceptance, horrible boys) and how. In this episode we'll talk about:

• Working through insecurities
• Dealing with the desire to impress
• Understanding my need to prove myself to adults and older people
• And, growing out of the need to always be happy

Sometimes life is a fun trip or photoshoot with friends. Easy going and lots to enjoy. Other times, it takes everything inside of you not to just collapse. For me, these last few weeks have been a CHALLENGE. And today, without dumping too much, I want to share what's been going on and how I've been getting through it. Some of the things we'll talk about:

• How living in Florida this month has been terrifying (hurricanes AND tornados?!)
• How to care for animals during storms and what you can do
• My journey to fostering dogs
• My journey to being traumatized by fostering dogs
• And, hear about the lovely, and difficult, story of 'Chicken'

Something you may not know about me is that I've been alcohol-free for the past three months. It hasn't been easy. Basically, I started paying attention to my body and how I felt the days after I drank -- anxious, sad and just no energy. I've taken breaks before but I would always come back to drinking. So to better understand my relationship with alcohol, I brought on one of the smartest people I know onto the pod, Dr. Jessica Leon.

Some of the things we get into here:

• A judgment-free conversation about (legal) drinking
• How exactly alcohol became so unavoidable
• How binge drinking steals our peace...and how it also steals our sleep! And our money :,)
• What exactly alcohol does to our bodies
• And, Dr. Jessica provides a checklist for questions we can ask ourselves to see if we're ready to change our relationship to alcohol

There are things I hate to talk about. Things that I'd literally rather do anything else in the world than unpack. But I've learned the hard way that if I don't talk about the hard things, the challenges I've faced, I stay stuck. Charlie Webster is an author, podcast host and superstar journalist, and she says not only is it ok to talk about those hard things, but you have to! Some things we'll talk about this week:

• How to make space to process your trauma
• How your critical voice is a roadmap to the things keeping you stuck
• Her upbringing, which was difficult but made her the woman she is today and why she shares her story
• And, all of the other surprising things she's done with her platform

I asked for your questions and they have been piling up in my DMs. Today is the day we start to dig in and answer them together! These honestly are my favorite episodes because, as you know I'm not a therapist, but I am someone who's gone through, and is going through, a lot of the same things.

• How to deal with friendship jealousy (of all kinds)
• Making friends as an introvert with social anxiety
• Tips on relationships, like moving from a crush to a LTR or knowing what your boundaries are and sticking to them
• And, advice for both freshman and seniors!

If there's someone who's done so much, so young, it's Tay Lautner. I got a chance to sit down with her and ask all the things I've been dying to ask, including:

• Her experience as a nurse during COVID
• How she protects her mental health
• Her pivot from health care to her wildly successful blog and podcast
• And, how she dreams really big in her dreams and has brought those dreams to life
