Here’s just a few of the many pointers Alex shared:

How to stop shrinking and start stepping fully into our personal power

• It's not something we can do alone.
• The importance of investing in the right relationships
• Pay attention to authenticity
• It’s never easy to let go of people or a certain way of living, but the more you do it the easier it gets. You develop grit and resilience. It’s a muscle that you can strengthen.

The 4 root causes of cravings:

1. Bacterial
   • On a biochemical level, we are as much bacterial as we are human.  
2. Nutritional
   • . Your body craves what it needs. Look at your cravings in more of a curious way.
3. Emotional
   • . This gets shut out of dietary theory which is a shame. We are emotional creatures.
4. Physical
   • . Sex and food. Vitamin P is the thing that we are all lacking. Play and pleasure.

How women can build a support system?

• In-person events.
• Ask, “Who lights you up? Who are you attracted to?”
• Ask yourself, “How did you make friends when you were a kid?”
• Be intentional about putting yourself around the right people.
• Take a leap if you feel drawn to something. Other people like you will be there too.
