Just Alex

From Boyfriend to Baby Daddy (our 1 year anniversary) Oct 31, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 This week, we’re talking about our first year together and reflecting on our journey to parenthood (WOW—the power of a year!!!!). We dive into everything from how we knew we were ready for kids to whether we believe in love at first sight and if life is what we expected this time last year.

We also chat about breastfeeding and alcohol—can you really have a drink? Plus, I share my feelings on being in "pumping jail.” And everyone go make an email for your babes RIGHT NOW!!

Boob jobs, cheating in school & are kids developing slower? Oct 24, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We start off with (what we're guessing is) a familiar struggle of the canceled babysitter. We also realized we needed to get on a school list for school like before conception (who knew?) and dive into everything school from "out of classroom growth days" to some high school cheating stories.

We share our thoughts on Trump’s McDonald’s shift and discuss the CDC delaying developmental timelines (but honestly it’s hilarious we even care, considering we finally figured out how to use our stroller and change diapers hahhaha)

Plus, we chat about post-baby body changes (mainly post-baby boob jobs)

Real-life ‘Nobody Wants This’, our families & blending two religions Oct 17, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re all over the place today, starting with what my doctor is calling a "vaginal miracle" then diving into parental brain fog (maybe that's why we're all over the place lol). We talk about why we’ve stopped discussing our kid ('but Alex you have a podcast where all you've been talking about is your baby?!") and tackle the bizarre question of whether I should eat my placenta or use it to plant a tree.

We discuss how we're navigating raising a child with two religions and share our personal journeys with our religions. Plus, we’ll touch on Canadian Thanksgiving, give some family updates, and share our work pet peeves.

Facetuning your baby, postpartum body image & dental billing scams continued… Oct 10, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re diving into some *funny* & real new parent topics today (sorry, we’re only three weeks in—new topics of convo coming soon!).

We chat about whether both partners should get up for nighttime feeds. Spoiler alert: I don’t think so… Then we tackle the question: would you ever facetune your baby? I also share how I really feel about my postpartum body and recovery.

Harrison follows-up on his “all dentists are scammers” conspiracy theory - he’s not so happy with his new Austin dentist.

When a girl slides into your boyfriend's DMs... (ft. Harrison) Aug 08, 2024

When a girl slides into your boyfriend's DMs... Harrison and I had something *interesting* happen in our relationship this week (see title). We thought it would be valuable to discuss the boundaries we set in our relationship early on and why boundary setting is important for maintaining a healthy relationship. We cover topics like keeping in contact with exes, opposite sex friendships, sharing passcodes, location sharing, going out, and more.

Comparing less and living more w/ Y7 Studio’s Sarah Larson Levey Jul 25, 2024

This week on the podcast, I sit down with Sarah Larson Levey, Founder/CEO of Y7 Studio and a momma of two. As a business owner, mom, and NYC to Austin transplant, I knew there’d be a ton I could learn from Sarah, and she certainly didn't disappoint.

Sarah opens up about her path from launching Y7 as a pop-up to transforming it into a renowned yoga community focused on inner growth and self-acceptance. She talks into Y7's mirror-free philosophy, explaining how it helps individuals break free from the comparison trap. This mindset extends beyond yoga into Sarah's experiences in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and overcoming personal challenges like two miscarriages.

Hope you guys enjoy Sarah’s insights on reducing comparison to foster personal growth and happiness in every aspect of life :)

Advice from a therapist on how to stop being a people pleaser & start putting yourself first Jun 27, 2024

In this week’s episode, I’m getting advice from a therapist on how to stop being a people pleaser & start putting yourself first - two things I’ve been *trying* to prioritize throughout pregnancy. I’m joined by Dené Logan, a Marriage & Family Therapist, Author, and Podcast Host. Together, we dive deep into the topic of people-pleasing, exploring its roots, how it affects personal growth, and strategies to overcome it. I learned a TON from Dené that I’m excited to put into practice - hope you guys did too!

MID-YEAR RESET (goal setting & manifesting our next 6 months) Jun 13, 2024

In this week’s episode, Harrison and I do a complete mid-year reset, with a focus on goal setting & manifesting our next 6 months. I have a TON of major life changes happening right now - soon-to-be mom, new business, new relationship, moving cities (🤯) - I needed a little reset.

We walk through Harrison’s goal-setting framework, which covers five key buckets: family, friends, love life, impact (job), and wellbeing. And also share our goals for the second half of the year, as individuals and as a couple.

Two things I learned while prepping… You are 42% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down, and 65% more likely if you share them with an accountability partner. What do you think my odds are now that I’ve shared them with all of you?!

Add your goals in the comments below.👇👇Let’s do this together!!

2nd trimester update (baby shower recap & what's getting me through) Jun 06, 2024

Happy Thursday! I’m 26 weeks!! Wanted to sit down and give you a quick 2nd trimester update - I chat through my baby shower recap and what’s getting me through pregnancy right now.

This weekend Harrison’s mom & sister hosted a baby shower for me in Vancouver. 15/10 - no notes. The decorations, the plan for the afternoon, the company - everything was perfect. Happy to share details - shoot me your questions in the comments!!!

OK so what’s getting me through my second trimester?!

Here’s my R.E.P.O.R.T:

[R]eading - Baby books!! To the little babe every night before bed :-)

[E]ating - DAIRY. Any other moms suddenly no longer lactose intolerant?

[P]laying - NOT music. I can’t stand the sound of music while I’m pregnant. Need to do more research here…

[O]bsessing - Over FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE. I need to nest - and start decorating her room.

[R]ecommending - OK more books - but this time for you guys - anything by the author Jennie Allen!!

[T]reating: Lots of rest - currently developing a brain inside my stomach (don’t text)

Breaking down our budget, prenup & child support agreement (our "money talk") May 30, 2024

Happy Thursday! In today's episode, Harrison and I dive into a conversation we think every couple should have – the all-important "money talk." We discuss how we’re going to structure our budget, prenup (cohabitation agreement in our case 😉), and child support agreement.

I've received tons of DMs about the "money talk" before marriage and the transparency (or lack thereof) in how couples handle their finances (budgeting, joint bank accounts, prenups, etc.). We're breaking down our process, what we've learned, and our final decisions in hopes of normalizing this conversation.
