Ep.67 Turning your obstacles into opportunities & thriving through change w/ Alexa Carlin
About this episode
Months before finishing university, Alexa Carlin went into septic shock, was induced into a medical coma and given a 1% chance to live. Her near-death experience brought on a string of health issues, but she refused to let this take her life or bring her down. Instead, she has (and shares) a mindset of transforming your obstacles into opportunities. She is now an in-demand public speaker, bestselling author of Adaptable, Content Creator and founder of Women Empower X, WEX Press and Speak to Elevate. She has also worked with Fortune Global 500 brands and has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network, Cheddar TV, FOX, ABC, CBS, TEDx and in Entrepreneur, Glamour Magazine, and Forbes.
In this episode, Alexa and I discuss:
- How to hold onto curiosity and hope when you are in a darkness
- Surrendering to the flow of life
- Accepting what you can & cannot control
- Starting something new: loosening the pressure & handling setbacks and rejection
- The secrets to having more confidence and communicating effectively
- Changing your mindset around fear: “Fake it until you feel it, because you shouldn't have to wait to like feel a certain way until you make it”
