My Story (listen I've had a wild life so I'm going to summarize it as quickly as possible):

I had my spiritual awakening early at 17, rebelled against society and then feel into a deep drug addiction. Graduated high school early at 17, went to college immediately for a Philosophy major and psychology minor. I always loved learning about the mind because from an early age I suffered from depression, anxiety and suicidal ideations that lasted the majority of my life. If you asked me what I wanted to do when I was younger, it was to be happy.

At 22, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and this led me to pivot into my health journey. I had always been active in sports, but was taken out in 8th grade for my ankles. This led me back to the gym, focusing on personal development and eating healthier. When I first started creating content, it was about my gluten free recipes. You can still find them on instagram @alexaraewellness 

I realized then from first hand experience the power of the gut-brain connection. I noticed when I started to eat healthier, my overall mental health was improving tremendously. I had always loved food, but I absolutely fell in love with cooking. I still to do this day, cook three meals from scratch almost daily. Since I love learning, I deep dived into mental health, nutrition and gut health.

Meanwhile, I needed to get a job with health insurance since I had an autoimmune disease. And since I realized that my way clearly wasn't working, I asked myself who the happiest person I knew was professionally and it was my Aunt Meg. She worked for the NYS government at the Department of Taxation and Finance, so that's what I decided to do too. 

I have a stellium in Aquarius so I also loved the idea of being able to help people and the planet. And I was naive enough to think that someone with passion, work ethic and intelligence could effectively drive change. I know better now, but that's a different story. So I went to work for the New York State government at 23 and I put myself back into college for business at 25. 

I specialized in business while working for the state because I knew that I would be an entrepreneur. So I learned as much as I possibly could about running a business. Working for more agencies than anyone I know and becoming a Subject Matter Expert in every area I worked, it was apparent that I was not destined to work as a public servant.

I became extremely miserable while working for the government, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I did know that social media was the key so I started learning to create content on the side. I knew that working on my mental health would help me in my professional life. So I started to obsess over personal development.

I was always listening to audiobooks and podcasts. Even starting my own podcast very early on. This led me to finding digital products and services. I started to invest in ALL of them. While everyone around me was spending their paychecks on drinks and food, I was spending it on personal development.

Then COVID hit and I literally couldn't do it anymore (I was 8 years in at this point). I couldn't ethically call myself a public servant while we were spreading a huge fear campaign. I was so jaded that I didn't even want to be in NY anymore.

I decided to quit my career and move to SoFL with no back up plan. I was going to go all in on my business and I would never go back to a 9-5. I would bartend at night to make cash and spent the days working on my business.

Every single person in my life thought I was absolutely insane. And for the past 5 years, I've been creating content, programs, products and services. I've never felt happier, more free or like I'm living my true purpose.

It's allowed me to have a global business in which I've helped hundreds of thousands of people to manifest their desires. It's allowed me to live in 4 states in 4 years. I've been able to manifest my weekly NYS paycheck in an hour. I've given speeches at colleges nationally and internationally. I've been featured on national talk shows. 

And I'm just getting started!!
