Alexandra Gater is YouTube’s go-to home decor expert, an author, and entrepreneur. In today’s episode, we dive into her journey, starting with the “crisis moment” when she was laid off from her dream job and how that crisis sparked her entrepreneurial path. We also discuss her struggles with anxiety, her experiences as a woman in media, and the challenges of balancing career ambitions with personal milestones, like her desire to start a family.

Intentionally Disturbing

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
