What happens when your world is turned upside down? How do you navigate career, identity, purpose, and success in the face of life-altering events?
In part two of "Finding Your Purpose: When Things Fall Apart," Alex shares personal insights and advice on these tough questions and works through some challenges.
Remember, things aren't always as they seem - it's easy to look at someone from afar and think they have it all figured out, but we all face our own struggles and challenges. These conversations are meant to be a catalyst for growth and healing, so it's okay to give yourself grace and take things one step at a time.
Join us as we discuss how to find positivity and meaning in difficult situations and how to continue to work on ourselves to become the best version of ourselves.

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.
