When a supermodel who graced over 500 magazine covers tells you she initially wanted to be a pharmacist, you know you're in for a fascinating story of life's unexpected turns. Kim Alexis joins us to share her remarkable journey from competitive swimmer to international modeling sensation to wellness advocate, revealing how each chapter of her life seamlessly connected to create a purpose-driven career that continues to evolve.
Discovered at just 17 in her small hometown near Buffalo, Kim's meteoric rise in modeling happened almost overnight – landing her first magazine cover within four days and a national makeup contract within three months. But what makes her story truly compelling isn't the glamour, but her steadfast commitment to authenticity throughout her career. "I enjoyed being humble," she reflects, explaining how her Christian faith guided her to prioritize serving others above personal fame.
The conversation takes us through Kim's fascinating career transitions – from replacing Lauren Hutton at Revlon to becoming Good Morning America's fashion correspondent to her current role as National Wellness Ambassador for Trilogy by Shea Homes. Now crafting healthy menus, creating fitness content, and inspiring active adults across the country, Kim's work beautifully connects to her original passion for health and wellness. Her kitchen experiments with kombucha, sourdough starters, and homemade "shrubs" (fascinating vinegar infusions!) reveal someone who truly practices the holistic lifestyle she promotes.
What resonates most is Kim's refreshing approach to social media and influence. Refusing to "dilute her brand" with paid product promotions, she shares knowledge purely to help others, creating content herself that's authentic, informative, and genuinely useful. Her message for women designing their best lives, especially in second or third acts? Focus on prevention, maintain what you have, and approach wellness with encouragement rather than perfection.
Listen in for a master class in reinvention from someone who's continually redesigned her life with purpose, faith, and an unwavering commitment to helping others thrive. Follow Kim's wellness journey @the_kimalexis on Instagram and discover her practical approach to living well.

Welcome.
Kim Alexis (01:50):
Welcome, yeah, thanks, it's really good to see
you.
Scott Woolley (01:53):
It's been a very long time since I last seen you.
Tiffany Woolley (01:56):
Yes, you and Scott have a history, which is
fun.
Scott Woolley (02:00):
Going back to the late 90s, is it?
Kim Alexis (02:03):
Going back to the late 90s, is it?
Well, we had a show calledParenting in the 90s and then it
hit the 2000s, and then we didParenting and.
Beyond Correct.
Tiffany Woolley (02:13):
That's like right when we did Meet, we did a
lot of episodes of that show.
That was before.
Scott Woolley (02:21):
Scott was a parent.
Yes, yes, and I changed my lifearound after I became a parent.
I only wanted to have threechildren.
I didn't want to have 200 andsome children.
I guess that's good, we soldthat company and now doing
different things.
Tiffany Woolley (02:37):
Yes, we are.
Scott Woolley (02:38):
So I want to jump in with Kim.
Your career started at 17.
Kim Alexis (02:44):
I mean, I was discovered at 17 in my small
little town in Buffalo.
Well, I was from outside of.
Buffalo.
I used to drive into Buffalo togo to modeling school and I got
discovered there at 17.
So I graduated high school at17 and decided when I turned 18
(03:05):
that I would just give it a shotand try modeling for a year and
could always go back to college.
So I was registered at theUniversity of Rhode Island in
the pharmacy program and putthem off for a year, thinking I
was just going to see whattranspired with the modeling.
And I had a cover within fourdays for Italian Bazaar and
(03:28):
things just took off immediately.
I had my first national makeupad within three months and it
was a whirlwind.
Tiffany Woolley (03:36):
That is a whirlwind.
Scott Woolley (03:37):
So did that all start in Buffalo or did you end
up going to?
Kim Alexis (03:41):
New York, by the way , or somewhere else.
I graduated high school andmoved to New York City literally
at 18.
So I started my career in NewYork City.
Scott Woolley (03:53):
But you were, if I remember correctly, a
competitor.
You swam, correct.
Kim Alexis (03:58):
Yes, yeah, I was swimming five and a half hours a
day.
I was number one in New Yorkstate.
I was a butterflyer and abackstroker, so, um, we were
always in the pool.
I mean, my hair was always wet.
I used to show up at themodeling school with wet hair.
Scott Woolley (04:15):
Did you have aspirations of like Olympics or
anything like that?
Swimming wise Cause five hoursa day?
That's a dedication.
Kim Alexis (04:25):
I know.
No, I was kind of happy to benumber one in New York State.
I, I don't know, I don't thinkwe did nationals um, but no, I I
thought that I was going to bea pharmacist, so I was ready to
go to a five-year college to geta degree, and that all changed
it.
Tiffany Woolley (04:44):
It's interesting that, like your life
kind of did come full circle,with your passion now being in
the health and wellness and youwere going to dive into
pharmaceuticals and you were anathlete, so it's kind of like
the modeling was a littlepathway, it was a sidebar.
A sidebar, that's a better wayof explaining it.
Scott Woolley (05:05):
Yeah, a little sidebar, but swimming is very
competitive and, from what Iknow of modeling, modeling is
extremely competitive, correct?
Kim Alexis (05:14):
No, I would say modeling.
To me, modeling was not becauseyou either had the look or
whatever they wanted.
And it was nothing that youcould do.
Your efforts did not create thejob in my opinion so
interesting.
Scott Woolley (05:33):
But as you grew in modeling and you're on over
500 magazine covers, I mean youstayed pretty grounded, you
stayed like.
Kim Alexis (05:44):
Yeah, I just.
I mean, I got knocked off mypeg a couple life and I was one
of those self-reflecting, alwayschecking in with myself to see
(06:11):
where I could improve or change,and so I was willing to make
changes because I enjoyed beinghumble.
Oh, that's amazing.
And I'm a Christian.
So I feel like my job is toserve others Right, and so I
felt more comfortable being downto earth than I did being up in
(06:33):
the clouds.
So I guess that's where Iwanted to end up.
I just want to.
I mean, you can't ever sayyou're humble, because if you
claim you're humble, then you'renot Correct.
But I try my best to help andserve others and put other
people first, and that's justimportant to me.
Tiffany Woolley (06:54):
So what was a highlight of your career at that
time of your life, like, was ita magazine cover, or was it,
you know, traveling abroad, orwhat was the drive or the
highlight?
Kim Alexis (07:08):
I can't say what the drive was, except I I dove into
a business that I never wantedwhich I always feel is a lucky
way of stumbling in when younever wanted it.
You don't have anything to losewell, I think a lot of your
successful models never grew upstudying fashion and um thinking
(07:34):
about modeling or thinkingabout makeup.
We were always doing otherthings, and so it was just an
opportunity to see what wouldcome of it, and it became a
challenge in a way, I guess, tosee what was out there and when
things keep getting handed toyou.
(07:55):
I was being offered 14 jobs aday.
And so I could pick and choose.
It's hard to walk away fromthat, so I spent probably five
years hard working, workingevery day.
I mean I've got boxes and boxesof tear sheets where you can
imagine one of the fewbusinesses where you can
(08:17):
physically and visually see whatyou did and so you can tell
that I was just always working,because I have literally like
five boxes banker boxes filledwith tear sheets.
Scott Woolley (08:31):
So is there a moment in your career at that
time that kind of stands out?
Like you know, you're SportsIllustrated.
You were in it numerous times,yeah.
Kim Alexis (08:43):
Yeah, sports Illustrated was more up my alley
.
Number one I was athletic.
Number two I grew up swimming,so to me, being in a swimsuit
was very natural right so funny,so yeah that was pretty easy
for me.
Uh, the hard parts was the highfashion which I had not grown up
with and didn't reallyunderstand, so I spent a lot of
(09:06):
time just being quiet andlistening to all the experts and
I was around the top experts inphotography I mean, the best
photographers in the world andthe best hair and the best
makeup people in the world andback then everyone stayed in
their lane.
So if you were a hairdresser,you only did hair, you did hair.
If you were a assistant to aphotographer, you were into
(09:28):
lighting or you were into thesound.
If it was for video, everybodyhad their own lane.
Voice Over (09:33):
Now, of course, we all have to write our own
scripts and light it.
Kim Alexis (09:38):
I mean, I've got my own light here.
You get to be an expert in allthese other aspects and I fought
it for a long time.
Like I'm not doing that,everybody should come to me and
I'll just do this one thing.
Good, and back in the day youknow how older people are like.
Back in the day we did thingsthis way, right?
Tiffany Woolley (09:59):
Yeah.
Kim Alexis (09:59):
Well, times change and you better change with them
or you're going to be left inthe dust times change and you
better change with them oryou're going to be left in the
dust.
Tiffany Woolley (10:07):
So when did things start to change where you
were like, well, let me stepaway a little bit at all, or did
you feel like you kind ofalways stayed in the in the
modeling realm for?
Kim Alexis (10:16):
No, so I think probably things changed when I
got a contract, so I was theultimate two girl.
I replaced Lauren Hutton, okay.
Tiffany Woolley (10:27):
Yeah, yeah.
Kim Alexis (10:29):
It was Revlon, so I was paid to be exclusive and to
not work in other modeling jobs.
They wanted me exclusive, sothat contract lasted three years
.
When that ended, I couldn't gobackwards.
Three years when that ended, Icouldn't go backwards.
So my name had my face, facialrecognition, my name.
(10:49):
Everything had changed and backin the 70s and 80s we weren't
really thinking of brands likemy name wasn't a brand, and so I
naturally had protected thatwithout knowing I was protecting
it.
And so now I was a name,household name and a brand and I
couldn't go back and do thosecatalogs the other girls were
(11:11):
doing.
So I had to figure out otherways to have a career and make
money and so I went intobroadcasting.
I became the fashioncorrespondent on Good Morning
America for three years and so Ilearned that craft and then
went off to do hosting differentcable shows back in the day
when cable was a big thing.
And you're redesigning your lifein this process and then worked
(11:34):
with Scott, which is reallyamazing because you didn't
realize it at the time.
Tiffany Woolley (11:40):
But I mean, we talk about this on the podcast a
lot, how we all are our ownbrand and you were kind of ahead
of the curve curating that.
It's so interesting that youwere able to push yourself to
join all these other platforms.
Kim Alexis (11:57):
Well, and I think another thing to think about is
that there are a lot ofbeautiful girls out there.
I guess you'd say girls versuswomen, but to have the business
sense, to be able to get to acertain point, modeling is a
whole other thing to have thatmindset.
So it's a whole package.
It's not just the physicallooks, it is how you conduct
(12:20):
your life, and some of thesegirls would throw things away
and and um not show up on timeand um not be good to clients.
Paint their brand, yeah, andfor some I mean it kind of was
okay with the bad girl image,but uh, not for longevity.
Tiffany Woolley (12:41):
yeah, yeah't last For the long world it's not
.
That's unbelievable.
So, as a brand ambassador forRevlon, what do you think you
know was the that you learnedthe most from that experience?
Kim Alexis (12:58):
Well, I got to work with my mother a lot.
So there was a one product theyhad called ProCollagen and it
was three generations.
So my mom got to work with me.
Tiffany Woolley (13:08):
Oh, that's so.
What a wonderful like tidbit.
Kim Alexis (13:12):
Yeah, that was wonderful, and my grandmother
did not want to be in it, so wefound a woman and called her
Aunt Nancy.
That's so funny, yeah, but itwas.
That was in itself wonderful,and my mom had never modeled
before and at the time she wasprobably about 45.
I was in my 20s like early 20s,so she was probably about 45
(13:36):
and started at the top and she'slike, oh, this is so much fun,
it's wonderful, and I'm like Mom, you started at the top so for
her.
Once my contract ended, herskind of came to a screeching
halt also.
But that was a fun time to beable to work with her and help
her see my world from the groundfloor, you know.
Scott Woolley (13:58):
So it was neat what was your experience, you
know, with the show on HBO thatabout face.
Kim Alexis (14:07):
Yes, yeah, that was fun number one.
It was like a reunion to be withall the other models right um,
because a lot of times when weworked we would work alone, so
you were on set with hair,makeup and everyone else, but it
wasn't like you were with a lotof your other top girls, so to
(14:27):
be able to be in a room and talkwith them and then have an
interview, and we all did superlong interviews and then they
just took bits and pieces fromeach one of us.
Long interviews and then theyjust took bits and pieces from
each one of us.
But yeah, it was.
Uh, it was really fun to catchup with the girls that we had
seen off and on here and thereand and just get to hang out for
(14:48):
the day that's interesting,that you know.
Scott Woolley (14:50):
I think most people think that all of you
were together all the time onthese different shoes and stuff,
but I guess, not Even theSports Illustrated swimsuits.
Kim Alexis (15:01):
They would overlap if they needed a double shot of
two girls, but each girl gottheir own like five days of
working by themselves, andsometimes then someone else
would fly in and someone elsewould be flying out, and so
you'd get to do like I've donedoubles with Paulina and also
Kelly Enberg, and so each one ofus had our own time versus
(15:26):
standing there it's hard,because if you're sitting around
watching someone else work.
It's like, okay, why am I here?
So their time best used wasusing each one of us all day for
a couple of days and thenrotating out.
Tiffany Woolley (15:40):
Do you stay in touch with any of those girls or
even, like you said, the peoplethat were you were really with
the most, like the photographersand the makeup and hair?
Kim Alexis (15:51):
Yes, well, social media makes it easy to stay in
touch that way.
But I have certain girlfriendsthat were models and we, if I'm
going to New York, I'll staywith Carol Alter, nancy Donahue
and I just saw Kelly Enberg.
She comes to Scottsdale.
One of her other friends washere having a birthday so we got
to hang out together and it'sjust one, it's like a sister and
(16:15):
they understand aspects of thebusiness that other people don't
, and so it's that insider.
Oh yeah, I know how that feels,type thing.
Scott Woolley (16:25):
So you just mentioned social media, which we
see you quite a bit on.
We follow you on it, oh good.
Again, you've redesigned yourlife and you're so involved in
health and wellness and you know, tell us more about that,
because it's a great subjectmatter, and I just think the
things you're doing are great aswell.
(16:45):
I mean just it's.
Kim Alexis (16:47):
So for me, I think, with the pharmacy interest, in
my background.
I was very interested in causeand effect.
What we do here affects whatwe're like here, and that
includes health and wellness.
And so I started diving intoproducts and because I came from
(17:10):
marketing, where you market aproduct of what it will do for
you, I I wanted to.
I just had this naturalcuriosity of, okay, well, maybe
it makes my skin smoother ormaybe it makes my life better or
maybe it smells better, butwhat is that doing to my health?
So not the marketing aspect ofhow it helps you or makes your
(17:33):
life easier or more beautiful orwhatever it is, but what?
How does that affect youhealth-wise?
And so that's where I starteddiving in social media and I
remember my first filming andI'd hired a PR, a local PR
company here in Scottsdale.
Voice Over (17:50):
And.
Kim Alexis (17:51):
I thought, you know, because I'd had so much
background with Good MorningAmerica, that it would be easy,
easy.
But it's a different format andso I had to write my own
scripts and they helped lightand they helped shoot the video
and stuff.
But for me it was oh, now, allof a sudden I've got the
(18:12):
research and I have a platformand I'm responsible for what I
say, and nobody else.
I didn't have to run it byanybody, and so it's a whole
different way of filming andbeing out there.
And I tell you, most of thetime I love listening to the
(18:32):
feedback from people, butsometimes there are some really
mean people out there, really.
Tiffany Woolley (18:39):
I know, and that's where your mindset has to
stay, above all of that.
Kim Alexis (18:44):
Well, I try and answer everybody, but some of
their comments don't reallydeserve an answer.
Tiffany Woolley (18:51):
An answer yeah, they're very accusatory.
Kim Alexis (18:53):
For the most part, though, most of my 99% of the
people who interact with me onsocial media are wonderful and
kind and supportive and lovingand respectful, but there's once
in a while where you get theseweird crude.
It's like what are you talking?
Tiffany Woolley (19:10):
about.
Well, that's kind of everywherein life, you know, and it
becomes part of the, you know.
Kim Alexis (19:16):
Staying away from those types of people everywhere
, in every aspect, yeah, so, asyou dove into this, you know,
new life of national wellnessambassador with Trilogy yes, so
I work with Trilogy by SheaHomes and they've got
communities around the countryand they're active adult
(19:36):
communities and they wanted todeliver a message to their
members of health and wellnessand so they've got different
people they work with, but theyhired me to come on and deliver
that health and wellness message.
So I do things from curatingmenu items at their local clubs,
their restaurants, to fitnessvideos, and I write articles
(20:02):
every week on different parts ofwellness or highlighting
something that's important, andmonthly videos also on their
newsletter.
Tiffany Woolley (20:11):
So what does that design process look like
for you?
Do they give you input, like wewould like you to you know,
center around this this week orhighlight this this month, or is
it something that you, if I'mwriting, articles.
Kim Alexis (20:24):
yes, each month has a theme nationwide, and so we
will write on things that dealwith the theme of the month.
Scott Woolley (20:35):
So you're writing menus, menus, so you're writing
.
Kim Alexis (20:38):
No, no, no.
I write articles on some pointof wellness or fitness, or we've
just gotten a new app and gymequipment and ways to monitor
your natural age, and so it'strying to educate the members on
.
Use this app and you'll getexercises you can do at home or
(21:02):
different ways to be able to mapthe progress and age that you
currently are.
Tiffany Woolley (21:08):
So it's pretty neat.
That is very interesting.
How does the app like?
Are you on the app yourself solike, are you actually taking
advantage of some of the sametechnology?
Kim Alexis (21:20):
I take advantage of it, but they don't have me on
the app.
It's techno gym, and so Ibelieve that they already are
established with other peopleand I'm not leading a class or
something on their app yet,although I am studying to be a
certified fitness instructor.
I saw that too.
Tiffany Woolley (21:39):
So what fitness are you like kind of honing in
on?
I know like so much, Well soit's.
Kim Alexis (21:45):
It would be a group class and that could be anything
from, and I'm not a dancer, soyou're not going to see me doing
Zumba?
I think it would to me.
I like strength training andcircuit training.
So it would probably be more ofthat, but I just felt it was
important to get thecertification so that others
feel comfortable.
(22:05):
Sometimes certain states don'trequire any certification for an
instructor, which is veryinteresting.
Scott Woolley (22:14):
So do you plan on being an instructor and
teaching and training?
Kim Alexis (22:19):
That's not my number one priority no.
I've got a lot of irons in thefire.
I'm also a real estate agent,so I took the whole real estate
course and got licensed justbecause I'm working with
builders.
So Shea Homes is a nationalbuilder and I wanted to
understand the whole process ofbuying and selling homes.
Yeah.
Tiffany Woolley (22:40):
So are they based in Arizona Shea Homes or
are they everywhere?
Kim Alexis (22:45):
They're everywhere.
The original Shea Brothers areout of California but we have an
office that's six minutes frommy house here in Scottsdale and
so I go there quite a bit.
I was on a live podcast withthem yesterday talking about
where I came from and how I gotto where I was in the wellness
industry.
So we did that and we are justconstantly developing.
(23:09):
This is a.
In a way, it's a whole new areafor someone of my expertise, um
area for someone of myexpertise, um number one.
there's not many supermodelsthat focus solely on longevity
and fitness and wellness.
They don't have my fitnessbackground.
I I always struggled inmodeling because I was a little
(23:31):
bit bigger and more muscularthan the other girls and
sometimes that doesn't fit.
The clothes didn't fit so well,so I tried to prove that I was
an athlete and I ran eightmarathons.
Tiffany Woolley (23:41):
Amazing, amazing, and it looks like
you're keeping that up, thatathletic background, right.
Kim Alexis (23:49):
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, fitness is important,wellness was important and it's
so.
Some of the other girls are off.
I have one of my girlfriends isin real estate and I have
another one who's doing what youdo, tiffany, which is interior
design, and so we all had ourdifferent passions, and so it's
nice to see us growing up andmaturing.
Tiffany Woolley (24:10):
It really is, and continually learning too.
Yes, I feel like that is suchan important part of growing in
our life is to continue to trynew things, challenge ourselves
and learn Well and I never wentto college and.
Kim Alexis (24:27):
I loved school, so I am now making up for lost time.
I'm also halfway through aministry degree, so to me I've
been a.
Tiffany Woolley (24:36):
Bible study leader.
Kim Alexis (24:38):
Yeah, so I just enjoy that aspect and I'd like
to have that also.
Tiffany Woolley (24:44):
How special actually.
So with this shake because it'sfunny I was telling Scott last
night I'm so I'm going to diveeven more into that because I
feel like kind of the golfcommunity thing was a time in
the world and now people aremoving into these wellness
communities and I've had a lotof clients relocating or empty
(25:06):
nesters moving.
You know to retirement.
They're young, they're like intheir mid-50s.
You know they had and they arechoosing to go to these
communities.
You know that are centeredaround health and wellness.
You know the interaction withother people coming.
You know whether it be a newmarriage.
(25:26):
It's really like kind of afresh start.
Scott Woolley (25:29):
Yeah, in this area, the company that does it
has a lot of these communities.
Gl Homes yeah, there's so manyof them.
That has a lot of thesecommunities.
Gl Homes there's so many ofthem.
There's five houses right nowthat we're doing that are in
these GL Home communities.
That are the 50-pluscommunities where people are
leaving where they've lived,moving here, buying one of these
(25:51):
houses and Tiffany's renovatingthe whole house because it's
probably 15 or 20 years old.
But when the clients are comingin here, it's all about health,
wellness and pickleball.
Tiffany Woolley (26:03):
Yeah, pickleball's a big one.
Voice Over (26:06):
I know.
Scott Woolley (26:07):
But about the community and the menu you know
and the food that they'reserving, and that's the
conversation people are alllooking at.
Tiffany Woolley (26:16):
And they're not stopping, they're continuing.
The growth is just going rightup the coast.
Kim Alexis (26:21):
It's like kind of a fascinating niche yeah yeah,
well, it's where I think peopleare understanding the value of a
healthy, active lifestyle andsocially interconnected with
each other, and thesecommunities are, if they're done
correctly, offer so much thatyou may be in that last chapter
(26:44):
of your life we don't know howlong we're going to live but you
want to do it well and you wantto feel good, and so keeping
with other like-minded people ina community is a neat thing it
really is special, yeah thesepeople I mean, they are the, the
ones at the shea trilogies arejust such great people and
(27:06):
they've had such great lives andas
you talked about everybody's gotthis great history, yep, but
they all want the same thingthey want to feel good as
they're older, they want tocelebrate life, they want to
celebrate each other and get outthere and do different things
and there's so many activitiesand you just feel part of a
community and it's that youdon't have to live alone or live
(27:30):
in the home you had when yourkids were there.
Tiffany Woolley (27:32):
And now they're all gone, so true, which is
such a mindset.
So as, like you know, you're inthis journey of the fitness and
health, what does your dailypersonal routine look like for
health and wellness on mycounter.
Kim Alexis (27:54):
I did a video on that.
I'm like here's what's going onin my kitchen and my counter,
so I've got kombucha tea.
That.
Voice Over (28:01):
I have going.
Kim Alexis (28:02):
I've got my sourdough yeast starter that I
have to keep feeding every day.
Tiffany Woolley (28:07):
And mine is completely nuts.
Kim Alexis (28:10):
It blows up when I open it.
Oh, that's so funny.
So I'm a big person on havinghealthy well things in my pantry
, all around my counter.
My poor husband, he's just gotto deal with all the different
things I've got going on.
I've learned how to make shrubs.
(28:30):
I don't know if you know whatshrubs are no, no.
Scott Woolley (28:33):
What is that?
Kim Alexis (28:34):
so shrubs is taking like a mason jar, okay, adding
herbs, or I mean I have arosemary bush that's crazy in my
backyard and I've got basilgrowing in my and thyme growing
in my garden and so you shovethat in the mason jar.
And then I've got citrus fruit,because we live here in
Scottsdale, so right outside mydoor, and I take citrus fruit
(28:57):
and I crush it up and pour thejuice in there and then throw
the rinds in and then you addred wine, vinegar and sugar so
that it starts to ferment andall those flavors start to make
an essence.
And after a couple days orweeks whatever you want you just
pour out the shrub part, thesticks in the, in the leaves and
(29:19):
things, and you're just leftwith this elixir of a part
vinegary part, essence ofwhatever you just had in there.
So you can add that to.
I don't drink alcohol, but youcan add it to alcohol, or you
can add it to water or seltzerwater, and what does it?
Scott Woolley (29:35):
taste.
What does it taste like?
Is it?
Kim Alexis (29:38):
well it.
I mean I like using my rosemaryand my citrus, so it's got that
bit of essence in it oh, itsounds really cool, so my
counter is I think for me I'm.
I'm always keeping healthyoptions in my pantry so that I'm
one of those last men I'm not areal, real planner.
So dinner sometimes at fouro'clock it's like, hmm, I have
(30:00):
this, I can mix it with this andI can put this and that's
dinner, and so for me I have tobe spontaneous and just have all
my little tools around me sothat I can create when the mood
hits me.
And as far as fitness, I've gotgot a gym.
I love some of the classesbecause, as I said, I'm taking
my own instructor course, so Iwant to see what other people
(30:22):
are doing, but I'm a bigbeliever in just going out and
going for a bike ride for anhour.
I've got a single speed bike.
I don't have a big fancy bikewith all the gears because I
want to work out.
I don't want to be likeefficient and going 25 miles an
hour so I stay on the out.
I don't want to be likeefficient and going 25 miles an
hour on the road.
That scares the heck out of me.
So I stay on the sidewalk andI'm just on my little beach
(30:44):
cruiser and chugging along andprobably burning more calories
than they do.
So that's important to me, justgetting.
I walk my dog every day.
I have to get outside, I haveto be outside.
It's really important and it'seasy here to do in Scottsdale.
Scott Woolley (30:59):
Yeah.
Tiffany Woolley (31:00):
So are you enjoying living in Scottsdale?
Kim Alexis (31:03):
I yes, I love it.
Tiffany Woolley (31:05):
Was it a big change for you, coming from
South Florida?
Well, south Florida, northFlorida.
Kim Alexis (31:11):
Actually, I actually came from New York City, so
I've moved around.
So I met my husband now when Iwas in Boulder, colorado, and
then I moved to New York Cityand then he and I started dating
and I thought I'd rather livehere in Scottsdale than in New
(31:32):
York City.
So he had been established here, and so now I've got
girlfriends and a life and justenjoy being out here.
I do miss my sons, who are backin Florida, so I've got
probably this a lot of travelcoming up, as my first
grandchild is going to be comingin two months.
Tiffany Woolley (31:50):
So do we know if it's a girl or a boy?
It's a little boy, oh I love it.
It's just keeping coming.
I know I said it.
I know a little boy, oh, I loveit, it's just keeping coming.
I know I said it, I know You'lljust have all my grandsons.
Scott Woolley (32:03):
Oh, I don't.
Three sons and a grandson.
Tiffany Woolley (32:04):
Well it was funny because my grandmother
always she wanted like agrandson too and it took like a
lot of them to finally get agrandson.
So I pray you'll get.
I'm sure you will get there,but it's exciting.
Scott Woolley (32:18):
So, with all the things that you're doing and
you've done, you've also writtena number of books.
Yes, anything new on thehorizon.
Kim Alexis (32:29):
No, I kind of slowed down from that.
So for a while I was acontributor a wellness
contributor with Men's Journal,and so I was writing three
articles of 500 words a day forMen's Journal.
Voice Over (32:42):
And so I got a little burned out.
Kim Alexis (32:44):
Writing.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Tiffany Woolley (32:44):
I'm taking a break burned out writing.
Kim Alexis (32:45):
Yeah, that's a lot.
I'm taking a break.
Scott Woolley (32:48):
You mean your career has really it's been kind
of all over the map in terms ofall these very interesting
things and it's nice that it'sall like in the health you know
and wellness and taking care ofyourself and living longevity
and philosophy and faith.
Tiffany Woolley (33:05):
I mean you really touch a lot of facets.
Voice Over (33:08):
Where did your?
Tiffany Woolley (33:09):
faith journeys, you know, come into play and
then you decide to.
Kim Alexis (33:16):
I grew up a Christian and I went to a church
with my mom and my sister.
My dad didn't want to go.
He was a chemical engineer andhe felt that we couldn't prove
God existed, so he was not goingto church.
But I was an elder of my churchat 17.
Before I got discovered andwent to New York City, they
wanted young people's opinions,so I was an elder.
(33:37):
But then I went to New YorkCity and, of course, life
happened in tons of differentsituations and by the time I hit
30, I was struggling in myfirst marriage and I had hired a
young girl who was a Christianand I realized she would live
with me in New York City and shewas helping take care of my two
(33:58):
sons at the time I only had twoand just the way she lived her
life, I'm like I want what youhave.
What is it that you have that?
Tiffany Woolley (34:07):
I don't.
Kim Alexis (34:07):
So it was Jesus in my heart, and so I asked for
that also, and my journey hasjust been wonderful and life
changing.
From that point on, the moreyou study, I think, the more you
learn that it changes yourheart and who you are inside it
really does, and is thatsomething that you spoke about
to your boys as well?
(34:29):
Oh yes.
Oh yes, oh yeah.
I know and I feel like from avery young age one, becoming a
parent.
Tiffany Woolley (34:36):
It's such a great foundation that you know
everything in life is built on.
Yes.
Kim Alexis (34:43):
Yeah, because he made it all.
Tiffany Woolley (34:45):
It's so true In fact, I this year started what
catechism in a year I'm like, Ilistened to so many podcasts I
said let me at least do 20minutes every morning to I'm a
Catholic.
And on day three it was.
It was a whole thing on how,wherever you know there is a
(35:07):
design, it was created by him.
So wherever it was and I waslike, oh, I'm on the right track
.
It was like a good aha momentfor me that you know we were
pushing through on the rightthing, because wherever there is
a thing, it was created anddesigned by someone.
And obviously God created usand this world and this life
(35:30):
that we get to you know, conquerand enjoy.
Kim Alexis (35:34):
Walking my dog.
I'll look at the beautifulflowers and, believe it or not,
Scottsdale, there's tons ofbeautiful flowers.
Even the cactus bloom once ayear, and so I just look at the
intricacy of each differentflower and it's like, wow, so
much work was put into andartistry was put into each
little tiny flower.
Tiffany Woolley (35:53):
It's true, our God is an awesome God.
I mean for the bugs to theflowers, girls, and I say I say
to them all the time when theybring something up, I'm like
it's just our God is really likeeverything was thought out with
such intention, which goes backto design too.
I feel like you know, Exceptmosquitoes and fire ants.
(36:13):
But they all serve a purposetoo.
Kim Alexis (36:16):
I'm going to ask what that purpose.
I'm sure they feed the bats orsomething, but do we have to
have bats?
Tiffany Woolley (36:22):
I know we love to entertain and at our house we
have this one friend who thebugs we like are always outside.
Nobody has any bug situationand every time she comes over
she's got the bugs well is, andthat could be because some does.
Kim Alexis (36:41):
She drink beer no, no like they.
There's a sweet smell thatcomes out if people have a lot
of sugar or something, and ayeasty smell if they drink beer,
and so some people attract waymore bugs than others.
It's true, but then there'sthings you can plant like
rosemary and mint, around thedoorways or your windows,
(37:04):
wherever you feel bugs might becoming in your house, and those
are supposed to deter bugs anddifferent things.
So you know, life itself withplants is pretty interesting too
.
Tiffany Woolley (37:15):
Yes, have you ever done the sprouts?
If you're into the, I lovesprouts that was another thing.
I tried in like 2020, when wewere home a lot.
Scott Woolley (37:26):
Because, yeah.
Kim Alexis (37:28):
Yeah, you have to do that again.
Right, You'll think about itand I was like, oh, I just
thought about it.
I was like, oh, I need to bringthat back out, Throw it in
salads.
Tiffany Woolley (37:36):
Right, and they say the broccoli sprouts is a
good one too, for everything.
Kim Alexis (37:41):
Yeah, broccoli alfalfa.
I love alfalfa.
Scott Woolley (37:45):
So you started your career in front of the
camera, with people takingphotos and being videoed and so
forth, and now you're what Inotice you're at a point in your
life where you're doing so muchof it yourself for social media
and so forth.
So you seem to be extremelyengaged within social media and
(38:06):
promoting and promoting healthand wellness and so forth.
Do you enjoy that process ofyou know, videoing yourself and
getting messages out and soforth?
Kim Alexis (38:17):
Yes.
So I try not to focus too muchon me, but what I can give other
people to help, either inspirethem or help them out.
One thing I won't do iscollaborate, so I don't dilute
my brand by promoting anyproduct for money.
So everything I do is free andI don't get paid by anyone.
(38:40):
I don't believe in that,because if I'm going to promote
something, it's as an ambassador, as an endorser, which I do for
Trilogy by Shea Holmes, so I'mnot interested in these tiny
little.
Oh here, get this littlemascara and then I make $10.
Scott Woolley (38:58):
Right, no, but I have to tell you, because we've
talked about this, the stuffthat you're putting out is
really good.
It's entertaining.
Well, and it's authentic, it'sauthentic, it's, it's
entertaining, it's authentic,it's interesting and you know,
and you say, I think everyonewants to also watch you.
You're a great presenter.
Kim Alexis (39:18):
Oh well, thank you, yeah, and I do it all just by
myself.
Last week I got kind of got alittle irked at a comment, and
so once in, once in a while,like you need to turn those off.
Scott Woolley (39:29):
You need to just ignore.
Kim Alexis (39:31):
No, I respond, and so I did one with absolutely no
makeup on natural light, nofilters.
I mean, people accuse me ofusing filters.
I'm like I'm not using filters.
This is just I don't know howto use a filter.
Oops, the cat, just cat, justwalked off the couch.
Tiffany Woolley (39:46):
I love that.
Kim Alexis (39:48):
She's so cute.
Her food is right behind mycamera here.
Scott Woolley (39:53):
So funny, but do you enjoy that?
The whole social media process?
Kim Alexis (39:59):
I do and what's interesting.
I'm not sure what drives me.
I feel I just me.
I feel I just I just want toexpress who I am and what's on
my heart, but that it helpsother people or that they're
encouraged or inspired.
I don't like the ones that areirked.
Scott Woolley (40:22):
You need to just ignore those people, because the
stuff you're putting out isvery good those people because
the stuff you're putting out isvery good.
Kim Alexis (40:32):
Oh well, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, but I do it.
I believe that when you readpeople's intentions of why they
do what they do like being onthis podcast, it's it's not for
me to make myself better, it'sto help other people and inspire
other people and help.
I've been through so much andI've learned so much that, yeah,
(40:53):
it's my responsibility.
I mean, I'm a very big believer.
To much is given, much isrequired.
I say that all the time, and soI'm giving back and paying
forward of what I've learned andmaybe it can inspire other
people, but I don't do it formonetary gain.
It can inspire other people,but I don't do it for monetary
gain.
I do it just because it's on mymind and in my heart and I spit
(41:14):
it out, do you?
Scott Woolley (41:14):
but I don't think it comes across in any way like
that is a monetary gainwhatsoever now you're coming,
you come across very naturallyand I have to say that Shea
Holmes should be extremely happythat they have you as an
ambassador.
Kim Alexis (41:27):
They are they are, and they're I mean every single
person I've met that works atthose company the company itself
either, whether it's Shea orBlue Star, which handles their
clubs and their golf clubs suchnice people, I mean just kind,
nice, caring people, and it's sogreat to work in that
(41:48):
environment and to be respectedfor what I do and just to be
able to contribute and help themembers.
So tomorrow I'm flying to Vegas.
There's an opening of a newclub and so it's fun to just go
see new members who are justsigning their first house deal
and moving into this communityand they don't know what they're
going to expect.
(42:08):
Wow, it's so neat to meet thesepeople and realize that they've
made such a good investment intheir future.
You know that they're withlike-minded people that are kind
and generous and caring, and soit's been wonderful.
Tiffany Woolley (42:25):
And they're embarking on an exciting next
chapter.
Kim Alexis (42:28):
Exactly.
Tiffany Woolley (42:30):
So when you're working on your social media,
for example, do you like have agame plan set out at all or do
you make like okay, you knowlike obviously are you doing
content as the people?
Voice Over (42:43):
say Scheduling, you mean Scheduling and yeah, so.
Kim Alexis (42:48):
I hire people that, um, I I spit out what video.
I do so for me, and there's abunch of stuff rolling around in
my head right now that I wantto spit out and so I get behind
me is our prompter.
So we do have a teleprompter,which I love, and we just got
that um, so I could do longerscripts.
(43:10):
If I'm going to dive into,let's say, magnesium as a
supplement and what does it dofor you, and it might be a three
, four minute long video that Idon't want to memorize by just
yeah talk or memorize and kindof spitting it out.
So, um, we do have promptercapability, but a lot of my
stuff is short and sweet and,again, I'm not there to sell a
(43:33):
product but to just tickle youwith an idea that maybe this
will help your life, or maybeyou should look into this, or
maybe you should avoid cleaningyour house with, you know,
certain toxins, and there's justso much that's out there.
And so, depending on where I'mat in my, if I'm around the
house for a long time and and myhusband's not around, I will
(43:57):
spit out a bunch of videos, adifferent bunch of different
videos, and it's almost likeit's it's stirring up in my, in
my insides, and I have to spitit out, spit it out, you have to
get it out.
Yeah, and so once I spit it out.
So I've done the lighting, I'vedone the script, I've done the
filming.
Tiffany Woolley (44:13):
You might as well do a few more, then I give
it to my people to edit.
Kim Alexis (44:17):
And so they edit and they put it in a file of a
group of different ones, and wespit one out every day.
Tiffany Woolley (44:29):
And do you primarily?
Voice Over (44:30):
stay on Instagram or do you do other, I guess.
Scott Woolley (44:31):
I'm on Instagram, she's on LinkedIn, she's on a
number of different platforms.
Kim Alexis (44:36):
I'm on.
Scott Woolley (44:36):
TikTok, LinkedIn.
Right, so you do.
Tiffany Woolley (44:38):
TikTok.
God bless, that's where my kidsare and I'm like I get stuck in
an old school.
I figure one out and I staythere.
Kim Alexis (44:48):
Well, Tiffany's just an instagram person well, I'm
more visual yeah yeah, well,yeah, and they each have their
own platform and following andyeah, and then trying to keep up
some videos immediately gettons of of comments, and so you
try and stay on top of that andothers are oh, that one didn't
(45:09):
do so well so are you personallyresponding back on all of these
, the content you're putting out?
I do on LinkedIn, facebook andInstagram.
I have someone that does TikTokfor me.
What else do I do?
I guess that's probably it.
Scott Woolley (45:26):
You are very busy , really busy, but they guess
that's probably it.
Tiffany Woolley (45:29):
You are very busy.
Scott Woolley (45:29):
I know really busy.
Tiffany Woolley (45:31):
But they say that's so healthy it is.
They say it's so healthy forour minds to stay active and
stay connected and always belearning.
Yes, it's a huge.
Kim Alexis (45:43):
If I'm not learning, I'm researching or reading an
article.
I you know that's.
What's good for me about emailand newsletters is that you get
ones that are important to youand the research and learning
and wow, I never thought aboutthat Like there's ones on
mouthwash and how the health ofyour teeth affects your gut
(46:06):
health, and I'm like, oh okay.
Tiffany Woolley (46:08):
I know, have you started doing the tongue
scraping?
Kim Alexis (46:12):
No, no, I do the oil pulling, but not the tongue
scraping yeah the pulling.
Tiffany Woolley (46:16):
I haven't done that one yet, but I've heard of
that one.
Kim Alexis (46:19):
I know there's just so many, yeah, yeah.
So tip on that one.
If you're using coconut oil andyou swish your mouth, you can
go from like five minutes to 20minutes, but when you spit it
out, spit it out in the garbage,not in your sink, because
sometimes it can clog the sink.
Tiffany Woolley (46:35):
That's so crazy .
Okay, we got to try that one.
So what's your ultimate messagefor women designing their best
life, especially in a second actor possibly even a third act?
Kim Alexis (46:57):
I'm a big believer in prevention and so
anticipating things, trying tomaintain what you've got.
And I'm a big believer inencouraging, because if you're
despondent, you can have all theinformation in the world, but
you don't have that move to dosomething about it.
And so I love trying to pullpeople into what I'm doing or
what I believe, and encouragingthem along the way.
(47:17):
It's about what's good for them.
It's not about what's good forme, unless it's what I've
learned, and so that kind ofthat mindset of how I deliver I
think is important.
It's not like, oh honey, I'mperfect and this is my perfect
life and you don't have it andyou never will, right?
No, it's more like this is whatI'm learning and maybe this
(47:41):
will help you, and so that'smuch more important to me and
that's the intent behindeverything I do.
So I hope that comes through.
Tiffany Woolley (47:49):
No, I think it's great.
I love how you stay relevantand you know authentic.
Kim Alexis (47:57):
I'm just glad wellness and health is relevant.
Tiffany Woolley (47:59):
Isn't it?
I agree, and it's wonderful forme, even as a mom of young
girls, like they're so aware andyou know so much more.
I mean they never drink soda oreat junk, or I mean they're
very in tune with it, and I'mjust so grateful that they make
(48:20):
healthy choices, our three girlsfollow Tiffany because Tiffany
works out for an hour and a halfevery morning.
Scott Woolley (48:26):
She does her three miles every day and you
know just what we have in ourhouse food-wise they're very
clean.
I do the grocery shopping.
Wow yeah, because before youknew me with you know Five Star,
I had a whole chain of grocerystores.
So I still do the groceryshopping.
(48:46):
But when our girls go with methey're all about dad.
We can't get that.
Don't get that, dad, you can'tget that.
Tiffany Woolley (48:55):
It's all about health they're very in tune,
very aware and that's whatcracks me up about social media,
and they're juicing everymorning before I take them off
to school oh, I love it.
I say they're in a goodalgorithm because whenever
they're getting you know, wekept them off social media as
long as possible, but you knownow that they're in it.
(49:18):
They're definitely in a goodalgorithm because they will
share tips constantly to whatthey're learning and hearing,
and asking questions things thatI truly never even thought of.
Kim Alexis (49:30):
Yeah, I love it, though.
That's what's so cool is thatwe've helped inspire these
younger kids, and some, I think,don't grow up with any junk
food, so they don't need tohealthy substitute.
We kind of grew up with junkfood, not knowing it was junk
food Right and so now we need tofind healthier alternatives,
(49:54):
and so one of the books that Iwrote was called Cheat Eat, and
it's how to take a recipe.
So I love chocolate chipcookies.
Tiffany Woolley (50:03):
You have a cheat for that.
Kim Alexis (50:06):
Yes, well, you can use chickpeas or you can use
different flours.
So, depending on what you'relooking for, whether you're
trying to be flourless, or ifyou're trying to watch your
sugar, or which type of fats youput in your cookies.
Scott Woolley (50:22):
So if you want to watch your sugar, what would
you recommend?
Kim Alexis (50:26):
Monk fruit or there's date sugar yeah, those
don't really raise your yeah,they don't raise your insulin
levels.
So, um, those two are ones.
I use stevia also, but each oneof those you have to watch if
it's super processed and so someof them are processed a little
bit better than others.
The less processed anything isfrom its natural way is better,
(50:50):
so you can have anultra-processed monk fruit.
That would not be good for you.
Maybe it would be better tohave raw cane sugar.
So it gets very in-depth,depending on what you're looking
to accomplish or substitute, orsubstitute.
Some people can't have eggs, soyou can use flax meal or chia
(51:13):
seeds and make eggs orapplesauce for a recipe instead
of eggs.
Tiffany Woolley (51:15):
That's cool.
Actually, chia seeds is a cooloption.
Kim Alexis (51:19):
Yeah, you just mix in a little bowl and mix it with
water and it gets gooey.
Yeah, that's so brilliant.
Tiffany Woolley (51:25):
I didn't even think of something like that.
There is so many tricks now too, and you're right, our girls
really don't think ofsupplementing, they're just
constantly aware.
Scott Woolley (51:36):
Well, our middle girl is completely anything
processed, can't be in the house.
She's like so much aboutnon-process.
Kim Alexis (51:43):
She's your police.
Tiffany Woolley (51:44):
She is, she's an authority on a lot of things.
Kim Alexis (51:49):
What is this doing in the pantry Pretty?
Scott Woolley (51:52):
much.
Tiffany Woolley (51:53):
Pretty much.
Scott Woolley (51:54):
What are you cooking for dinner, dad?
Why can't there?
Tiffany Woolley (51:56):
be a vegetable.
Yeah, we're in the thick of it.
Good, it's so true.
Yeah, and it's neat when theyteach us.
Scott Woolley (52:06):
We like to wrap up our podcast by always asking
one or two questions having todo with design and kind of
things that have come acrossyour life.
Tiffany Woolley (52:15):
Especially with all your travels and your but
one is which is your favoritehotel to visit?
Scott Woolley (52:24):
From a design standpoint.
Tiffany Woolley (52:26):
And design could be a feeling too.
Kim Alexis (52:31):
Interesting.
I don't know the answer to that.
The first thing that comes tomy mind was the Ritz-Carlton in
Moscow which was neat.
But it wasn't that it was somuch a design, it was that it
was like a beautiful safe placein a weird city that I didn't
(52:52):
know much about right, and so itwas like home base.
Tiffany Woolley (52:55):
I'm very much a home body, so I enjoyed what a
cool that's on my bucket list ismoscow yeah, yeah, it's a cool
place to be.
Kim Alexis (53:07):
So what about a restaurant?
Scott Woolley (53:09):
Is there a restaurant that, from a design
standpoint, or you walked in andgo wow, this is unusual, this
is unique, or the food isdesigned.
Kim Alexis (53:20):
Yeah, so we've got such great restaurants in
Scottsdale.

Welcome, yeah, thanks, it's really good to see

Scott Woolley (01:53):
It's been a very long time since I last seen you.
Tiffany Woolley (01:56):
Yes, you and Scott have a history, which is
fun.
Scott Woolley (02:00):
Going back to the late 90s, is it?
Kim Alexis (02:03):
Going back to the late 90s, is it?
Well, we had a show calledParenting in the 90s and then it
hit the 2000s, and then we didParenting and.
Beyond Correct.
Tiffany Woolley (02:13):
That's like right when we did Meet, we did a
lot of episodes of that show.
That was before.
Scott Woolley (02:21):
Scott was a parent.
Yes, yes, and I changed my lifearound after I became a parent.
I only wanted to have threechildren.
I didn't want to have 200 andsome children.
I guess that's good, we soldthat company and now doing
different things.
Tiffany Woolley (02:37):
Yes, we are.
Scott Woolley (02:38):
So I want to jump in with Kim.
Your career started at 17.
Kim Alexis (02:44):
I mean, I was discovered at 17 in my small
little town in Buffalo.
Well, I was from outside of.
Buffalo.
I used to drive into Buffalo togo to modeling school and I got
discovered there at 17.
So I graduated high school at17 and decided when I turned 18
(03:05):
that I would just give it a shotand try modeling for a year and
could always go back to college.
So I was registered at theUniversity of Rhode Island in
the pharmacy program and putthem off for a year, thinking I
was just going to see whattranspired with the modeling.
And I had a cover within fourdays for Italian Bazaar and
(03:28):
things just took off immediately.
I had my first national makeupad within three months and it
was a whirlwind.
Tiffany Woolley (03:36):
That is a whirlwind.
Scott Woolley (03:37):
So did that all start in Buffalo or did you end
up going to?
Kim Alexis (03:41):
New York, by the way , or somewhere else.
I graduated high school andmoved to New York City literally
at 18.
So I started my career in NewYork City.
Scott Woolley (03:53):
But you were, if I remember correctly, a
competitor.
You swam, correct.
Kim Alexis (03:58):
Yes, yeah, I was swimming five and a half hours a
day.
I was number one in New Yorkstate.
I was a butterflyer and abackstroker, so, um, we were
always in the pool.
I mean, my hair was always wet.
I used to show up at themodeling school with wet hair.
Scott Woolley (04:15):
Did you have aspirations of like Olympics or
anything like that?
Swimming wise Cause five hoursa day?
That's a dedication.
Kim Alexis (04:25):
I know.
No, I was kind of happy to benumber one in New York State.
I, I don't know, I don't thinkwe did nationals um, but no, I I
thought that I was going to bea pharmacist, so I was ready to
go to a five-year college to geta degree, and that all changed
it.
Tiffany Woolley (04:44):
It's interesting that, like your life
kind of did come full circle,with your passion now being in
the health and wellness and youwere going to dive into
pharmaceuticals and you were anathlete, so it's kind of like
the modeling was a littlepathway, it was a sidebar.
A sidebar, that's a better wayof explaining it.
Scott Woolley (05:05):
Yeah, a little sidebar, but swimming is very
competitive and, from what Iknow of modeling, modeling is
extremely competitive, correct?
Kim Alexis (05:14):
No, I would say modeling.
To me, modeling was not becauseyou either had the look or
whatever they wanted.
And it was nothing that youcould do.
Your efforts did not create thejob in my opinion so
interesting.
Scott Woolley (05:33):
But as you grew in modeling and you're on over
500 magazine covers, I mean youstayed pretty grounded, you
stayed like.
Kim Alexis (05:44):
Yeah, I just.
I mean, I got knocked off mypeg a couple life and I was one
of those self-reflecting, alwayschecking in with myself to see
(06:11):
where I could improve or change,and so I was willing to make
changes because I enjoyed beinghumble.
Oh, that's amazing.
And I'm a Christian.
So I feel like my job is toserve others Right, and so I
felt more comfortable being downto earth than I did being up in
(06:33):
the clouds.
So I guess that's where Iwanted to end up.
I just want to.
I mean, you can't ever sayyou're humble, because if you
claim you're humble, then you'renot Correct.
But I try my best to help andserve others and put other
people first, and that's justimportant to me.
Tiffany Woolley (06:54):
So what was a highlight of your career at that
time of your life, like, was ita magazine cover, or was it,
you know, traveling abroad, orwhat was the drive or the
highlight?
Kim Alexis (07:08):
I can't say what the drive was, except I I dove into
a business that I never wantedwhich I always feel is a lucky
way of stumbling in when younever wanted it.
You don't have anything to losewell, I think a lot of your
successful models never grew upstudying fashion and um thinking
(07:34):
about modeling or thinkingabout makeup.
We were always doing otherthings, and so it was just an
opportunity to see what wouldcome of it, and it became a
challenge in a way, I guess, tosee what was out there and when
things keep getting handed toyou.
(07:55):
I was being offered 14 jobs aday.
And so I could pick and choose.
It's hard to walk away fromthat, so I spent probably five
years hard working, workingevery day.
I mean I've got boxes and boxesof tear sheets where you can
imagine one of the fewbusinesses where you can
(08:17):
physically and visually see whatyou did and so you can tell
that I was just always working,because I have literally like
five boxes banker boxes filledwith tear sheets.
Scott Woolley (08:31):
So is there a moment in your career at that
time that kind of stands out?
Like you know, you're SportsIllustrated.
You were in it numerous times,yeah.
Kim Alexis (08:43):
Yeah, sports Illustrated was more up my alley
.
Number one I was athletic.
Number two I grew up swimming,so to me, being in a swimsuit
was very natural right so funny,so yeah that was pretty easy
for me.
Uh, the hard parts was the highfashion which I had not grown up
with and didn't reallyunderstand, so I spent a lot of
(09:06):
time just being quiet andlistening to all the experts and
I was around the top experts inphotography I mean, the best
photographers in the world andthe best hair and the best
makeup people in the world andback then everyone stayed in
their lane.
So if you were a hairdresser,you only did hair, you did hair.
If you were a assistant to aphotographer, you were into
(09:28):
lighting or you were into thesound.
If it was for video, everybodyhad their own lane.
Voice Over (09:33):
Now, of course, we all have to write our own
scripts and light it.
Kim Alexis (09:38):
I mean, I've got my own light here.
You get to be an expert in allthese other aspects and I fought
it for a long time.
Like I'm not doing that,everybody should come to me and
I'll just do this one thing.
Good, and back in the day youknow how older people are like.
Back in the day we did thingsthis way, right?
Tiffany Woolley (09:59):
Yeah.
Kim Alexis (09:59):
Well, times change and you better change with them
or you're going to be left inthe dust times change and you
better change with them oryou're going to be left in the
dust.
Tiffany Woolley (10:07):
So when did things start to change where you
were like, well, let me stepaway a little bit at all, or did
you feel like you kind ofalways stayed in the in the
modeling realm for?
Kim Alexis (10:16):
No, so I think probably things changed when I
got a contract, so I was theultimate two girl.
I replaced Lauren Hutton, okay.
Tiffany Woolley (10:27):
Yeah, yeah.
Kim Alexis (10:29):
It was Revlon, so I was paid to be exclusive and to
not work in other modeling jobs.
They wanted me exclusive, sothat contract lasted three years
.
When that ended, I couldn't gobackwards.
Three years when that ended, Icouldn't go backwards.
So my name had my face, facialrecognition, my name.
(10:49):
Everything had changed and backin the 70s and 80s we weren't
really thinking of brands likemy name wasn't a brand, and so I
naturally had protected thatwithout knowing I was protecting
it.
And so now I was a name,household name and a brand and I
couldn't go back and do thosecatalogs the other girls were
(11:11):
doing.
So I had to figure out otherways to have a career and make
money and so I went intobroadcasting.
I became the fashioncorrespondent on Good Morning
America for three years and so Ilearned that craft and then
went off to do hosting differentcable shows back in the day
when cable was a big thing.
And you're redesigning your lifein this process and then worked
(11:34):
with Scott, which is reallyamazing because you didn't
realize it at the time.
Tiffany Woolley (11:40):
But I mean, we talk about this on the podcast a
lot, how we all are our ownbrand and you were kind of ahead
of the curve curating that.
It's so interesting that youwere able to push yourself to
join all these other platforms.
Kim Alexis (11:57):
Well, and I think another thing to think about is
that there are a lot ofbeautiful girls out there.
I guess you'd say girls versuswomen, but to have the business
sense, to be able to get to acertain point, modeling is a
whole other thing to have thatmindset.
So it's a whole package.
It's not just the physicallooks, it is how you conduct
(12:20):
your life, and some of thesegirls would throw things away
and and um not show up on timeand um not be good to clients.
Paint their brand, yeah, andfor some I mean it kind of was
okay with the bad girl image,but uh, not for longevity.
Tiffany Woolley (12:41):
yeah, yeah't last For the long world it's not
.
That's unbelievable.
So, as a brand ambassador forRevlon, what do you think you
know was the that you learnedthe most from that experience?
Kim Alexis (12:58):
Well, I got to work with my mother a lot.
So there was a one product theyhad called ProCollagen and it
was three generations.
So my mom got to work with me.
Tiffany Woolley (13:08):
Oh, that's so.
What a wonderful like tidbit.
Kim Alexis (13:12):
Yeah, that was wonderful, and my grandmother
did not want to be in it, so wefound a woman and called her
Aunt Nancy.
That's so funny, yeah, but itwas.
That was in itself wonderful,and my mom had never modeled
before and at the time she wasprobably about 45.
I was in my 20s like early 20s,so she was probably about 45
(13:36):
and started at the top and she'slike, oh, this is so much fun,
it's wonderful, and I'm like Mom, you started at the top so for
her.
Once my contract ended, herskind of came to a screeching
halt also.
But that was a fun time to beable to work with her and help
her see my world from the groundfloor, you know.
Scott Woolley (13:58):
So it was neat what was your experience, you
know, with the show on HBO thatabout face.
Kim Alexis (14:07):
Yes, yeah, that was fun number one.
It was like a reunion to be withall the other models right um,
because a lot of times when weworked we would work alone, so
you were on set with hair,makeup and everyone else, but it
wasn't like you were with a lotof your other top girls, so to
(14:27):
be able to be in a room and talkwith them and then have an
interview, and we all did superlong interviews and then they
just took bits and pieces fromeach one of us.
Long interviews and then theyjust took bits and pieces from
each one of us.
But yeah, it was.
Uh, it was really fun to catchup with the girls that we had
seen off and on here and thereand and just get to hang out for
(14:48):
the day that's interesting,that you know.
Scott Woolley (14:50):
I think most people think that all of you
were together all the time onthese different shoes and stuff,
but I guess, not Even theSports Illustrated swimsuits.
Kim Alexis (15:01):
They would overlap if they needed a double shot of
two girls, but each girl gottheir own like five days of
working by themselves, andsometimes then someone else
would fly in and someone elsewould be flying out, and so
you'd get to do like I've donedoubles with Paulina and also
Kelly Enberg, and so each one ofus had our own time versus
(15:26):
standing there it's hard,because if you're sitting around
watching someone else work.
It's like, okay, why am I here?
So their time best used wasusing each one of us all day for
a couple of days and thenrotating out.
Tiffany Woolley (15:40):
Do you stay in touch with any of those girls or
even, like you said, the peoplethat were you were really with
the most, like the photographersand the makeup and hair?
Kim Alexis (15:51):
Yes, well, social media makes it easy to stay in
touch that way.
But I have certain girlfriendsthat were models and we, if I'm
going to New York, I'll staywith Carol Alter, nancy Donahue
and I just saw Kelly Enberg.
She comes to Scottsdale.
One of her other friends washere having a birthday so we got
to hang out together and it'sjust one, it's like a sister and
(16:15):
they understand aspects of thebusiness that other people don't
, and so it's that insider.
Oh yeah, I know how that feels,type thing.
Scott Woolley (16:25):
So you just mentioned social media, which we
see you quite a bit on.
We follow you on it, oh good.
Again, you've redesigned yourlife and you're so involved in
health and wellness and you know, tell us more about that,
because it's a great subjectmatter, and I just think the
things you're doing are great aswell.
(16:45):
I mean just it's.
Kim Alexis (16:47):
So for me, I think, with the pharmacy interest, in
my background.
I was very interested in causeand effect.
What we do here affects whatwe're like here, and that
includes health and wellness.
And so I started diving intoproducts and because I came from
(17:10):
marketing, where you market aproduct of what it will do for
you, I I wanted to.
I just had this naturalcuriosity of, okay, well, maybe
it makes my skin smoother ormaybe it makes my life better or
maybe it smells better, butwhat is that doing to my health?
So not the marketing aspect ofhow it helps you or makes your
(17:33):
life easier or more beautiful orwhatever it is, but what?
How does that affect youhealth-wise?
And so that's where I starteddiving in social media and I
remember my first filming andI'd hired a PR, a local PR
company here in Scottsdale.
Voice Over (17:50):
And.
Kim Alexis (17:51):
I thought, you know, because I'd had so much
background with Good MorningAmerica, that it would be easy,
easy.
But it's a different format andso I had to write my own
scripts and they helped lightand they helped shoot the video
and stuff.
But for me it was oh, now, allof a sudden I've got the
(18:12):
research and I have a platformand I'm responsible for what I
say, and nobody else.
I didn't have to run it byanybody, and so it's a whole
different way of filming andbeing out there.
And I tell you, most of thetime I love listening to the
(18:32):
feedback from people, butsometimes there are some really
mean people out there, really.
Tiffany Woolley (18:39):
I know, and that's where your mindset has to
stay, above all of that.
Kim Alexis (18:44):
Well, I try and answer everybody, but some of
their comments don't reallydeserve an answer.
Tiffany Woolley (18:51):
An answer yeah, they're very accusatory.
Kim Alexis (18:53):
For the most part, though, most of my 99% of the
people who interact with me onsocial media are wonderful and
kind and supportive and lovingand respectful, but there's once
in a while where you get theseweird crude.
It's like what are you talking?
Tiffany Woolley (19:10):
about.
Well, that's kind of everywherein life, you know, and it
becomes part of the, you know.
Kim Alexis (19:16):
Staying away from those types of people everywhere
, in every aspect, yeah, so, asyou dove into this, you know,
new life of national wellnessambassador with Trilogy yes, so
I work with Trilogy by SheaHomes and they've got
communities around the countryand they're active adult
(19:36):
communities and they wanted todeliver a message to their
members of health and wellnessand so they've got different
people they work with, but theyhired me to come on and deliver
that health and wellness message.
So I do things from curatingmenu items at their local clubs,
their restaurants, to fitnessvideos, and I write articles
(20:02):
every week on different parts ofwellness or highlighting
something that's important, andmonthly videos also on their
newsletter.
Tiffany Woolley (20:11):
So what does that design process look like
for you?
Do they give you input, like wewould like you to you know,
center around this this week orhighlight this this month, or is
it something that you, if I'mwriting, articles.
Kim Alexis (20:24):
yes, each month has a theme nationwide, and so we
will write on things that dealwith the theme of the month.
Scott Woolley (20:35):
So you're writing menus, menus, so you're writing
.
Kim Alexis (20:38):
No, no, no.
I write articles on some pointof wellness or fitness, or we've
just gotten a new app and gymequipment and ways to monitor
your natural age, and so it'strying to educate the members on
.
Use this app and you'll getexercises you can do at home or
(21:02):
different ways to be able to mapthe progress and age that you
currently are.
Tiffany Woolley (21:08):
So it's pretty neat.
That is very interesting.
How does the app like?
Are you on the app yourself solike, are you actually taking
advantage of some of the sametechnology?
Kim Alexis (21:20):
I take advantage of it, but they don't have me on
the app.
It's techno gym, and so Ibelieve that they already are
established with other peopleand I'm not leading a class or
something on their app yet,although I am studying to be a
certified fitness instructor.
I saw that too.
Tiffany Woolley (21:39):
So what fitness are you like kind of honing in
on?
I know like so much, Well soit's.
Kim Alexis (21:45):
It would be a group class and that could be anything
from, and I'm not a dancer, soyou're not going to see me doing
Zumba?
I think it would to me.
I like strength training andcircuit training.
So it would probably be more ofthat, but I just felt it was
important to get thecertification so that others
feel comfortable.
(22:05):
Sometimes certain states don'trequire any certification for an
instructor, which is veryinteresting.
Scott Woolley (22:14):
So do you plan on being an instructor and
teaching and training?
Kim Alexis (22:19):
That's not my number one priority no.
I've got a lot of irons in thefire.
I'm also a real estate agent,so I took the whole real estate
course and got licensed justbecause I'm working with
builders.
So Shea Homes is a nationalbuilder and I wanted to
understand the whole process ofbuying and selling homes.
Yeah.
Tiffany Woolley (22:40):
So are they based in Arizona Shea Homes or
are they everywhere?
Kim Alexis (22:45):
They're everywhere.
The original Shea Brothers areout of California but we have an
office that's six minutes frommy house here in Scottsdale and
so I go there quite a bit.
I was on a live podcast withthem yesterday talking about
where I came from and how I gotto where I was in the wellness
industry.
So we did that and we are justconstantly developing.
(23:09):
This is a.
In a way, it's a whole new areafor someone of my expertise, um
area for someone of myexpertise, um number one.
there's not many supermodelsthat focus solely on longevity
and fitness and wellness.
They don't have my fitnessbackground.
I I always struggled inmodeling because I was a little
(23:31):
bit bigger and more muscularthan the other girls and
sometimes that doesn't fit.
The clothes didn't fit so well,so I tried to prove that I was
an athlete and I ran eightmarathons.
Tiffany Woolley (23:41):
Amazing, amazing, and it looks like
you're keeping that up, thatathletic background, right.
Kim Alexis (23:49):
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, fitness is important,wellness was important and it's
so.
Some of the other girls are off.
I have one of my girlfriends isin real estate and I have
another one who's doing what youdo, tiffany, which is interior
design, and so we all had ourdifferent passions, and so it's
nice to see us growing up andmaturing.
Tiffany Woolley (24:10):
It really is, and continually learning too.
Yes, I feel like that is suchan important part of growing in
our life is to continue to trynew things, challenge ourselves
and learn Well and I never wentto college and.
Kim Alexis (24:27):
I loved school, so I am now making up for lost time.
I'm also halfway through aministry degree, so to me I've
been a.
Tiffany Woolley (24:36):
Bible study leader.
Kim Alexis (24:38):
Yeah, so I just enjoy that aspect and I'd like
to have that also.
Tiffany Woolley (24:44):
How special actually.
So with this shake because it'sfunny I was telling Scott last
night I'm so I'm going to diveeven more into that because I
feel like kind of the golfcommunity thing was a time in
the world and now people aremoving into these wellness
communities and I've had a lotof clients relocating or empty
(25:06):
nesters moving.
You know to retirement.
They're young, they're like intheir mid-50s.
You know they had and they arechoosing to go to these
communities.
You know that are centeredaround health and wellness.
You know the interaction withother people coming.
You know whether it be a newmarriage.
(25:26):
It's really like kind of afresh start.
Scott Woolley (25:29):
Yeah, in this area, the company that does it
has a lot of these communities.
Gl Homes yeah, there's so manyof them.
That has a lot of thesecommunities.
Gl Homes there's so many ofthem.
There's five houses right nowthat we're doing that are in
these GL Home communities.
That are the 50-pluscommunities where people are
leaving where they've lived,moving here, buying one of these
(25:51):
houses and Tiffany's renovatingthe whole house because it's
probably 15 or 20 years old.
But when the clients are comingin here, it's all about health,
wellness and pickleball.
Tiffany Woolley (26:03):
Yeah, pickleball's a big one.
Voice Over (26:06):
I know.
Scott Woolley (26:07):
But about the community and the menu you know
and the food that they'reserving, and that's the
conversation people are alllooking at.
Tiffany Woolley (26:16):
And they're not stopping, they're continuing.
The growth is just going rightup the coast.
Kim Alexis (26:21):
It's like kind of a fascinating niche yeah yeah,
well, it's where I think peopleare understanding the value of a
healthy, active lifestyle andsocially interconnected with
each other, and thesecommunities are, if they're done
correctly, offer so much thatyou may be in that last chapter
(26:44):
of your life we don't know howlong we're going to live but you
want to do it well and you wantto feel good, and so keeping
with other like-minded people ina community is a neat thing it
really is special, yeah thesepeople I mean, they are the, the
ones at the shea trilogies arejust such great people and
(27:06):
they've had such great lives andas
you talked about everybody's gotthis great history, yep, but
they all want the same thingthey want to feel good as
they're older, they want tocelebrate life, they want to
celebrate each other and get outthere and do different things
and there's so many activitiesand you just feel part of a
community and it's that youdon't have to live alone or live
(27:30):
in the home you had when yourkids were there.
Tiffany Woolley (27:32):
And now they're all gone, so true, which is
such a mindset.
So as, like you know, you're inthis journey of the fitness and
health, what does your dailypersonal routine look like for
health and wellness on mycounter.
Kim Alexis (27:54):
I did a video on that.
I'm like here's what's going onin my kitchen and my counter,
so I've got kombucha tea.
That.
Voice Over (28:01):
I have going.
Kim Alexis (28:02):
I've got my sourdough yeast starter that I
have to keep feeding every day.
Tiffany Woolley (28:07):
And mine is completely nuts.
Kim Alexis (28:10):
It blows up when I open it.
Oh, that's so funny.
So I'm a big person on havinghealthy well things in my pantry
, all around my counter.
My poor husband, he's just gotto deal with all the different
things I've got going on.
I've learned how to make shrubs.
(28:30):
I don't know if you know whatshrubs are no, no.
Scott Woolley (28:33):
What is that?
Kim Alexis (28:34):
so shrubs is taking like a mason jar, okay, adding
herbs, or I mean I have arosemary bush that's crazy in my
backyard and I've got basilgrowing in my and thyme growing
in my garden and so you shovethat in the mason jar.
And then I've got citrus fruit,because we live here in
Scottsdale, so right outside mydoor, and I take citrus fruit
(28:57):
and I crush it up and pour thejuice in there and then throw
the rinds in and then you addred wine, vinegar and sugar so
that it starts to ferment andall those flavors start to make
an essence.
And after a couple days orweeks whatever you want you just
pour out the shrub part, thesticks in the, in the leaves and
(29:19):
things, and you're just leftwith this elixir of a part
vinegary part, essence ofwhatever you just had in there.
So you can add that to.
I don't drink alcohol, but youcan add it to alcohol, or you
can add it to water or seltzerwater, and what does it?
Scott Woolley (29:35):
taste.
What does it taste like?
Is it?
Kim Alexis (29:38):
well it.
I mean I like using my rosemaryand my citrus, so it's got that
bit of essence in it oh, itsounds really cool, so my
counter is I think for me I'm.
I'm always keeping healthyoptions in my pantry so that I'm
one of those last men I'm not areal, real planner.
So dinner sometimes at fouro'clock it's like, hmm, I have
(30:00):
this, I can mix it with this andI can put this and that's
dinner, and so for me I have tobe spontaneous and just have all
my little tools around me sothat I can create when the mood
hits me.
And as far as fitness, I've gotgot a gym.
I love some of the classesbecause, as I said, I'm taking
my own instructor course, so Iwant to see what other people
(30:22):
are doing, but I'm a bigbeliever in just going out and
going for a bike ride for anhour.
I've got a single speed bike.
I don't have a big fancy bikewith all the gears because I
want to work out.
I don't want to be likeefficient and going 25 miles an
hour so I stay on the out.
I don't want to be likeefficient and going 25 miles an
hour on the road.
That scares the heck out of me.
So I stay on the sidewalk andI'm just on my little beach
(30:44):
cruiser and chugging along andprobably burning more calories
than they do.
So that's important to me, justgetting.
I walk my dog every day.
I have to get outside, I haveto be outside.
It's really important and it'seasy here to do in Scottsdale.
Scott Woolley (30:59):
Yeah.
Tiffany Woolley (31:00):
So are you enjoying living in Scottsdale?
Kim Alexis (31:03):
I yes, I love it.
Tiffany Woolley (31:05):
Was it a big change for you, coming from
South Florida?
Well, south Florida, northFlorida.
Kim Alexis (31:11):
Actually, I actually came from New York City, so
I've moved around.
So I met my husband now when Iwas in Boulder, colorado, and
then I moved to New York Cityand then he and I started dating
and I thought I'd rather livehere in Scottsdale than in New
(31:32):
York City.
So he had been established here, and so now I've got
girlfriends and a life and justenjoy being out here.
I do miss my sons, who are backin Florida, so I've got
probably this a lot of travelcoming up, as my first
grandchild is going to be comingin two months.
Tiffany Woolley (31:50):
So do we know if it's a girl or a boy?
It's a little boy, oh I love it.
It's just keeping coming.
I know I said it.
I know a little boy, oh, I loveit, it's just keeping coming.
I know I said it, I know You'lljust have all my grandsons.
Scott Woolley (32:03):
Oh, I don't.
Three sons and a grandson.
Tiffany Woolley (32:04):
Well it was funny because my grandmother
always she wanted like agrandson too and it took like a
lot of them to finally get agrandson.
So I pray you'll get.
I'm sure you will get there,but it's exciting.
Scott Woolley (32:18):
So, with all the things that you're doing and
you've done, you've also writtena number of books.
Yes, anything new on thehorizon.
Kim Alexis (32:29):
No, I kind of slowed down from that.
So for a while I was acontributor a wellness
contributor with Men's Journal,and so I was writing three
articles of 500 words a day forMen's Journal.
Voice Over (32:42):
And so I got a little burned out.
Kim Alexis (32:44):
Writing.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Tiffany Woolley (32:44):
I'm taking a break burned out writing.
Kim Alexis (32:45):
Yeah, that's a lot.
I'm taking a break.
Scott Woolley (32:48):
You mean your career has really it's been kind
of all over the map in terms ofall these very interesting
things and it's nice that it'sall like in the health you know
and wellness and taking care ofyourself and living longevity
and philosophy and faith.
Tiffany Woolley (33:05):
I mean you really touch a lot of facets.
Voice Over (33:08):
Where did your?
Tiffany Woolley (33:09):
faith journeys, you know, come into play and
then you decide to.
Kim Alexis (33:16):
I grew up a Christian and I went to a church
with my mom and my sister.
My dad didn't want to go.
He was a chemical engineer andhe felt that we couldn't prove
God existed, so he was not goingto church.
But I was an elder of my churchat 17.
Before I got discovered andwent to New York City, they
wanted young people's opinions,so I was an elder.
(33:37):
But then I went to New YorkCity and, of course, life
happened in tons of differentsituations and by the time I hit
30, I was struggling in myfirst marriage and I had hired a
young girl who was a Christianand I realized she would live
with me in New York City and shewas helping take care of my two
(33:58):
sons at the time I only had twoand just the way she lived her
life, I'm like I want what youhave.
What is it that you have that?
Tiffany Woolley (34:07):
I don't.
Kim Alexis (34:07):
So it was Jesus in my heart, and so I asked for
that also, and my journey hasjust been wonderful and life
changing.
From that point on, the moreyou study, I think, the more you
learn that it changes yourheart and who you are inside it
really does, and is thatsomething that you spoke about
to your boys as well?
(34:29):
Oh yes.
Oh yes, oh yeah.
I know and I feel like from avery young age one, becoming a
parent.
Tiffany Woolley (34:36):
It's such a great foundation that you know
everything in life is built on.
Yes.
Kim Alexis (34:43):
Yeah, because he made it all.
Tiffany Woolley (34:45):
It's so true In fact, I this year started what
catechism in a year I'm like, Ilistened to so many podcasts I
said let me at least do 20minutes every morning to I'm a
Catholic.
And on day three it was.
It was a whole thing on how,wherever you know there is a
(35:07):
design, it was created by him.
So wherever it was and I waslike, oh, I'm on the right track
.
It was like a good aha momentfor me that you know we were
pushing through on the rightthing, because wherever there is
a thing, it was created anddesigned by someone.
And obviously God created usand this world and this life
(35:30):
that we get to you know, conquerand enjoy.
Kim Alexis (35:34):
Walking my dog.
I'll look at the beautifulflowers and, believe it or not,
Scottsdale, there's tons ofbeautiful flowers.
Even the cactus bloom once ayear, and so I just look at the
intricacy of each differentflower and it's like, wow, so
much work was put into andartistry was put into each
little tiny flower.
Tiffany Woolley (35:53):
It's true, our God is an awesome God.
I mean for the bugs to theflowers, girls, and I say I say
to them all the time when theybring something up, I'm like
it's just our God is really likeeverything was thought out with
such intention, which goes backto design too.
I feel like you know, Exceptmosquitoes and fire ants.
(36:13):
But they all serve a purposetoo.
Kim Alexis (36:16):
I'm going to ask what that purpose.
I'm sure they feed the bats orsomething, but do we have to
have bats?
Tiffany Woolley (36:22):
I know we love to entertain and at our house we
have this one friend who thebugs we like are always outside.
Nobody has any bug situationand every time she comes over
she's got the bugs well is, andthat could be because some does.
Kim Alexis (36:41):
She drink beer no, no like they.
There's a sweet smell thatcomes out if people have a lot
of sugar or something, and ayeasty smell if they drink beer,
and so some people attract waymore bugs than others.
It's true, but then there'sthings you can plant like
rosemary and mint, around thedoorways or your windows,
(37:04):
wherever you feel bugs might becoming in your house, and those
are supposed to deter bugs anddifferent things.
So you know, life itself withplants is pretty interesting too
.
Tiffany Woolley (37:15):
Yes, have you ever done the sprouts?
If you're into the, I lovesprouts that was another thing.
I tried in like 2020, when wewere home a lot.
Scott Woolley (37:26):
Because, yeah.
Kim Alexis (37:28):
Yeah, you have to do that again.
Right, You'll think about itand I was like, oh, I just
thought about it.
I was like, oh, I need to bringthat back out, Throw it in
salads.
Tiffany Woolley (37:36):
Right, and they say the broccoli sprouts is a
good one too, for everything.
Kim Alexis (37:41):
Yeah, broccoli alfalfa.
I love alfalfa.
Scott Woolley (37:45):
So you started your career in front of the
camera, with people takingphotos and being videoed and so
forth, and now you're what Inotice you're at a point in your
life where you're doing so muchof it yourself for social media
and so forth.
So you seem to be extremelyengaged within social media and
(38:06):
promoting and promoting healthand wellness and so forth.
Do you enjoy that process ofyou know, videoing yourself and
getting messages out and soforth?
Kim Alexis (38:17):
Yes.
So I try not to focus too muchon me, but what I can give other
people to help, either inspirethem or help them out.
One thing I won't do iscollaborate, so I don't dilute
my brand by promoting anyproduct for money.
So everything I do is free andI don't get paid by anyone.
(38:40):
I don't believe in that,because if I'm going to promote
something, it's as an ambassador, as an endorser, which I do for
Trilogy by Shea Holmes, so I'mnot interested in these tiny
little.
Oh here, get this littlemascara and then I make $10.
Scott Woolley (38:58):
Right, no, but I have to tell you, because we've
talked about this, the stuffthat you're putting out is
really good.
It's entertaining.
Well, and it's authentic, it'sauthentic, it's, it's
entertaining, it's authentic,it's interesting and you know,
and you say, I think everyonewants to also watch you.
You're a great presenter.
Kim Alexis (39:18):
Oh well, thank you, yeah, and I do it all just by
myself.
Last week I got kind of got alittle irked at a comment, and
so once in, once in a while,like you need to turn those off.
Scott Woolley (39:29):
You need to just ignore.
Kim Alexis (39:31):
No, I respond, and so I did one with absolutely no
makeup on natural light, nofilters.
I mean, people accuse me ofusing filters.
I'm like I'm not using filters.
This is just I don't know howto use a filter.
Oops, the cat, just cat, justwalked off the couch.
Tiffany Woolley (39:46):
I love that.
Kim Alexis (39:48):
She's so cute.
Her food is right behind mycamera here.
Scott Woolley (39:53):
So funny, but do you enjoy that?
The whole social media process?
Kim Alexis (39:59):
I do and what's interesting.
I'm not sure what drives me.
I feel I just me.
I feel I just I just want toexpress who I am and what's on
my heart, but that it helpsother people or that they're
encouraged or inspired.
I don't like the ones that areirked.
Scott Woolley (40:22):
You need to just ignore those people, because the
stuff you're putting out isvery good those people because
the stuff you're putting out isvery good.
Kim Alexis (40:32):
Oh well, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, but I do it.
I believe that when you readpeople's intentions of why they
do what they do like being onthis podcast, it's it's not for
me to make myself better, it'sto help other people and inspire
other people and help.
I've been through so much andI've learned so much that, yeah,
(40:53):
it's my responsibility.
I mean, I'm a very big believer.
To much is given, much isrequired.
I say that all the time, and soI'm giving back and paying
forward of what I've learned andmaybe it can inspire other
people, but I don't do it formonetary gain.
It can inspire other people,but I don't do it for monetary
gain.
I do it just because it's on mymind and in my heart and I spit
(41:14):
it out, do you?
Scott Woolley (41:14):
but I don't think it comes across in any way like
that is a monetary gainwhatsoever now you're coming,
you come across very naturallyand I have to say that Shea
Holmes should be extremely happythat they have you as an
ambassador.
Kim Alexis (41:27):
They are they are, and they're I mean every single
person I've met that works atthose company the company itself
either, whether it's Shea orBlue Star, which handles their
clubs and their golf clubs suchnice people, I mean just kind,
nice, caring people, and it's sogreat to work in that
(41:48):
environment and to be respectedfor what I do and just to be
able to contribute and help themembers.
So tomorrow I'm flying to Vegas.
There's an opening of a newclub and so it's fun to just go
see new members who are justsigning their first house deal
and moving into this communityand they don't know what they're
going to expect.
(42:08):
Wow, it's so neat to meet thesepeople and realize that they've
made such a good investment intheir future.
You know that they're withlike-minded people that are kind
and generous and caring, and soit's been wonderful.
Tiffany Woolley (42:25):
And they're embarking on an exciting next
chapter.
Kim Alexis (42:28):
Exactly.
Tiffany Woolley (42:30):
So when you're working on your social media,
for example, do you like have agame plan set out at all or do
you make like okay, you knowlike obviously are you doing
content as the people?
Voice Over (42:43):
say Scheduling, you mean Scheduling and yeah, so.
Kim Alexis (42:48):
I hire people that, um, I I spit out what video.
I do so for me, and there's abunch of stuff rolling around in
my head right now that I wantto spit out and so I get behind
me is our prompter.
So we do have a teleprompter,which I love, and we just got
that um, so I could do longerscripts.
(43:10):
If I'm going to dive into,let's say, magnesium as a
supplement and what does it dofor you, and it might be a three
, four minute long video that Idon't want to memorize by just
yeah talk or memorize and kindof spitting it out.
So, um, we do have promptercapability, but a lot of my
stuff is short and sweet and,again, I'm not there to sell a
(43:33):
product but to just tickle youwith an idea that maybe this
will help your life, or maybeyou should look into this, or
maybe you should avoid cleaningyour house with, you know,
certain toxins, and there's justso much that's out there.
And so, depending on where I'mat in my, if I'm around the
house for a long time and and myhusband's not around, I will
(43:57):
spit out a bunch of videos, adifferent bunch of different
videos, and it's almost likeit's it's stirring up in my, in
my insides, and I have to spitit out, spit it out, you have to
get it out.
Yeah, and so once I spit it out.
So I've done the lighting, I'vedone the script, I've done the
filming.
Tiffany Woolley (44:13):
You might as well do a few more, then I give
it to my people to edit.
Kim Alexis (44:17):
And so they edit and they put it in a file of a
group of different ones, and wespit one out every day.
Tiffany Woolley (44:29):
And do you primarily?
Voice Over (44:30):
stay on Instagram or do you do other, I guess.
Scott Woolley (44:31):
I'm on Instagram, she's on LinkedIn, she's on a
number of different platforms.
Kim Alexis (44:36):
I'm on.
Scott Woolley (44:36):
TikTok, LinkedIn.
Right, so you do.
Tiffany Woolley (44:38):
TikTok.
God bless, that's where my kidsare and I'm like I get stuck in
an old school.
I figure one out and I staythere.
Kim Alexis (44:48):
Well, Tiffany's just an instagram person well, I'm
more visual yeah yeah, well,yeah, and they each have their
own platform and following andyeah, and then trying to keep up
some videos immediately gettons of of comments, and so you
try and stay on top of that andothers are oh, that one didn't
(45:09):
do so well so are you personallyresponding back on all of these
, the content you're putting out?
I do on LinkedIn, facebook andInstagram.
I have someone that does TikTokfor me.
What else do I do?
I guess that's probably it.
Scott Woolley (45:26):
You are very busy , really busy, but they guess
that's probably it.
Tiffany Woolley (45:29):
You are very busy.
Scott Woolley (45:29):
I know really busy.
Tiffany Woolley (45:31):
But they say that's so healthy it is.
They say it's so healthy forour minds to stay active and
stay connected and always belearning.
Yes, it's a huge.
Kim Alexis (45:43):
If I'm not learning, I'm researching or reading an
article.
I you know that's.
What's good for me about emailand newsletters is that you get
ones that are important to youand the research and learning
and wow, I never thought aboutthat Like there's ones on
mouthwash and how the health ofyour teeth affects your gut
(46:06):
health, and I'm like, oh okay.
Tiffany Woolley (46:08):
I know, have you started doing the tongue
scraping?
Kim Alexis (46:12):
No, no, I do the oil pulling, but not the tongue
scraping yeah the pulling.
Tiffany Woolley (46:16):
I haven't done that one yet, but I've heard of
that one.
Kim Alexis (46:19):
I know there's just so many, yeah, yeah.
So tip on that one.
If you're using coconut oil andyou swish your mouth, you can
go from like five minutes to 20minutes, but when you spit it
out, spit it out in the garbage,not in your sink, because
sometimes it can clog the sink.
Tiffany Woolley (46:35):
That's so crazy .
Okay, we got to try that one.
So what's your ultimate messagefor women designing their best
life, especially in a second actor possibly even a third act?
Kim Alexis (46:57):
I'm a big believer in prevention and so
anticipating things, trying tomaintain what you've got.
And I'm a big believer inencouraging, because if you're
despondent, you can have all theinformation in the world, but
you don't have that move to dosomething about it.
And so I love trying to pullpeople into what I'm doing or
what I believe, and encouragingthem along the way.
(47:17):
It's about what's good for them.
It's not about what's good forme, unless it's what I've
learned, and so that kind ofthat mindset of how I deliver I
think is important.
It's not like, oh honey, I'mperfect and this is my perfect
life and you don't have it andyou never will, right?
No, it's more like this is whatI'm learning and maybe this
(47:41):
will help you, and so that'smuch more important to me and
that's the intent behindeverything I do.
So I hope that comes through.
Tiffany Woolley (47:49):
No, I think it's great.
I love how you stay relevantand you know authentic.
Kim Alexis (47:57):
I'm just glad wellness and health is relevant.
Tiffany Woolley (47:59):
Isn't it?
I agree, and it's wonderful forme, even as a mom of young
girls, like they're so aware andyou know so much more.
I mean they never drink soda oreat junk, or I mean they're
very in tune with it, and I'mjust so grateful that they make
(48:20):
healthy choices, our three girlsfollow Tiffany because Tiffany
works out for an hour and a halfevery morning.
Scott Woolley (48:26):
She does her three miles every day and you
know just what we have in ourhouse food-wise they're very
clean.
I do the grocery shopping.
Wow yeah, because before youknew me with you know Five Star,
I had a whole chain of grocerystores.
So I still do the groceryshopping.
(48:46):
But when our girls go with methey're all about dad.
We can't get that.
Don't get that, dad, you can'tget that.
Tiffany Woolley (48:55):
It's all about health they're very in tune,
very aware and that's whatcracks me up about social media,
and they're juicing everymorning before I take them off
to school oh, I love it.
I say they're in a goodalgorithm because whenever
they're getting you know, wekept them off social media as
long as possible, but you knownow that they're in it.
(49:18):
They're definitely in a goodalgorithm because they will
share tips constantly to whatthey're learning and hearing,
and asking questions things thatI truly never even thought of.
Kim Alexis (49:30):
Yeah, I love it, though.
That's what's so cool is thatwe've helped inspire these
younger kids, and some, I think,don't grow up with any junk
food, so they don't need tohealthy substitute.
We kind of grew up with junkfood, not knowing it was junk
food Right and so now we need tofind healthier alternatives,
(49:54):
and so one of the books that Iwrote was called Cheat Eat, and
it's how to take a recipe.
So I love chocolate chipcookies.
Tiffany Woolley (50:03):
You have a cheat for that.
Kim Alexis (50:06):
Yes, well, you can use chickpeas or you can use
different flours.
So, depending on what you'relooking for, whether you're
trying to be flourless, or ifyou're trying to watch your
sugar, or which type of fats youput in your cookies.
Scott Woolley (50:22):
So if you want to watch your sugar, what would
you recommend?
Kim Alexis (50:26):
Monk fruit or there's date sugar yeah, those
don't really raise your yeah,they don't raise your insulin
levels.
So, um, those two are ones.
I use stevia also, but each oneof those you have to watch if
it's super processed and so someof them are processed a little
bit better than others.
The less processed anything isfrom its natural way is better,
(50:50):
so you can have anultra-processed monk fruit.
That would not be good for you.
Maybe it would be better tohave raw cane sugar.
So it gets very in-depth,depending on what you're looking
to accomplish or substitute, orsubstitute.
Some people can't have eggs, soyou can use flax meal or chia
(51:13):
seeds and make eggs orapplesauce for a recipe instead
of eggs.
Tiffany Woolley (51:15):
That's cool.
Actually, chia seeds is a cooloption.
Kim Alexis (51:19):
Yeah, you just mix in a little bowl and mix it with
water and it gets gooey.
Yeah, that's so brilliant.
Tiffany Woolley (51:25):
I didn't even think of something like that.
There is so many tricks now too, and you're right, our girls
really don't think ofsupplementing, they're just
constantly aware.
Scott Woolley (51:36):
Well, our middle girl is completely anything
processed, can't be in the house.
She's like so much aboutnon-process.
Kim Alexis (51:43):
She's your police.
Tiffany Woolley (51:44):
She is, she's an authority on a lot of things.
Kim Alexis (51:49):
What is this doing in the pantry Pretty?
Scott Woolley (51:52):

one or two questions having todo with design and kind of
