In this inspiring and candid episode, we sit down with Alicia McCarvell, content creator, storyteller, and with over 7 million followers across a variety of platforms, our first celebrity guest!
This episode is packed with humour, heart, and practical wisdom about showing up as yourself, setting boundaries, and finding strength in your relationships — both online and in real life.
We chat with Alicia about a variety of topics including:
✨ Imposter Syndrome: How it tends to hit when she’s stepping into something new and exciting - a signal that she’s in the right space, pushing herself to grow.
✨ The Power of Sharing: How her content opens up important conversations, especially about healing relationships between mothers and daughters across generations.
✨ Humour, Love & Partnership: Alicia shares the role her husband, Scott, plays not just in her life but in her content. Their relatable and light-hearted dynamic resonates deeply with her audience, showing what it means to be true partners in every sense - and sharing plenty of laughs along the way.
✨ Dealing with Negativity: As a recovering people-pleaser, Alicia discusses how she navigates online abuse, sets boundaries, and protects her mental health.
✨ Your Two Cents Podcast: Alicia’s podcast creates space for open, honest conversations about money, finances, and how we can break the stigma around talking about it.
✨ Support Systems & Hooray Folders: The importance of celebrating wins - big and small - and surrounding yourself with people who lift you up.
Whether she’s navigating self-doubt or leaning into life’s funnier moments, Alicia’s ability to stay grounded while reaching millions is truly inspiring.
