In this inspiring episode of Selective Hearing, Julie Dammar interviews speaker, bestselling author, and life coach Alex Dumas about the transformative power of asking the right questions.
Alex shares how his life coaching journey began with a simple yet profound curiosity—learning to ask questions that unlock truth, clarity, and self-discovery. He opens up about "ancestral expectations"—the generational beliefs and roles we inherit—and how breaking free from these can reveal our most authentic selves.
From his powerful chapter in A Journey of Riches: The Power of Self-Discovery, to his reflections as a husband, father, and dog dad, Alex offers heartfelt insights into vulnerability, authenticity, and the importance of genuinely listening—not just to others, but to ourselves.
If you've ever struggled with expressing your truth or felt confined by the roles you've been expected to play, this episode is for you.
