In this powerful and heart-opening episode of the Sober Yoga Girl Podcast, Alexandra sits down with yoga teacher, spiritual psychology coach, and sober traveler Lexie Polk to explore what it truly means to build a life you don’t need to escape from.
From getting sober abroad in South Korea in 2021, to creating a daily devotional practice rooted in yoga, meditation, and spiritual study, Lexie shares how sobriety became the doorway to freedom, devotion, and deep self-trust.
