This week on The 20 Something Playbook we're joined by actor and dancer Alexandra Chaves, best known for her role as Piper on The Next Step.
In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Alex opens up about what it's really like to chase big dreams in your 20s while living with a chronic illness. Diagnosed with colitis as a teen, she shares how she's learned to manage her health while continuing to show up fully for her passions.
From setbacks to breakthroughs, this episode is packed with insight, resilience, and inspiration. It's a powerful reminder that we're all navigating something beyond our control (especially in our 20s) and the real growth comes when we learn to embrace the full journey, even when it takes us far outside our comfort zone.
