Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexandra Robles.
Hi Alexandra, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
There was a day in January of 2020 where I stood in the hallway of the 1 bedroom apartment I shared with my (then) boyfriend (now husband), & I looked at myself in the mirror & said, “something’s gotta change.”
I’d finally graduated with my degree that December before, after seven years of back & forth-ness, but it occurred to me that as thoughtful as my planned seemed to be when it came time to piece it all together it was like I didn’t know where to start.
I was frustrated about where I was, who I felt I was becoming, & I had a million questions that I felt would go unanswered until I found them myself. So I started exactly that.
That January, I decided I’d had enough. I wanted more. I wasn’t done learning (still not). I started to spend time with myself every day. Sometimes it looked like coffee on the patio others, it was during my morning sweep of my home, but I allowed ‘myself’ the time to really tune into ‘myself’ & my billions of thoughts. I started to learn what I liked/didn’t, what I craved, what I wanted, I learned allllll of my triggers, & I even learned what to do when I feel triggered. I became so curious of where the billions of thoughts in my head were coming from.
Inner work. From inner-child to breathing, intention setting, and gratitude writing.
I searched for every resource that sparked, even the tiniest light within & I soaked up as much material as I could. I developed practices, which I teach today, on how to “zone in”. It’s a whole new meaning that phrase has to me now.
I found that a lot of what I was reading & listening to needed to really be studied, broken down, almost translated. I realized how much of us may be discouraged or intimidated by a certain lifestyle or practice because it’s taught by those who seem like “pros.” I decided that I would be the middle-gal. The ice breaker.
I have thrived to create easily accessible resources & practices to learn that are readily available when you need them because most of these are practiced from within. Like prayer.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Imposter syndrome!!!!
Very early on, & even now, there’s that little voice in my head that’ll get as loud as I let it be – but I learned that it’ll ONLY get as loud as “I” let it be.
It’s that voice that keeps us from trying new things, that voice that yells “what if” before it describes some kind of negative scenario that could happen, but when you confront it you realize it’s also likely that it couldn’t. The same voice will convince you that you aren’t the things you know you are/can be.
The biggest struggle has been quieting that voice & separating that voice from my true voice.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m most known for my writing & my talking. I have been known to talk for hours & at this current time, I have about 12 journals that I actively write in.
What sets me apart is how curious & passion-forward I am. I am intrigued in a wide range of things, people, places, music, food, art, alllll the things.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Hmm, luck… a part of me wants to send “luck” off to a family reunion with its cousin “coincidence” (lol).
In my opinion, I don’t think it’s been a matter of luck, more so a matter of diving deeper & deeper into my “mission” or “assignment”. This is my calling. I made the decision to listen to the voice in my head & which voice to listen to. I have practiced the lifestyle that can either work in my favor or not, & the true power is applying the practices that open more doors than closes them, the power is choosing to work.
