Her mission is to help people overcome self-imposed limitations that prevent many from realizing their goals, finding peace of mind, and acquiring prosperity. By sharing her own journey, Alexandra’s goal is to inspire others to turn away from various forms of fear and self-doubt and go after their dreams instead of leading lives subdued to conventional ways of thinking that have long been proven outdated, inadequate, and damaging to a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence. In this episode, Alexandra discusses overcoming a life-time of self-doubt to build self-confidence from the health, spirituality, career, finances, and relationships perspective. She shows us ways we can put our lives in order by learning about the five essential pillars of life.
