Her Interview
Ten minutes with Alexia
01What do you attribute your success to?
My resilience. I overcame a lot of things in my life. The first has been building my confidence and trusting myself enough to recognize that I really do have skills that can help businesses and learn to trust the results that I've been able to create for people. The second would be enforcing boundaries.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Just start. Put yourself out there, you're gonna get a couple of bruises, you're gonna face obstacles, but you're also gonna learn how to maneuver through them. Be okay with making mistakes. Be okay with not getting everything right the first time. You don't have to know everything before you begin. It's okay to give yourself grace. It's okay to pat yourself on the back.
