Conversations With Alexis

Hello and welcome to Season 3 of Conversations With Alexis!  It's been a long time coming and I'm so glad today is here! Welcome to Part 1 of a two part season opener.  It's a conversation with me.  Wonder why I took a year off from CWA? Wonder where have I been and what's been going on? Ready to hear a testimony of the goodness and faithfulness of God? Then pull up a chair and let's talk!  I call this a 'Conversational Testimony', because that's what it felt like.  A conversation that is ultimately a testimony.  Join me now!

It’s here.  Season 2 Finale!  You all have rocked with me since Feb. 15th  and many of you way before that since we first started last year.  What an incredible journey.  Purposed, hard work - yet oh so rewarding.  I pray your lives have been touched and changed by the fantastic guests we’ve been blessed to converse with.  Now it’s time to pause, reset, regroup and prepare for next.  Join me today on this episode as I thank you, share my heart with you and give a glimpse of what is to come.  We’re just getting started…oh the places we will continue to go and the fun we will have.  Keep coming on this journey with Conversations With Alexis…I’m telling you, one of these conversations just might change your life!

Time. It’s a God-given gift you wakeup to everyday. 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds. Time is the common ground for us all. Doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, young or old, rich or poor…we all get 24 hours in a day. What will we do with these precious moments afforded to us? I want to have a conversation with you about it, encourage new perspectives and then challenge you to see the beauty and acknowledge the weight of this gift of time.

Join us this week for the conclusion of our conversation with Isaiah & Shannon Freeman on infertility. Last week we paused right where their story was just unfolding. This week you’ll hear how God orchestrated their parenthood story step by step. They stand before you today as parents of twin baby boys and authentically share the journey to there. What I love most about this week’s conversation is the heart to heart message Shannon gives to the women and the words of life Isaiah speaks to the men. Wherever you are on your journey, allow this conversation to encourage you. Welcome it in as wind in your sail to help you keep going…even in the wait.

This is a conversation I’ve wanted to have since Season 1. I have a heart for couples desiring children and partly because I am the answer to a 10 year prayer.  This week I want to encourage those desiring children and currently in the wait to listen in.  Listen individually and as a couple.  Isaiah and Shannon Freeman walk us through their amazing God ordained journey through infertility to parenthood.  They are genuine, authentic and really delve into all aspects of this journey - the good, the bad and the frustrating.  Our conversation was so good and flowed on that we have to break it up into 2 parts.  I promise you this is a conversation you want to hear and that will encourage your heart.  Even if you aren’t dealing with infertility – the wisdom gleaned from them on the process of waiting will bless the lives of all those who are in the wait. 

Join me this week as I have a motivating conversation with Kennard Garrett.  Look in the credits of some of your favorite songs and you just may see his name there.  In our conversation he walks us through his journey from a successful college career to Corporate America to leaping out and writing his heart and living his dreams in the music industry.  Never one to rest on his laurels, even with great musical success he has created another lane in the educational world to share his gifts and inspire the next generation creatively.  I encourage you to listen in and glean from his wisdom, be inspired by his story and stirred to action to live the life exceedingly above what you can even imagine.

Today we are talking about Being Still.  Yes, you read that right.  In a world that tells you to constantly be on the go, I want to remind you to Be Still. There is a propelling push from the mere act of being still and I want to have a conversation with you all about it.  By now you have looked at the episode art and are probably wondering what in the world???  Well you will just have to tune in to find out :0). Missed ya'll...but I'm back...  

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Dr. Eddie Connor. We walk through his overcoming and fascinating journey to now. He shares about the process from moving from broken pieces to walking in peace. The beautiful surprise of our conversation was an enlightening discussion about his latest book “Woman”. He has been blessed to encourage and speak life to men, women and children - yet in today’s conversation we delve into a special portion for the woman. I promise you it’s just a taste of what you will experience when reading his latest book. Hear his heart as he encourages you in your journey to the whole, healthy and best version of yourself. It’s a reminder of just how awesome and treasured we all are and should be treated…starting with ourselves. You owe it to yourself to hear this conversation and walk boldly in the inspiring messages throughout.

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Dr. Tori J. Evans-Barton on The Fatherless Generation.  That’s where we began and ended, but this conversation is filled with revelation on healing, reconciliation, obedience, honor and so much more.  Dr. Torri J. has a beautiful ministry of reconnecting Fatherless Children with their Fathers and it all began with finding her own when she was 31.  She takes us on her personal journey that wasn’t easy, but was purposed and ultimately blessed.  This conversation is for the family…the Fathers, The Mothers and the Children...yes even the grown Children …it covers us all.  Pull up a virtual seat and come right on in to this conversation.  It just may change your life…if you listen and let it. 

Join me this week as I have a conversation on letting it go. We’ve all heard the phrase before whether sincerely or dismissively. But I want you to hear it through new ears this morning. Join me if you will on this topic and I pray we all learn to “Let It Go”.

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Razia Sabour, Chef & Entrepreneur. Prior to our conversation, I knew she was a fabulous Chef with a great spirit and an amazing work ethic. What I didn’t know is that this culinary world she is quickly conquering wasn’t a childhood dream and wasn’t what she planned out – it was all because of a prayer to God for more time with her family. Listen in on her fascinating story of what happens when you pray, believe, leap and obey – the results are astounding. For some, you have the dream all mapped out and that’s wonderful – but for others, you’re an open vessel to the dream God gives. Today’s conversation is for you. This is such a story – this is such a blessing.

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Ronald Jones, Interior Designer & Entrepreneur. What begin as sketches in a book as a child and dreams in his heart has now manifested into touchable, tangible beautiful designs, a successful business and elated clients. At such a young age he has already accomplished alot in the design field, but with an amazing work ethic, faith and family – there is no limit to his dreams come true. Listen in on our candid conversation on his unique journey in this field and I pray it reawakens some of the dreams within you.

In Season 1, one of our highest downloaded shows was one on mental health. This resonated with me and I knew we had to have another conversation about such an important subject. For this week’s episode, I spoke with Psychiatrist Dr. Adam Meadows who joined me for an enlightening conversation on a subject that is often overlooked, but cannot be ignored. I heard him speak with clarity and passion on the subject and knew we needed to have a conversation with him. We cover a gamut of information including warning signs, different types of help available, how to begin the conversation with friends and family and the pre-care of making time for you in this journey of life. Listen in on our conversation that I pray helps change some lives.

Thank you for joining me today for Episode 209, a Conversation with Marshawn Evans Daniels on Believing Bigger. Do you know your purpose? Are you walking in it? Has life served you some interruptions and you need to learn how to embrace them, learn from them and use them? Our conversation flowed from faith, purpose, heartbreak, depression, and of course Believing Bigger – yet so much more in between. This conversation is full and will educate you, challenge you and encourage you on this journey and in your calling. Glean from the wisdom of Marshawn and learn from the vision, book and movement that is Believe Bigger.

Join me this week as I have an honest and candid conversation with Dr. Joe Owens, a Veterinarian, Entrepreneur and Inventor.  Learn more about this competitive field, his advocacy for animals and the amazing journey from a great idea to a patented invention.  If you’re a pet owner like me, I know you’ll be challenged by his honesty. If you have a desire to practice medicine you can glean from his wisdom.  If you have a brilliant idea and need the encouragement to pursue it, listen in.  The gamut of our conversation was enlightening and I’m sure after this conversation you’ll agree Dr. Owens is definitely not your average veterinarian.

Join me this week as we have our monthly one on one conversation. Today we are talking about one of the smallest, yet most powerful parts of our bodies – the mouth/tongue. What a powerful tool we’ve been given – but how are we choosing to use it? In my childhood I have heard the phrase a few times to “watch my mouth”, but I will admit those are valuable words even in adulthood. Join me as we delve into this subject and come out with life application and a new perspective on what’s coming out of your mouth.

Today’s conversation felt like we were on a sofa with some ice tea and we offered you a seat and a glass. Jackie Brewton has a wonderful way of welcoming you in and then empowering your spirit, all while you think you are just having a conversation. I know that’s why teens and their parents treasure the jewel that she is. For over 16 years she has dedicated her life to helping teens make good choices and giving parents a glimpse into the minds of their teens. She has a gift of relevance, a voice that teens glean from and the testimony of speaking into the lives of thousands of youth. Her heart for her purpose shines through and I know you will feel it in this conversation. If you are a parent of a teen, a teenager or you come in contact with teens or simply want to understand them more– this conversation today is for you!

Join me this week as I have a fascinating conversation with Marcus Y. Rosier. I had the pleasure of sitting down face to face with him to discuss his fantastic concept of Winning The Day and I met a man on a mission to change the world – one person at a time.  He has an amazing story of success, lessons learned and more success. What I love about our conversation is he doesn’t just introduce us to a concept, he walks us through a strategy. He’s not content with winning alone, he authentically wants us all to join him on the journey and win at this thing called life. His joy for his life work is infectious, his heart is sincere, his wisdom is overflowing and his life is flourishing.  I left our conversation educated, inspired, challenged and ready to win everyday.  I hope you do the same. Listen well my friends...this conversation could change your life. ***Available on iTunes, GooglePlay and www.ConversationsWithAlexis.com/episodes *** 

Join me this week as I have a conversation with thee fabulous Téja Veal. Téja is a talented bassist, singer and songwriter with a kind spirit and a beautiful soul.  I first met her at a concert where she was playing the bass and the only female in the band. Her smile radiated, yet her hands created “audible beauty” (as her bio says) on bass. We talk openly and candidly about going the road less traveled. The faith it takes, yet the blessings it yields. If you’ve ever had a different dream or gift, I pray this conversation will encourage you to step boldly into that uniqueness, embrace it and see just where the road God has for you leads.
