Conversations With Alexis

As your run your race in a world full of distractions, there comes a time when you have to pull out your Blinders.  Let's have a conversation about it today.  What are they, how do we use them and how can they help us?

There is a scripture in 2 Timothy that speaks of stirring up the gifts that are within you.  When I think of that scripture I think of Melissa D.  She is known as “The Activator” because her life’s purpose is to help people get activated.  My prayer is that something she shares in our conversation would flow through the airwaves and arrest us all from dormancy. It’s time for activation!

Welcome back!  I have missed you guys and I'm excited about Season 2 of CWA.  Just want to chat with you about it and tell you what's in store.

Join me today for our Season 1 Finale.  We have been together since April 2017 and it has been an amazing ride for me.  I have enjoyed bringing you a cornucopia of great guests for good conversations.  This is our Season 1 Finale and I want to have a conversation with you all about it.

Welcome back to Conversations with Alexis.  This episode is a little different.  It's my conversation with God about YOU.  Yes you my friend.  Each week I try to bring you conversations that will uplift and inspire you.  This week I was led to have a conversation with THEE GREATEST about you.  No lesson, no 3 points...just prayer.  Would you join me?

Happy Thursday! Welcome back to Conversations with Alexis. This week’s guest is a gifted artist who I believe is a real life example of Proverbs 18:16. Her life is a witness that your gifts will indeed make room for you and bring you before great men. I’ve known Natalie since college days at UGA, but I’ve watched God take her from a dorm room to countries all over this world. Listen in as we discuss her journey and be encouraged with what can happen when you truly yield your gifts to God.

This week I am thrilled to share this conversation with you.  Aileen was a gift from God to me as I started this Podcast.  Her videos helped guide me in the Podcast world and as I watched more and more I learned about so much more...even beyond podcasting.  She has done so much at an early age and she is just getting started.  As she pursues her dreams she uses her blog, podcast and youtube channel to encourage you to do the same and walks with you on the journey.  I knew she had a brilliant mind, but after this conversation I learned it was housed in a kind soul.  Join me for this conversation and pick back up the paintbrush as an artist of life.

Welcome back for Episode 020 | A Conversation On Waiting. We have all had to experience the process of waiting before.  Some may in the wait at this very moment.  I don't know what you're waiting on, but I want to encourage you in the wait.  I want you to know it's not in vain and after a while - yields amazing blessings if you just endure.  Waiting is not easy, but at times necessary - let's have a conversation about it!

Today’s show was a personal blessing for me. I have been an admirer of Diann’s creative and bold work as a fabulous designer and planer extraordinaire for many years. Yet when I had this opportunity to have a conversation with the woman behind it all – I became even more appreciative of her remarkable, yet down home and authentic spirit. To go from holding her books in my hand that helped spark my own creativity to conversing with her - blessed my life. As a successful entrepreneur with experience in numerous fields she is a business maven and in this conversation she drops wisdom for anyone who dares to dream out of the box. Her life is a story on the art of living well and it’s still being written. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Join me today for a conversation with Breakthrough Strategist, Lakeisha Dixon.  I was inspired by her life story thus far and wanted to invite her to share.  She has overcome things in life that may have caused some to breakdown, but through God she was able to breakthrough.  She now lives a life calling of helping others breakthrough as well.  Join me now for this conversation.

This week on Episode 17 we are going to delve into a subject that we often brush over and don’t really address. This small 4 letter word paralyzes some, yet propels others. God didn’t give it to us, so let’s talk about what to do with it and how to move beyond it. You'll notice Minister Saunders and I start and end with the topic of fear, but we were led to some full and rich discussions about the journey around it ,through it and beyond it. The more we talked the more I was challenged with how I dealt with fear, convicted for how I let fear stop certain things, and compelled to keep going and do it afraid…whatever it is. Join us for this conversation that I pray just may change your life.

In the corporate world there is a C-Suite, which consists of the top leaders and executives in a company. It’s a journey many dream of and few are fortunate to take. For our episode this week, I sat down with President & CEO, Kofi Smith and had an inspiring conversation on his uniquely blessed journey to the C-Suite. As the youngest CEO of his company he walks us through the path that lead to this moment. He shares from a transparent place and with an authenticity that is rare. His original dream laid the groundwork and developed him for this purposed career path and calling of leadership. Whatever your dream may be, if you want to be encouraged, challenged and gain new life perspectives ~I encourage you to listen in.

Welcome back to Conversations With Alexis!  It's the end of the month and time for our one on one conversation - just you and me.  This week let's talk about the seeds within you.  God has planted some pretty amazing things in you my friend.  They may excite you or even overwhelm you - but what are you doing with them? What good is a seed if you never sow it?  How can it produce a harvest if that seed just stays within you?  Let's talk about it today and hopefully this conversation will speak to and encourage the seeds within you.  

Join me and my guest this week Juliette Bush as we delve into the subject of faith.  I'm a firm believer that we are all given a measure of faith and that faith requires action.  One night I was led to an excerpt from her book {Brave By Faith} that challenged me in my faith and prompted me to action.  Her journey is a unique one and all her own - 3 continents lived, 36 countries traveled and 1 calling.  But it is my heart's prayer that after this week's episode you and I look at our lives and ask ourselves what have we done with our faith lately?  Where has it led us?  What will it allow us to do for the glory of God? I'm inspired to do more.  Join me for this conversation - I hope it changes your faith journey for the better!

Welcome to Part 2 of Episode 013 of Conversations With Alexis.  This is the final portion of our 2-part episode.  Last week Carletta walked us through the journey of finding out she had breast cancer and the fight of her life to overcome it.  This week we find out how her life changed forever after her healing.  We will learn about her "new normal" and how going through this journey gave her a new lease on life.  No longer was she a survivor only - she now became a thriver.  Join me for this conversation that just may change your life and encourage you in your fight!

Welcome to Part 1 of Episode 013 of Conversations With Alexis.  This is the first 2-part episode for us.  When I sat down for this conversation with Carletta I had no idea where exactly we would go.  I learned so much about her and the battle she fought and the victory she won.  She gives us real and transparent information about fighting and winning and living beyond.  I encourage any and everyone who knows someone who has fought the battle against cancer to listen in.  Learn how to support, learn about the challenges they face and learn how to help others currently fighting. Part 1 walks us through her journey, but you have to come back next week for Part 2 where you hear about her life after surviving to thriving!  I believe everyone who faces this fight against cancer wins.  Some win through the open door to eternal life and others win to fight another day here on earth.  Every fighter gets a victory.  Join me for a conversation about this fight.

Dreams!  We all have them.  What we do with them varies.  For some they keep us going, a constant goal worth trying to attain.  For others they overwhelm us and we wonder how, me, really?  I don't know how you are feeling about your dreams lately but I want to have a conversation with you about them.  I want you to dream again and then wake up and live them. Join me for a conversation on dreams that just may reignite yours!

Join me this week for my first international conversation on the Podcast.  Through modern technology, Atlanta, GA and Vienna, Austria, merged for one interesting conversation with International Opera Singer - Kristin Lewis.  I've always been fascinated by the Opera and voices that carry a unique and God-given range so it was a treat to learn more about the opera world.  Listen in as we converse about her international journey as an African-American Opera Singer, when your career is your calling, the joy and responsibility of sowing into others, and living your dreams...even in another country.

Join me for an interesting conversation on entrepreneurship with a young man who I've watched grow from an intern in corporate to the CFO in a partnership corporation.  Listen in as he tells us about the journey and the lessons learned.  Be encouraged in your entrepreneurial pursuits from someone who is walking out the unfolding story.  This conversation just may encourage you to pick back up you're dream or idea and pursue it with planning and purpose. 

I'm excited to greet you today with Episode 009 | A Conversation With Latrice Pace.  Join us for a fruitful, fun and full conversation on faith and dreams, obedience and rejection, health and wellness and so much more on this marvelous journey called life. Glean from her fields of wisdom and lessons learned along the way.  This conversation just may leave you encouraged and inspired to walk out the width and depth and breadth of your beautiful life.
