• 1:30
  Speaker 4: met my stepdad, who worked in radio. So her and
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: my stepdad both worked in radio my whole life. And
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: my mom was kind of like the mel She was
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the national sales manager. My dad was in finance, he
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: was a CFO. So I grew up kind of like
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: in that world, seeing it from a young age, being
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: in the DJ booths and wanting to be on air
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: and starting to do jingles at a young age, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I always wanted to be part of that. So long
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: story short, I ended up getting into like on air
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: acting and voice work and things like that from a
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: very young age when I was.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Like twelve, born to be a superstar.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: So I just being in that world and seeing it
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: every day, it was like, Wow, this is what I'm
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: drawn to And then they Spanish Broadcasting System is the
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: network that my parents worked for, and they launched a
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: TV station as well, so radio and TV being in
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: that started doing acting soap opera's commercials. By the time
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that I was like fourteen, so I was in high school,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I was starting high school and my parents put me
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: in this very small prep school, a very small private
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: preparatory school in Miami.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I should name it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Shout it out?
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: No, Actually, I don't know. Did anything legal happen back?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know. Trinity shout out Palmer Trinity.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's literally the Trinity episode.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: It's the Trinity.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: That's kind of creepy. Okay, well I said it. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: feel like I just let off a wait.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're free now, Palmer Trinity, Paul Mertridity.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, if you know, you know when.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: You say that, what does that mean?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: So Palmer is the graduating class is maybe like two
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: hundred students tops. It's a lot of well off, wealthy
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: kids in Miami rich school, a lot of international students.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Like they'll bring students from Europe and Australia to play
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: soccer and sports. Like there's no football, but there's soccer
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and lacrosse while there was at the time, I don't
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: know now, but the parking lot was full of BMW's porsches.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: It was very high and ritzy and a lot of
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: international students, which was really cool to be exposed to
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: so many cultures and people from around the world at
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: a young age, but a lot of douchebags.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of douchey Miami people.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: But I was always kind of a black sheep in
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: that sense because I was in the talent world and
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: doing acting and radio and things like that. So I
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: would come to class like covered in blood. I was
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: doing a soap opera where I was a vampire, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I would come to freshman algebra or whatever I was
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: learning at the time, like covered in blood with costume
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: and fake nails because we'd be filming overnight and people
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: would look at me and be like, who's this chick?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Who does she think she is? I got a lot
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of hate.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, because you're creative and artsy.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, or people are like a center
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: of attention, you know, especially at that age.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The bullying was crazy.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Like I endured a lot of that because I was,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: you know, always a little bit out of the box,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and I always was myself. So long story short, long
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: story short. I keep saying that even though the story's.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Long as head. That's what the podcast is for longtory.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: But during that high school time, I also had a boyfriend,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: my first love.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: He was a great, great kid. Shout out to that love,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: my first and that out Palmer, I'm not shot shouting
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: out his nape. But during that time, I when I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was on.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: The soap opera, I had a song produced on the
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: soundtrack of the soap opera that I sang called God
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: which means letters of love, and it was written about
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: this guy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Oh I love that one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: So that song we'll put it on a on on
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: the podcast at some point it's on. I'm not going
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: to I still get royalties if you download same one. Wow, Okay,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: but yeah, So it was just like a very intense
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: time of my life, like freshman sophomore year, I was
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: in this like passionate first love relationship while putting out
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: a song and being in soap operas acting and singing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: And I had also come from a lot of childhood
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: healing that I had to do with the fact that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: my biological father wasn't in my life. So I had
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: a great relationship with my stepdad, but I hadn't spoken
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to my biological dad. We stopped talking when I was
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: like thirteen. So coming into high school is a time
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: when the rebellions starts, when these like childhood traumas start
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: to fester. Yeah, so couple that with being on air
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: acting at a young age and kind of being like
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the black sheep of a high school.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I was a wild child.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I did my thing and no one could stop me,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: like quite literally, nobody, my parents, the law, the faculty.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I have to say too much, But like when you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: say doing your thing, because I remember as a angsty
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: fourteen year old, I got myself into like just a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: lot of bs.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, I was willing to do and go anywhere.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Correct, What were some of the things that like that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: fourteen year old Alexia would get up into in Miami?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And again you could say it's very much as you want,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: but was it like going out on the Miami scene?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean I looked a lot older when
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I was fourteen, and I had a fake ID because
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: in the school that I was at, people were going
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: to night clubs, the parents were buying tables and bottles
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: for their fourteen and fifteen years kids in South Beach,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Like we would go hit live at the Fountain Blue On,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: like Carlos's parents tab at fourteen.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: At fourteen, I've never even been.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I'm nearly thirteen, so that kind of thing. Like I
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: would use my window in my bedroom as a front door.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: My mom knows this, and just like hop out that
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: biach and call a cab and go to South Beach
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and hit up my promoter and be at the club.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: And I was fourteen. That's crazy, yes, girl. The only
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: club I was at at fourteen was the youth group.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Living this like high risk kind of a lifestyle at
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a very young age, having a lot of access, having
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: connections to this city of Miami that never sleeps, and
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: playing when people were sleeping, especially my parents. Like I
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: have memories of going out the window selling my mom, oh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: we're going to bed, my girls sleeping over, and we
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: would pretend to walk the dog so that we could
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: open the window and the alarm would go beep deep
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and she'd think we're like opening the door to walk
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the dog. So we had this whole elaborate plan so
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that we could open the window and sneak out call
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the cab. And I was at the club, like dancing
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: on a table with little John and look at my
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: phone and it's like mom calling on my sidekick.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: And the way I would look at it was like
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I'm already out, what's she gonna do? And I would
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: stay out and then come back home at seven am
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: and then go to geometry.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Did she ever say, hey, maybe don't go to the
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: club on a Tuesday?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: She tried?
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: I mean there was there was no discipline was lacking
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: for sure. And I also, again with like all of
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the childhood daddy issues, was kind of like I don't care.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, daddy's saying no to me. Who's gonna say no?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: So I kind of lived that life for a bit.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: And then that bled into high school and were.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: There other high schoolers doing this?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Because you said there are other kids at that age,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Like there were tables, so it was like it wasn't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: just you, it's other fifteen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Year old hit in the club.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I was introduced to that world by these people,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: and these like rich kids who had all of this
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: access and parents who like in Europe, it's the life
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: is so different, like we were.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Talking about going out. Having a drink at dinner is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: very common.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: So it was like if you watched for the Housewives
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: of Miami actually went to school with some of their kids,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: and it was very much like Mom, yeah, we're gonna
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: put the table on dad's card. Okay, okay, like only
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: two bottles tonight and like literally underage.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That is so different though, yeah, if you go, I
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: mean you talk about your travels all over the world too.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen this, Like it's so different when
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you go just right across the pond, you go across
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the Atlantic and you go in like Italy or Spain.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: That I first went to Spain, I was like, y'all,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: you're having dinner at eleven. When I first flew into
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Spain for the very first time, we got there like
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: three am and the.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Streets were mobbed. I expected it to be a ghost town.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Nope, everyone was out and about having a ball at
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: three am.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It's Miami. I mean, it's an international city.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of it draws a lot of Europeans
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: South Americans.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So that's the life and the culture.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: That makes a lot more sense now that it's like, okay,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of course, these teenagers are like this because that's literally
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the part of the culture that they're from and they.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Know of yep.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And before social media, I mean, it was harder to
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: keep track of people.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: It was easier to get fake id's.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Slip a bouncer, like one hundred dollars under your shitty
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: fake ID and no one's gonna say anything to you.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So you didn't get into well again, you disclosed as
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: much as you want. Did you get in any legal
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: problems of those shapes?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I have one story actually that my mom's fully aware of,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: but I did get put cuffed and put in the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: back of a cop car once with my best friend Veronica,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and we were put in handcuffs. I'm not going to
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: say why, but it was petty. We weren't arrested, we
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: were just put in the handcuffs and we were five
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: fat scars and if we were sat behind in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: backseat of the cop car and I'll never forget, Hey
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: there Delilah by the.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Plain white teas playing and we just looked at each
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: other like cuffed up and we're like, what are what?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: And then our parents we see our parents approaching and
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the cop had all of the stuff that we had
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: in our purses laid out on the hood of their
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Oh my.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Gosh, oh my goodness.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: But we didn't get arrested. I mean, it wasn't that bad.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: It was like hookah. We were like fifteen trying to
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: buy like tobacco or something like that.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So that kind of mischief.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So when you're doing all this, what like where your
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: grades suffering? Was it like impacting your schooling?
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I mean not really, because academics have always been really
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: important to me, Like it's just always been part of
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: who I am, and I think just naturally inclined to that,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Like I was a really good student.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Before I went nuts.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: But that's impressive.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: The conduct is definitely what suffered, not the grades.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It was the like like the tardiness.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: The uh not showing up. And then so we'll fast
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: forward to prom. I did go to a prom because
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: that first love of I almost said his name, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: don't want to say the first love and I broke
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: up and I was very spiteful and vengeful. So I
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: wanted to go to his prom, his senior prom, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: show up with a senior which I did. So I
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: went to that prom, but it was my sophomore year,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: so it didn't count obviously, So I went to a promp.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: At least you got to see it, tho. I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I count.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: But then one day I did something naughty and I
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: was called into the dean's office and she sat me
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: down and goes, hey, you do a lot of naughty stuff.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: And it was a lot of like uniforms. You had
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to wear ties and blazers. It was like that kind
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: of school. I would wear tiny shorts, I'd wear like
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: crop tops. I had my nose pierced, so I went
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: to Spain and got my nose piers when I was fourteen,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: So I would wear my nose ring defiantly, and just
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: those kinds of things.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And the dean just one day was like, listen, you're
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. And I looked at her and said,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: f off. I doubled down.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, what is she gonna do about it?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even know.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Who I was, Honestly, I looked at her and I said,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: f off.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Can they even expel you at a private school? Like
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: you're paying to be there?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna do?
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Tell me to go home.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I was asked to leave and never return, So.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Where do you go after that? Because now you've obviously
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I wow.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: So imagine I'm like everyone in school already is like, oh,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: this girl's like Hannah Montana, she has like a nighttime
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: acting career, and now she's kicked out. And it was
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: like it was drama for sure, And so I kind
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: of always moved in in my own path because it
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: was like navigating all of these instances and keeping that
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: black Sheep kind of a vibe. Going so high school
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: was tough for me because then I had to leave
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: that school and I went to an art school, nice
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Academy of Arts and Minds that one I will name it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's in existence anymore, but it was
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: an art school in Miami where a lot of like
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: djens went, like kids kicked Oh.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was gonna be like more of
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a because we had an art school in Viro and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, my best friends went over there, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, why are you there?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: But did it have more of a vibe that you're
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: going for? Like still, I mean it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Was like in the middle of the city. It definitely
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: was a little bit more lax. So I liked that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I could go to a class and then like pop
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: on over to Coconut Grove, which is a mall in Miami.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: So it was more of that vibe. But I also
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: like didn't care about school at that point. I was
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: more concerned about, like, well, prep school said f off,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say f off society. And that's kind
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: of when my rebellion even peaked and I went even
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: harder hell yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And started really just like, you know, f the world.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: And it took a minute for me to do some
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: internal understanding and healing that like all of this rebellion
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and like wild child behavior of like not given enough
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: and doing whatever I wanted was due to a lot
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: of unhealed trauma as a child that I'm still working
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: on to this day. But I've been able to recognize
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: that and grow from it and evolve as a human.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Whereas in high school I was in it. No yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and you're a teen and I didn't even know the consequences.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: You're like, I'm gonna be the biggest and the best
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: in the world, and if you don't like that, get
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: out of my fing way.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Correct. I'm Alexia, I'm here in Miami.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I'm fifteen, I'm gonna take over this dang city. But
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Miami eats you up and spits you out. So by
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the time I got to college, I said, I think
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: it's time. I'm going to leave this place. I need
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: to get out of here. I need a new start.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: So I went to Florida State because I wanted that
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: small town college experience, because going to college in Miami
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: it's like you're just continuing the cycle. I did my
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: my two first semesters of college in Miami, and it
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: was again, We're just going to the club. We're just
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: you know, doing the same old, same, another club, another club, literally,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: and you know what it's it's vapid, it's artificial, it's superficial.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: The conversations are not substantial, the connections aren't substantial.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: It's all what can you do for me? The transaction
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of it all.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: And I learned that, and I think that's why I'm
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: very one self protective and two evolved. And then went
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: to school, met my husband at Florida State, and then I,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: during all that craziness, kind of stopped doing the on
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: air acting and all that and shifted into like marketing
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: and communications.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: That's what you studied at Florida State.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, so that's when I shifted into that and I
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: met my husband. Kind of had my zen healing era
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: in college and then went to grad school for marketing
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and communications, but then always realized, like, you know, my
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: passion is being on air and then hosting and storytelling
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and connecting with audiences, and I can do that. So
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: it took a few little detours to finally come back
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: full circle and now feel like I'm the Alexia that
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: little Alexia really.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Wanted to be.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you needed those experiences, as crazy as it sounds, Yeah,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: those are the experiences that make you the whole human
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that you are today. When you were at FSU, you
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: said that was your zenful moment. Was there a moment
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: because I could look back on my chapters of life
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and I know that there are literally specific years where
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, that was the pitchfork. I could have
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: went left and became the degenerate that I was setting
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: myself up to be, or am I could look and say,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: wait a second, if I start this now, I could
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: really set myself up for the future. What was that
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: moment for you that you're like, I gotta get my
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: shit together.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I think it was meeting my husband, a boyfriend at
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the time in college because I was still so we
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: were long distance after college when we graduated, in grad
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: school and everything, and I was still I moved back
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: to Miami. It's after college for a bit and we
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: were long distance. So it was like coming back into
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: this world now as a twenty something year old who's
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: legally of age, and you know, I have some money,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I'm hotter because I'm older, whatever, so I had. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: went back to Miami in my twenties and was like
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: getting back into that cycle and meeting going out with
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: the same It's like the promoters in Miami, they all
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: stay the same age. All the girls just get younger
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: and younger. So I started falling back into that. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I had this amazing man, Mike, who was in Tallahassee.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: And I looked at the situation and said, do I
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: continue this artificial, you know, instant gratification kind of a
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: lifestyle or do I put down roots with someone who
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: potentially saved my life.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And I think that was the pitchfork for sure.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: That's so powerful.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: How did he save your life?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I think you know, it was also not having like
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: stable father figure my whole life.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Meeting a man like Mike, Oh my god, I'm getting emotional.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Or one year universaries or three year anniversaries tomorrow when
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: you're a wedding anniversary.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: We've been together thirteen years now, that's so good. But
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he's just so good.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: There's no like malicious intention, and he lets me sparkle
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: and shine and be the biggest me that I can be,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Whereas I always dealt with men who it was like
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: that Hispanic machismo in Miami, it was like what can
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: your looks give me? But I always had to kind
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: of train myself to be an object in order to
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: be value add in a society that valued.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: That instead of being that glowing bright light that you
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: bring to this world.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Correct. And also, you know, Dad, girls got to have
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a strong father figure and that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: You know, lents itself to trust issues and commitment issues
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: and things like that. And seeing that Mike was a
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: man who was fully showing up, authentically and wholeheartedly, that
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: he wasn't gonna lie to me, that he wasn't going
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: out for boys nights when we were apart, and then
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: meeting his family who have been married forty something years
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: and his parents and seeing how stable and strong they were.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: That's that was the life I wanted for my kids.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Wow did you? Was there a moment? Because I think
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of people deal with this, especially when you
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: finally find let's say you find Mike, and it's like,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: was your body trying to, like I guess at times
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: talk you out of it because it's like it's almost
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: too good to be true. You're like, I didn't. What
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: was that like for you?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I'm a self sabotager, Like I want to hurt you
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: before you hurt me. Ooh, I want to cut you
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: off before you can f me. And I think again
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: that goes back to dad. It's like all of that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: It's like that abandonment. It's like oh no, no, no, no one
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: can hurt me because I'm gonna fuck you over harder.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: So that was with that first love in high school.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I hurt him and it ended the relationship in an
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: early way because I just again it was like too
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: good to be true.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I need to ruin this, and that happened several.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Times throughout my late teens early twenties and meeting Mike.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: It was like, yeah, this is too good to be true,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: but also like oh no. I struggled a lot with like,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I want to be the career baddie who has the
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: corner office in New York City. I want to be
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Kim Katrol from Sex and the City Samantha Jones, and like,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: no man can penetrate my heart because he's penetrating me.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Mm hm oh yeah, that does make sense.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: So that time, it was like my early twenties when
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: that's kind of the life I always envisioned for myself
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: being a baddie, being independent and not really thinking of
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: a man being part of that equation. And then having Mike,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: who is an amazing man who that's not the way
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: he is. He's not going to move to New York
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: City or Miami, but that's okay. So that made me
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: realize like, okay, either you pick this lifestyle or you
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: pick someone that you can grow with and settle and
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: establish roots with.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: So the body was telling me like.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Go out to the city, be single, get back to
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: the club, get on the tables, whereas my heart was like, no,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: you idiot, Like you have an amazing man, what are
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: you doing?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't miss out on that beautiful moment.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Ah, And that's so amazing to be able to look
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: back and you realize like you made the right decision,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: God, one hundred percent with my whole heart, and it
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: led us to Saint Pete. It led us to here,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: to this community, to the incredible job that I get
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: to come to every day.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: So no regrets ever.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Gosh, that is so wild.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: So it's like sure, I'm like, you look back at
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: these certain moments in your life and it's like it's
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: so pivotal, like one certain decision could have led to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: an entirely different life. Maybe you never hear now you've
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: taken You've literally lived out I feel like the dream
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: that that younger Alexia wanted of, like I want to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: be the baddie, I want to take over the city.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: But now you've done it in like a more complete,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: whole way, which is so cool.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I've never even thought of that you have, Like I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: think that's.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: What we all see from you.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: It's like you came to Saint Pete and you're not
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the one that's like pushing people aside to get to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the top. You're literally bringing people together to bring everyone
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: to an elevated space.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: You needed that, the Queen of Saint Pete.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Come on, well, you know what it means so much,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: And I think that's why I started Saint Pete Al's
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: because I was such a loner in high school and
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I had like two or three really strong female friendships
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: that are my friends to this day, my maid of
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: honors at Comos. But it was always that two really
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: strong close friendships and then kind of by myself. So
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: now that I get to relish in this incredible community
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: and have so many friends and not just acquaintances, like
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: actual friends and relationships is all I ever wanted. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I'm an only child too, so again loner, always a loner, stoner.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Drifting on my own.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: So I feel so thankful to have community and to
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: have you two, this family so lucky.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I love that we love it. Gosh, heart's so full.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm so glad I got to trauma dump on
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: everyone this morning.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: This is great.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: And to hear more about young Alexi and all the
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: crazy stuff you had in your bag.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: We have stories.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of isolated incidents that I could tap into,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: but that was the overarching.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: They're way in the past. The statute of limitations is over.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, correct, Well I have Yeah, there's a memoir that'll
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: come one day, we'll see. But there's a few things
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: that Mike can't know about.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Ah oh man, Okay, Well, speaking of Mike, you did
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: say you're celebrating your anniversary thirteen years together. What are
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you all going to do for your anniversary? Because you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Mike's not somebody that's up in the spotlight. He's not
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: somebody that's doing what we do here. But he's such
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a sweet, good hearted dude. What do you guys have
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: planned for the anniversary?
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: So Mike's an environmental scientist, just so everyone knows. So
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: his brain that is so small, functions very different.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: What I don't know. I don't get other people's jobs.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I don't either, so science, but he flies the drone

  Speaker 5: He's a businessman, he's an entrepreneur.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so we quickly quickly fell in love.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: And he still had to deal with Miami Alexia times
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: where he would pick me up from the Tallahassee Airport
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: flying from Miami, and I would smell of cigarettes and
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: nightclub like I would come straight from the club and
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: get on the plane and go to tellhassee you.
• 23:34

• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about Alexi. This is not pointed it

  Speaker 2: at all.
• 24:57

  Speaker 3: Not going to name any names.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I agree, Well, what I'm gonna try and get it
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: before Scotti? No way, wait Alexia?
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: And so I saw Alexi. I was like, that makes sense.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: She's literally Queen of Saint Pete perfect. But then it
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: made me think. I was like, how the hell do
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I make this happen? Because I'm so tired of seeing
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: other people who have not been here and are not
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: in love with Tampa Bay as I am throw out
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: that damn pitch.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: There needs to be a day, a reason for the day.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Like, for instance, the reason they called me was because
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: it was seven two seven day damn, which is saying
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Peter my day then right there.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: And I've seen like, for instance.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Saw I saw they had another influencer recently who has
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: less followers than you, but they tied it to her heritage.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Just need to find you can get your pr gall
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: who and his white boy national cutie white boy dad.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Just everyone just go and go. Just that's fine.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: What if?
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Wait, that would be a really fun promotion for a
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Tuesday night game. CUTI cuty white and it's just all
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: the normal white boys that go to the baseball game
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: show up. They're like, we heard this was the day
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: for us.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I wonder would it be wrong?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I could pull my jew card Newdy Magazine.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you were ever gonna pull the car,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: now is the time?
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I mean jew? Yeah?
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, do you have some lineage?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Well I was bar mitzvah. I was like the whole thing.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: What yeah? I stopped really going after that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Did you know he was Jewish?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: No, many people do.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I don't talk about with a lot of Jewish people
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: in I went to a lot of bars.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: That's where my family grew up. It's down in Miami.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: What very like Miami jew in my family of Miami Jew.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: Well, that's it's the blonde here that throws me off.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I do have a different lineage too,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: so it's like a lot of very split.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Definitely not Oskonowsky because that my best friend's husband is
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: and he's like.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Very dark in hairy.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not me.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I do have family that's like that, Like they do
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the full curls.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: They're Orthodox jew Like that's all in my family. Was like,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: you know what we're gonna be, you know, the black sheep.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: We're gonna take a little step aside, very reformed. I'll
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: do my little bar mitzva thing, do the Torah. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: do love Jewish culture. I really love the events and
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the food.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know much about it. We did a
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: little bit of stuff, not that much stuff.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: No. I just saw John Stewart talk about this where
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: he was talking about how his family is blended. I
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: think he's Jewish and his wife is Christian, and he's like,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: in terms of Easter and Christmas, like the Jews are
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: really losing out here when it comes to the holidays.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: He held up an Easter basket and he was like, look, kids,
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: we're celebrating Easter. And then he had a plate that
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: was all of traditional traditional Yiddish foods. I guess Passover,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: you're not really converting the kids very well. If it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: if it's a toss up, like if we're doing the
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: March Madness bracket, Easter is winning every time Jesus resurrects
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: from the dead and you and you get a peanut
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: butter eggs.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of why we slep.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: An Orthodox rabbi with the curls doesn't quite hit like
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the Easter bunny, but.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Adam Brody and nobody wants this.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Now, Why is it that all.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: The hot men are super religious like I somehow end
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: up on hot priest TikTok what where?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: It's just like.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: All these Italian men who are who are in the
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: priesthood and they're all just have they took a bottle
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: of celibacy. And the comments are hysterical because the women
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: are like, this is a crime to nature.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: That's rage baiting for sure.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Sure. Lower Yeah, no, a priest needs to look like
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: the bottom of my of my shoe.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Well, speaking of priest, when the high school I went to,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: we had a scandal because it was Episcopalian, so there
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: was like light Christianity, so we had priest There was
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: a scandal where one of the priests was in a
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: porn It was like the year before I started, and
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: somebody found him doing like wrestling, like nude wrestling.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Online and like years ago or not, no, not too
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: far from that time, and so he got let go.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: He got alave too.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: We were pinging for your sins. Okay, let him get
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: a little freaky.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Right, We evolve, We all grow and evolve.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: You should be able to forgive, and honestly, I don't
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: think there should be anything wrong with getting a little freaky.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: How many hell marys do you think that you do
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: for sixty nine?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Good lord?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm so pumped to be able to one celebrate
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: with you as you continue taking over Alexia. And I
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: love being able to give you an outlet to share
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: these stories because there's a lot of things that we
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: can't talk about, especially a lot of that on the air.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I don't say sorry, mommy.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: But to be able to share it here it was
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: really cool. Abby. Your high school experience was not.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Like that, No, it was completely opposite. I had like
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: a very normal high school experience. For the first couple
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: of years, I was not in the club. I was
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: in the pew.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: So we didn't even have clubs like Vira. We just
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: literally got drunk at the gazebo.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying is when we talk about euphoria
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: and stuff, the whole party in high school thing never
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: made sense to me because I'm like, where are you
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: guys going. I'm like, my parents are constantly home. I'm like,
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: are you going to the woods?
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: That seems we did. We would go in the woods.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: We'd go in the woods, or we'd go somebody's parents
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: would be out and we'd get drunk in their house
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and wild it up, or in an abandon neighborhood.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Just go sit by the lake. M HM.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Small town debauchery versus Miami.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, it's as opposite as like there's no clubs.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: The craziest club Jesus. I would go to skate Factory.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: That was my club.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I guess where I got my first booty dance, my
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: first makeout lit.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Ours was skate Station.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: You gub in Jacksonville, right, I grew up in Jacksonville,
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: So skate Station was in Mandarin and that's where that's
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: where you'd have like a birthday party. Where the people
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: would go. And then in high school it kind of
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: got lame because you know, you could drive other places.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we stood in driving other places. We drove
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: them every now and then go to the beach and
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: you know, just get a little drunk on the beach
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: and somehow pass out at somebody's house. Yeah, and that
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: was very different from Miami.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had that too.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: We had our moments of just boys back seat of
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: boys cars and you know, doing the the woods and
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: getting drunk there.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, what a different experience. I like that, A
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: full trio of experiences.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Makes us whole and well balanced.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well that's all I got for you, Alexia.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: I'm honored. Thank you so much. I love hanging out
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: with you guys. And I'm always telling my listeners to
• 31:03

  Speaker 3: Finally, the studio is not wrapped.

• 31:15
  Speaker 5: We were supposed to have all of our artwork up

• 31:20
  Speaker 5: studio professional and it's literally just sitting on the floor.
