Welcome back to the Balanced Bot Boring Podcast, where we sit down with Alexandra Venison, Co-Founder of Beautilist and Vogue Arabia Contributing Editor, for an honest conversation about identity, fulfillment, and the courage to pivot.
We explore the often-unspoken realities of being a woman in the workplace, the tension between corporate life and entrepreneurship, and the bold decision to shift from the fast-paced world of fashion to the more intentional realm of wellness.
Alexandra shares what truly moves her, how she redefined her identity outside of a job title, and why it's not about abandoning structure — it’s about building a life that feels aligned with her new health journey.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your path, or wanted to take the plunge into something new (but in a practical way), this episode is your sign to go deeper.
