Alexis and Allie are here to get you that Easy A in life. Each episode offers a helpful shortcut on how to hack the system rather than escape it. The pair see themselves as students of life—passionately curious women who want to explore the edges of life’s paradoxes. They are not gurus or teachers offering answers, but people in search of asking better questions. The truth is always a paradox—we believe you can be all of it yet defined by none of it. Be sensitive & strong. Sexy & intelligent. Funny & deep. Alexis & Allie will interview artists, wellness experts, leaders, researchers, & more.

E14 - Melissa Perazna: The Art of Photography and Chasing Your Dreams

This week we're joined by our best friend and world class photographer Melissa Perazna for an open conversation on creativity, courage, and following your dreams. Being raised by an underprivileged family Columbia, Mel's life has been a series of choices to defy the odds and live her dreams. She opens up about that journey: from being ostracized for photographing nude women, to moving to the United States and becoming successful in her field.

This episode is full of heart-felt moments, practical insights, and inspiring conversation to help you find the strength to follow your wildest dreams.
