Alex Schueler is a full package when it comes to being multi dimensional. She is a professional woman with financial certifications and connections including top minds in the world. And she is also a 500 hour certified Yogini who comes packed with life lessons and spiritual wellness at her core. Alex is sweet and strong and genuine: real Seastar vibes. She is easy to talk to and a testament to the bad stuff in life bringing on the good stuff (and perspectives).
Alex and Mel talk about the importance of relationships, the value of loving what you do in life, leaning into curiosity, and creating a unique life that not only looks and feels good but adds value to one's essence and the people around us. Tune in to catch the ride from Guggenheim finance professional to Milken Institute Business Development Director and what that all looked like and how she made important career moves and decisions. Some of those links Mel mentioned are Here for Study on why women don't apply to jobs without 100% qualifications. The actual quote she was looking for from this article was "“Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100% of them.” and the program to volunteer with Kids who suffer immediate family loss from Cancer similar to their mentors was Walk With Sally. Mel volunteers with Big Brother Big Sister.
