1: Welcome to Lila the Pod!

Hi! I’m Alexa Jo, but you may hear me called Alexa, Lex, Jojo, or Joj on the show.I founded Lila by Alexa Jo, home to a blog, community, events, and now a podcast.Lila is defined as: "a wholehearted contentedness upon the recognition that every happenstance in one’s life thus far has led this this very moment, in this very place, with these very people."I wrote a whole piece about why I chose “Lila” that you can find on my blog.Each week I’m joined by a different guest to talk about all kinds of topics. This started as I was interviewing cool people I met while traveling, but then I thought about how my people back home had a lot of important things to say too. Now, It's much more. From solo travel, to mental health, to social causes, to the meaning of life…we’re tackling it all. I dream of building a community, writing a couple novels, lifting-up others, and talking about real-life sh*t.Need some company, a belly laugh, or a hand to hold?
