#133 Choosing to Live in the Extremes with Alexandra Lauren

from Off The Comma · host Paul Briley

In this episode, we talk to Alexandra Lauren. She describes herself as adventurous, zesty for life and non-traditional. Alexandra lives in the United States. Alexandra tells us about sitting on a comma with deciding how she wanted to live her life. After growing up as an overachiever who tried to meet external expectations, Alexandra found herself living in dual realities. One part of her chose the “big girl” obligations, while another part of her craved adventure, exploration and extremes. Her comma peaked during medical school, when she realized she was helping people survive, but not to live. What came next was a complete pivot to a life of her choosing. Tune in to hear what Alexandra means when she says “I quit all of it”. You can find Alexandra on:Website:  https://thebucketlistmermaid.com/ Links:  https://the-bucket-list-mermaid.ck.page/fc8c2227ee  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/thebucketlistmermaid/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/753316278999035Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@TheBucketListMermaidAlexandra would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to her and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:My parents, family and friends.
