From Climate Policy to Inner Healing: Rebuilding Care, Identity, and the World with Alexandra Peek

In this episode, Nathan sits down with Alexandra Peek, a former climate tech professional turned community-based healer, to explore what it means to truly create change. After years working in law, sustainability, and environmental advocacy, Alexandra found herself questioning the impact of her work despite outward success. That realization sparked a personal transformation that shifted her focus from systems and policy to healing, identity, and the human body.The conversation explore the connection between trauma, subconscious patterns, and the systems we build. Alexandra shares how her work now integrates herbalism, energy healing, and death care, alongside efforts to build collaborative, holistic models of care that bring together Western medicine, Eastern practices, and community-based support.From local food sovereignty in El Paso to reimagining healthcare systems, Alexandra offers a grounded yet visionary perspective on what meaningful change looks like. It’s a call to examine what in our own lives may need to “die” in order to create something more aligned, authentic, and sustainable—for ourselves and the world around us.ABOUT Alexandra PeekAlexandra Peek (she/her) is a community-based energy worker, death doula, and herbalist based in El Paso, Texas.
