Conversations With Alexis

Welcome to Episode 408, the Season 4 Finale of Conversations with Alexis.  I can't believe it either, but this is the time.  Thank you for your incredible support this season - it truly overwhelms me in the best way! 4 seasons, 65 episodes and multiple fantastic guests.  It's been a season of grace, endurance, growth, consistency and courage.  Join me today as I share what Season 4 taught me and a recap of some wonderful episodes that I hope changed some lives.  Season 5 awaits us, but only after we pause, reflect, refocus, rest and then press forward.  

Welcome to Episode 407.  Maybe you have heard them on #CarTunesTuesday, or maybe you saw them on Season 11 of America's Got Talent.  You may have even seen them vocally supporting some of your favorite artists. This week I sat down for an interesting and encouraging conversation with RAII  & Whitney - a powerful singing couple who perform, write, produce, teach and so much more.  We covered a gamut of subjects but love, faith and music weaved a line throughout it all.  Listen in as they share about their unique journey as a couple in the music industry.  They have a wealth of knowledge and a heart to serve and educate others.  The icing on the conversation cake was discussing their latest project "Best You",  which in my opinion is an inspirational love letter to our youth.  Join me now for this conversation that you definitely don't want to miss!

Welcome to Episode 406, A Conversation on Psalm 91. It's a brief but packed podcast this morning and you have a personal invitation to come have a one on one conversation with me.  You may be familiar with it or never read it before.  It is a Psalm of protection and filled with pretty powerful promises for those who choose to dwell. Now more than ever I believe this is a Psalm we need to read, know and receive.  Come join me now for this important conversation!

Welcome to Episode 405, A Conversation on The Journey of a Dream with Will T. Travis. I love it when we follow the dreams God has placed in our heart.  It's not always easy, but rather a quite unique journey.  That's why I enjoyed today's conversation.  Will is on the journey of a dream.  From Birmingham to Broadway and now in Hamilton, he is going after this with faith, determination and a knowing that God is indeed ordering his steps on the journey of this dream.  Listen in, be encouraged and get back in there on the journey of your dream, I promise every step will be so worth it if you just keep going. Don't dim your light, keep shining and take the journey of a lifetime to your dream.

Welcome to Episode 404, A Conversation on Entrepreneurship with a Purpose with JimDre Westbrook. What were you created to do? Are you doing it?  If not, why not?  Today's conversation is guaranteed to challenge and encourage you to follow your dreams, pick back up that God idea.  Build the business that's been put on your heart - and do it now.  JimDre reminds us that our gifts are for now, at this appointed time and we can unapologetically use them all and walk in our purpose.  Join me now for this conversation.

Welcome to Episode 403, A Conversation on Worship with Minister Sheena Evans. Have you ever wondered what is worship?  How do we worship?  Is it necessary to worship?   Today's conversation is guaranteed to usher you into a new dimension of what worship is and just how important it is to the life of a believer. It's not churchy, but it is authentic and mind expanding.  You'll walk away informed, encouraged and ready to worship.   Join me now for this conversation that I pray changes your life!

Welcome to Episode 402, A Conversation about “Big Idea Food” with Marlena Banks. What is “Big Idea Food”?  I could tell you, but I would much rather you listen and find out all about it.  Marlena and I had the most enlightening and encouraging conversation that ranged from inviting God into your business to asking God for the gold. This conversation is for the entrepreneurs, the creatives, those who want to ask God for the unimaginable.  I do believe this week's conversation will challenge you, encourage you but ultimately push you into the more God has waiting for you! Join me now for this conversation!

Welcome to Season 4 - Episode 401, A Conversation on Friendship with Ayesha Doyle.  I sat down with one of my dearest friends and we put it all out there - the good the bad and the special.  We discussed this gift of friendship and the grace to walk in it.  We share our hearts, we share our laughs, we share our truths and I hope it resonates with you.  Whether you are in a good place with your friends or if you're on the friendship struggle bus at the moment, listen to this episode.  Make it a point of reflection and discussion.  Your friendship may not be perfect, but it just may be purposed.  Join me now for this conversation!

Welcome to Episode 313, our Season 3 Finale of Conversations With Alexis. It’s been an amazing journey and I thank you for trusting my voice and platform. Today I let you in behind the scenes of this season.  I share with you lessons learned from all of our guests.  While we wave a farewell to Season 3, we offer a welcome and hello to other great things in store for Conversations With Alexis – and I tell you all about it in this episode. It has been my honor and privilege to greet you every Thursday morning with a new episode full of encouragement and knowledge with some pretty awesome guests.  I only pray you were inspired along the way.  Join me now for this final conversation of Season 3.

Welcome to Episode 312, A Conversation with Pauleanna Reid. In this episode we learn more about her remarkable life journey thus far as an author, entrepreneur, journalist and celebrity ghost writer. Although living in the sweet spot today, she overcame a past of bullying, depression and failures. But through it all she has emerged as an overcomer and a powerhouse in many industries. She is a millennial woman who “fought for her dreams and won”. This is one episode that will challenge you, encourage you and hopefully propel you forward. Welcome to this week’s conversation.

Welcome to Episode 311, A Conversation with Carol Bevil.  In this episode we talked about the company she co-founded (Fuel Your Body Feed Your Soul) that is a God first approach to nutrition, body image & food relationship. Her fabulous new devotional, “I Am His” and her remarkable testimony of giving her life to Christ at the age of 40. This was not an average conversation. We talked about high highs and low lows and how they all work together for our good.  This conversation enlightened me, encouraged me and made me value even more the pursuing love of Christ and I believe it will reach you in a special way as well.  This is one conversation you don’t want to miss.   

Welcome to Episode 310, A Conversation on Wisdom. It’s time again for our one on one conversation and this subject is so apropos for the time and space in history we are in right now. If we have ever needed wisdom before, we definitely need it right now! Join me for a brief conversation on what wisdom is, how do we get it and why it’s ever so important. I’ve also ended today’s conversation with a challenge I hope you’ll join me on. Happy Friday & welcome to this week’s conversation!

Welcome to Episode 309, A Conversation on Women’s Mental Health with Counselor Alisha Curry Walker.  This season we have delved more into mental health due to the times we are living in.  The conversation today is for all with a special lean toward women.  The woman is the nucleus of the family and it is vitally important that she pours from a healed and whole place.  Alisha shares with us practical strategy to know yourself and where you are as well as guidance to do the soul healing work.  If you are a woman I encourage you to listen in and glean wisdom for your life’s journey.  If you are a man, listen to understand and support the women in your life. Welcome to this week’s conversation.

How often do you talk to yourself?  Honestly? We all do, but what type of conversations are we having? Are they positive and propel you forward or are they negative and disrupting your promised future? Welcome to Episode 308, A Conversation on “Talking To Yourself” with Robert Harper II.  Robert has written a transforming book on this subject that we delved into in this episode.  I invite you to join us for this enlightening conversation and then I respectfully challenge you to audit how you talk to yourself, make positive changes (with the help of his book) and proceed accordingly. You know I believe in great conversations, and I also believe the ones you have with yourself are some of the most important ones you will ever have.  Episode 308 is available now…just for you!

Welcome to Episode 307, A Conversation with Shawn & Jennifer Spears.  What happens when two distinctly different paths led by God merge and become one? A custom-made love story from God.  I sat down with this couple and learned about their unfolding story of love and kingdom purpose. We addressed everything from transparency, brokenness, prison, restoration, love and legacy wealth building.  It sounds like a lot because it is a lot.  We packed a lot into this conversation.  I don’t ascribe to couple goals, but I am inspired and encouraged by God given love stories and I believe that is what you will hear and see in this episode. Whether married or single, I am sure you will hear something in this conversation that will open your heart and encourage your faith.  Join me now for this conversation.

Welcome to Episode 306, A Conversation with Jay Barnett.  Jay is an Author, Speaker, Marriage & Family Therapist and former NFL Football Player.  I know all of that sounds wonderful and indeed it is.  But he is also a victor, overcomer, survivor believer and so much more. He has a remarkable journey of low lows that has lead to some incredible and purpose filled high highs with even more on the horizon. We covered a lot from forgiveness, therapy for men, suicide to working in your sweet spot and we could have kept going. Jay unknowingly challenged me in this conversation.  I was led to lay most of my pretty little thought out questions aside and just talk. It produced an authentic and transparent conversation that just may change some lives. I know it will encourage you and especially speak to the hearts of men. Join me now for this conversation.

Welcome to Episode 305, A Conversation on Being A Prisoner of Hope.  There is a lot going on in our world.  Not just from month to month, but really day to day.  If we aren't careful, we can begin to feel hopeless and then helpless and it's downhill from there.  This morning in our monthly 1 on 1 conversation, I want to encourage you to remain hopeful.  We will talk about what hope is, why we need it and how necessary it is for you to make it in this life in this world.  It's a brief conversation, but I pray it speaks to you right where you are and encourages your heart and refuels your hope.

Welcome to Episode 304, A Conversation on Miracles & Healing. On this episode I invited Dr. Charles E. Goodman Jr, to have an open and candid conversation on the subject.  If you've heard him preach or seen him in action, you may never know that he his a walking, talking miracle.  Diagnosed with a terminal illness almost 20 years ago, he stands before us today healed.  His life is proof that the healing God in the Bible is the same one who still heals today.  We talk about the gift of healing, the responsibility and even the guilt.  This is one full and honest conversation that you don't want to miss.  Let it reignite your faith and remind you that God still heals.

Welcome to Episode 303 of Conversations With Alexis.  2020 has been something special.  It has thrown a lot our way, but if you're reading this right now you are alive and surviving, maybe even thriving in a year like we have never seen before.  On this episode I invited Dr. Stephanie Caine who is a licensed and professional therapist to walk us through the trauma that 2020 has brought with it. Dr. Steph laced our conversation with an authentic and transparent tone to address questions and concerns we may have with current life experiences.  With a Biblical base and a vast repertoire of experience and expertise in this field, she doses out words of hope, education, encouragement and grace that I think we all need right now.  Join me now for this special episode of Conversations With Alexis.

Join us today for Episode 302, as I conclude my Conversational Testimony with Part 2.  Last week I left you in the middle of the diagnosis that changed my world.  This week we conclude with the awesome power of God that restored my peace.  I hope you'll join me.  I hope it encourages you and I hope it helps you remember that God still heals.

Hello and welcome to Season 3 of Conversations With Alexis!  It's been a long time coming and I'm so glad today is here! Welcome to Part 1 of a two part season opener.  It's a conversation with me.  Wonder why I took a year off from CWA? Wonder where have I been and what's been going on? Ready to hear a testimony of the goodness and faithfulness of God? Then pull up a chair and let's talk!  I call this a 'Conversational Testimony', because that's what it felt like.  A conversation that is ultimately a testimony.  Join me now!

It’s here.  Season 2 Finale!  You all have rocked with me since Feb. 15th  and many of you way before that since we first started last year.  What an incredible journey.  Purposed, hard work - yet oh so rewarding.  I pray your lives have been touched and changed by the fantastic guests we’ve been blessed to converse with.  Now it’s time to pause, reset, regroup and prepare for next.  Join me today on this episode as I thank you, share my heart with you and give a glimpse of what is to come.  We’re just getting started…oh the places we will continue to go and the fun we will have.  Keep coming on this journey with Conversations With Alexis…I’m telling you, one of these conversations just might change your life!

Time. It’s a God-given gift you wakeup to everyday. 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds. Time is the common ground for us all. Doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, young or old, rich or poor…we all get 24 hours in a day. What will we do with these precious moments afforded to us? I want to have a conversation with you about it, encourage new perspectives and then challenge you to see the beauty and acknowledge the weight of this gift of time.

Join us this week for the conclusion of our conversation with Isaiah & Shannon Freeman on infertility. Last week we paused right where their story was just unfolding. This week you’ll hear how God orchestrated their parenthood story step by step. They stand before you today as parents of twin baby boys and authentically share the journey to there. What I love most about this week’s conversation is the heart to heart message Shannon gives to the women and the words of life Isaiah speaks to the men. Wherever you are on your journey, allow this conversation to encourage you. Welcome it in as wind in your sail to help you keep going…even in the wait.

This is a conversation I’ve wanted to have since Season 1. I have a heart for couples desiring children and partly because I am the answer to a 10 year prayer.  This week I want to encourage those desiring children and currently in the wait to listen in.  Listen individually and as a couple.  Isaiah and Shannon Freeman walk us through their amazing God ordained journey through infertility to parenthood.  They are genuine, authentic and really delve into all aspects of this journey - the good, the bad and the frustrating.  Our conversation was so good and flowed on that we have to break it up into 2 parts.  I promise you this is a conversation you want to hear and that will encourage your heart.  Even if you aren’t dealing with infertility – the wisdom gleaned from them on the process of waiting will bless the lives of all those who are in the wait. 

Join me this week as I have a motivating conversation with Kennard Garrett.  Look in the credits of some of your favorite songs and you just may see his name there.  In our conversation he walks us through his journey from a successful college career to Corporate America to leaping out and writing his heart and living his dreams in the music industry.  Never one to rest on his laurels, even with great musical success he has created another lane in the educational world to share his gifts and inspire the next generation creatively.  I encourage you to listen in and glean from his wisdom, be inspired by his story and stirred to action to live the life exceedingly above what you can even imagine.

Today we are talking about Being Still.  Yes, you read that right.  In a world that tells you to constantly be on the go, I want to remind you to Be Still. There is a propelling push from the mere act of being still and I want to have a conversation with you all about it.  By now you have looked at the episode art and are probably wondering what in the world???  Well you will just have to tune in to find out :0). Missed ya'll...but I'm back...  

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Dr. Eddie Connor. We walk through his overcoming and fascinating journey to now. He shares about the process from moving from broken pieces to walking in peace. The beautiful surprise of our conversation was an enlightening discussion about his latest book “Woman”. He has been blessed to encourage and speak life to men, women and children - yet in today’s conversation we delve into a special portion for the woman. I promise you it’s just a taste of what you will experience when reading his latest book. Hear his heart as he encourages you in your journey to the whole, healthy and best version of yourself. It’s a reminder of just how awesome and treasured we all are and should be treated…starting with ourselves. You owe it to yourself to hear this conversation and walk boldly in the inspiring messages throughout.

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Dr. Tori J. Evans-Barton on The Fatherless Generation.  That’s where we began and ended, but this conversation is filled with revelation on healing, reconciliation, obedience, honor and so much more.  Dr. Torri J. has a beautiful ministry of reconnecting Fatherless Children with their Fathers and it all began with finding her own when she was 31.  She takes us on her personal journey that wasn’t easy, but was purposed and ultimately blessed.  This conversation is for the family…the Fathers, The Mothers and the Children...yes even the grown Children …it covers us all.  Pull up a virtual seat and come right on in to this conversation.  It just may change your life…if you listen and let it. 

Join me this week as I have a conversation on letting it go. We’ve all heard the phrase before whether sincerely or dismissively. But I want you to hear it through new ears this morning. Join me if you will on this topic and I pray we all learn to “Let It Go”.

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Razia Sabour, Chef & Entrepreneur. Prior to our conversation, I knew she was a fabulous Chef with a great spirit and an amazing work ethic. What I didn’t know is that this culinary world she is quickly conquering wasn’t a childhood dream and wasn’t what she planned out – it was all because of a prayer to God for more time with her family. Listen in on her fascinating story of what happens when you pray, believe, leap and obey – the results are astounding. For some, you have the dream all mapped out and that’s wonderful – but for others, you’re an open vessel to the dream God gives. Today’s conversation is for you. This is such a story – this is such a blessing.

Join me this week as I have a conversation with Ronald Jones, Interior Designer & Entrepreneur. What begin as sketches in a book as a child and dreams in his heart has now manifested into touchable, tangible beautiful designs, a successful business and elated clients. At such a young age he has already accomplished alot in the design field, but with an amazing work ethic, faith and family – there is no limit to his dreams come true. Listen in on our candid conversation on his unique journey in this field and I pray it reawakens some of the dreams within you.

In Season 1, one of our highest downloaded shows was one on mental health. This resonated with me and I knew we had to have another conversation about such an important subject. For this week’s episode, I spoke with Psychiatrist Dr. Adam Meadows who joined me for an enlightening conversation on a subject that is often overlooked, but cannot be ignored. I heard him speak with clarity and passion on the subject and knew we needed to have a conversation with him. We cover a gamut of information including warning signs, different types of help available, how to begin the conversation with friends and family and the pre-care of making time for you in this journey of life. Listen in on our conversation that I pray helps change some lives.

Thank you for joining me today for Episode 209, a Conversation with Marshawn Evans Daniels on Believing Bigger. Do you know your purpose? Are you walking in it? Has life served you some interruptions and you need to learn how to embrace them, learn from them and use them? Our conversation flowed from faith, purpose, heartbreak, depression, and of course Believing Bigger – yet so much more in between. This conversation is full and will educate you, challenge you and encourage you on this journey and in your calling. Glean from the wisdom of Marshawn and learn from the vision, book and movement that is Believe Bigger.

Join me this week as I have an honest and candid conversation with Dr. Joe Owens, a Veterinarian, Entrepreneur and Inventor.  Learn more about this competitive field, his advocacy for animals and the amazing journey from a great idea to a patented invention.  If you’re a pet owner like me, I know you’ll be challenged by his honesty. If you have a desire to practice medicine you can glean from his wisdom.  If you have a brilliant idea and need the encouragement to pursue it, listen in.  The gamut of our conversation was enlightening and I’m sure after this conversation you’ll agree Dr. Owens is definitely not your average veterinarian.

Join me this week as we have our monthly one on one conversation. Today we are talking about one of the smallest, yet most powerful parts of our bodies – the mouth/tongue. What a powerful tool we’ve been given – but how are we choosing to use it? In my childhood I have heard the phrase a few times to “watch my mouth”, but I will admit those are valuable words even in adulthood. Join me as we delve into this subject and come out with life application and a new perspective on what’s coming out of your mouth.

Today’s conversation felt like we were on a sofa with some ice tea and we offered you a seat and a glass. Jackie Brewton has a wonderful way of welcoming you in and then empowering your spirit, all while you think you are just having a conversation. I know that’s why teens and their parents treasure the jewel that she is. For over 16 years she has dedicated her life to helping teens make good choices and giving parents a glimpse into the minds of their teens. She has a gift of relevance, a voice that teens glean from and the testimony of speaking into the lives of thousands of youth. Her heart for her purpose shines through and I know you will feel it in this conversation. If you are a parent of a teen, a teenager or you come in contact with teens or simply want to understand them more– this conversation today is for you!

Join me this week as I have a fascinating conversation with Marcus Y. Rosier. I had the pleasure of sitting down face to face with him to discuss his fantastic concept of Winning The Day and I met a man on a mission to change the world – one person at a time.  He has an amazing story of success, lessons learned and more success. What I love about our conversation is he doesn’t just introduce us to a concept, he walks us through a strategy. He’s not content with winning alone, he authentically wants us all to join him on the journey and win at this thing called life. His joy for his life work is infectious, his heart is sincere, his wisdom is overflowing and his life is flourishing.  I left our conversation educated, inspired, challenged and ready to win everyday.  I hope you do the same. Listen well my friends...this conversation could change your life. ***Available on iTunes, GooglePlay and www.ConversationsWithAlexis.com/episodes *** 

Join me this week as I have a conversation with thee fabulous Téja Veal. Téja is a talented bassist, singer and songwriter with a kind spirit and a beautiful soul.  I first met her at a concert where she was playing the bass and the only female in the band. Her smile radiated, yet her hands created “audible beauty” (as her bio says) on bass. We talk openly and candidly about going the road less traveled. The faith it takes, yet the blessings it yields. If you’ve ever had a different dream or gift, I pray this conversation will encourage you to step boldly into that uniqueness, embrace it and see just where the road God has for you leads.  

Welcome back to Episode 203 of Conversations With Alexis.  Join us today as we have a conversation with Nicole P. Theodore, Esq. on the Law of Business.  I've known her for several years and I've watched her go and grow and walk in her legal calling.  I now have the privilege of watching her walk in the next level of her destiny as a founding partner of her own law firm.  Listen in as we learn more about the woman, her journey and her mission for helping business owners. If you are an entrepreneur, know an entrepreneur or if you're even thinking about starting a business, you need to listen in. She freely shares her expertise and wants to see the best for you and your business.  

As your run your race in a world full of distractions, there comes a time when you have to pull out your Blinders.  Let's have a conversation about it today.  What are they, how do we use them and how can they help us?

There is a scripture in 2 Timothy that speaks of stirring up the gifts that are within you.  When I think of that scripture I think of Melissa D.  She is known as “The Activator” because her life’s purpose is to help people get activated.  My prayer is that something she shares in our conversation would flow through the airwaves and arrest us all from dormancy. It’s time for activation!

Welcome back!  I have missed you guys and I'm excited about Season 2 of CWA.  Just want to chat with you about it and tell you what's in store.

Join me today for our Season 1 Finale.  We have been together since April 2017 and it has been an amazing ride for me.  I have enjoyed bringing you a cornucopia of great guests for good conversations.  This is our Season 1 Finale and I want to have a conversation with you all about it.

Welcome back to Conversations with Alexis.  This episode is a little different.  It's my conversation with God about YOU.  Yes you my friend.  Each week I try to bring you conversations that will uplift and inspire you.  This week I was led to have a conversation with THEE GREATEST about you.  No lesson, no 3 points...just prayer.  Would you join me?

Happy Thursday! Welcome back to Conversations with Alexis. This week’s guest is a gifted artist who I believe is a real life example of Proverbs 18:16. Her life is a witness that your gifts will indeed make room for you and bring you before great men. I’ve known Natalie since college days at UGA, but I’ve watched God take her from a dorm room to countries all over this world. Listen in as we discuss her journey and be encouraged with what can happen when you truly yield your gifts to God.

This week I am thrilled to share this conversation with you.  Aileen was a gift from God to me as I started this Podcast.  Her videos helped guide me in the Podcast world and as I watched more and more I learned about so much more...even beyond podcasting.  She has done so much at an early age and she is just getting started.  As she pursues her dreams she uses her blog, podcast and youtube channel to encourage you to do the same and walks with you on the journey.  I knew she had a brilliant mind, but after this conversation I learned it was housed in a kind soul.  Join me for this conversation and pick back up the paintbrush as an artist of life.

Welcome back for Episode 020 | A Conversation On Waiting. We have all had to experience the process of waiting before.  Some may in the wait at this very moment.  I don't know what you're waiting on, but I want to encourage you in the wait.  I want you to know it's not in vain and after a while - yields amazing blessings if you just endure.  Waiting is not easy, but at times necessary - let's have a conversation about it!

Today’s show was a personal blessing for me. I have been an admirer of Diann’s creative and bold work as a fabulous designer and planer extraordinaire for many years. Yet when I had this opportunity to have a conversation with the woman behind it all – I became even more appreciative of her remarkable, yet down home and authentic spirit. To go from holding her books in my hand that helped spark my own creativity to conversing with her - blessed my life. As a successful entrepreneur with experience in numerous fields she is a business maven and in this conversation she drops wisdom for anyone who dares to dream out of the box. Her life is a story on the art of living well and it’s still being written. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Join me today for a conversation with Breakthrough Strategist, Lakeisha Dixon.  I was inspired by her life story thus far and wanted to invite her to share.  She has overcome things in life that may have caused some to breakdown, but through God she was able to breakthrough.  She now lives a life calling of helping others breakthrough as well.  Join me now for this conversation.

This week on Episode 17 we are going to delve into a subject that we often brush over and don’t really address. This small 4 letter word paralyzes some, yet propels others. God didn’t give it to us, so let’s talk about what to do with it and how to move beyond it. You'll notice Minister Saunders and I start and end with the topic of fear, but we were led to some full and rich discussions about the journey around it ,through it and beyond it. The more we talked the more I was challenged with how I dealt with fear, convicted for how I let fear stop certain things, and compelled to keep going and do it afraid…whatever it is. Join us for this conversation that I pray just may change your life.
