Look At Me Now with Alexis Artin

What happens when you achieve the life you thought you wanted and still feel empty? Entrepreneur and author Brent Freeman joins Alexis for a deeply personal conversation about grief, burnout, identity, self-worth and the joy we keep postponing until "one day." Brent opens up about losing his mother as a child, tying his identity to his businesses, and reaching a crisis despite appearing successful from the outside. He shares how watching a sunset helped him reconnect with himself and inspired a promise to make room for joy every day. Together, they explore listening to your body, taking distraction-free "spirit walks," recognizing the childhood stories that shape adult relationships, and turning insight into daily practice. They also unpack heartbreak, reconciliation, surrender and the question that helped Brent take responsibility for his part in his relationships: "What's mine to own?" Ultimately, the conversation returns to the mirror and the self-love that achievement alone could never give him.

What happens when the place that helps you find your power also becomes a place where you give it away? Hollywood screenwriter Katie Stone joins Alexis Artin for a deeply personal conversation about purity culture, religious trauma, body autonomy, guru dynamics and their shared experiences inside S Factor. Katie opens up about growing up in evangelical Christianity in the South, how obedience shaped her relationship with her body and sexuality, and why a women's pole dancing practice initially felt like coming home. Together, they explore the freedom and belonging they found, the dependence on teacher approval they later recognized, and why genuine transformation can make harmful dynamics harder to see. Alexis reflects on her experience as a creative director and master teacher trainer, the postpartum mental health crisis that exposed cracks in her support system, and the difficulty of leaving a community tied to her income, friendships and purpose.  "If you're an adult woman moving in the world, you have to make your own choices because if you don't someone else will do it for you." — Katie Stone ----- 00:00 — Welcome to Look At Me Now 01:03 — Meet Katie Stone 03:09 — Religious Trauma & Growing Up in Purity Culture 06:08 — Questioning Virginity, Purity & Control 09:30 — When a Childhood Crush Becomes a Message From God 11:34 — Finding Pole Dancing After College 13:12 — Reclaiming Her Body, Intuition & Sexuality 15:24 — Why We Outsource Our Power 16:42 — Overachievement, Obedience & People-Pleasing 18:10 — Naming S Factor & Its Origin Story 22:19 — Alexis's First Class & Permission to Feel Good 24:12 — Finding a Place Where Your Body Belongs 25:10 — The Dance That Changed Alexis's Perspective 27:37 — Katie's First Experience Inside the Studio 29:51 — Guru Mythology & Writing About the Retreats 32:20 — Why a Higher Mission Makes Leaving Complicated 34:44 — Erotic Archetypes & Permission to Feel Anger 36:34 — The Physical & Emotional Journey Through the Practice 39:29 — Teacher Worship & Dependence on Feedback 41:01 — Performance, Vulnerability & the External Gaze 44:00 — Katie Steps Away & Begins Therapy 45:16 — Leadership, Identity & Teacher Burnout 49:37 — Alexis Reflects on The Hollywood Reporter Article 50:35 — Postpartum Struggles & a Breaking Point 55:16 — Resigning & Losing Community 59:29 — Race, Dissent & the Organization's Reckoning 1:03:31 — Why Leaving Meant Rebuilding a Whole Life 1:06:25 — Making Sense of the Experience After Leaving 1:08:35 — Therapy, Grief & Reclaiming Your Choices 1:10:35 — Boundaries, Consent & Choosing to Walk Away 1:14:53 — The Retreat Experience That Changed Alexis's Mind 1:17:55 — You Can Say I'm Done 1:19:01 — Trusting Yourself & Reclaiming Your Inner Compass 1:20:07 — Speaking Publicly, Turning 40 & Helping Other Women ----- Follow Katie Stone @katiejstone91 Follow Alexis @alexis_artin Learn more at AlexisArtin.com Save 50% on any SoulSway experience with code LAMN50 This is an Operation Podcast production

Freezing isn't consent. Saying yes to one person isn't saying yes to everyone. And "be more careful" cannot keep being the answer. In this solo episode of Look AT Me Now, Alexis examines the allegations in a Cornell fraternity sexual assault case and the larger questions they raise about consent, bystander responsibility, and how women are taught to navigate a world that often feels unsafe. Through her own experience of laughing along during a humiliating encounter with powerful television executives, Alexis explores how freezing, appeasing, and going along can become ways of getting through a threatening moment—and why those responses should never be mistaken for agreement. She also reflects on The Accused, the everyday precautions women build into their lives, and what it means to speak up when you're in the room, at the party, or in the group chat. This conversation is about the case—and the culture surrounding it. Content note: This episode discusses sexual assault, rape, harassment, and trauma responses. Please take care while watching or listening. The case discussion addresses allegations and reporting available at the time of recording. Allegations are not findings of guilt. ----- 00:00 Content warning 00:12 The alleged fraternity group chat 00:37 The Cornell case and why language matters 01:36 The allegations and responses 03:26 The Accused and bystander responsibility 05:03 Consent, intoxication, and legal gaps 05:36 Alexis's personal story 06:36 Freezing, fawning, and survival responses 07:02 Why not fighting back doesn't mean yes 07:50 Public outrage and the justice system 08:38 The culture beneath the headlines 09:18 Violence against women beyond one campus 10:12 The everyday burden of staying safe 11:11 The person who broke ranks 11:37 How to interrupt, intervene, and help 12:22 What we teach our sons and daughters 12:43 Releasing the vigilance 13:08 Closing reflection and support resources SUPPORT RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline: 800-656-HOPE (4673) Online support: https://hotline.rainn.org/

The Lindsay Clancy case has become one of the most divisive conversations surrounding postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, maternal mental health, and the way our healthcare system responds to mothers in crisis. In this special solo episode, Alexis examines the Lindsay Clancy trial and the devastating deaths of her three children while asking a larger question: what are we still missing when it comes to recognizing serious postpartum mental health conditions? Alexis breaks down the important differences between the baby blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis, including the symptoms and warning signs of postpartum psychosis and why this rare but serious condition is considered a medical emergency. She also shares her own deeply personal experience with postpartum psychosis and what it was like to struggle while the professionals responsible for recognizing the signs failed to understand what was happening. Rather than asking listeners to choose between compassion and accountability, Alexis explores how two difficult truths can coexist: a mother can be desperately mentally ill while her children still deserve justice. Ultimately, this conversation moves beyond the Lindsay Clancy case to examine the larger maternal mental health crisis, shortcomings in postpartum screening, intrusive thoughts after childbirth, the pressure mothers feel to appear "fine," and what partners, friends, families, and healthcare providers can do to recognize postpartum psychosis warning signs sooner, ask better questions, and help mothers get the mental health support they need before a crisis escalates. ----- 00:00 The Lindsay Clancy case and the unanswered question 00:49 A warning before we begin 01:18 What happened in Duxbury, Massachusetts 02:07 The question at the center of the trial 02:51 Postpartum psychosis or severe depression? 03:48 11 jurors agreed.

What if the relationships that trigger you most are actually revealing the parts of yourself still asking to be seen? Relationship teacher, author and coach Stefanos Sifandos joins Alexis for a deeply vulnerable conversation about childhood trauma, codependency, self-worth, nervous system regulation, grief, shame and the patterns we carry into our adult relationships. Stefanos opens up about growing up in a volatile and abusive household, how infidelity became a catalyst for confronting the person he had become, and why he believes every relationship acts as a mirror. Together, they explore why we shape-shift to earn love, how childhood survival strategies become adult relationship patterns, why loneliness and grief sometimes need to be felt instead of escaped, and what it takes to move from codependence toward healthy interdependence. Ultimately, Stefanos shares how becoming a father has reshaped his definition of success and the legacy he hopes to leave his daughter: knowing she always felt safe with her dad.

Steve White's story is one of resilience, purpose, and what it means to fight your way back when life has stripped away the person you thought you were. After a devastating concussion at 17, followed by additional head injuries, cognitive decline, chronic health challenges, addiction, and periods of profound hopelessness, Steve reached a point where simply continuing became a choice. Today, Steve shares how rebuilding his life began by stripping everything back to the fundamentals: showing up, finding something worth fighting for, accepting help, serving others, and learning to believe that change was still possible. This episode explores why health and healing shouldn't be individual pursuits, how purpose can create gratitude, why cynicism can keep us trapped, the importance of community and a beginner's mindset, and how forgiving yourself can become an essential part of moving forward. Steve also shares the philosophy behind "Hold the Keep"—identifying what matters enough to keep fighting for—and how those lessons ultimately inspired his work helping others build stronger support systems (and how you can too). "We all get knocked down. We all have problems. And all the judgment, all the things that people say… but I got up." — Steve White ----- 00:00 — Welcome 01:43 — When You Stop Believing You Deserve to Be Here 03:13 — You Are Worthy of Love Without Earning It 04:32 — Taking Back Control of Your Life 04:55 — What Does It Mean to "Think on Purpose"? 05:54 — Loss, Addiction & Choosing to Fight 06:55 — "Hold the Keep": Find What You're Fighting For 07:32 — Starting Over From Almost Nothing 08:21 — Turning Gratitude Into a Practice of Purpose 10:15 — Is Caring One of the Healthiest Things We Can Do? 11:41 — How Cynicism Keeps Us Stuck 13:25 — Expecting to Get Better & the Power of a Team 16:07 — Empty Your Cup & Recover a Beginner's Mind 17:33 — Why Steve Uses "Waypoints" Instead of an Endpoint 18:30 — The Concussion That Changed Everything 20:04 — How Steve Says His Personality Began to Change 22:19 — The Moment Steve Stopped Accepting "Manage the Decline" 23:39 — The Four Words That Changed His Direction: "Let's Fight This" 24:26 — Searching the World for a Different Approach 25:28 — Rebuilding Through Community & Asking for Help 27:57 — What Actually Matters When Everything Else Falls Away? 28:50 — Stop Asking Someone Else to Take Control of Your Life 30:58 — Why Every Finish Line Is Another Beginning 32:28 — Moving From Victim Mentality to Possibility 34:03 — Why People Are Afraid to Try 34:48 — Show Up, Try & Finish 35:55 — Why Steve Believes Transformation Requires Going All In 36:49 — Goals vs. Waypoints: Stay on the Path 37:28 — Alexis on Going All In When Your Body Already Has 38:14 — Why Health Is Not an Individual Sport 39:50 — Cynicism, Excuses & Emptying Your Cup 40:27 — Forgiving Yourself for Who You Used to Be 41:17 — The Extraordinary Power of Forgiveness 42:30 — Your Day of Rest Can Also Be Your Day of Dreaming 43:26 — Steve's Vision: Everybody Deserves a Team 44:44 — What If We Trained for Life Like We Train for Sports? 46:12 — Purpose Was Never Supposed to Be Found Alone 46:31 — Why Caregiving Needs a Tribe 48:15 — Steve White's "Look At Me Now" Moment 49:08 — "But I Got Up" 50:11 — Where to Find Steve White ----- Follow Steve @thebrae100 Follow Alexis @alexis_artinLearn more at AlexisArtin.com Save 50% on any SoulSway experience with code LAMN50 This is an Operation Podcast production

What if the moments that look like rejection are actually redirecting you toward the work you were meant to do? Michelle Delamor's path has moved from an unconventional spiritual childhood and living in an ashram, to becoming an American Idol finalist, to creating the social-impact movement No Girl Left Behind, and ultimately co-founding an entertainment studio built around the pursuit of greatness. Michelle joins Alexis for a deeply personal conversation about purpose, resilience, emotional regulation, collaboration, entrepreneurship and the power of creating safe spaces. Together, they explore how Michelle learned to form her own narrative after public rejection, why conviction and relentless outreach can turn a vision into a movement, how mission and sustainable business can coexist, and why playing bigger requires the inner work to withstand greater visibility.  "There's this light and there's a spark.

What if the life you are trying so hard to make safe is actually making you weaker? James Beshara—founder of Magic Mind, angel investor, entrepreneur and student of the Vedanta philosophy—joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about strength, responsibility, grief, entrepreneurship, philosophy and what it means to become the author of your own life. James traces his entrepreneurial lineage back four generations, shares how years of failure and a stress-induced heart condition reshaped his definition of success, and explains the ancient principle that right action is whatever generates energy within you. The conversation turns deeply personal as James opens up about losing his sister to suicide, the lessons his family carried forward, and why some of the hardest experiences of our lives can become sources of service, compassion and strength. Together, James and Alexis explore why safety can become a trap, why clarity requires radical self-responsibility, why peace and prosperity belong together, and how trust, relationships and a clearly defined destination can change the trajectory of a life. James's message is both challenging and liberating: stop outsourcing your power, look at your life clearly, and start from success—then work backwards. "You are the author of your fortune.

What happens when you stop allowing other people's expectations, opinions, and judgments to determine who you are? Actress Erika Christensen joins Alexis for an intimate exploration of self-worth, identity, authenticity, and the experiences that quietly shape the way we see ourselves. Erika reflects on entering Hollywood at just 12 years old and growing up in an industry where appearance, performance, and external validation are part of the job. From being asked to alter her appearance as a teenager to navigating motherhood, aging, beauty standards, and her relationship with her own body, Erika shares how she has learned to separate who she actually is from who the world expects her to be. The conversation goes deeper into Erika's experience with Dianetics and her understanding of the "reactive mind"—how painful experiences can become unconscious fears, assumptions, and behavioral patterns that continue influencing our present lives. This episode explains what happens when past pain becomes identity, why awareness can restore choice, and why the things we believe are "just who I am" may actually be learned responses that can be examined. At its core, this is a conversation about coming home to yourself—and realizing that growth doesn't require rejecting the person you used to be. "You can survive anything when you know who you are, what you believe in, that you don't need other people to validate you, that you are worthy." — Erika Christensen ----- 00:00 — Welcome to Look At Me Now 00:44 — Growing Up in Hollywood 02:07 — Self-Worth and External Validation 05:18 — Discovering Dianetics 07:09 — Understanding the Reactive Mind 09:09 — When Pain Becomes Identity 10:08 — Erika's Personal Experience Confronting Fear 12:11 — Why We Don't Always Know What's Holding Us Back 14:46 — Taking Your Power Back 16:07 — The Soul-Body Paradox 18:14 — How the Past Colors the Present 22:01 — The Truth of Who You Are 24:23 — Social Media vs. "Service Media" 28:53 — Self-Worth Must Come From Within 30:55 — Erika's Experience With Fame 35:11 — Motherhood, Aging and Hollywood 36:13 — Choosing Strength Over Making Herself Smaller 39:11 — Body Hair, Beauty Standards and Confidence 42:35 — Womanhood Without Shame 44:39 — Alexis on Emotional Repression 47:29 — Acting and Authentic Expression 51:41 — Giving Yourself Permission to Be Fully Expressed 52:50 — Breaking Free From the Reactive Mind 56:03 — Trusting Yourself Again 57:01 — Erika's Look At Me Now Moment 58:09 — Why You're Allowed to Change Your Mind 58:56 — Where to Find Erika Christensen ----- Follow Erika @erikachristensen Follow Alexis @alexis_artin Learn more at AlexisArtin.com Save 50% on any SoulSway experience with code LAMN50 This is an Operation Podcast production

Dan Huber went from losing nearly everything during the 2008 mortgage crisis to facing another battle entirely when he and his family developed a mysterious collection of health problems that doctors couldn't explain. Dan joins Alexis Artin for a wide-ranging conversation about toxic mold exposure, blue light, EMFs, sleep, mental health, medical self-advocacy, and the hidden environmental factors that may be affecting our well-being. They also explore the growing mental health crisis among young people, Dan's work with Hope Chain and suicide prevention, the importance of human connection in an increasingly AI-driven world, and why giving ourselves more grace, permission, and forgiveness may be essential to navigating modern life. From losing everything to rebuilding his health and turning adversity into service, Dan's story is ultimately about learning to trust yourself, keep going, and use what you've survived to help someone else. "Congratulations. The expectations others had of you, and more importantly, the negative expectations you had of yourself—you've gotten through all of it.
