The Basic Bitch Podcast

Hi, I’m Alex and this is my living library of remembering.

This podcast isn’t about healing in general. It’s about the countless ways I betrayed my own passion, knowing and self & how I’ve clawed my way back. Healing is just the mechanism.

The real story is remembering who we are and finding the courage to live it.

Listen to the podcast

What is it

It’s my record of what happens when you betray your deepest passion, live on autopilot and decades later you crash so hard you can’t avoid yourself anymore.

I spent years ticking the boxes and curating a perfect life - identity, career, marriage, house by the sea - until a panic attack blew the lid off everything I thought was “normal.”

What followed wasn’t a glow-up. It was a system crash, a remembering.

Every episode is me pulling one thread from that unraveling - showing how the invisible definitions, fears and beliefs shaped my choices & how I’m clawing my way back to what I knew at six years old: that I was always meant for stories, movies and creation.

I don’t share as an expert. I share as proof.

Proof that numbness, panic, fear and breakdown are not the end, they’re the breadcrumb trail back to yourself.

Who Am I

I’m Alex and I don’t have all the answers. Through this work I am documenting what I knew in my whole being before I forgot. I'm documenting the unfolding of a consciousness moving from collapse to remembering to becoming (you can find me in the becoming phase 🔮)

And so,

I've created the the only podcast you’ll hate - because it tells you you’re the problem ... and also the solution.

This podcast is me sharing the shit I’ve had to unlearn and the truths I’ve stumbled into along the way. I don’t share as a teacher, but as proof that even when you think you’re “fine,” you might just be carrying too much that isn’t yours.

About Me

Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.

The Listener Journey

This podcast isn’t linear, it’s a map showing you how to become your own compass.

Because, if you:

Stand Still

Just Breathe

You Always Know

Every series is built around a stage of the journey I had found myself in. You might land in any of them depending on where you are and that’s the point.

Choose Your Adventure

For The Rememberer

It's YOU, boo!

Mindset: I’ve tried everything to fix myself, but nothing works.

Pain: Exhaustion from self-help cycles that still leave you feeling unworthy.

Hidden Belief: I’m broken, so I need someone else to save me.

Trigger Moment: Realising no book, guru or checklist has ever given lasting peace.

Breakthrough: I don’t need to know more. I need to remember.

The Shift: Stop fixing. Start remembering.

For The Trapped

the Hidden Defaults

Mindset: I keep seeing my patterns, but I can’t stop repeating them.

Pain: Constant frustration - knowing what’s wrong but feeling powerless to change.

Hidden Belief: If I try to do things differently, I’ll lose love, safety or belonging.

Trigger Moment: Realising the same fights, jobs or behaviours keep looping.

Breakthrough: Understanding your patterns are programmed, not permanent.

The Shift: When the same wall keeps showing up is actually a mirror.

For The Autopilot

the Basic Basics

Mindset: Yeah, I know, I know. I've heard it all before.

Pain: Life feels flat, numbness and anxiety have become background noise. You've normalised autopilot living, rolling your eyes at familiar words while quietly restless, numb or anxious. The gap between knowing and being makes you feel stuck.

Hidden Belief: This is just who I am. Doing more won't change anything. The world is the problem and it makes me sad.

Trigger Moment: Late-night scrolling, tired of the same bullshit. Another quote pops up Love yourself first. You roll your eyes. Of course. But then why do I still feel shit?

Breakthrough: It’s not that you don’t know enough. It’s that you haven’t seen the hidden rules you've accepted.

The Shift: See what your I Know is hiding.

For The Seeker

the Woo Woo room

Mindset: There has to be more than this… but I don’t want to be delusional.

Pain: I'm torn between curiosity and fear of being “woo-woo".

Hidden Belief: I’ll sound crazy if I believe what I actually feel.

Trigger Moment: A synchronicity, a sign or hearing someone put into words what you secretly knew.

Breakthrough: Your inner knowing is valid. The universe has receipts.

Path: Permission to believe what you feel.

For The Decoder

Art as a Teacher

Mindset: I feel things deeply, but I don’t know what to do with it.

Pain: Writing off passions, obsessions or art as “just entertainment.”

Hidden Belief: What I love isn’t serious, it doesn’t mean anything.

Trigger Moment: A movie, lyric or piece of art stirs something too real to ignore.

Breakthrough: Your fascinations aren’t random. They’re breadcrumbs back to yourself.

Path: Your "obsessions" aren’t random, they’re a map.
