Today we’d like to introduce you to Alicia Lee.
Alicia, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I would find myself always getting stuck when someone would ask about my story. Worrying too much about what someone thought about my story and having the actual guts to tell my story. After answering a special spiritual calling on May 27th, 2019, I knew from that moment forward life was undergoing a challenging yet, beautiful transformation- it was time to tell my story. I have had several therapy sessions and enjoyed the thought of fully expressing myself to a complete stranger and having a fresh pair of eyes analyze experiences/emotions, and provide their knowledge and tools to guide me. Over time, I was no longer able to afford therapy, so my creativity started flowing, I knew I needed a positive outlet I just didn’t have the clarity at the time until my friend randomly texted me; ”You should do a podcast!” That message was a game-changer, I decided to take the same concept of a therapy session and created ’Our Safe Space Podcast’, I discuss my personal development and provide the tools I am using to overcome the challenges. I took a stand that I am no longer standing in my way and was ready to share with women like myself. I realized I was not alone in my journey, there were women that need the motivation I was providing myself.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Absolutely not! I was in between doing spiritual work, understanding my self-worth, and trying to be present for my demanding life. There were times where I would hold myself back from recording certain episodes because I felt like it needed to sound a certain way or someone would judge me, but I constantly told myself other people’s perception of me is none of my business and I am not for everyone which is perfectly okay!
Please tell us more about what you do, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
Our Safe Space Podcast is a tribe for women who need space from their anxiety and taking a moment to just breathe! Being able to share my experiences, thoughts, and feelings for that moment and provide the necessary self-care tools to overcome any challenge allowing my audience to apply when needed.
I am most proud of hearing my audience’s feedback when they share how a particular episode resonated with them because they are dealing with the same challenge but didn’t know what to do about it. I am passionate about helping others reach their fullest potential. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that I am inspiring others while helping myself!
Honestly, what sets me apart from others is- ME! I have such an authentic colorful personality and people naturally gravitate towards that.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Man, listen, I see nothing but greatness for myself! My future plans are to turn Our Safe Space into a show with different types of people who are just as passionate about mental wellness, fulfill my dreams of moving to San Diego, CA to become a fitness model for big brands such as Nike and Under Amor. I want to be able to hear the words; motivational speaker, wellness coach, groundbreaking actress/model when being introduced! I am looking forward to making an everlasting impact on lives that didn’t think that believing in themselves was actually possible.
