  • Welcome to episode one!!! This past year was a tough one. On this episode I get vulnerable about how hard divorce was, when I hit rock bottom, and being able to move on. And remember, rock bottom is a great foundation to build new. :)

    Easy to be "not built for a 9-5 desk job" when your family are millionaires and you have an enormous safety net. So tired of hearing this "entrepreneur" nonsense. Some people need next months rent or they will be out on the street so they can't go play business mogul.

      Correct. They flaked out on a content they agreed to do this was the nail in the coffin on the decision to not renew their upcoming contracts. EVERYONE gets renewed unless you are a cancer. Even drunk outcast Carl from Chicago got renewed.

    I’m a huge AB fan but Alex, the last 1 year of your podcasting has evolved around your ex husband and new BF . You can name it just Alex but I can’t remember the last time it hasn’t been about who you’re in a relationship with . First 6 months of mean girls was awesome, fun ! No more therapy sessions !

    I don’t blame your Ex for Not Giving you a Dime! You wasted years of his Life, while Screwing Him Over, falsely Agreeing on a Path in Life, that YOU Changed! You Flipped HIS World Upside Down! Whatever you made Money Wise, you should get to Keep, but you shouldn’t be entitled to his Hard Earned Money (or his Generational Family Money) after Deciding to Divorce Him, after Making him move Halfway Across The US!

    Alex, so happy for you. Oklahoma women are strong, tough, and mavericks by nature. "Boomer Sooner". My parent were Okies and they ventured to Idaho to homestead like their grandparents before them. I have ventured to a new frontier. Just live to the fullest of what makes you happy. Love this new podcast. Thank You.

    Everyone mourns and grieves the loss of a marriage differently so anyone who is judging you needs to keep it moving. As someone who went through a divorce at 27 I can totally relate to the dissociation part that you talked about. It took me years to forgive but there was infidelity in mine so a little different but nonetheless divorce is like a death. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Glad you had a strong support system. Alex I love you & hope you don’t take this constructive criticism wrong -only saying as a Mean girl follower too…you don’t have to give us intimate details going forward with your new relationship. We love tea obviously but we don’t need to know about the sex stuff like we did with Graham. Anyway I had to say it out of love-wishing you so much peace.

    I love this so much. I think when you receive hate for this type of video it’s because the person didn’t experience something like this. They haven’t had this type of trauma. For me, I felt everything you said so deeply. Alex, you’ve been through so much but you’re doing it. You’ve climbed out of your dark hole and are an inspiration to those of us who are still climbing. I cannot wait for more episodes to be released. 🤍

    Alex Cooper should send you a cease and desist because you copy to the point where you are completely devoid of originality.

  • @lknsail
    @lknsail 2 місяці тому +1

    Alex, there are a million pretty "influencers" out there already and as others have said, copying Alex Cooper or Alix Earle, is pointless. Go for what Barstool taught you--authenticity. When you trained with Leo for Rough and Rowdy, that was your highest peak at Barstool. Why? Because you went outside your comfort zone while staying true to yourself. People rooted for you. As Leo told you "The girl you're fighting will bleed the same as you, train the same as you, and be no different than you. Your biggest competitor is yourself." I wish you had done a documentary on the New York fight scene, sharing stories of the trainers, fighters, brotherhoods/sisterhoods, and culture. No one could tell that story from the blonde Oklahoma perspective except you. You put yourself in their world and met them halfway to learn what they go through. You showed respect. You showed empathy. I bet you could pull off a better docu-series on that culture more than anyone else. Same for NASCAR. You're different than Alex Cooper in that way. We don't need another pop culture podcast talking about reality TV gossip. We need someone to tell stories of real humans, but those real people only want to talk to someone who has put the boxing gloves on, drove the race car, and showed that they "get it" and respect them. The world is full of gossip talk. Get back to your roots. No one expects a pretty girl to get their hands dirty. But they haven't met Alex from Oklahoma yet. Best wishes

      Barstool limits the adverts and brand deals they can do while working under the company. Maybe you should do some research about how influencers make money before you attempt to hate on someone who just shared a lot of personal information.
