Hey Alex,

I have enjoyed following your journey and seeing how you reflect on it through your writing until now.

I adore the way you share your experiences in many ways. Just to name a few:

1: Your writing style and how you evoke emotions on paper.

2: The aesthetics of your visuals remind me of a cross between nonfiction and fiction. I also resonate with the look and feel.

3: You have thought-provoking reflections on your writings and books.

4: The above aspects give me a sense of you as a person. Even without reading the author's name, I can identify you.

A further thought:

1: I would be very interested in seeing a project on fiction.

If it is for the Untethered mind, maybe you can decide. ;)

Thanks so much Alexandra! Great points. Good call on the fiction - I really want to. I just started a new Substack called 'Story Cabin' that I hope will motivate me to write fiction more regularly.

Hi Alex,

I’m particularly enjoying articles about managing anxiety and all the self help stuff generally. I sometimes pass on to my teenage sons as valuable knowledge for life. Thank you! 🙏🏼😊

Hi Alex, your writings are motivational and if possible I’d like to see content that relates to women too, as why not :)

Alex, in all of the years we've sustained our online relationship, I'm pleased to say we've never had an argument and seem to constantly support each other's growth. What matters most is you live your words. What matters more is you have not slipped into some kind of ChatGPT coma. Thank you for working every day on communication skills because it's harder than we all know to communicate well and bring out the stories in others.

Good Morning, Alex,

1.) relentless striving for upgrade & refinement

2.) Iterations

3.) sense for opposites' open wounds

4.) mindfulness and relevant aspiration to help

5.) no fear to openly share own faultiness

6.) team building exercises

7.) at times NOT brief, partly winding and exhausting.

Txs a lot, be good,

Namasté Joe-Kwame

Your emails always contain nuggets that remind me how to stay on track. I appreciate the consistency. Perhaps short challenges of to do lists Right Now, would help me.

Every time I turn around Ive signed up for an additional Alex offering. So much so that I now cant keep the titles and the “mastery courses” straight. You seem to be everywhere! Thats not a criticism. Its a YAY YOU. Im just feeling like Im swimming in Alex soup and would love to find the shore. Got a person or even a bot who’s keeping track of your various lists of offerings and fans to see how many are signed up repeatedly. It feels a bit overwhelming and confusing.

Thanks Peggy! It's unlikely I'll be publishing less any time soon, but do let me know the precise challenge you need help with.

I love to see your name in my inbox because I know your writing will have something that will enlighten me or help with something that is currently tumbling around in my head. I have subscribed to/followed many others throughout the years, but their posts are usually overwrought with unhelpful platitudes and cliches. Yours are not--your perspective is unique; so, thank you. I wish I could right now afford more interaction like coaching.

I love the insights you offer in helping me be my best self. Most notably, how to challenge negative self-talk ( thoughts, too) and other habits that limit my mindset & my energy. Thank you!
