With raw honesty, she explores the emotions that resurfaced, from self-doubt to nostalgia, and how her early life choices shaped her identity. Alessandra reflects on the mental health conversations that have blossomed through her podcast, childhood memories that echo into adulthood, and the complicated trust we place in authority figures as we become parents. From relationships to relinquishing control in motherhood, she shares insights on growth, fear, and self-acceptance in a world that often demands perfection.
