September Hello: The Next Chapter of Take A Chance On You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A quick one from me the host Alexandra, no guest, just a welcome back as we head into the final stretch of 2026. In this episode I reflect on the year so far, say thank you to the community that’s grown with the show over the last 18 months, and share where Take A Chance On You is heading next. The mindset never changes: a space for founders, entrepreneurs, creatives and young talent to explore their stories. But we’re opening the floor wider, collaborating with brands across sport, wellbeing, b
Learning To Support Yourself: The Journey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I haven’t always had the support. I haven’t always had someone in my corner saying you can do this.” So, Alexandra has learned to give that to herself. Being a business owner is for the most part a solo journey. Being a leader takes courage and self-reflection. It can be very lonely at times.

Read excerpt
That’s been one of the hardest lessons for Alexandra. When you’re building something, a business, a career, a mission, you have to be selective. Not everyone sees what you see.

That’s the work that happens before the room.And when people do
Feedback Isn’t the Problem - It’s the Ten Seconds After (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody actually likes feedback. Be honest do you? Alexandra has learn't feedback isn’t the problem. What she does in the ten seconds after receiving it is what counts. Alexandra believes not running from it, flipping it around instead. Turning every piece of hard feedback into a development question. “You’re not good enough at public speaking” becomes: Do I hire a coach? Find a mentor? Get myself in more rooms to practise? Preparation and practice are everything. Because the moment feedback beco
Move Your Body, Clean Your Brain Exercise & Sleep Secrets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A simple, science-backed reminder from this Axolt conversation: start moving, and a lot sorts itself out. In this clip, Axolt makes the case for movement as the lever you actually control, lower cortisol, better sleep, better blood flow, a brain running at the top of its game, with the lymphatic system clearing toxins as you go. And a neat reframe: “working out” sounds like a chore, but working while you move? Not a fitness lecture, just a grounded nudge to focus on what’s in your control. Liste
