{INTERVIEW} Learning to Let People In (When You’re Used to Being Strong) w/ Alex Bradberry

What happens when life forces you to stop carrying everything alone?

In this honest and deeply human conversation, I’m joined by Alex Bradberry, the Founder of The Sparkle Bar in Scottsdale, AZ, to talk about what it really looks like to let people in — especially when you’ve built your identity around being strong, capable, and self-sufficient.

Alex shares how a cancer diagnosis became a turning point in her life — not because it defined her, but because it revealed something so many high-achieving women struggle with: the belief that we have to handle everything ourselves.

Together we explore:

✨ why strong women often struggle to receive support✨ the hidden weight of doing life alone✨ how vulnerability creates deeper connection (not weakness)✨ what it looks like to allow community to show up for you✨ why we don’t have to wait for a crisis to start letting people in + taking care of ourselves

This conversation isn’t about waiting for life to fall apart before asking for help or caring for you. It’s about learning from women who’ve gone before us — and choosing connection, honesty, and support now.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be able to carry it all… this episode is a gentle reminder that you were never meant to.
