Some people are born storytellers. And some of those people have magical, lyrical voices that transport you instantly.
Such is Alexx Stuart. You might already know her as the wellness maven and recipe Queen behind Low Tox Life, but this convo takes the story further -- back to childhood, right to the heart of who she is, and everything she's learned about life as a changemaker.
Alexx shares how her city-based life growing food on her balcony and making consciously considered choices has led to social success. In her words: “Social success is about doing more for the world than what it gives to us. Deeply held success really comes when it’s not just about looking after yourself but when you’ve committed to something bigger."
Join us in this convo about questioning authority, building community, supporting mental health and making change in joyous, positive and peaceful ways.
