Hey there, Boss Moms! Today, we’re diving into something BIG. You know that feeling when you’re juggling life, business, and maybe a few side projects, and you start wondering, “How do I keep all these plates spinning without dropping one?” Yeah, same here.
That’s why I’m so excited to talk about Alexi Panos, a transformational coach, thought leader, and conscious content creator who’s all about blending personal growth with real-life practicality. She’s not a mom (yet), but trust me, her advice is GOLD for anyone trying to build a meaningful life and a thriving business.
Let’s break it all down in a way that’s super approachable and filled with nuggets of inspiration you can use right now.
Who Is Alexi Panos?
If you’ve heard of Alexi, you already know she’s a powerhouse. If not, here’s the scoop: Alexi is all about making personal development less stuffy and more accessible. Think: ancient wisdom meets a modern, practical twist.
She’s a thought leader, an artist, and someone who takes BIG ideas and turns them into bite-sized inspiration you can actually use. Alexi’s mission? To bring transformation to the mainstream and help people step into their greatness.
Building a Business Around Life
Alexi and her husband, Preston, have built a global transformational business that inspires people worldwide. The kicker? They’ve done it while keeping their lives and values front and center.
For Alexi, it’s not about choosing between a thriving business and a meaningful personal life—it’s about designing both to work together.
Here are her top tips:
- Get Clear on Your Priorities
Ask yourself what really matters. Alexi and Preston wanted time freedom and the ability to travel. So, they set up their business to support that, instead of letting the business run their lives. - Plan for the Future You Want
Even though they don’t have kids yet, they’re already planning their business around the family they want to have. From streamlining their processes to building a supportive team, it’s all about making space for what’s to come. - Remember: It’s Not Either/Or
You don’t have to choose between being an awesome business owner and having the personal life you crave. With some strategy and support, you can have both.
The Secret Sauce: Community
Alexi didn’t grow her global community overnight, and she didn’t do it by accident. She showed up, gave value, and built real relationships. Here’s how:
- Be Consistent: Alexi started creating high-quality, free content on a regular schedule. Every week, she shared videos that were relatable and easy to digest.
- Engage Authentically: She connected with her followers, thanked them, and made them feel seen. That personal touch built loyalty.
- Start Small, Grow Big: Her tribe grew because people felt connected to her mission. Over time, her consistency and authenticity turned her audience into a global movement.
Humanity, Purpose, and Why It All Matters
Alexi shared something that hit me right in the feels: true transformation starts inside. It’s not about chasing fulfillment through external things like career, relationships, or money. It’s about getting clear on who you are and what lights you up.
Here’s the game-changer: when you work on yourself, you start seeing how you can impact the world around you. Transformation isn’t just personal—it’s global.
So, if you’ve been feeling stuck or wondering how to balance it all, take a page from Alexi’s book. Get clear on your purpose, align your business with your life, and remember that growth starts with you.
The Connection Between Contribution and Fulfillment
One of the things Alexi shared that really stood out was how important contribution is to our sense of purpose. She explained how many of us start by seeking fulfillment through external projects, whether that’s environmental activism, community work, or global initiatives.
Here’s the magic: When we contribute to something bigger than ourselves, it often reflects back what we need to learn about who we are.
For Alexi, spending time in Africa with her nonprofit taught her that fulfillment doesn’t come from money, fame, or even career milestones. Instead, it’s about tapping into something that feeds your soul—a realization that shaped her entire approach to life and business.
Why Being Real Matters
Have you ever been told, “You’re just so real”? Alexi gets that comment a lot, and it’s something many of us in the Boss Mom community resonate with. But what does being “real” actually mean?
Alexi explained that so many of us, especially women, are conditioned to believe we’re not “enough.” Whether it’s not being polished enough, professional enough, or confident enough, society has a way of chipping away at our authenticity.
But here’s the truth bomb: When you stop trying to fit into someone else’s mold and fully embrace who you are, life becomes easier—and a lot more fun.
Alexi shared, “When you align with who you really are, everything that’s meant for you—your people, your opportunities, your happiness—will find its way to you.”
Creating Spaces for Transformation
One of Alexi’s passions is creating spaces where people can feel safe to be themselves. Whether it’s her workshops, membership programs, or her global Soul School community, her goal is to unite people who are transformation nerds just like her.
In today’s digital world, finding your tribe has never been easier. Facebook groups, online memberships, and social media communities allow us to connect with people who “get” us—whether it’s other moms who love knitting and sci-fi or entrepreneurs who share your passion for self-growth.
If you’re struggling to find your tribe, Alexi’s advice is simple: Put yourself out there and create the community you wish existed.
A Journey of Transformation
Alexi’s path hasn’t been linear. From starting in the entertainment industry as a teenager to running a nonprofit in Africa, her journey is a testament to following your heart and staying open to growth.
She shared how working in entertainment helped fund her passion projects but ultimately left her craving something deeper. By her mid-20s, she was splitting her time between TV hosting and coaching, eventually building a full-time transformational business that aligned with her purpose.
Finding Love and Alignment
Alexi’s journey also led her to her husband, Preston. Their story is a testament to the power of shared values and mutual vision. When they met, they quickly realized they wanted the same things in life—not just professionally but personally.
As Alexi put it, “When you meet someone who mirrors your vision and supports your growth, everything just clicks.”
Moving Toward What’s Next
Now, Alexi and Preston are planning for the next big adventure: starting a family. True to form, they’re approaching it with intention and openness, balancing their transformational work with the life they’re building together.
Her advice for those juggling big dreams and family aspirations? Set yourself up for success by creating systems, finding support, and aligning your business with your values.
Key Takeaways from Alexi’s Story
- Start with Contribution: Sometimes, giving to others helps you discover more about yourself.
- Embrace Your Authenticity: Stop trying to be what others expect and start owning who you truly are.
- Build Your Tribe: Surround yourself with people who uplift, inspire, and support you.
- Align Your Life and Work: Success isn’t about choosing between career and personal life—it’s about making them work together.
