   The Loneliness of Entrepreneurship (And How We Survive It)

   In this season finale of Dtermined AF, Alexis closes out Season 2 with someone who knows her best, her lifelong friend and fellow entrepreneur, Jocelyn Vassos. Jocelyn isn’t just Alexis’s BFF; she’s a powerhouse running two thriving businesses: a sought-after wedding photography studio in the Berkshires and a catering company that booked out in less than two years . But more than her résumé, Jocelyn represents the lifeline every entrepreneur needs, the voice on the other end of the phone who gets it when the weight of building something on your own feels like too much. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Alexis and Jocelyn pull back the curtain on: The invisible loneliness of entrepreneurship (and why no one talks about it) The lifelines, friends, routines, and rituals that keep us sane Freedom vs. structure, and what it really takes to build a business that lasts How community, even when it feels terrifying, changes everything This isn’t an interview. It’s the kind of conversation usually kept behind closed doors, two women navigating ambition, burnout, growth, and what it really means to keep showing up when you feel like tapping out. As we wrap Season 2, this episode is both a love letter and a reminder: you don’t have to do this alone ❤️ Special thanks to Jocelyn Vassos (https://www.instagram.com/dearedithandlily).

   PTSD, Photography & Permission to Feel: Amanda’s Wake-Up Call

   In this episode of Dtermined AF, Alexis sits down with Amanda Battle—an underwater photographer, free diver, and founder of Women of Water—to explore what healing really looks like when traditional methods fall short and your soul craves something deeper. After years of living with PTSD, Amanda turned away from the noise of the world and dove headfirst—literally—into the ocean. What she found wasn’t just peace, but power. Through breathwork, free diving, and the quiet magic of the sea, Amanda began to rebuild herself. And now, she’s using her camera and her voice to help other women do the same. In this raw and moving conversation, Amanda opens up about the invisible weight of trauma, the loneliness of recovery, and the radical self-acceptance that comes when you stop performing and start feeling. She shares how Women of Water became more than a creative project—it’s a global movement helping women reconnect to their bodies, their stories, and the wild strength within. We dive deep (pun intended) into nervous system regulation, the myth of “getting over it,” and why the healing we need often lives far outside four walls. If you’ve ever felt broken, burned out, or just plain stuck—this one will move you. Special thanks to Amanda Battle (https://www.instagram.com/oceansoflovephotography/) — Follow her journey and the Women of Water project to witness healing in motion. Dtermined AF is your weekly permission slip to get real, get raw, and rewrite your story. Hosted by Alexis—multi-6-figure mentor, truth-teller, and hype woman for your next chapter—this podcast lights a fire under your fear and fuels your f*ck yes. 🎧 New episodes every Monday. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @dtermined.af (https://instagram.com/dtermined.af) Hosted on Acast.

   Finding Your Voice with Trang Nova: From Silence to Self-Discovery

   In this episode of Dtermined AF, Alexis sits down with Trang Nova—a former physiotherapist turned international speaker and transformative coach—for a deep, no-BS conversation about finding your voice, breaking cultural norms, and choosing to live a life that’s fully, unapologetically yours. Trang opens up about the quiet ache that came from playing it safe, the pressure of living up to external expectations, and the moment she realized that settling was silently stealing her joy. She shares how she walked away from a stable career to chase alignment, purpose, and a platform that lets her speak her truth—and help others do the same. This isn’t a fluffy “follow your dreams” episode. It’s about the real, messy, courageous work of reclaiming your identity, unlearning the rules you never agreed to, and rewriting the story you’re meant to live. Together, Alexis and Trang explore the impact of cultural conditioning, the power of micro-shifts in communication, and the ripple effect of showing up authentically in your everyday interactions. They talk about voice—literal and metaphorical—and what it means to finally use it after years of staying small to keep the peace. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you should be and who you really are, this one will hit deep. It’s raw. It’s reflective. And it’s your reminder that your voice was never meant to stay quiet. 🎙️ Special thanks to our guest Trang Nova—Click here (https://www.instagram.com/trang_nova/) to follow her journey and connect. Dtermined AF is the no-filter podcast for people done with playing it safe.
