251: Coffee Talk with Alicia Hopkins

Todays episode is a coffee talk with my friend Alicia Hopkins. Alicia Hopkins is the host of the Wake Up Call podcast, a show that helps others break out of living a good on the outside life and connect to the one they want.  Alicia’s experience with crippling anxiety was the wakeup call that forced her to take a closer look at her life and the way she was living it.  She is passionate about helping women reconnect to their intuition and sense of self, leaving behind things like perfectionism and people-pleasing.  Alicia works in healthcare sales, is a life coach, and lives in Sarasota, FL with her husband, Marcus and cat, Bear.   Transcript: Welcome to The Art of Living big. I’m your host, Betsy Pake. I’m an author, speaker, a master hypnotherapist and NLP coach, and I help high achievers rewire for success. If you’re ready for the next level, you’re in the right place. Over the next 30 minutes, I hope to help you redefine what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hey, hello, welcome fellow adventurers. Alright, so a couple quick things before we dive into today’s show. The first is, I know the episode was Sara Blakely I was breathing or whatever, my microphone is too close to my face. I’m trying to fix it. And I have a very kind, wonderful person that reached out and was like, I might be able to help you. So I apologize, this episode so much better, there will be no swallowing, I promise. Secondly, usually when I do an episode, like I literally just have a topic and I shut my eyes. And then I just talk. So usually there’s no editing, you know, like, I’m not going back and forth. And editing anything. This interview was, is amazing. It’s not really an interview, it’s I wanted to have a co host, I wanted to know what it would feel like to have a co host, like if I had my own radio show. And so I asked my friend, Alicia to come on and be a co host, I thought maybe I would do some series on this, you guys will really have to let me know if you like this. It was really, really fun for me. But if it’s not your jam, then please let me know. So but because there are some things, we start talking about that. I’m just like, I’m just not ready to talk about those things. And I am really open. I think I share a lot of things, but I had a pretty mystical experience. And first of all, I think it deserves its own show. And second of all, I didn’t I started talking about it. But then it was like too difficult to only give you part of the story like it almost didn’t make sense. So just hang with me, you’ll hear me slice and dice in a couple spots. I do pop in and just say hey, this is where I’m slicing and dicing. But just hang with me. I don’t think it’ll affect the show. It’s only a couple little parts. But you’ll hear what I mean when we get to it. So anyway, I really hope you like this week’s show. I’ll see you all soon. Hello, hello. Welcome to the show fellow adventures.
