Alexis, thank you for changing the trajectory of my life. Your mentorship, your friendship, and your belief in me means the world.

Alexis deserves to be a star on the biggest and best national platform. She’s destined for great things.

But most of all, I just love my friend. I’m so grateful to have her in my life. She has been invaluable. It’s an honor to

If you combine Tabitha Brown’s warm energy, Ms. Frizzle’s excitement for teaching, and Drew Barrymore’s boundless enthusiasm, you’d have Alexis. I want everyone to know what those of us in the Twin Cities already know:

While Alexis Thimpson doesn’t work in podcasting directly, without her, I wouldn’t be working in podcasting at all. So, let me tell you a quick story

Hall of Fame week concludes! I’m taking time to shine a spotlight on those who have been instrumental in helping me become a Hall of Fame podcaster & also supported my journey to build Matriarch Digital Media.

And last, but absolutely not least, let’s talk about @lexandthecities.bsky.social
