    My Life: The Newsletter: ⁠https://substack.com/@alexelaminchica...This week, I’m breaking down the toxic fairy tale of Carrie and Mr. Big and why situationships—like the one I’ve been navigating—are the worst thing for our hearts (and our confidence). We’re talking about:

    • The Carrie Bradshaw effect and why she was never the blueprint.

    • How to break the cycle of mixed signals and half-love.

    • The emotional rollercoaster of being “almost” chosen.

    • Your Ask Alex questions on love, dating, and knowing when to walk away.

    If you’ve ever been caught up in a “what are we?” situationship or wondered if you were asking for too much (you’re not!), this episode is your sign to put your crown back on.

    In the Season 3 premiere of Literally My Life: My Guide to Girlhood, I’m opening up about what it means to chase your dreams while quietly healing from heartbreak — the kind that leaves you crying in nail salons and still showing up like nothing’s wrong.

    We’re talking about being seen as a person instead of a possession, choosing boundaries over breadcrumbs, and finding strength in softness.

    This isn’t about perfection. It’s about permission — to feel, to grow, to glow.

    Tune in for an honest convo on career, heartbreak, and the rebirth of girlhood.

    💿 New era. New episode. Same girl, but different.

Storefront: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/literally... ⁠https://substack.com/@alexelaminchica...This episode is so close to my heart. I sat down with Aashyrah and Bree to talk about everything we wish we knew growing up—girlhood, confidence, friendships, heartbreak, and just becoming that girl in our own way. If I could write a letter to my younger self or speak to every little sis out there trying to figure it all out… this would be it. We laughed, got vulnerable, and kept it all the way real. I hope you feel seen and heard after listening. You’re never alone in this.
