Alex Mabey. I’ve always been a singer, a songwriter, a dancer, an outdoorswoman, a dreamer, and a do-er; with a zest for life that couldn’t be stopped. 12 years ago, my body took a halt when I could probably list out 20 symptoms I was dealing with; chronic neck pain, daily migraines, fatigue, brain fog, depression, skin infections, to name a few. I couldn’t get out of bed for days, it got so bad. After time, it wore my spirit down and I walked a dark, unseen road that no one ever plans; poor health and also a failed young marriage. I know the reality of a broken world and am here to tell my story in that and the surprising beauty I also found. Now I’m healed and I’m free. I get to pursue my dream that has been long fought for and because of that my fire burns stronger.

I want to bring you hope and perspective in whatever you may be facing, as I always prayed that my darkest nights would bring some awesome light to others someday so we all get to shine.
