Alexandra Gater on Creating Her Dream Life After Crisis

Reroot with Eamon and Bec

Alexandra Gater is YouTube’s go-to home decor expert, an author, and entrepreneur. In today’s episode, we dive into her journey, starting with the “crisis moment” when she was laid off from her dream job and how that crisis sparked her entrepreneurial path. We also discuss her struggles with anxiety, her experiences as a woman in media, and the challenges of balancing career ambitions with personal milestones, like her desire to start a family. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
