Hi, welcome to Cheers. I'm your host, Avery Woods.

Hi, Alexa. How are you? I'm doing great. How are you? I'm so happy you're here because you're a comfort person for me. Oh my gosh. You and I have known each other for a while. A while. We met at that poppy brand trip. That was the first time in Hamptons in 2023. Literally. And can I tell you that was my first big branch trip I ever went on. And we both got there a day early. So the branch of started the next day. And at that point in time, I hadn't seen your content yet. Like, you know, you see familiar faces. Yeah. And you were waiting in line in front of me at the bar. And you, like, turned around and saw me and you were like, your outfit is so cute. Like, where's your outfit from? And I was not feeling confident that day at all. Did not feel cute. And, like, this beautiful girl turns and compliments me. And I was like, that literally just gave me the confidence to be on this brand trip and feel like I belonged. And then I remember that night, me, I was with my

best friend Nicole. and compliments me. And I was like, that literally just gave me the confidence to be on this brand

trip and feel like I belonged. And then I remember that night, me, I was with my best friend, Nicole, we like looked you up and watched all your videos and were like, wait, we're obsessed with her. Oh my God. And then after that, I was like, wait, you're my vibe. We had so much fun that trip. And then I feel like since then, we just always ran into each other and kept the friendship going. One of my questions was I was going to ask what your first impression of me was.

Oh, that was it.

And it was before I ever... ever there. I feel like since then we just always ran into each other and kept the friendship going. One of my questions was I was going to ask what your first impression of me was. Oh, that was it.

And it was before I ever knew you were a content creator, like literally just random.

Like I feel like I got to see how you are just as a person, how you treat people not in a work environment.

Because you didn't know I was on the trip either.

We were there early.

So I always say when people talk about you, I'm like, she's the best.

And you just make people feel so good.

Thank you.

I remember you had broken. on the trip either. We were there early. So I always say when people talk about you, I'm like,

she's the best. And you just make people feel so good. Thank you. I remember you had braids.

I did. And I was like, her braids are so sickening. But I think, like, you have an aura about you. I don't know what it is, but like you exude so much confidence and kindness and you're such a genuine person which as you

know is really hard in this industry to have that totally and I just have adored you ever since and I love

that now that we live in the same area like we're always running into each other at different places

and I'm like you're my comfort person like can I sit by you please and that makes me feel so happy because I also feel like you're the cool kid and every time I see you. And I like, well, like, you're my comfort person to watch too. Yeah. And you're just so successful and admirable. And I just love how you have the confidence to execute your ideas. Like, that's something I'm really working on is like not being embarrassed to see things fail and to just put myself out there more.

And I feel like you're so good at it. And that's why you're so successful. And so every time that you're so kind and want to sit with me and hang out with me, I'm like, oh, my girl. Just love seeing you. Thank you. Honestly, that like means a lot to me because it's it's hard to do what we do and you know have the opinion of strangers

that I've never met you but as I've grown and matured and become more mentally stable yeah

the only opinion that matters to me are the people that know me and so when it's from someone
