#48. Creating Your Superhero Self w/ James Alexander

James Alexander is model, content creator, coach, fitness trainer, founder of Balm retreats & star of the UK TV show “Written in the Stars”.

James grew up a very free child on a compound in the Saudi Arabian desert, until the pressures of young adulthood pushed him into the golden handcuffs of the corporate world. 

But, sick of feeling miserable & trapped in his office job, he left this prison of “perceived safety” to go out on his own & create a life of purpose & fulfilment.

He now runs a retreat business in Bali, combining astrology with health & wellness, which he founded to help others create a life of travel & happiness.
