How Letting Go Made Me Stronger | Kreatures of Habit

How Letting Go Made Me Stronger | Kreatures of Habit

Life isn’t always about control, it's about presence, intention, and learning to respond rather than react. In this episode of the Kreatures of Habit Podcast, Michael Chernow sits down with Alex Silver-Fagan, entrepreneur and fitness expert, to explore how surrendering to life’s unpredictability can lead to growth, clarity, and balance.

Together, they dive into Alex’s transformative journey over the past year, from living nomadically and reconnecting with her spirituality to embracing the balance between strength and softness.

You’ll hear insights on:

-Learning to respond instead of react in everyday life

-The power of intentional living and mindful decision-making

-Connecting deeply with nature and oneself

-Redefining productivity beyond constant hustle

-Building a relationship with God while staying present

Whether you’re navigating big life changes, seeking balance, or just trying to live more intentionally, this conversation is packed with lessons for grounding yourself in a world full of distractions.

If today’s conversation with Alex resonated with you, share it with someone who could use a reminder to slow down and don’t forget to leave a 5-star review to keep these meaningful conversations coming. See you next week, Kreatures!
