Lex Appeal

In this episode, I open up about the part of my pageant journey that wasn’t so shiny. I talk about heartbreak, toxic relationships, and how chasing perfection left me feeling completely lost. This chapter of my story is about healing, letting go, and learning that confidence doesn’t come from a crown. Follow me on Instagram: @alexismcraewhite Follow me on TikTok: @alexismcraewhite

This week, I’m taking you behind the crown to the borrowed gowns, the spray tans, and the chaos that came with chasing a dream I didn’t even realize I had. What started as a tribute to my Nana, a former Miss Tennessee, turned into a defining chapter of my life. This is Part 1: where the sparkle began.

In this episode, we're listening back on an episode from 2022. I share about how finding joy doesn't always mean chasing big moments, it's about noticing the small things that make life feel good again. I share how reconnecting with my favorite people, routines, and memories helped me find real peace after burnout. This conversation is about choosing joy in the middle of chaos and l...

If you grew up being called “so responsible” or “self-sufficient” before you even hit kindergarten...this one’s for you. In this episode, Lex dives into eldest daughter energy: where it comes from, how it shows up, and why it’s not something to fix, but something to finally redefine. Expect honest reflections, a few laughs, and a collective sigh of relief from every eldest daughter who’s just a li...

What started casual got complicated...in the best possible way. In Part Two, I’m sharing how August and I went from “friends with benefits” (let’s just call it what it was) to falling in love, getting honest about what shifted, and how something that wasn’t supposed to be serious turned into everything.

Every love story has a beginning and ours kicks off with the very first time we met (spoiler: not as glamorous as you’d think) and those first couple of hangouts that set everything in motion. In Part One, I’m spilling the details on how August and I went from casual encounters to realizing that maybe, just maybe, this was the start of something bigger.

There’s more than one version of a full life. Here I’m talking about the peace I’ve found in being biologically kid-free, the hard parts, the surprising blessings, and the freedom in knowing it’s okay to write your own story. It’s not about choosing less, it’s about choosing different. And maybe that’s the real secret to living life on your own terms. Follow me on IG: @aleximcraewhite Follow me on...

Apparently half of Chattanooga thinks we called off the wedding… which is news to me. 🙃 The truth? We just hit pause and picked a new date that actually makes sense for our lives (and my Tennessee football schedule, obviously).

Okay besties… after ghosting my own podcast (oops), I’m back and so much has changed.

The first thing people ask me since I got engaged? “So… are you changing your last name?” Spoiler: nope. In this episode of Lex Appeal, I’m talking about planning a wedding in your 30s, why I’m keeping the name I’ve built my whole life with, and what it really means to shake up tradition in 2025. Consider this your reminder that being a modern bride isn’t about following rules, it's about wri...
