At the exact same time, my heart was being scraped over and over to ensure I knew I was bleeding.

I was enraged

and also holding appreciation for the life I manufactured.

That collision changed something I don’t think I’ll ever ulearn.

Girl, this is one of those stories that altered my belief system while I was living it. It completely changed the way I think about hurt, love, friendship, and the stories our brains choose to believe.

Last week was one of the biggest weeks of my year.

I went viral with 3.7M+ views (and counting).

A dance video I was part of reached millions of people.

I couldn’t stop looking at the Instagram alerts. Thousands of comments. Messages from people I hadn’t heard from in years who happened to see it. So much love for witnessing one of the most honest parts of me - dance.

And that shit felt beautiful.

What most people didn’t know was that, just days before, I had learned about some really hurtful things happening behind my back.

I have not quite reached the point of public criticism – like bullying or picking apart what I look like.

But people are watching consistently now.

And I do feel I am being perceived when I walk into spaces that I was once invisible in.

The judgement.

Private criticism.

And watching for what character they might see today - I feel it all.

If I’m hyper aware that day, I tend to “turn on” the character I think they want the most. It’s a way to appease.

Which is a pattern I hate to repeat.

Lately, I’ve been communicated with in this way and I am not sure if this is a way to drop me down a peg or a way to say “hey girl, we see something in you”:

“Oh my gawd is that Alicia”

“Can I have your autograph?”

“Okay Ms. Celebrity”

Just to name a few.

I’m still unsure how to take this.

And I low key feel like it’s creating more separation between me and people versus the connection I want in my life right now.

I also am questioning if this might be passive aggressive jabs that I haven’t learned how to recognize fully yet.

I heard this quote recently that resonated with me.

“I don’t think I am better than you.

You think I am better than you.”

And it’s something that I am intuitively feeling but can’t actually put my finger on.

So I feel myself wanting to retreat to being more silent and quiet while at the same time being on a journey to take up more space and to be seen.

It makes no sense.

And It’s such a wild space to be in - the in between.

If I had it my way, everyone would know they’re the shit, never shrink for being “too much,” and treat themselves like a celebrity.

So here’s to pushing past this stage, never shrinking my shine, keeping my heart for connection, and becoming who I am meant to be.

Because we really are who we think we are.

Your future celebrity ✨,

Alicia

I realized that if I really and truly wanted to hit the Grammy’s stage or book an @adidas commercial then I needed to get over the fact that I’m too old, too fat, too late, and just go for it.

But this journey didn’t start with me walking into a dance class.

It started in my bedroom, stretching a few times a week just to reconnect with my body.

Once that action was consistent, I created a public series called *Kitchen Koncerts*, where I danced to a random song in my kitchen for 30 seconds. I did that about once every two weeks.

Once that was consistent:
I signed up for a concept video shoot.
And after that, I finally stepped into a dance class for the first time in 14 years!

Following through on your dream does not mean GOING ALL IN overnight.
It means starting —and letting every single MF effort count.

Over time, you step into HER:

The woman making the art.
Taking the class.
Going to run club.
Building the business.
Living the dream she kept saying she wanted.

And the payoff for pursuing a postponed dream: means you never have to live with the regret of knowing you had the chance—and waited until it was truly too late.

The life you built is solid and be proud of that.
But don’t you want it fulfilled with everything you said you’d do?

#zerotoanything

Hi 👋🏽 I’m Alicia and I teach “aspiring do it alls” how to follow through on health, wealth, relationship, and creative goals- for good. Learn the skill once-apply it to all life areas. Join the workshop.

And I’ve been through the entire spectrum of emotions.

I’m holding judgement around what I could have done differently but I am also very proud of what I did.

I feel love from people who I haven’t talked to in a while but I couldn’t help notice that the people who I thought to be the first to watch - weren’t.

I feel a sense of completion while also asking myself what’s next.

I am still processing the biggest professional success milestone I’ve ever hit.

It’s real.

And I’ve come to realize that success is incredible but also… this shit is messy AF.

And it’s totally ok.

When my head hits the pillow–Im happy… mostly.

I’m proud.

And I am trying my best to settle into this new identity I call – HER.

But know this: This talk and these words are exactly what I would say if it is the last thing I got to share with the world.

I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity.

Grateful to the selection committee and organizer.

Grateful for my coaches and mentors.

Grateful for the people who attended the TEDx talk live and to the watch party.

Grateful to my mom for ALWAYS being there despite her MS.

Grateful to my husband who told me that I brought a tear to his eye when he was watching me on that stage live out a dream. He is a big part of this story and just doesn’t get enough credit.

I’m grateful for all of YOU who witnessed me become HER in real time.

And so so GRATEFUL to GOD who took over in the moment and allowed this message to be shared with a level of conviction I’ve never experienced! All this glory belongs to him!

AND NOW it’s out in the world for you to watch!!!!

How you can watch/help:

1. Find it linked here.

2. Open and watch the talk in the YouTube app so that you can like and comment. This goes a long way.

3. Share in your group chats, your communities, and yes, your family!!

Like… how did I get here?

I have so much to say about becoming a TEDx Speaker for the first time.

(exhale)

I am a long-story-long person.

So I’m going to need you to grab your cafecito and take a moment on the couch.

Because we love a good beginning, middle, and end.

THAT’S FOR ME

It’s 2018.

I’m sitting in my home office. Navy wainscoting. Freshly decorated.

I had just discovered personal growth stuff.

Books. Podcasts. And the infamous TED Talks.

Something in me had just… opened.

I grab a black dry erase marker and write:

TEDx.

Right under “Life Goals” on my glass board.

I didn’t know why.

I just knew.

That’s for me.

BROWN BANANA, ANYONE?

I went on to book a few motivational talks after that.

And then speaking faded.

Not gone. Just… sitting there.

Like the brown banana on your counter that you keep telling yourself you’ll use.

Overripe.

But if you know anything about bananas…

they get sweeter over time.

And that’s exactly what happened with TEDx.

THE BIG IDEA

Fast forward to 2023.

That’s when I got serious.

I didn’t have:

• a big idea

• credentials

What I did have?

The belief that I could become the kind of person who gets chosen for the red dot.

Enter Cathlyn Melvin. TEDx Coach and Copywriter

A literal word wizard.

She can take your scrambled egg thoughts and turn them into a hard-boiled idea.

No more mess. Solid. Ready to eat.

We worked together slowly and intentionally.

Like turning a jar of honey upside down and waiting… while trusting something sweet is on the way.

Cathlyn and I danced in that in-between space for two years.

She didn’t rush me or force me to create.

In that time, she helped me build and deliver a completely different speech.

A keynote I booked in 2025!

And when it came to TEDx…

I remember telling her that the idea looked strong on paper

but I felt like I was still living inside the story.

It wasn’t ready yet.

And something in me knew:

“Wait. Just a little longer.”

YOU’RE IN!

Subscribe now

Mid-2025, Cathlyn sends me an event:

TEDxMorgan Street Women.

Then follows up the next Monday to make sure I applied.

She didn’t have to… but she did. 🙏🏼

A month later, I got the call from Sybil Stewart while driving home from the vet.

“I’d like to invite you to the TEDx stage.”

And I say, without thinking:

“Shuut up!”

Full Cher Horowitz energy.

She didn’t just meet me in that moment.

She met the 15-year-old version of me who just got told:

You made it.

Those words felt like glitter on New Year’s Day.

Possibility. New beginnings.

I still feel that spike of excitement when I think about it.

SIX MONTHS TO PREPARE

Six months to get it together.

Six months to become someone ready.

Enter Ali Ingersoll.

International Keynote Speaker AKA The Quirky Quad who was assigned as my coach & mentor.

Experienced. Sharp. Not here to play.

And every piece of feedback delivered with care.

The kind of coach you want to make proud.

She didn’t let me hide behind “good enough.”

She pushed.

She edited…even when I didn’t want to… but needed to.

She didn’t just help me build a speech.

She elevated me.

And the talk became more than a learning moment, it was a moment to connect.

Ali, your expertise, coaching, and magic were everything. #grateful

WE did that!

HOURS BEFORE

It was calm.

I did the usual. Hair. Makeup. Dancey-dance.

And headed to rehearsal.

I met the incredible speakers for the first time and rehearsed with Deidre Beacham, who gave me exactly what I needed:

A confidence boost.

And a few key notes:

Look at people.

Emphasize “defined.”

Deidre, I looked at the people and emphasized “defined”! Yay!

PANIC?

About 30 minutes before going on, I felt it.

Not panic. Just a quiet nervousness.

So I sat in a room with the incredible speaker, Cheryl D. Gould, SHRM-SCP.

Put my headphones on.

Played “I love me” by Jay Rhodes on repeat.

And I let myself settle.

Holy shit, it was almost time.

ONE MIN TIL…

I’m in the hallway.

The first speaker is up.

I’m next.

My body starts buzzing.

So I started shaking it out.

And then Alex Dumas, one of the volunteers, looks at me.

I look at him.

And suddenly we’re in a full dance battle!

Thirty seconds of just moving. No thinking. Just joy.

And just like that…

I was back in my body. Regulated.

Alex, this is a core memory for me and I know you were meant to be there.

THE WALK ON

They call my name.

I walk out.

I say to myself “Jesus, move through me”.

Take an exhale. Look at the audience.

And I deliver my opening line…

BLANKED

Somewhere in the talk…

I stopped trying to prove anything. I wasn’t trying to sound smart.

I just became HER –

the version of myself I dreamed of.

the version of myself I saw in my vision for years.

And that’s when it happened…

I felt the energy pulsing around my whole body as I delivered each line.

Every word was something I lived through and deeply believed.

You can’t perform that. That’s embodiment.

And can we talk about the audience?

Their engagement was everything.

So much so,

I forgot an entire section after getting some woohoos. LOL

Thank you to the audience for making the moment less nerve racking. Your energy helped me perform at my best.

DO THE DAMN THING

Toward the end, I finally looked at Ali.

She made this face that read “She’s about to kill this”.

And I thought:

You are one sentence away, Alicia

Deliver it with everything you got and do the damn thing!

So I did.

WALK OFF

As the audience clapped. I clapped for myself too.

Which is honestly the most professional thing I could have done.

Real me, would have thrown my hands in the air and waved them around like I didn’t care.

But I did … care.

so I walked off stage to celebrate.

MOMENTS AFTER

I silently screamed once I was out of view.

I shared excitement with Alex and then looked at Ali.

She nodded like: Yup, you did that.

That was all I needed.

WHAT I DIDN’T EXPECT

People came up to me sharing their dreams.

Their “I’ve been thinking about getting back to [passions]…”

And that’s when it hit me:

I made a real impact.

Not just a speech.

An impact.

It felt purposeful.

And I decided speaking is a medium I want to lean into.

THE NEW IDENTITY

The TEDx experience was incredible from start to finish.

I didn’t just get an opportunity to deliver a big idea to the world.
I had an opportunity to shift identities.

I am completely transformed.

This experience has been life changing and I am forever grateful that I went for it and for every person and opportunity along the way.

THANK YOU’S

Thank you to my husband John Lozano and mom Maggie Flores for your support throughout this process. The way you show up for me every time is something I will never take for granted. I loved our time together.

Thank you Cathlyn for helping me craft the big idea and to Ali for helping me craft and deliver the speech!

Thank you to Sybil and the selection committee for selecting me for this opportunity. You changed my life.

And to the best emcee Deanna Jones for keeping the crowd engaged and ready for us. It’s a HARD job and you made it look so easy!

Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers, and the video production team Bro Code.
I can create an entire article praising the incredible partners of this event. There has truly never been a better team working all together to bring the best event to life. Something was different and I felt it.

Thank you to the incredible audience and VIP’s for your investment in this event. Your energy, your kind words, and the way you showed up for every single speaker did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. I will never forget your energy.

Last and definitely not least,

A HUGE round of applause for the the 2026 TEDxMorgan Street Women SPEAKERS:

Cheryl D. Gould, SHRM-SCP, Danielle Alle, Chelsey Scaffidi, Gehan “G” Haridy-Ardanowski, Tabitha Lewis-MBA, Sonia Daptardar, Daria D. Boulankina, and Dr. Susan Lovelle

To share the stage with all of you was the highest honor. May this experience be your launching pad to everything you want out of this life.

And remember, Zero To Everything, babe!

Half of my day was spent in the airport. The other half was at outback. 🤤If you know me, you know your girl needs her steak and potatas. 😂

Tomorrow is the big day. Thank you to everyone who has checked in and sent well wishes. I wasn’t sure anyone cared and like time and time again, my community- you - show up!

I feel anxious but I’m ready. This has been 8 years in the making. I’ve come a long way as a speaker, a professional, and someone who knows now all of her pain had a purpose.
Good luck to all the speakers tomorrow, especially my TEDx bestie, G!

For those of you who are asking, you can’t stream live since it’s a private conference but I will have a virtual watch party in a couple of weeks so you can see it!

If I am being really honest, TEDx isn’t just for me.

I set out to prove that someone like me could do something like this.

Because I know the shame we carry. The less than feeling that holds us back from going for opportunities that seem out of reach.
We feel we aren’t educated enough or we don’t have the experience people are looking for.

I promise you, that’s all smoke and mirrors.

I know people holding some of the most impressive titles that are just like you and me.

When you see me accomplish big things and going from zero to anything,
I want you to know this – I’m stacking evidence.

Because people need proof.
Proof that it’s possible for them too.
And if that’s what it takes, pos vamonos.

Your Girl,
Alicia

People have been asking me – are you excited?

I’m not.

At least that’s not the feeling that I have at this moment.
I’m ready.
I’m calm.
I’m assured.

Excited is an emotion that’s too high of frequency for me to carry right now. I’m at a neutral frequency with an undertone of anxiety.
Mostly, when I stop to really sit with it. I’m grateful.

Not everyone gets the chance to share their message in this way.
I do.
And I am not taking this moment for granted.

Ok so as of yesterday I was tired! My sleep has been a little off for me so that explains it. The truth is the road to TEDx isn’t very glamorous after you get booked.

You get booked.

You write your speech.

You pick your outfit. You rehearse like a mad-person.

You make the plans to be there. You rehearse like a mad person.

You clear your schedule and rehearse like a mad person.

That’s the process.

In between that time, you think about standing on that red dot a lot.

You visualize what it’s going to be like.

You think through how you would handle a flop or even a standing ovation.

Oh I wish for one of those- the O not the F.

The truth is, your mind is all over the place but it also feels like the moment is very real. It is. It’s happening. The dream is here. It’s no longer living in some-day land.

And that’s incredible.

Alicia

For a long time, I felt like I was begging people to see my unique angle, my specialness.
I could feel the “pick me” energy.

Then I booked TEDx. I had the street cred… but internally it still didn’t feel like enough.

After hosting an incredible workshop with pure magic, action-oriented people in the room, I realized something:

My work IS transformative…
but for the right people.

People ready to lead their lives differently.
People who aren’t hesitating to go for it.
People who want outcomes fast but understand you go slow to go fast.
People who have made the full-body decision to change how they operate their life.
People come into my world looking for an easier way to go Zero to Everything — without it falling apart.

I’ve seen the magic happen when someone follows my process and starts Becoming HER.
It’s subtle.
It’s over time.
But it’s magical.

And I had to come to terms with something:
Not everyone is ready.
Maybe it’s “I know better than her.”
Maybe it’s “I’ll grow alone.”
Maybe it’s “I can’t because of circumstances.”
But none of that is my business.
And most importantly — none of that is about me.

So as I’m in my own Becoming HER identity shift, I’ve adopted a new belief:
It’s safe to reject people who aren’t action-oriented or who don’t support my unique process.
That’s what makes this work special.
If I’m not the right person to help someone become HER, it’s not personal — it’s resonance.
And that leaves my heart open for the right ones.
The ones expanding distribution of their products.
Quitting soul-sucking jobs to start their own thing.
Getting back into physical shape.
Running multiple projects.
Becoming visible online.
Increasing revenue.
Living life for themselves now, not someday.

Thank you to @shopbonitavida for bringing incredible women into my life — you included, Ale. That room helped me realize my work IS valuable and that I’m ready for this next identity.

I’m about to be a TEDx Speaker.
And NOW I’m going to act like it.
Your Girl — HER

I have never been formally diagnosed with a cognitive disability but there are some significant signs.

Like when I was little, I used to get “I”’s on comprehension. It wasn’t until about 3rd grade that my mom had to read out loud to me so that I could “get it.”

As an adult, it still shows up.
When someone tells a joke, “normal people” laugh right away. My laugh is delayed by a second.
It shows up in dance class when I can’t seem to comprehend even easy choreography.
It shows up in the way I communicate when I’m trying to understand something. I will say, “Ok so what you’re saying is…” several times until I get it and you confirm that I get it.
It shows up on Thanksgiving when I have to manage the timing on multiple dishes. I get overwhelmed and revert back to cooking one thing at a time.

All of those moments have something in common.
My brain takes a little longer to process things.

You can imagine how easy it would be for people to assume I’m not that smart. (they do).

And yet… I was selected to give a TEDx talk - with an average .04% of speaker acceptance rate. Which means I’m now standing on a stage with people the world considers very intelligent.

Turns out processing speed and intelligence are not the same thing.

The world might misunderstand your brain, education level, or the way you talk. Don’t let that shrink your ambition or determine the size of the stage you belong on.

Alicia

10 more days,
and I just finished memorizing the speech.

I still have to look at my notes a bit but I think I’m going to be alright.
Of course my biggest fear is choking on stage but even if I do, I’d be able to just talk out my ass on this topic.
The topic is so embodied already that I can absolutely kill time around it.

So here’s the thing- while I think I am supposed to feel nervous, I feel different.

I feel grounded, supported by God, and like this particular moment is made for me.

It’s a VERY strange feeling.

So my doubts do get the best of me sometimes, but the power of this message is stronger.

10 more days.

Of course I believed that I could be the type of person who goes for it.
But when I set this dream 8 years ago I’m not sure I believed I could be chosen.
TBH I picked up and put down this dream more times than I can remember.

Having a coach really helped keep this goal top of mind over the past two years.
I’m sure she got frustrated with me moving through the modules like molasses.
But she stuck it out and kept her belief in me even during the weeks – months I temporarily lost it.

This is a DREAM come true!

In 11 days, I will get the opportunity to speak to the hearts and look into the faces of 100 women.
I get to see my husband out in the crowd watching me speak for the first time (no pressure right babe?)
I get to connect with friends coming to support – it means so much!
And then a few weeks following, it’s posted online for the world to see.

Wow!

If you’re in North Carolina or surrounding states – tickets are linked in bio.

I have proof that you can pursue multiple big goals at the same time.
Without getting overwhelmed. And without burning out.

You’ve been taught to “pick one thing and go all in”, “niche down”, “ focus on the priority”, and
while this well-meaning advice works for some people, for the rest of us?

We don’t want to do just one thing.

You want to design lives that hold all the parts of us. Especially the parts you’ve tucked away in that “some day” drawer.

I hear you when you say: “I wish I could have the time, energy, and the right circumstances to do it all”.

What if I told you that you do?

In this very moment regardless of time, energy, or circumstances have the power to pursue it all.
I’m talking about going zero to everything now, not some day.

I know how this might sound right now.
In these times.
With the amount of work and responsibilities you have on your plate.

I’m not blind to this world and what’s going on around us,
I’m not blind to the fact that you’re tired and overwhelmed with responsibilities.

Respectfully,
I just choose
to hold on to hope,
to joy,
and live
every day.

My freedom to just live life seems like it’s slipping away so I’m not not waiting, and why should you?

This is what I’ll be sharing on the TEDx stage and the one message I want to leave this world.

Especially during these times. Especially when people are losing hope.

Your Girl,
Alicia
