Vibrant You

Alex Nashton is a coach specializing in using neuroscience and mindfulness to help you rewire your brain to find freedom from fear and become unstoppable. Alex has spent the last 10 years teaching the highly ambitious how to master their own minds. Six of those years were spent formally studying neuroscience at UCLA where she completed independent research on the relationship between mindfulness and anxiety disorders.

In addition to her one-on-one coaching practice, Alex acts as a mentor and teacher trainer for other coaches, psychotherapists, counselors, and mindfulness teachers looking to cultivate their skillset in supporting individuals with anxiety and other fear-based patterns of relating and behavior. She is endlessly inspired by the human brain's ability to change itself.

• The psychology behind perfectionism (and the intelligence and limitations behind it!)
• The key difference between anxiety and fear
• What's happening in your brain in a moment of imposter syndrome
• What co-dependency really means and how to develop healthier relationships
• The shadows of people pleasing - why being "nice" isn't always "kind."
• How to hack your brain for greater safety, security, and inner peace
