Look At Me Now with Alexis Artin

In this deeply vulnerable episode of Look At Me Now, Kelly Chase (Season 1 of Love Is Blind) opens up about surviving an emotionally abusive college relationship, navigating public heartbreak after reality TV, and the powerful inner work that transformed her life. She shares how coercion, shame, people-pleasing, and unresolved childhood wounds shaped her early relationships — and how mindset coaching, nervous system regulation, gratitude, and radical self-awareness helped her break destructive patterns. This conversation is a raw and empowering exploration of attachment theory, self-abandonment, forgiveness, manifestation, and reclaiming personal power — reminding every listener that healing is possible, your past does not define you, and you are already worthy of love.

On this episode of Look At Me Now, Alexis sits down with nightlife executive turned mental health advocate Mikey Tableman for a raw and deeply human conversation about success, emptiness, addiction, and survival. From running VIP experiences at major music festivals and partying alongside celebrities to battling severe anxiety and attempting to take his own life, Mikey opens up about the hidden cost of hustle culture and the illusion that fame or money can fill internal voids. Now sober and nearly 40, he's rebuilding his life through spoken word poetry, his mental health podcast Chaos Controlled, and his nonprofit A Mind Pursuit, dedicated to creating safe spaces for honest conversations—especially for men. This episode is about imposter syndrome, purpose, reinvention, and the courage to keep going when your mind is your biggest opponent.

In this powerful episode of Look At Me Now, Sabrina Soto shares her raw journey from being homeless at 16 after her family lost everything to becoming a successful television host and creator who helps others transform their spaces — and their lives. What begins as a story about design quickly reveals something deeper: how clutter can be unprocessed emotion, how control can become a coping mechanism, and how perfectionism and social media filters distort our sense of self-worth. Sabrina opens up about self-medicating, staying too long in unhealthy relationships, learning to surrender instead of force, and redefining what a "happy life" truly means — not fame or flawless aesthetics, but feeling proud of yourself each day. The episode culminates in a powerful mirror question that reminds us that no matter what we've been through, we are worthy — and, in her words, "a f*cking badass."

In this powerful and deeply emotional conversation, Pattie Ehsaei shares her journey from fleeing Iran as a child and growing up in poverty in the United States to enduring unimaginable tragedy when her parents died in a murder-suicide while she was just 24 years old. Forced into survival mode, she raised her younger brother, navigated a controlling relationship that mirrored her mother's dependency, and ultimately found the strength to choose herself after a pivotal moment that made her realize she was abandoning her own identity. Pattie went on to rise through the ranks in a male-dominated financial industry, building both wealth and influence, and now uses her platform to advocate for women's financial independence as a form of safety, freedom, and self-worth. At its core, this interview is about resilience, breaking generational patterns, trusting your intuition, and understanding that true empowerment begins when you control your own money—and your own life.
