Alex Franzen has been writing professionally for years, specializing in working with brands in the health, wellness, mindset, psychology, yoga, fitness, and food industries.
After publishing books and achieving success as a talented copywriter, Alex renounced social media and has become a staunch advocate of work-life balance.
In this interview, Alexandra and Dave discuss her love of checklists, where the pressure to "do more" comes from, and more, including:
Alex writes about a wide range of topics: life, love, death, grief, unplugging from technology, creativity, focus, productivity, simplicity, time – and how we spend it. Her sixth book is The Checklist Book: Set Realistic Goals, Celebrate Tiny Wins, Reduce Stress and Overwhelm, and Feel Calmer Every Day.
Alexandra’s newsletter, in which she shares inspiring true stories, checklists, music playlists, and exciting surprises to more than 13,000 readers, has been called one of the “14 newsletters you need in your inbox” by Brit+Co. She has written articles for Time, Forbes, Newsweek, The Huffington Post, and Lifehacker. Her work has been mentioned in The New York Times Small Business Blog, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, and Inc.
