Self Care IRL

Ty Alexander is a wellness blogger and bestselling author who brings a refreshingly real perspective to the self-care conversation. Her show strips away the bath bombs and scented candles version of self-care and focuses on the harder stuff: setting boundaries, recovering from trauma, navigating toxic relationships, and figuring out who you are after a major life change. Self Care IRL is a solo show, which means you get Ty's unfiltered thoughts and experiences for the full episode. She's open about her own struggles with mental health, spirituality, and personal growth, and she delivers advice with the energy of a friend who's been through it and isn't going to sugarcoat things. The show has 116 episodes, a 4.8-star rating from 1,200+ reviews, and a premium tier for listeners who want bonus content and guided meditations. Episodes release weekly and cover a wide range, from practical topics like building a morning routine to deeper explorations of self-worth, forgiveness, and emotional intelligence. Alexander has a particularly strong connection with women in their twenties and thirties who are trying to build a life that feels intentional rather than reactive. The show isn't currently producing new episodes as of late 2024, but the back catalog is substantial and the advice is timeless. Think of it as a really thoughtful friend who happens to have a microphone and great taste in wellbeing topics.
