        <itunes:summary>*On Becoming Sovereign* is the place you land when you&#39;re done abandoning yourself.

Hosted by Alexandra Vigue, writer, coach, and recovering “good girl”, this podcast explores the real work of healing: choosing yourself, meeting your triggers with compassion, navigating relationships, rebuilding trust in your body, and learning to live from your truth instead of survival patterns.

With personal stories, deep conversations, and nervous-system-aware insights, each episode is an invitation to step into the woman you were always meant to be.

If you’ve ever felt too much, not enough, or like you were living a life that didn’t quite fit, this is your homecoming.</itunes:summary>
