Alexandra (Lexi) Susann’s media journey began when she started Why She Whistles in 2017. At first, it was a blog to keep her rural Minnesota family updated on her adventures away from home. It has since transformed into a podcast and personal brand sharing ways to live more mindfully. She plans to use the Strategic Communications Design MA Program to help other wellness businesses put the practice of podcasting to good use.
While pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Naropa, she worked on the marketing team and studied the intersection of communication & Somatic Psychology. Her research included studying somatic practices to overcome public speaking fears and how to use podcasting as a healing modality.
Her background in event planning and experience managing media communications for businesses intersect with her desire to help facilitate community wellness gatherings in person and online. Lexi is passionate about podcasting and its ability to make wellness more accessible to the public.
Since her move to Boulder in 2020, her adventure time has been spent trail running, slacklining, or hiking her backyard. She’s always capturing the world through her lens, trying to share a positive perspective on life.
