CHEERS! with Avery Woods

4d ago

Avery has Alex Cooper in the studio for a one year Unwell anniversary catch-up that is funny, real, and way more heartfelt than either of them expected. They rewind to their chaotic first meeting in Philly, talk about why they clicked instantly, and break down what building Unwell actually looks like behind the scenes. It is long hours, constant decisions, and caring about the details when nobody is watching. They also get honest about internet noise, protecting your mental health, and how to set boundaries when your life is public but your family is not. Alex opens up about what she looks for in talent, what she is most proud of this year at Unwell, and why community matters in an industry that can feel isolating. They get into creator pressure, the double standards women face online, and how to keep showing up when everyone has an opinion. Then it ends with rapid fire, favorite interviews of the year, dream guests, and a little Unwell Energy hype. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
