You knew Alex Fevola’s name. But how much of her story did you really know? Alex joins me to talk about losing Mia’s father just four weeks after giving birth — and the medical emergency that nearly took her life that same day. We also talk about raising her four daughters, living through a very public affair, and why she and Brendan found their way back to each other after divorcing. This is an honest conversation about grief, motherhood, betrayal and finding the strength to begin again. ❤️ 00:00 Meet Alex Fevola 04:41 Losing Mia’s Father 08:19 The Day Alex Nearly Died 13:20 Grieving While Raising a Newborn 17:36 Watching Mia Grow Up in the Public Eye 22:25 How Alex Met Brendan 24:59 The Affair and Public Humiliation 28:54 Why They Got Back Together After Divorce 33:28 Raising Four Daughters Through It All 39:05 The Relationship Alex Has With Her Girls 50:32 Building Runway Room 59:05 Telling Her Story in Her Book THE ELLA ERA: Instagram | TikTok ELLA MAY DING: Instagram | TikTok PARTNERSHIPS: klaudia@pivotalconversations.ai Learn more about your ad choices.
