E17: Living a Life That Fits | Alex Rowberry on Reinvention, Resilience and Trusting Your Intuition

What happens when the life you built no longer gives you peace? Alex Rowberry knows what it takes to leave, rebuild and begin again.Amanda Webb reconnects with Alex, more than two decades after they worked together in Sydney. Alex describes feeling as though she has lived several different lifetimes, from Air New Zealand and recruitment, to raising twin daughters in Greece, returning to study Chinese medicine while they were young, and building a new career as a Neuropuncturist. Sitting with the choices behind those changes, Alex talks about resilience, motherhood, intuition, the discipline of starting again and her determination to create a life with more peace.You’ll uncover:• How a turbulent childhood shaped Alex’s resilience and ability to keep adapting when life changed.• What raising twin daughters and homeschooling in Greece taught her about responsibility, independence and the need to create peace in her own life.• Why Alex followed her intuition into Chinese medicine, then took on years of study while raising young children.• How her interest in neuroscience led to neuropuncture, a practice she describes as combining acupuncture, electrostimulation and neuromodulation.• Why Alex sees discomfort, continued learning and trusting yourself as essential parts of growth, whatever your age.This conversation is for women who have lived enough life to know that reinvention rarely arrives neatly. Alex’s story is about recognising when something no longer fits, having the courage to change it, and trusting that a very different life can still come together. Sometimes the biggest leaps start with claiming your own time and place.Alex Rowberry is a Neuropuncturist based in New Zealand.
