Alexa Lemieux has had such a big impact on curvy women all over the world, including Raeann and Kristina, and we loved watching her journey to find love on the reality TV show, Love Is Blind. Her confidence has sparked positive, dare we say viral, attention on the internet and she has inspired women to be unapologetically themselves and take up space. Although breaking the reality tv mold wasn\\u2019t exactly part of her plan, she has embraced her position as a role model for curvy women with pride. Hear the inside scoop about her unconventional and in some ways groundbreaking journey to the altar with her now husband, Brennon, what her expectations were going on the show, what her dating life was like before meeting Brennon, how they\\u2019ve strengthened their relationship since the show, when they want to have kids and seriously SO much more. If you\\u2019re an Alexa superfan like we are, you\\u2019re going to love getting to know her better in this episode.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s not something I planned on doing; to be a curvy representation on TV. It just kind of came out that way and I am really glad that it did. If that\\u2019s something I\'m going to stand for, that\\u2019s a really great thing to stand for.\\u201d - Alexa Lemieux


\\u201cWhat helps me a lot of the time is knowing this is such a temporary feeling, and next week you\\u2019re not going to be thinking about how down you are. When you\\u2019ve made it through your lowest, you know you\\u2019re doing to be fine.\\u201d\\xa0 - Alexa Lemieux
