I’m Alexandria Thibodeaux (she/her), though most people call me Lexi. I’m a coach based in New Orleans with a background in psychology and a passion for supporting others as they identify their purposes. I grew up in Naperville, a suburb of Chicago, and have lived in San Antonio, Houston, St. Louis, Denver, and now New Orleans. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Saint Louis University in St. Louis, MO.

For a long time, I tried to make sense of my life by searching for my one grand purpose, the single, defining answer that would explain who I was and why I mattered. I pushed myself to find something unique, something impressive, something that would feel like a clear contribution to the world. Instead, I mostly found frustration. I felt stumped, small, unsure. It seemed like everyone else had a direction, and I was still trying to solve myself like a hidden riddle.

Eventually, I stopped forcing clarity to appear.
I stopped hunting for a revelation.
I turned inward, toward quieter questions:

What experiences open me?
Where do I feel most alive?
What leaves me softened, steadied, or moved?
How do I show up, not just for others, but for myself?

I was worried this thought process was selfish, but realized it was actually permission, the beginning of a gentler way of understanding myself.

In those reflections, I discovered that purpose isn’t a single path waiting to be uncovered; it’s a constellation of meaningful ways we already exist in the world. Some of my purposes showed up in how I love, how I listen, how I support the people closest to me. Others lived in the spaces where I care for myself, including my need for peace, autonomy, creativity, and alignment. I learned that purpose can be service-oriented or self-oriented, and that both matter, and both are necessary.

Now, my work is rooted in that understanding: that thoughtful, reflective people (overthinkers like myself) don’t need to find a grand calling; they need room to notice the meaningful experiences already shaping them. My hope is to offer that room, that permission, and that clarity without pressure.

When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me enjoying time with my husband, our two cats and dog, friends, and family, indulging in delicious foods, and rewatching Broad City for the hundredth time.
