Way Beyond Baywatch: Making Waves for Change with Alexandra Paul (Rise & Thrive/Sexy Fit Vegan)

I thought, “You know, I need another adventure,” and I was worried it was going to ruin my career. But it turned out to actually be very good for my acting career. Because after you come off a series like Baywatch, everyone thinks you're just incompetent and dumb and I don't know, they just they just don't give you any credit for anything. And then you go do an Ironman. -Alexandra Paul In this encore episode of Rise & Thrive with Ella Magers, produced by Sexy Fit Vegan, we dive deep into the life and mission of acress Alexandra Paul, beyond the accolades, discovering who Alexandra Paul is at her core and what drives her. Alexandra shares her incredible story of deciding in 6th grade to remain child-free by choice and how that decision has shaped her activism, including her TEDx talk on overpopulation—a topic she passionately believes needs more attention. We discuss her transformation to vegetarianism at 14, inspired by Diet for a Small Planet, and how a year between high school and college sparked her love for acting, leading to a career where she stood firm in her ethics, refusing to wear fur or use makeup tested on animals. She also opens up about her battle with an eating disorder during her teens and early 20s, her fears around restricting dairy, and the profound moment at 47 when she went vegan and her heart “cracked open,” seeing the injustices of the world more clearly. We touch on her direct action activism, where Alexandra literally takes a stand—physically—for her beliefs, having been arrested over 25 times. She discusses the privileges that allow her to engage in civil disobedience, her training in it, and some of the experiences that have stood out, including moments of fear and claustrophobia. This conversation is rich with reflections on activism, personal growth, and the ongoing journey of recovery from bulimia. Alexandra’s story is not just about overcoming challenges—it’s a powerful reminder of how our choices, big and small, can shape a better world. You won’t want to miss this one!
