🥹✨ CHIB, thank you so much for offering to open your network to me!!

Yes- I would love to be connected, building a network always feels so daunting- if she is a friend of yours, I know I’ll be in good company.

If you are comfortable emailing me: kaylenalexandraali@gmail.com

Thank you, I love you! 🙏

Hi K. I was a professor of psychology, but I am not currently. I recommend following Jorden Cummings - https://jordencummingsphd.substack.com/

See, this is exactly why I should have continued with my MS and PhD so that you could just interview me lol

Also- fellow Sun Devil here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I graduated from ASU in 2017, was accepted into the MS program and then backed out (sad trombone).

I’m so proud of you for going back to get your positive psych degree!!

I do have a dear friend who is a psych professor at a university in Oklahoma, I could reach out to him if you’d like? His name is (Dr.) Caleb Lack. He was in the documentary I produced :)

Let me know if you’d like me to try to make the connection :)

Xoxo

Yes yes yes!! I’d for nothing else- interviews of your brilliance would have been SO COOL.

I want to hear more about your school journey and hi fellow Sun Devil! ☀️

I would be so forever grateful to be connected to Dr. Lack- Mesa, thank you for always having my back!! 🤍🤍

P.s. where does your documentary live?! How do we watch it and tell others about it?!

I love you both to the moon and back, but am afraid that our friendship now has to be deeply boundaried. I am a UofA alumni through and through. Born and raised in Tucson. Red and blue was my identity as a child! My brother went to ASU and was nearly disowned. He had to remove all maroon and gold clothing and paraphernalia from his person before entering the front door and then we would not speak of the unspeakable thing. 😆

Jk, jk everything is FINE! I could care less about school rivalries now. BUT I DO CARE about this new degree, K! This is so freaking exciting and wonderful!! I can't wait for allllll the nuggets! 🙌♥️

😂😂😂😂 I SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO NEVER, EVER, WEAR MAROON. Or mention my school again 😂

One of my friends from HS moved back to Tucson for UofA and I believe she teaches there now…

I am ruining relationships here today 😂

Thank you thank you for reading and please practice a moment of amnesia to erase the fact that my school, is not, your school.

I love you!

Bwahahahahahahahaha Kendall!! I lived in Tucson for a few years and ALMOST went of to UofA.. sooo close, but ASU won me over for their psych program.

I'm so excited for K's journey too! Can't wait to do deep dives into positive psychology! That was one of my favorite classes and my former therapist loved it :)

Yay!! I'll reach out to him today and then make the introduction via email if he's up for it :)

My doc lives on Amazon Prime - (both of them do) the one with Dr. Lack is called Reason to Believe (about why we believe what we believe - religion, conspiracy theories, etc). We filmed it over the course of 2 years, initially had interviewees and then had to whittle it down to 5 lol. Unfortunately some of the interviewees are now in the crazy boat, but at the time we were making it they had really great information to share lol
