About Alexis:

Some artists paint what they see. Alexis Christine Wild paints what she feels—and what she hopes you will feel too. Since 2014, her richly textured canvases have woven together bold colour, flowing movement, and hidden words of affirmation, poetry, and intention. Each piece is layered with meaning, as if the artwork itself is whispering, You have permission to be exactly who you are.

From her light-filled home studio in London, Ontario, Alexis creates work that now lives in homes and collections around the world. She is also the host of the Wild Permission podcast and curator of The Space, a vibrant small business incubator where creativity and community meet.

Working mainly with acrylics and plaster on canvas, Alexis invites viewers to come closer—because the deeper you look, the more you find. Her art is both a visual experience and an emotional one, sparking connection to self and others alike.

And Alexis’s creativity doesn’t stop at the canvas. By pairing her art practice with her passion for guiding others, she helps people make bold, aligned moves in their own lives—transforming her work into a living dialogue between courage, self-expression, and meaningful change.

    Recorded by the lake with the sound of waves in the background, Alexis offers a heartfelt love note to remind you of your infinite worth and capacity for self‑acceptance. This gentle meditation invites you to let her words sink into your bones and embrace every part of yourself—especially the ones you’ve turned away from.♥Wild Permission is your reminder that you already have everything it takes to live the life you want.

UNEDITTED TRANSCRIPT BELOW ♥Alright—today's episode is going to be a little bit different. Hopefully you can hear the sound of the waves in the background. I'm at the lake, and I thought I’d take advantage of this beautiful time and space to leave you a bit of a love note—a little bit of a love note.What I want to share with you is something I really believe to be true. If you’re able, take a moment to do nothing else. Maybe just sit on the couch. For this little bit of time, I invite you to receive the words I’m going to say and, if you can, let them settle into your body—let them sink into your bones.If you can find a spot—of course, if you’re listening and doing other things, that’s okay too—but if you can find a spot just to be for this moment, that would be great. You don’t have to sit in any special position; just find a place that feels okay to be alone with me for a moment. And as I share these things with you, let them sink into your body. Really feel them, even if they feel uncomfortable or untrue. Can you be curious about letting these ideas in?Okay.Dearest, you are infinitely loved. Infinitely protected. Infinitely worthy—oh my goodness, infinitely worthy. There is no end to what you could receive, what you’re allowed to receive, and what is here for you in this moment of time.You are infinitely enough—completely and wholly. This is true. You are infinitely enough, yes, even with the sadness and the hate and the fear and the shame and the doubt you still hold. You’re infinitely enough. Infinitely worthy. Infinitely loved.And all those parts of you that you feel aren’t good enough are also infinitely loved. Are you able, in this moment, to allow yourself to receive that? That even the parts of you you turn away from are also worthy of love.Even though I don’t know you, I see that the parts of you you think aren’t good enough are worthy of my love. And what’s really magical is they’re also worthy of your love. The parts of you you feel are not good enough are worthy of your love.A simple thing you can do today to show those parts of you a bit of love is simply to look at them. Simply to look at them. To acknowledge that you have parts of yourself you might not feel are good enough.What’s interesting is that acknowledging these parts of us actually helps us feel more whole because we stop ignoring and pushing aside parts of ourselves. Sometimes we’d like to just eliminate the part of us that hates another human. But can I invite you to allow that part of you to exist? Because when you allow it to exist, it loses the control and power it was trying to get—just like a little child who doesn’t get the attention they’re looking for becomes louder. When you’re able to look at it, it doesn’t need to scream anymore.All the parts of you you don’t want to know are there—every single one—is infinitely worthy of love and care. That doesn’t mean we let them run the show, but it means we stop denying their existence. Because to feel whole, you have to embrace that we’re both light and dark, both “bad” (I’m putting that in air quotes) and good.There’s no need to judge the parts of you you don’t want to look at. They’re simply there as parts of you. And what I know about you is that you are absolutely beautiful—even those parts. Gosh, maybe especially those parts.You’re so worthy. You’re so enough. Everything that’s happened up until now has made you part of who you are. All of it is part of you.And my goodness, what an amazing adventure. How beautiful to get to experience sadness, devastating grief, overwhelming anger—because all of that means you’re alive. And how gorgeous to experience delight that makes you cry, and love, and gratitude. All of it making this human experience your experience. And what a gorgeous one it is.You are infinitely worthy. You are infinitely loved. There is no end. All the parts of you are allowed to be here too, and to receive that love and care.Thank you for taking a moment to consider embracing yourself ...

    26. Due Dates
    Sep 23 2025
    In this episode of Wild Permission, Alexis shares her method for turning inspired ideas into reality. She explores the power of acting quickly on projects, creating “due dates” or deadlines, and nurturing your ideas like a pregnancy—so you can stay in the energy of creation and bring your visions to life.♥Wild Permission is your reminder that you already have everything it takes to live the life you want. Your dreams matter. You matter.Hosted by artist and permission-giver Alexis Wild, this podcast is your space for quick bursts of courage, truth, and joy.

UNEDITTED TRANSCRIPT BELOW ♥Oh, welcome back! I just feel so grateful and honored to get to be a voice in your ear every week—or, if you're binging on me, maybe you're listening to everything all at once. Today, I wanted to pop on and share with you something that I have found to be really helpful for me.I do a lot of projects. I do a lot of things. And I tend to try to do them quickly: get the idea, implement the idea. The reason for that is because when I feel really inspired, that's when I feel the energy of this project really vibrant and alive. And I don't know about you, but when there is something vibrant and alive in me—an idea, a project—the quicker I implement it, the more I am able to sustain that excited energy.We certainly don’t have to be in a heightened energy state to make things happen. But I noticed that for me, if I'm able to stay in motion with the project, it tends to feel better as I implement it.If an idea comes to me and I think to myself, "Oh, I'll get around to that someday," or "Maybe that's a project for a few months from now," it's likely that project will never come to fruition. However, if an idea comes to me and I'm able to quickly turn it around, it feels vibrant in my body instantly. An idea comes, and you're like, "Oh my gosh, I love that so much." And we keep that energy and vibrancy alive—then other people feel that from me.The way I’m able to keep that vibrancy and energy alive is I try to create a deadline or a birth date for this idea—just like when a baby is going to be born, there’s a due date. We have a bit of an idea of when we're going to meet this person, when the baby is going to be born.When I can create that deadline, and it’s a really hard deadline—like if I can be on somebody's podcast and say, "I have this thing coming out and here's the date"—if I'm able to coordinate that with somebody else and really make it a public declaration of, "Here's when this thing is going to come to fruition," it helps me stay on track.For instance, when I was in the art comp in London at Kellogg Lane, I knew there was a deadline for when the art needed to be completed and submitted. I told people I was submitting art to this show. I told myself. I stayed in that energy of excitement so I could complete it for that deadline. I submitted it, and then I was accepted.And now there's a new deadline: the art needs to be delivered by the state. Then there’s a new deadline: voting for the contest ends September 7th. Staying in that excited energy gets me to each next point.Because I'm able to create deadlines or commitments for myself, I know I have somewhere that I'm moving toward, and I know that I can look at it and say, "Yes, I completed it. This idea was birthed out into the world." And those deadlines—especially when I’m able to share them publicly—really create for me a sense of moving toward something and actually getting there.I know for myself that I also tend to desire intensity. I desire intensity. And when I pay attention to that and remember, "Hey, you really desire intensity, and sometimes it doesn’t serve you," I’m able to make sure I don’t save the project until right before the deadline. That’s procrastinating, right?But everything we do has a reason. So if I know I crave intensity in my system, and that's something I thrived on in the past but don’t want to be like that now, then I’m able to stay in the energy of creation in a sustainable way and know that craving is there—but I don’t need to let it take over.I want to stay in the energy of the excitement of creation, the pregnancy stage, and have a deadline, the due date, and stay in that feeling of creating something, birthing something, and being excited about it. While I’m doing all that, I want to notice in myself where I’m inclined to seek intensity. Procrastinating certainly gives us intensity, right? Now we’re two days before the deadline and have to scramble, scramble, scramble.The magic of looking at your projects as a pregnancy, a gestation period, means we consider nurturing ...

    25. This Perfect Moment
    Sep 16 2025
    In this episode of Wild Permission, Alexis invites you to pause, breathe, and imagine that everything you desire already exists in this moment. Through a gentle 10‑minute experiment, she guides you to feel the fullness of the present and explore how life shifts when nothing needs to change.♥Wild Permission is your reminder that you already have everything it takes to live the life you want. Your dreams matter. You matter.Hosted by artist and permission-giver Alexis Wild, this podcast is your space for quick bursts of courage, truth, and joy. Alexis helps you remember who you are—worthy, powerful, and enough—while inviting you to step into your wildest, truest self.This is your permission slip to follow your desires, trust your heart, and create a beautiful life on your own terms.www.alexiswild.comwww.wildpermission.com ♥ Prefer to read? UNEDITTED TRANSCRIPT BELOW ♥Welcome to Wild Permission. I'm your host, Alexis Wild, and I'm here to remind you that you have permission right now to be exactly who you are. Let's do this.Hello! You're getting another driving podcast, so there might be a little bit of background noise—and that's how we do it here—because when I have something beautiful to share, I want to hit record and share the beauty with you right when it's ready. And it's ready.What I feel called to share with you today is to invite you for a few minutes—you know about how long these are, let's say 10 minutes. I want to invite you for 10‑ish minutes to lean into an experiment with me. And maybe you're just going to listen to me for 10 minutes. Or maybe you're also driving. Or maybe you're doing the dishes. Or whatever you do when you pop on a podcast.I want you just to take a deep breath. Take a breath in whatever way feels so delicious. Like, wow, you are alive. Take a breath that makes you feel alive and reminds you that you are in a beautiful, powerful, holy, wonderful body. You wouldn't even get to be here listening to my voice without this body that you're in. So just take a breath. We're not getting into meditation, but just take a breath that feels good, that feels nourishing. Just take a breath.And I want you to consider with me for this time: what if where you are right now is actually the perfect spot for you? What if nothing—nothing—has to change? Right now is the perfect spot for you.Notice what that feels like. Does it feel conflicting in your system? Does it feel spacious in your system? What if nothing has to change? Nothing about your body, nothing about your work, nothing about your household. Nothing.And what if—holding that nothing has to change—what if everything that you want or desire was here in this moment right now?And I know we've all heard that everything is energy. So if everything is energy, then isn't it actually possible that everything you want is right here right now? Like, what if—just what if—it's possible that everything you want is right here right now? The thought of that makes me smile.Everything you want is right here, right now. Everything you want is right here, right now. No, don't look around and say, “Oh, but I don't have any proof.” Everything you want is right here, right now. And in fact, because it is here, is it possible to say then that you don't even need to want it? Because you already have it.Everything you have is here. Everything you have is here. We're not looking around for proof; we're just taking a moment to imagine, in our systems, in our bodies, that everything we have is here. Everything. We don't need proof. We're just taking a moment to play.And I don't know about you, but that idea makes me feel kind of tingly and kind of flowy and kind of decadent. And I have a bit of a smile on my face, and it makes me want to growl in the back of my throat. It makes me feel sexy. Everything right now is perfect. And you have everything right now.And so if you have everything and everything is just right right now in this moment, the question that I want to leave you with—the pondering—is: what if you could live the next hour with this feeling in mind?What if you could live this next hour—just an hour, we're just practicing; we don't have to go to a week or a day even—what if you could remember what it feels like right now for everything to be just right, for you to have everything? No wanting. There's no wanting anymore. You don't even need to want, because you have it.So, keeping that feeling in mind for the next hour, would you behave differently? What would be different about your day—the way that you behave, the things that you do, the people you talk to? Just what if?And that's my question for you. And it feels really decadent for me, and I hope it feels decadent for you too. And if it doesn't, then we're playing the “just right” experiment. So that's perfect too. And you can use it as a bit of a clue of maybe something that you want to investigate. Because you can.And what we're always ...
