Alexa Wilding (she/her) is a writer, musician, and twin mama. After a decade-long career as a singer-songwriter (“the neo-Stevie Nicks” – The New York Times), she received her MFA from The Writer's Foundry in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has recently appeared in Departures, Suleika Jaouad’s The Isolation Journals, Parents, and Cup of Jo. She writes a newsletter on Substack called Resilience.
Alexa’s intimate vignettes on Instagram, where she shares her journey as both a cancer mom to her son, Lou and, in a surprise plot twist, a recent breast cancer survivor herself, have drawn in a community of 13,000 highly engaged followers.
She has been featured on platforms such as New York Family (cover story), Vogue, The Glow, Harper’s Bazaar, Mother, Bust, Nylon, Style Like U’s “What’s Underneath,” and in Allure’s "Dispelling Beauty Myths" series, where her video on postpartum body-acceptance went viral within 24 hours (17+ million views).
A lifelong New Yorker, Alexa now resides in the Hudson Valley with her family. She is currently developing a book that delves into her story as an artist, caregiver, patient, and seeker.
