Double the sparkle, double the story – Alycia & Regina turn 50 boldly, brilliantly, and beautifully in sync

In this heartfelt episode of Pushing Forward with Alycia, Alycia celebrates her and her twin sister Regina’s monumental 50th birthday. They reflect on their magical trip to Playa Mujeres, Mexico, where they were joined by 22 close friends and family members for an all-inclusive celebration filled with laughter, dancing, and relaxation. The sisters discuss the significance of turning 50, the personal growth and confidence that comes with age, and the importance of self-acceptance. Highlights of the trip include a grand birthday party, snorkeling adventures, and Alycia’s emotional journey to body confidence by wearing shorts for the first time. The episode closes with motivating ‘pushing forward moments,’ emphasizing mindfulness, goal-setting, and the power of self-belief as they step into their next decade.
