With that in mind, keep on reading for a deep dive into the life of Galey Alix.
“These families mean everything to us.
“My process is pretty unique,” Galey explained in an interview withHGTV.
“I would describe my style as cozy, coastal (inspired by Florida, of course!
), and functional,” she shared.
According to a profile inForbes, she holds a full-time job at investment banking firm Goldman Sachs.
Several years earlier, Alix thought she was living her best life.
“But deep down, I was dying with my eyes wide open.”
His less-than-sympathetic response ended that relationship.
This led to another epiphany.
“What do I have to lose?”
The result: a new design business and the start of a new chapter.
Despite her highfalutin job, Galey is hardly one of those to-the-manor-born types.
With those in hand, she eventually landed a job at Goldman Sachs.
Her strategy was simple but effective: hard work.
She showed up earlier, worked later, skipped lunches, and completely immersed herself in this new world.
“I hustled, I hustled, I hustled,” she said.
That wasn’t her only talk show appearance.
“And we ended up connecting.
Went on a date and then we’ve talked every day since.
[She’s] my best friend for sure.”
As of this writing, Moss and Alix were decidedly still an item.
The shirts also feature the logo, and are available in Cement Washed and Distressed Black.
“It allows me to take the weight off of trying to pick myself apart and make myself perfect.
“Saving their homes is actually what saved me,” she explained.
“It made me feel like I had something to live for again.
It’s like my pain found its purpose and its purpose is to help others.
“I have never done anything so rewarding in my life.”
“I don’t really talk to them again, and they wait and they wait.”
She feels these shades are not relaxing.
Her philosophy shapes her HGTV series
Galey Alix has admittedly always been a powerhouse.
It should have crushed her; instead, it inspired her.
“I think failure is a beautiful thing,” she explained.
“Without failure you don’t get to see yourself be strong and pick yourself back up again.”
That failure, she said, opened the door to her design business, which led her to HGTV.
Not surprisingly, the philosophy she embraced deeply informs “Home in a Heartbeat.”
I think the only failure in life is failure to try.”
“I don’t regret the physical toll these weekend installs take on me,” she toldForbes.
