Alexa PenaVega is sharing her way of looking at life’s low moments.
“I think we all look at the valleys or a hard time as, like, ‘Why am I going through this?’” she explained during a recent Instagram Q&A. “And I just think of — if you’re mining for gems, digging for gold, you’re not going to find that on top. You really have to go deep.”
The actress continued, “You have to go to the hard places to get that diamond, that gem, the thing that not a lot of other people have. So I’ve learned to see the valleys as something really fruitful, as opposed to something negative that’s going to take me out.”
In the post’s caption, PenaVega asked her followers, “How do you see the valleys of your life? Are they taking you out or strengthening you?”

The SPY KIDS star often shares thoughts like this on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she encouraged her followers to start their days “practicing gratitude.”
“Gratitude just changes everything,” PenaVega said, sharing that she thanks God daily for her health, her family, her home and her community.
She continued, “What’s funny is, you think of all these things, [and] you realize, ‘Oh, my gosh, I have so much more to be thankful for than I even realized 30 seconds ago.’ So, try it.”
PenaVega and her husband, Carlos PenaVega, recently launched an exciting new joint project: a podcast, titled “LEXLOS.”
“GUYS. We are SO excited!!!” Carlos posted on Instagram. “We’ve talked about doing this for almost ten years, and we honestly can’t believe it’s finally here.”
He continued, “We are so proud of this podcast. The conversations we’ve already had have challenged us, changed us, made us laugh, made us cry, and made us look at parts of our own lives differently. Our hope is that it does the same for you. That it ignites something in you. Inspires you. Gives you hope. Makes you laugh. Makes you think. Maybe even makes you a little uncomfortable in the best way.”
“We talk about EVERYTHING. Truly. Nothing is off limits,” Carlos added. “This is just the beginning.”
PenaVega’s view on the tougher moments of life is a reminder that hard seasons often bear the sweetest fruit in the end.
