Have you ever wondered how many lessons there are left to learn until you’ve gained the power you need to live your life to its fullest? The truth is, none of us know. Internal strength often results from time, experience, and sometimes adversity throwing us into challenges we never thought we’d ever have to face– let alone overcome. This week on Journeys Through Change, my guest Alison Evans and I are talking about how her sobriety and lupus diagnosis taught her to make self-care non-negotiable.



Alison’s passion to help women build strength – inside and out – began when she ended her relationship with alcohol in January 2017. Right away she leaned into a fitness routine to help her stay sober and improve her mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. As her passion for fitness grew, she left her career as a high school counselor and returned to school to earn a Masters degree in Exercise Science. She also became a Certified Personal Trainer and Professional Life and Recovery Coach. Now she supports sober or sober-curious women to create a healthier lifestyle, reduce stress, and find balance. 



In this episode, Alison and I discuss:

  • The awakening moment that finally led Alison into a successful recovery after multiple attempts. 
  • Finding the balance of getting & staying sober while living with a partner that is not. 
  • Alison’s career shift from high-school counselor to starting a business focusing on health and wellness. 
  • Setting boundaries to prioritize your self-care and well-being over all else.
