In this powerful episode of The Begin Again Podcast, host Gary Mankey welcomes Alexandra Talbot, a health and lifestyle coach and founder of Sober Active Canada.
Alexandra shares her harrowing journey of battling addiction starting from the tender age of 10 to her triumphant path to recovery and transformation.
She delves into the emotional lows of losing her job and nearly facing homelessness, and the pivotal moment on April 22, 2017, that led to her ‘rebirth.’ Alexandra discusses the importance of self-love, spirituality, and her trifecta program attacking the mental, physical, and spiritual facets of addiction.
Her story is one of resilience and the radical transformations that can follow when one chooses to live life unaddicted.
