Alison Canavan, International Speaker & Coach | The Jeff Crilley Show

from The Jeff Crilley Show · host RNCN

Every entrepreneur has blind spots their team and spouse won't point out. Alison Canavan, an international speaker and transformational coach, has made it her life's work to help people see those blind spots — and she earned that expertise the hard way. A former international model who represented Ireland in the Ford Supermodel of the World competition at 16, Alison spent decades in the spotlight while privately struggling with addiction, depression, and anxiety. Eleven years sober, she now speaks on stages worldwide about energy management, self-awareness, and the power of reconnecting with yourself in a disconnected world. In this conversation with Jeff Crilley, Alison shares the harrowing night that led to her sobriety, the career she lost after publicly sharing her recovery story in Ireland, and why she believes that moment of losing everything was actually the best thing that ever happened to her. She also talks about her daily journal, "Change Your Day: The 5-Minute Way," a neuroscience-backed practice that helps people build gratitude and intention in just five minutes a day.
