Episode #30- Allison Tibbs: From mainstream media to wellness coach

On this episode of Real Talks on the Rocks, I sit down with Allison Tibbs. Allison is a wellness coach/personal trainer with clients in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Allison gets real about her experience in college, working in New York for a major media company and how the path that she was "supposed" to take actually did not bring her joy. Allison also talks about the transition she made from corporate career, to training others to become the best version of themselves. For today's career woman who struggles with balancing work and career, you will enjoy this episode. You can reach out to Allison on her Instagram: https://instagram.com/allisontibbs Thank you to all of my supporters who are supporting me on Patreon and allowing me to grow this channel! Click the link below to access this episode's bonus content: https://patreon.com/realtalksontherocks For all of the links to the other avenues to view/listen to my show, you can visit my website at: https://realtalksontherocks.com There you will find links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify as well as my Patreon page. You can also follow me on: Facebook: https://facebook.com/realtalksontherocks Instagram: https://instagram.com/realtalksontherocks Twitter: https://twitter.com/realtalksrocks #fitness #inspiration #careerwoman Chapter list:00:00- Preview 01:00- Intro 01:55- Allison’s beginning: what most people don’t know 04:00- Working in the media in New York and the financial crisis07:45-Black women expectations in America 11:25- Is the money and the “lifestyle” worth it for women??19:35- Why we age longer than our parents20:42- Having Kids n todays world 23:13- Why San Francisco?? 31:00-The life I’m “supposed” to live… 33:00- Why young women can “self-sabotage” relationships 36:49- The REAL New York 38:20- People who love their high-profile life 42:22- I’m doing Social Media wrong! 46:25- I hate working out! 49:45-Choosing fitness as a career over Tech52:16- Working at Equinox 58:03- Building relationships with clients 1:05:00- Becoming a wellness coach from scratch 1:10:50- How the lockdown made people ask “am I happy?” 1:17:30- Difference in training clients in tech vs entertainment 1:20:30- NorCal vs. SoCal clients 1:23:55- A client success story1:31:00- How Allison balances her time1:36:10-Allison’s advice to women in corporate America1:41:00-What’s important in our 30’s1:48:00- What we thought was important in our 20’s 1:49:17-What Allison’s future looks like 1:54:00- Relationships today and how we view it2:10:03- Connect with Allison
