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.
