Lessons you can apply to all areas of your life: emotion regulation, communication, habit change, and more.
Feel accomplished: we feel good when we accomplish hard things! Set your mind to it, join the group, and wait to see how good you feel in 8 weeks when you did it!
Feel supported: this group provides positive coaching and facilitation by Alison and positive community support by the group.

Testimonials for Alison’s Past Groups & Programs
“I have participated in other grief/support groups via Zoom that were not as open or successful. I found Alison to be an excellent facilitator. Working to cultivate an open, caring, online meet-up with folks you haven’t met before is not easy. I felt validated, heard, and respected anytime I shared anything with the whole group or in the chat feature. Very happy to have had this experience and so very thankful for all the resources shared.”
— Victoria A., Librarian
Job Grief Support Group, 2024
“I got a lot out of doing this as part of a larger group. The outward accountability is what I needed.”
— T.L., Tech Industry
8-Week No Sugar Challenge, 2024
“I liked the holistic approach to why you might be in a toxic job, how to deal with it, and how to move forward. I liked the balance of topics.”
— Anonymous Participant, Paralegal
Job Grief Support Group, 2023
“It was just good to hear someone else’s experience and relate to some of the same issues. I think the specific focus on work issues and strategies for dealing with work stress and all of the emotional issues surrounding work is valuable and is better in a group setting. This group is for anyone with a work situation that is eating away at their confidence or that feels stuck.”
— S.L., Higher Education
Job Grief Support Group, 2023
“This program offers space for healing, which is incredibly powerful. I think one thing that is unique and super valuable about this challenge is the education that goes along with it, including the videos, extra mini challenges etc, are not JUST focused on food and diet, they are focused on your whole self, emotional health, movement, relationship to sugar, etc.”
