    53: Permission to be a Bit Shit with Dr. Alison Asher

    53: Permission to be a Bit Shit with Dr. Alison Asher

    Dr Alison Asher has been a chiropractor almost 3 decades working all over Australia before settling on the Sunshine Coast. She juggles a family, a home practice, events for Chicks Who Click, private coaching clients, MC’ing chiropractic conferences and is passionate about helping more people choose their own adventures and live the life of their dreams.
    Observing Alison over the time I have known her I can say she is a constant student always being open to learning more and growing personally and professionally in order to use that to help others, is an avid bibliophile (which is close to my heart) and freaking hilarious to boot. She’s also the only person I have ever gotten into bed with after only meeting them a few hours earlier. 
    In this episode we have a hilarious and open discussion with Alison about facing new things with courage, her personal journey and why its really ok to embrace being a bit shit at stuff.
