Episode #118 - In this powerful episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Allison Goldberg—a corporate and personal life coach with over 27 years of experience helping people move through trauma, mindset blocks, and emotional overwhelm.

Allison’s story is one of extraordinary resilience. Before she was even born, her father went missing. Two weeks before her birth, he was found brutally murdered—by none other than Charles Harrelson, the father of actor Woody Harrelson. Growing up in the shadow of this tragedy, Allison had to become her own guide, learning how to survive and eventually thrive.

Together, we talk about the importance of self-awareness, mindset shifts, and simplifying your life to find more peace and purpose. Allison shares grounded, practical tools to help you break through limitations, prioritize self-care, and reconnect with your inner strength—whether you’re navigating a life transition, healing from the past, or seeking more clarity in your relationships or career.

This conversation is a reminder that no matter where you come from, you can reclaim your power and design a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.
