This impactful, re-aired episode, features Alison speaking with Serena Sabala about her work in health, fitness, and wellness, including the holistic business she runs with her husband. Serena describes her book, *Make the Shift*, as a workbook built around three pillars: focus, food, and fitness.

She explains her approach to mindset as “empty, shift, repeat,” encouraging people to replace limiting thoughts and practice new habits consistently. In nutrition, she emphasizes more water, more plants, and more natural foods, and in fitness she recommends balancing cardio, strength, and flexibility with regular daily movement.

Serena also discusses common barriers such as information overload, old habits, and trying to compensate for poor nutrition with exercise. She points listeners to the book’s exercises and a free assessment questionnaire as tools for identifying blind spots.
