This season we are focused on all of the tools and modalities we have each used to persevere during uncertain and challenging times we have faced collectively with all that has transpired in the world. Each guest has been hand selected as someone who has risen to the occasion as a LEADER and we have a deep dive conversation about what steps they each took to sustain their mental health and physical wellness.
Meet today’s guest, Angie Manson, CEO of Elevate Addiction Services. Angie shares that with lockdowns, and working from home becoming more prevalent, so does the importance of maintaining your mental well-being and making sure you don't get stuck in a rut. Thankfully, there are plenty of inspiring resources for inspiration and motivation that can keep you on your track, which are all modality’s Angie is passionate about!
Angie personally swears by engaging in physical activity and putting effort into challenging her body as the key tool for also developing her mind and shaping her life. Angie has been on an incredible journey from an underage drug addict in and out of jails to owning and operating multiple addiction recovery clinics. Angie has dedicated herself to a life of service; to the rehabilitation and personal development of others, helping them build themselves back up from nothing and into creating the life of their dreams, and to herself; smashing her preconceived limits and kicking goals along the way.
Angie's rehabilitation center's, Elevate Addiction Services, have been her way to give back to her community after she found the support she needed to get her own life on track, and she believes incorporating fitness and physical health has also been a key part to the effectiveness of the treatment programs, even going so far as to implement a certified CrossFit facility inside one of her recovery centers. She says, "I have found my true passion and purpose, which is to help others who are struggling with addiction, and I'm beyond grateful to be put on the path to live my true calling.”
