This Week on The Sober By Design Podcast with Corey Hennings
Get ready for a powerful and inspiring episode with this week’s guest, Alexandra Talbot—a true force in recovery and beyond. Alex is a Canadian, certified trainer and life coach, founder of Sober Active Canada, and a Natty National Level Body Builder. Oh, and did we mention she’s also a person in long-term recovery?
Alex opens up about her early start with drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and how that path was shaped by deep trauma, including the absence of her father and early sexual abuse. Despite it all, she managed to build a solid career in government and stack up impressive credentials—all while hiding her substance issues.
But as it often does, the truth caught up. At 250 lbs, unemployed, and a mom to a 10-year-old, Alex hit her bottom—and then rose up. Now 8 years into her recovery journey, she’s living life with purpose, using the tools of the 12 steps daily, and breaking the cycle in her own family.
Alex doesn’t just talk the talk—she lives recovery, dives deep into program literature, and helps others find their way out. This conversation is real, raw, funny, and seriously motivating.
Tune in and get inspired by Alexandra’s story—you won’t want to miss this one.
