If your finances, relationships, or fun feel stuck on repeat... if those old hyper-alert or no-play childhood feels still linger... if you're done faking it and ready to turn your mess into something epic—this is your gentle nudge to wake up.Perfect for: people in therapy, busy parents with big dreams, entrepreneurs tired of the "hustle struggle," anyone swapping victim vibes for creating alongside something bigger.Connect with Alison: Instagram: @alisonanswers | @lagercounseling Website: LagerCounseling.com YouTube: Alison Answers Facebook: Alison Lager Lcsw Casac Purchase Alison’s book: “The Wake Up Call” Alison Answers Facebook Group: Join HERE Women of Excellence FB group: Join HERE ⚠️ Crisis Resources:Lager Counseling ServicesCall: 516-221-2123Text: (914) 363-0381Wantagh: 3408 Park Ave. Wantagh, NY 11793988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7, free, confidential)Call or text 988 | Visit 988lifeline.org
