Now it's time for me to be transparent with you wonderful Sugar Shock Blog readers. Despite the fact that I'm a trained journalist, who strives for objectivity, and a life coach and health counselor, who seeks to help clients find answers themselves, I'm biased about Alison! Suffice it to say that I'm what can best be called a "groupie," who has attended several PAX programs!

However, the reason for my enthusiasm and excitement is valid. As I've discovered, PAX programs offered by Alison and other trained workshop leaders are powerful, insightful, entertaining and simply life changing!

I'm in good company. Thousands of women and men around the world rave about PAX programs, including singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, who said this:

“Alison’s deep understanding and love of men moved me to a whole other level of clarity and peace about a gender that has confounded me for a long time. I feel like the wool has been pulled from my eyes and I can see men in a new and more loving way.”

Alanis Morissette, Singer-Songwriter
