Today I’m sitting down with my friend, Alison Krawcyzk. Alison is a daughter, sister, auntie, friend, and communications professional. She grew up in upstate New York and now resides in Boston, Massachusetts where she works in the philanthropy communications department at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. You can usually find Alison writing down the things she's grateful for, reading literally any book someone recommends to her, running around Boston (literally), eating peanut butter, dancing to Britney Spears or Jay-Z, or scrolling through TikTok.
We’re talking today about Alison’s ability to stay optimistic no matter what life throws at her, and let me tell you, it has thrown some doozies. We’re talking about building a relationship with her dad, navigating life after devastating loss, trusting that everything happens for a reason, and a whole lot more.
