Stop Managing Time & Start Managing Energy with Alison Canavan
Episode 38 - April 20, 2026
On this episode of Backstage Pass, Gail Davis sits down with Alison Canavan — global wellness expert, mindfulness facilitator, and transformational speaker — to explore how leaders and teams can reduce stress, regain focus, and create sustainable wellbeing in a fast-paced world.
Key topics in this episode include:
- Alison’s journey from international supermodel to wellness and mindfulness expert
- The disconnect between external success and internal wellbeing — and how to close that gap
- Why energy management, not time management, is the key to sustained performance
- How burnout happens when we constantly “spend” energy without ever replenishing it
- Why mindfulness is simply reclaiming stillness, space, and silence in a distracted world
- How Alison integrates real-time breathing and grounding exercises into her keynotes and workshops
- Simple, practical tools — all five minutes or less — that audiences can implement immediately
- The power of “practicing the pause” to move from reactive to intentional leadership
- How leaders can better manage their energy to create stronger teams and healthier cultures
