The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast
Alyssa Rocco is on a mission to create positive change in the world. She is currently a Senior Life Coach at Handel Group, which she discovered seven years ago after finding a deep desire to change her career. After one session with a coach at Handel Group, she quickly discovered what was missing - she wasn't living true to her own dreams; she wasn’t happy, and she didn’t know how to become happy. This realization inspired a journey: Alyssa changed careers and became a coach. She learned how to date honestly, transformed the dynamic in her family, navigated addiction, and confronted how to create and maintain great relationships in her life. Her analytical mindset and process-oriented nature led to her work in the Media Division, and most recently, to build, test, and launch Inner.U, Handel Group’s first digital course. Alyssa grew up in Boston and she received her Bachelor’s degree in communication, film and technical writing from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and her Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from the Massachusetts School of Psychology. She is certified in process improvement techniques and six sigma practices. She is also a dancer and practices 5 Rhythms dance.

Alyssa Rocco: Embracing Life After Addiction and Eating Disorders
“The way that coaching has helped shape my life is it gave me the tools to actually dream like, actually go okay, I'm sober because I didn't get sober to stop drinking.”
What happens when you grow up surrounded by death and then find yourself battling addiction and an eating disorder? Alyssa Rocco knows this journey all too well. Raised in a family where death was a common topic, Alyssa's perspective on life was unique from the start. But her real challenges began with an obsession with candy and sugar, which spiraled into body dysmorphia and disordered eating.

Through coaching, Alyssa learned to navigate her addictions, mend family relationships, and build meaningful connections.
Her analytical mindset helped her thrive in the Media Division at Handel Group, where she also developed Inner.U, a digital course aimed at personal growth. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Alyssa shares her raw and inspiring story. She talks about the importance of living true to one's dreams and the power of community support in recovery.
