Move to Heal: How Alexandria Hershman Is Transforming Recovery Through Fitness and Community

In this episode of No Permission Necessary, Molly Bierman and Jill Griffin sit down with licensed therapist and Move to Heal co-founder Alexandria (Allie) Hershman for a powerful conversation about recovery, generational healing, and the transformative impact of movement and community.

Allie shares how her father’s sobriety journey inspired the creation of Move to Heal, a growing nonprofit that combines group fitness and peer support meetings to make mental health care more accessible and less isolating. Together, they explore exercise as a clinical tool for depression and anxiety, the role of family systems in recovery, postpartum mental health, and what it really takes to build something meaningful while navigating motherhood and marriage.

This episode is about community, boundaries, and the reminder that it’s never too late to change direction.
