Transforming Life’s Challenges into Rhythmic Positivity
Hi, I’m Allison2020—singer-songwriter, wellness advocate, and creative optimist. My journey with music is deeply connected to my father, Doug Midgley, a talented singer-songwriter whose life was cut short by cancer when I was just 10. His music became my compass through life’s toughest moments—loss, love, illness, and healing. I made it my mission to preserve and share his legacy, freeing his songs from old cassette tapes and bringing them to streaming platforms, where they now offer warmth, wisdom, and hope to others.
As I grew older, music remained my constant, but in 2020, life dealt me a new challenge—I was diagnosed with leukemia. Rather than seeing it as a setback, I embraced it as my “cancer curriculum.” This experience fueled a renewed purpose to share the power of health, wellness, and living out loud. It wasn’t just about survival; it was about thriving with intention, positivity, and fierce love for life. I coined the term Creative Optimism to describe how I transform life’s blues by adding rhythm through music, movement, and mindset—my mantra to uplift not only myself but everyone around me.
Now, I fuse my personal journey with my mission to help others tap into their inner strength, build confidence, and create lasting positive change. Through my music and wellness coaching, I invite you to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, healing, and joy. I’m here to empower you to live your best life, driven by rhythm, resilience, and gratitude.
Today, as both a musician and wellness advocate, I blend song, positivity, and health to help others shine. With every lyric, coaching session, and interaction, I aim to inspire you to rise above life’s blues and transform them into something beautiful and uplifting. Join me on this gratitude-driven journey where we grow, thrive, and embrace joy, even on the hardest days. Together, we’ll turn life’s challenges into stepping stones toward an extraordinary, joy-filled life.
