Recovery Coach & Life Advocate
Ed McManus | Recovery Coach & Life Advocate
"If recovery wasn’t this much fun, I wouldn't have stuck around as long as I have."
I bring a unique perspective to coaching, built on two distinct pillars: 23+ years of long-term recovery and over 17 years of professional experience in the finance and legal sectors. I understand the high-stakes pressure of the corporate world and, more importantly, I know how to maintain a vibrant, joyful life through decades of sobriety.
My passion lies in building the "bridge back to life," helping others transition from the weight of active struggle to a life of sustainable purpose & purpose driven recovery vs consequence based abstinence .
What I Offer:
Decades of Lived Experience: With over 23 years in recovery, I offer the deep, grounded perspective that only comes with time and consistency.
The "Sober Scene" Expert: I am an avid concert-goer with extensive knowledge of the recovery community within the live music scene. I show clients how to navigate shows and festivals while staying grounded, proving you don't have to leave the music behind.
The Bridge Back: Using my 17+ years of professional discipline, I provide strategic support for those ready to reconnect with their careers and personal ambitions.
Wellness in Motion: I’m a firm believer in the healing power of the outdoors. Whether we’re hitting the trails for a hike or getting some "canine therapy" with the dogs, I incorporate movement and nature into the healing process.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me catching a show, behind a drum kit, or out on a trail with a pack of dogs. I prove every day that life in recovery isn't just about "getting by"—it’s about hitting your stride.
