Background
Alexis Lawson is a purpose-driven speaker, facilitator, and program leader with over 8 years of sobriety and nearly a decade of experience working at the intersection of recovery, reentry, youth development, and personal transformation.
Her work is rooted in lived experience — overcoming addiction, incarceration, and instability — and shaped by years of facilitating conversations that move people from survival mode into self-awareness, accountability, and forward momentum. Alexis doesn’t speak at audiences; she engages them with honesty, structure, and tools they can actually use.
She began speaking in 12-step and recovery spaces and has since expanded far beyond them, bringing her message to treatment centers, youth programs, events and community organizations seeking meaningful, trauma-informed impact.
Experience
Alexis has worked with and supported individuals and groups through organizations including Douglas County Youth Center, Youth 360, Nebraska Family Works, NorthPoint Treatment Center, 50th Street Landing Reentry Program, and Douglas County Detox, among others.
Her ability to connect across ages and backgrounds allows her to meet people where they are — especially those who feel overlooked, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Whether speaking to youth, adults, or professionals, Alexis delivers messages centered on resilience, identity, emotional regulation, and purposeful decision-making.
Programs
In addition to keynote speaking, Alexis facilitates the L.I.T.T. Program (Life • Identity • Training & Transformation) — a structured workshop and program experience designed to build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and life skills across 14 core areas.
L.I.T.T. is ideal for organizations seeking more than inspiration — those looking for sustainable growth, measurable engagement, and long-term impact. Programs can be delivered as single workshops, short series, or multi-session contracts depending on organizational needs.
Alexis’s mission is simple but uncompromising:
to help individuals recognize their capacity for change, rebuild with intention, and move forward with purpose — regardless of where they started.
