Calm Confidence & Inner Self-Trust

Allison Crow - Wearing Cowboy Boots and smiling bright - IFS Coaching for Business Owners exuding the energy of self-trust and joy.

Are you a midlife human, a heart-centered business owner, or a highly successful professional who’s tired of the burnout cycle? Maybe you’re a recovering overachiever who’s ready for more calm, less hustle and grind, and more authentic self-trust.

Perhaps the mask of excellence and people-pleasing has brought you success but left you disconnected from your true self, leading to emotional exhaustion and the feeling that something is missing.

Midlife is a time for tending to what’s beneath the surface. You’ve built the success, achieved the milestones, and checked off the wins, but now something deeper is asking for attention. You know that connecting with your authentic self will lead to better work and a more fulfilling life.

Whether you’re a small business owner or an independent professional, this phase of life requires your whole self. My coaching spans both deep emotional work and practical strategy—from soulful self-discovery to cultivating healthier relationships, increased emotional resilience, and navigating this season holisticaly, deeply – and that will lead to greater purpose and joy.   With over 20 years of experience, I’ve got a toolkit full of strategies to help you know, love and trust yourself.  Find out about my coaching offerings here.

MY BACKGROUND:

I started my coaching career as a sales coach, trainer, and small business coach. Over the years, I have learned and applied various modalities in different settings. Now, I bring a human-centered and connected approach to all my coaching and training. I believe that human well-being is more important than mechanical productivity, which can be short-lived and harmful. I have been trained in IFS Coaching (Internal Family Systems L1- Practitioner) and Compassionate Inquiry. Helping my clients develop nervous system awareness, emotional agility, and SELF-connection enhances and deepens their personal and professional transformation. With 30 years of leadership experience, 20 years of coaching practice, and ongoing education, I have the inner and outer strategy and support to help you cultivate and create better in your inner and outer worlds.

Imagine fully trusting yourself – to be the real you all the way to the edges of life.

Book image for Unarmored - Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human By Author Allison Crow and IFS Book, Inspirational Memoir, Personal Development Book

Not your perfect performative plastic self, but your wild, messy, human self – your authentic self. What would it take for you to trust yourself, to BE yourself, and genuinely befriend all of yourself?
Imagine the quiet and clear confidence of just being at home in all of you. Undoing the conditioning of the outside world and making a commitment to authenticity can be a wobbly journey. Vulnerable? Yes. Will it require a few metric tons of self-compassion? Yes. Will you need to learn a few emotional agility skills and nervous system regulation skills? Yes. Worth it? All the yesses ever.

MEET YOUR PARTS:


If you wan
t to be at home in yourself, you must be willing to meet all parts of you – especially the parts that have been exiled, vilified, and shamed – that make us most uncomfortable. Meeting and befriending all parts of yourself is the first step to trusting yourself so that you can genuinely BE yourself. It takes more than desire. This sacred path requires us to cultivate connection, calm, and compassion. It requires curiosity to activate the clarity and courage we seek.

Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human (Click the title to purchase)

by Allison Crow is a different kind of leadership book – a book of SELF-leadership. It’s not quite a road map, but certainly a delicious set of ingredients, tools, and full-color images that will equip and inspire you if you want to live a more Soulful and glorious human experience.

Being hard on yourself with shame in midlife is no Being hard on yourself with shame in midlife is not helping. It’s time to bring on the self compassion.
One of my favorite aspects of IFS work is the cons One of my favorite aspects of IFS work is the consent we seek and the safety offered to parts in connecting.  We do not demand they answer us...but we create a safe and trusting relationship where, when the parts are ready, they can express themselves and be received by us with love and compassion.
Parts of us can be so loud and dominating in our e Parts of us can be so loud and dominating in our everyday lives. It's helpful to regularly cultivate a connection with your core wise SELF—with the Spirit within.  Even the tiniest light can grow and warm, and this essence is in all of us.

Self Trust. Ha! Self-trust is easy when you go a Self Trust. 

Ha! Self-trust is easy when you go along with the way the world wants and needs you to be—palatable, pleasurable, plied into standards and norms, people-pleasing. 

Many of us have held onto people-pleasing as a coping mechanism from childhood. And I will acknowledge that we, as humans, do need our beloved, our true communities. This is not about F You … but as one who craves that connection and acceptance and has spent a lifetime “managing” the parts many call “shadow,” this is about who you are independent of that dehydrated craving for acceptance. 

I have been exploring the parts of the world that tend to be categorized as “negative.” And it’s so fascinating both in my inner world and in the responses of people around me. 

⚠️You’re too angry
⚠️You’re too sad
⚠️You’re too negative
⚠️You’re too complainy
⚠️You think too much. 
⚠️You worry too much. 
⚠️You judge too much. 

Let it go!!! 

Ah these parts inside all of us that we are terrified of. We categorize them, label them victim….. we move away from them….. 

And yet we still stuffer. Surrendering isn’t about shoving the struggle away - it isn’t about being only high vibe. 

What is your capacity to be a high vibe for the human “low vibe” parts of you? 

In my world, WHOLENESS, and WELLNESS are about BEING Loving Attunement, compassion, and presence for these parts. They are not going away, not for me, not for you. 

Self-trust is building the relationship between SELF and parts. And to build relationships we must spend time together. So I spend time with my anger, my irritation, my anxiety, my struggle. And it IS changing everything. 
 
Who would you let yourself be? What would you release? What would you do? …….
If you deeply and wholeheartedly trusted yourself.

Ps. And anxiety attack is what gifted me with this clarity. Not a kundalini orgasm on my meditation pillow.
What sets you off? What triggers you?  And doesn’t it always seem to happen at the worst times? 

In much of the coaching and personal development world we’ve been chronically taught to “change our thinking” or some other form of positivity bypass… 

How does that work for you in the heat of a tussle with your spouse, or an upset client? 

Leading ourselves in moments where we are triggered can be tough… and there are skills to develop this self-leadership.  These are the skills of welcoming and moving toward, instead of away from, our troubling and intense parts. 

This my personal mantra of “the more I meet myself, the less I want to punch other people in the face.” 💛🤪

Intentionally spending time with these parts BEFORE they get triggered a practice that can help.

This quote is from Chapter 9 in “No Bad Parts” by Richard C. Schwartz - the developer of #internalfamilysystems

IFS is not only used in therapy, but is also being used in coaching, education, business leadership, medicine and more. 

These are the leadership tools we’ve been waiting for! #ifscoaching #allpartswelcome #nobadparts #restoringwholeness
It can feel like an inner free-for-all at times in It can feel like an inner free-for-all at times in my mind with parts-work.  But we can set inner boundaries. My inner 4-year-old doesn't run a business, but she can hang out in my pocket and be close by if she wants.  I've also asked my Anxiety parts to please let me sleep and then I meet with them in the morning!  It actually works!
