Better Life ~ Better Work

About Allison

 

 Principles I Hold Dear

Alignment: I believe life is exponentially better & easier when we live it from the inside out. Connect to Inner Wisdom (you know, that little voice of truth in your heart and gut) and then go take on life.

Recognition: I believe that you are enough, you are worthy of being your divine wild and free self, and that you deserve to be CELEBRATED. I believe that you and I, both, should stand in our passions & power and then serve the world.

Thinking: I believe that our automatic thinking sucks. We’ve GOT to become aware of the stories we tell ourselves—we’ve got to stop shoulding all over ourselves. Many of our thoughts are keeping us from our greatness. Let’s trash the crappy stories of shame and doubt—and through awareness, re-write stories of truth, compassion, and allowing. Do this and we will unleash happiness and succulent success.

Mind * Body * Spirit: I believe this is all connected. Be aware of what your body is telling you. Breathe. Stretch. Meditate. Listen within. This shit works.

Create: I believe we are ALL creators. Express yourself. Let your freak flag fly. YOU are a CREATOR. Be more you- this is THE path to success. 

Both/And: Life is a delicious and often perplexing paradox.  The light and the shadow are both parts of the whole journey. Being willing to allow the both/and is the ultimate freedom. 

I intend:

  • to hold space and love for myself and others
  • to respect & love my body, connect to my spirit, and live a juicy life
  • to unleash more of my creativity in writing and drawing
  • to think & live big –so big that from time to time it scares me
  • to tap into & be guided by my Inner Wisdom  & The Divine Feminine–I will trust my intuition completely
  • I will REMEMBER WHO I BE… My Power is in my Divine I AMness
  • to notice and learn from my shadow feelings and thoughts
  • to be so fucking tender with all the parts of myself
  • to own and celebrate my value and share it with the world- to live my soul-full purpose, and rock this life
  • to lead community in these values and ways of being in the world

Wanna Join Me?

  

I’m Allison Crow, M.Ed.,


I want to introduce myself and let you know what you are getting into here.
I am a Better Life & Better Work Coach, an Irreverent Priestess (yes, I’m a licensed minister), and Teacher.  I help people learn to follow the heart path in life and work, guided by their own inner wisdom and the Divine within.

No more bullet point promises or bullshit list of deliverables… I just promise to hold space to help you get to know and trust yourself, your intuition, and your true Divine, Wild, & Free Self.  It will probably involve some meditation, some energy work, some f-bombs, prosperity mojo, lots of stories and conversations, some silence, journaling, with a splash of strategy, and practical steps for moving forward.

My clients also get the benefit of my vast business, sales, and profitable coaching practice experience.  I can’t help but slip into consulting and teaching at times.  I’ve been teaching and coaching in one form or another since the mid-90s. I’ve been full-time coaching as a profession for over 11 years.  I have a Masters degree in Educational Psychology, am a Certified Visual Coach, and a Certified Expressive Arts Facilitator (and a die-hard Oxford Comma User). I’m also a founding member of an extraordinary community of leaders called 4PC.

My clients  are soul-centered, high achievers – and often “recovering over-achievers.” They are leaders, coaches, entrepreneurs, bold artists, business owners, and even a few executives who are ready for expansion and to live life from the inside out – to discover who they were before they got lost, and then begin living in a new way.  Above all, my heart sings to help people truly listen to & follow their heart, to help them find their authentic feel good…and to begin creating BETTER Life & BETTER Work 

Once a hard-lined performance and sales coach motivated by outside forces and an excruciating need for approval, I finally figured out that everything I want and need already resides within me, and now I help my clients do the same. This means BEING more and STRIVING less – while still creating income.  I specialize in energy alignment, Law of Attraction, accessing intuition, and courageous, creative & inspired action, and business building through client creation and online expression.

I am also a bit of a bohemian, intuitive artist and create or paint almost daily.  If I am not coaching or speaking, you can probably find me in blue jeans and a LOVE-themed t-shirt and covered from head to toe in marker ink or paint, or with my ass in the grass tapping into the 6th sensory world. Or these days, possibly on  FB-Live with a glass of red wine in hand.

I live in Austin, Tx with my husband and three rescued dogs, Leroy Brown, Clementine & Rocky Potato. I’m addicted to reading, facebook, macaroni & cheese, champagne, and naps.

Thank you for checking out my website.  I’d love to have you join my tribe by subscribing to my email list… I don’t email that often – only when inspired to. You won’t find any formulas here. You will find inspiration, authenticity, and from time to time I will invite you to participate in things I’m offering. Most of all, you will always find good vibes here. Thanks again, Love…. I really do appreciate your support.

What others say: 

Jennifer Herrera: Executive Coach. Builder. Curator. Facilitator. Writer. Yoga Teacher. Founder This Girl That Girl http://www.jenniferherrera.com/12938221_10207358638619070_5008838013219160338_n

I’m in this place in my life where my heart is opening more fully, more wholeheartedly, where the details of my heart I’d keep hidden away for fear of being weak or “too much” of anything I’m sharing. I’m saying out loud the shameful parts so they can be demystified and healed by the healing energy that is present when two Souls are choosing Love and Authenticity.

I’m deepening friendships with women in ways I’ve longed for as far back as elementary school when all I knew was that I didn’t have my bff, my sister. As I grew older I created wonderful friendships and many are still solid, beautiful, wellsprings of connection and respite. And I still held back. I thought I had to know, to be in charge, to lead, to be in control and therefore my deeper shades of gray I’ve concealed even from myself.

In the last 18 months, this became a way of being I could no longer sustain. I need help. Support. Loving. I need to be HONEST. Fully. Just writing this brings up emotion so I’m clearly still releasing that old voice and way of being.

Allison has been a POWERFUL example for me of Leadership, Femininity, Strength of Heart, and Generosity of Spirit. Her friendship and leadership as a coach has been profoundly healing for me. We don’t always know our impact by BEing ourselves and it’s important to share, to acknowledge and to celebrate it!

Thank you, Allison. From my heart to yours.! xx

“I don’t have the words to describe what the Fuck Allison does.  I just know I wanna be around her.  Want to be inspired right here right now?  She is the personification of what it means to get
vulnerable and real.”

 

 

Jillian Butler: Owner Red Key Realty Partners St. Louis

“You are so Chick Nhat Hanh: Today you explained a fabulous/deep concept about the energy continuum from victim energy- to defensive energy- to allowing energy — very very ZEN — and you made it understandable by using the chick flick “Pretty Woman” as an archetypal symbol.  Your coaching is absolutely deep and delightful.”

She LOVES dogs…… I don’t.

She cusses like a sailor….. I don’t

She used to be a Christian…..I forever will be!

She is extraordinary….. Oh wait, I am too so can’t use that?

There are so many ways that we are different, yet the one way we are the same is the only thing that matters…

Both on a quest to live 100% of ourselves…out loud, Allison Crow,  your unrelenting commitment to strip away EVERYTHING that is not real is breathtaking!! You rocked it out today, I am forever impacted by you!!!

  • Last week I was honored to be asked to participate in a 24 hour global summit put on by Lisa Copeland. During this summit, I shared my message on releasing imposter syndrome and how we can lead from our FULL GLORY. I knew the session was gold and wanted to share it with you on the podcast too, so that’s what we are doing this week on the Better Life Better Work Show (link in bio). The idea of sharing this session with you was solidified when I received this amazing feedback from a client; I’ll let her words speak for this week’s episode: “Great 30 minute live on living in FULL GLORY. F - Face your protective self U - You are the key, you are the power. L - Let go of the need for approval. L - Let go of people pleasing. G - Go deep to live from the inside out. L - Leverage your credibility. O - Own your genius. R - RememBEr who you really are. Y - You were born for this! Your resilience is your security. ...Our brain will choose mediocrity simply because it’s a known. Allison coaches to go deep & meet our protective self in conversation with compassion, to open great wisdom to ourselves. It struck a chord with me when she said underneath the greatest achievements, we still try to avoid the difficult emotions. Sometimes miserable emotions are more comfortable than the deeper fear of rejection and the need to people please. Aha moment for me! Another was when she said when you are centered in self, you are in your fullest energy and can impact the world just with your presence. Some of my favorite questions I’ve added to my journal list: - If you gave yourself full approval and permission what would you do? - What would it be like to fully trust yourself? - Who you BE? - Leverage your credibility by remembering who you are and write down everything you are Allison Crow is one of my business and life coaches. I love her focus on getting the soul back into business and helping her soulful people with their business. ...Enjoy!” -Annette Stahl So there you have it, allow yourself to enjoy this awesome show this week, and then let me know what questions you added to your journal list.
  • The only leadership I can comment on or control is my own. As a 30 year student of human behavior and psychology - I'm enthralled by the layers I see all around me. Covid-19 as a global pandemic is highlighting behavior. And seeing YOUR/HIS/HER/THEIR behavior is so much easier than witnessing my own. It makes me feel in control in anxious times to judge. And that isn't useful. So I notice. Like I mentioned before...(the vacuum post) I come back to me. Coming back to me sets you free. And coming back to me - sets me free. I see my own feelings, and fears, and desires. I see myself. I listen to myself. I meet even the hidden parts of me and I just be. I tend to over function by working and then recover with excessive sleep when I'm off-center. People have been asking- "What do you miss the most? " or "What are you most excited to get back to?" When I considered this, today, I realized it was only joy. Not any activity (well except holding baby Bowman - my nephew again)...but it was the feeling of excitement and joy. And I realized that I can hold joy, even now. That is possible NOW...not just "when." I am able to hold joy alongside my sadness for those who are suffering greatly - an many are suffering way more than I. I can choose empathy, and care, and joy. I am not celebrating this circumstance.... and I can find joy in the moments. In my breath. In my calm. In my gentle and intentional steps to care for my self, my family, my clients, and those who can not care for themselves now. The ability to do that brings me joy. Maybe not the giddy exploding joy....but something deeper. A joy of sacred being human. A joy of surrendering with out giving up. A joy of loving what ever arises. A joy of meeting even the most difficult moments with holy humanity. Pretending that I was saved by grace, or that the universe had a reason for everything was only ever an escape, for me, from my glorious humanness. My glorious humanness, and yours, today - that is joy.
  • As I vacuumed my whole house today - I'm always amazed at how much gunk comes up. We keep a pretty tidy and clean home, and still, each time I vacuum - quickly the canister fills up with disgusting dander and fur and hair - unseen on the surfaces of our home. My focus has been outward a bit to much lately. And it causes me needless suffering - and if I'm not careful it can bleed onto others nearby. And so as I vacuumed, I turned inward and cleaned up my own system too. I ask myself how I want to lead myself, my family, and my clients. Once again, I come back to these 4 Agreements + Breathe + Self-Compassion. Maybe it could help you too.
  • Happiest Birthday to this woman. @thetaranewman - I’m so glad she was born. Her leadership and support and humanness in my life the last year has been a desire fulfilled. That you Tara for living your calling 💛
  • Rest- Don't Quit. Sharing a gentle reminder with you today that rest is crucial - especially if you want to keep the Soul in your Success. Take the time to reset your mindy, body, and spirit when times feel sticky, but also when they are going well. Remember- when you are tired, rest- don't quit. Love, 💛 Allison
  • I got the goods.
  • Who can help you be your strongest self? This is the topic we are focusing on this week on the podcast (link in my bio). Because I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been experiencing a range of emotions and I need some support. Now more than ever it’s important for us to choose who we support and who we let in as our own support. It’s important for us to give ourselves permission to take a break, let go of what’s not serving us, and be intentional about who we are surrounding ourselves with (figuratively, of course). In this episode I”m going to let you in on who my support team consists of, share how you can focus on your chosen ecosystem, and invite you to answer some questions that will help you be more intentional with your time, attention, and connections these days. I always say the best lessons are from real life, enjoy my insights and lessons for you this week and of course I’d love to hear what lessons you are learning in this new normal we are experiencing.
