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, 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 two rescued Boxers, Leroy Brown & Clementine. 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!!!

  • This is a special shout out to my clients and fans and followers from England. You have a special place in my heart.... a quarter of my clients are from GB. And in all my system data, Brits are always top of the list. I have more clients who live in London than in my home town! One of my favorite coaches and mentors was also from London. Who knew that an uncouth smart-ass, but deeply loving soul from Texas would find so much love and acceptance and community from across the pond. I’m officially planning a member retreat for my Soul-Full Success Soulies in Europe... and we will gather in my favorite global city ~London, in 2019. 🇬🇧 💛 🇬🇧 💛
  • Came across a few amazing coaches this week who forgot that the client is responsible for their own work and results. . One client was sending call RE-caps to each of her clients! Holy HELL NO. We can’t learn for our clients and more information does not equal more value. . Often our over-striving or over-delivering comes from our insecurities or need to prove ourselves. . I know because I’ve been there. . If this has been you, I’m here to pat you on the back with encouragement, and straighten your cute winter jacket... and tell you to re adjust your agreements and power. . Take a breath and remember that the client is powerful, resourceful, and whole. Your job it not to be the power... but to remind your client that they are. They hired you to expect the best of them. Not do their work. Love, 💛 Allison.
  • Let’s talk about the fine line of “expert advice” coming from the interwebs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - I just heard an expert say, “Question your content: if your post and caption were in a magazine, would it be good enough and cause someone to buy. If not - then I shouldn’t post it in my Instagram feed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - What the what?!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Nope. My Instagram and Facebook feed certainly won’t pass even close to a magazine spread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Maybe this is true if you have a product? But I’m in the business of service via the guide of the individual providing the service. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - As an individual business owner... even brand..... there is so much more to looking and even selling “good.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m all for a pretty IG feed. And. I wanna see and feel YOU. Connection matters. Connection creates. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - If to create clients we had to be as pretty or good at copy as a magazine advert...... I’d be broke. And I’m not. I’m rich. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So yes, keep learning new skills and tips and tricks..... and if you are in the business of service - connection is the most profitable asset you have. So create content that connects! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loving you. 💛 Allison
  • Remembering. Perspective. It’s all true. 💛
  • Do you have a hard time shutting your work brain off? Especially if you love it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I do. It’s Friday night and if technically finished work at noon today- I had a big and full week. Lots of giving and lots of creating! Hooray for new clients and awesome coaching calls. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ethough it is all good it’s time to celebrate and close down the work brain for most of the weekend. Honestly that’s a challenge for me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But with one breath, and the next, this post and then a hot bath and a fiction book...... I’m shutting down the work brain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is just a little reminder to myself, and you if you need it, that not only our bodies need rest. Our brains need rest from thinking and planning and creating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You do enough. You work enough and it is all working. There is space for rest and play and disconnect from social media. All is well, love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s chill the eff out together. What will you do to unplug and I swims your mind? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love, 💛 Allison
  • Identity—- or even more specifically your self concept matters. We literally can’t create what we can’t see and believe in our subconscious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love hearing my clients answer the question: who do you have to BEcome? What do you have to BElieve about yourself... to create this in reality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s literally mind blowing. Those upper limit thinking problems are soooo subtle. Even for high achievers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who are you becoming? What is the identity you have to see, feel and live to create your best life and work? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💛 Allison www.coachwithallison.com
  • How my dog’s allergies are an analogy for a current struggle: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is Rocky Potato- my 10 yr old rescue Boston. He looks how I feel. Rocky is bundled up being cozy dried after an allergy bath for extreme allergy flare ups. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some days the pressure I put on myself to always be ON, always be creating “value” on social media... overwhelms me - like and inflammation and itchy break out. I just wanna be cuddled up in comfort and held in these times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rocky itches. And I’m itching for more. My itches are really urges and in noticing the urges I remember that I don’t have to respond to the urges. - Urges = antsy anxiety and I’ve FINALLY (mostly learned)that those inflamed flare ups are worth of soothing release and anti inflammatory practices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bringing my self lovingly back to the relaxation response. Through breath. With soothing thought work and gentle emotional management. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And, like Rocky’s winter allergy flare ups, sometime I need a few “treatments” a day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have occasional wig-outs? Inflamed spins about how you SHOLD be doing this work? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If this is you, too, Let’s return to center and neutral and peace together. What say you!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love, Allison 💛
  • On of my favorite friends, clients, mentees, is starting a new round of her course BE UNOFFENDABLE. - I made a special trip to get a new journal for this next layer of learning. - @vcbrandon says that becoming UNOFFENDABLE is to have a high level of emotional mastery and emotional engagement. - Yes please!
