Better Life ~ Better Work

BETTER Life BETTER Work

Welcome to the Better Life Better Work Show.  This show is all about living and working better – through 3 areas. 

Spirituality & Energetics

Thinking & Mindset

& Business and Life Strategy

 

And, in this podcast, I share as a transparent leader so that you might gain insight you can implement into your life and work,  be exposed to new ideas and ways of being and doing – because more is not better.  Better is Better.

  • 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!
