BLBW Ep 16: On Being Boss & Other Musings of A Middle-Aged, Authentic Entrepreneur

This one is a peek behind the curtain, as I am want to do for my clients and sometimes my wider audience.  

Do we have to be ON all the time as public figures? What is sustainable and what isn’t? Can I bring value when I’m not at the top of my game? Can you?  

In this episode…I show up – and this time it is more like we are having coffee or tea together on a cozy sofa vs me teaching and leading from the front of the room. I used to be a high performing over-achiever…and now I’m in recovery – except I might have had a bit of a relapse.    

I hope this episode lets you know, that where ever you are on your journey, you are not alone if you hit a dip, or get tired, or feel like running and hiding instead of showing up – one gentle day at a time in the long game of Better Life & Better Work.  

Love, Allison

  • We are committed to using our nurture to adjust our nature in Soul-Full Success. This week on the podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on Soul-Full Success coaching sessions where we discuss ideas like I just mentioned. To show you behind the curtain, I’m sharing an actual growth and achievement coaching session so you can hear behind the scenes what our community is really like. Our calls are sacred, a space that I absolutely love creating and belonging to, and I can’t wait for you to hear what they are all about, especially the juicy topics we talk about in this one. To give you an idea- in this call you’ll hear what’s present for these business owners, what they’re obsessing about recently, how we’re shifting frequency, and a lot around our muscle memory of “should.” We share the stories we tell ourselves around money, rich people, what we “need” to know, and the urges we feel. These are real Soulies sharing their heart and knowledge with us, and of course I share what’s coming through for me too. I can’t wait for you to pull back the curtain and hear what’s really happening in Soul-Full Success. I invite you to listen to this episode (the link is in my bio) and then let me know what you enjoyed!
  • I see soooo many newer business owners and coaches overcome with doubt because they are judging the moment. SoulFull Success is created over time. It takes time. It takes persistence. It takes boring repetitive action. It takes getting out and meeting more people. We live in such an instant gratification culture and that kind of mindset won’t work in creating a business. Mentally adjust for the long game. Failure, doubt, discouragement, rejection- they are all part of the process. Plan emotionally for them. The same way you know on a road trip you will get low on gas, or need to eat, or rest. #longgame #mindsetmatters #dontquit #getbackouthere
  • You probably remember that I had a pretty turbulent June. There was just some funky shizzle happening and the month just felt turbulent. But you know what? I got through it! And I did so because I have some ways I call upon to help me manage these bumpy times. Today I want to share a few of them with you. First, it helps to just remember that life is turbulent, but you were built for it. So just brace for it. You are resilient and have an innate ability to adapt. Second, Learn to feel bad. But “I don’t want to feel bad Allison.” I know, I get it. I’m an enneagram seven. We are the kings and queens of avoiding feeling discomfort. But here's the thing: In the learning to feel bad, we actually create the capacity to feel good. So embrace it. Lastly, lean in and connect. This one is huge for me, and I forget all the time. Why is it that we tend to isolate instead of connect? Connection is actually the thing that will heal. So lean in to connect. It’s one of the bravest things you can do. It’s one of the strongest things you can do. And you actually help the other people who get to love on you. You do not have to do this turbulence alone. That's what I have for you today- just a reminder that you can handle life's turbulence. And I'd love to know the ways you manage it in your life, feel free to share with me in the comments.
  • My hair hasn’t been this long since 5th grade. And it’s been about 2 years since I had it colored. And today I just had to give myself a switch up and I committed the cardinal sin of a #curlygirl and I took the time to blow it out. This heat and my curls are not friends and this Friday I decided to play with a fresh look. A change of energy and mojo. Is there a bit of your routine that you could play with, switch up just for the fun of it?! Go for it! 💛
  • Let me tell you why I love this photo by the talented @brookegenn so much: Yes I look adorable and bright and was having a miraculously good curly hair day. Even more than that, I remember my energy and vibration that day. I was in the space of calm confidence and exquisite love. I felt expansive self trust and a relaxed state of being. I felt love and loved. This photo is an anchor for all that I am and all that I intend to expand in this world. It is a miraculous capture of my essence in form. And my Soulie #breatheyall tee is too cute (only available to my 1year Soulie members). Who are you being from the inside out. What are you radiating. What is your mental and emotional state- and what is the frequency it is emitting out to the world around you? Where ever you are... tap into your being and lovingly reset your vibe. Match it to your desired and intentional being. What energy will you intend? Drop it in the comments! 💛
  • Cheers to all of you that show up for yourselves. You read, listen to podcasts, watch and learn because you know you deserve it. It makes me swell to hear that what I feel called to share with you resonates. It's not all days that I feel teachy or vocal or feel that I have anything to say that's important. But I keep showing up for you because I know this is bigger than me. And yes, there are days when it's hard and not natural and I can't get a quiet space to record and I feel stretched to my very core. But this is life. And this is part of the journey. And on the days when I'm not sure I can show up the way I want, I can remember marvelous reviews like this one that remind me why we are putting in this work. So thank you, and if you are enjoying the show but haven't let me know yet, please do- your thoughts matter and I'd love to hear them. 💛 Allison
  • 2.5 years ago I made a huge pivot in how I work with my amazing clients. Instead of high fee 1:1 work I wanted to work in community. With connection, deep coaching, and community. Starting a membership community on the opposite end of the high feel scale was a massive undertaking. I’ve learned so much and am still learning. And I’m freaking honored that in September we will celebrate our first 2 year members! I’m calling them #souliegold and I’m deeply touched that these long term members really get what this container offers. And we are all evolving together. I’d love to invite you to step in the sacred container of SoulFull Success. Think of it like a YMCA or a community center - with ongoing support. As needed. It’s not a linear program- wham bam - its a space for like minded- and open hearted business owners on the journey... those who are in it for the long game of creating delicious life and work. You don’t have to do it alone. Link in the bio to apply. Now is the time. Be seen. Circle up. Grow and then go change the world. 💛
