Why is it so hard to be Authentic? A lesson I learned from Gabor Matรฉ

November 4, 2022

Thankfully, โ€œBe Authenticโ€ has become more popular these days.  Iโ€™m not always one to choose whatโ€™s popular, but I am one on the quest for authenticity, and living in a climate and culture that has made more room for it than in the past, makesโ€ฆ [read more]

Pick Your Creative Practice Back Up

October 17, 2022

For some reason, I had a block in my head that made me believe my โ€œintuitive paintingโ€ and โ€œexpressive artsโ€ were only done with acrylic or tempura paints.   I donโ€™t know what fucking planet I was on, but โ€“ this glorious practice can beโ€ฆ [read more]

My Coach Told Me I Was Settling

June 8, 2022

  In my dreams, Iโ€™m not ever in a fancy hotel or a swanky luxury location. Iโ€™m certainly not in a formal dress and heels. Never in my real dreams did I dream of wealth the way it is sold to me. Never in myโ€ฆ [read more]

Building Capacity for Deeper Work โ€“ Self Leadership

March 17, 2022

For years I have been good at connecting with YOU, while still protecting and disconnecting from me. (This strategy is ineffective). My nervous system was conditioned to assess threat- yours is tooโ€ฆ and because I didnโ€™t know internal connection and safety โ€“ I tried toโ€ฆ [read more]

Connect with your SELF

March 13, 2022

Self Connection: Take a moment to pause and connect in your body, your heartโ€ฆ.your breath, and listen for YOUR truth. We are taught to demonize and pathologize any โ€œresistance, โ€œblock,โ€ or difficult emotion โ€“ these are NOT problems to solve..they are opportunities for SELF-connection.  โ€ฆ [read more]

Itch or Flow

February 16, 2022

Hereโ€™s a distinction Iโ€™d like to present for your Soulfull consideration: Is your desire from discomfort or innate drive? The itch is dehydrated, thirsty, and scratchy. Flow is supple, emergent on its own, and overflowing. Is your expression from performance and thirst or is itโ€ฆ [read more]

Rather than labeling them as good or bad, approach them with curiosity. Each emotion is a part of your system trying to communicate something important about your needs. By listening with empathy to these parts, you deepen your understanding of yourself and build emotional intelligence. This practice of compassionate inquiry helps you strengthen your connection to your internal experience and empowers you to respond in a way that aligns with your true Self.

Overthink Much? I have this mental ideal that is Overthink Much?

I have this mental ideal that is embedded in my brain that I would be able to wake up and move forward with all my intentions.  I can see the clear direction and simple steps. I can envision all the "results" and the relief I make up those results would bring. 

One of the things I'm teaching myself to do - is try to write more from a professional voice for you instead of blab in inner processing out on this little white pop-up box. 

How's that working, Alli?

Buahahahah.... all my sweet and striving little parts trying to hold my life closely to that ideal.  I sense the squirm of these parts in my body even when my "thinking" is clear.

I now know this to be a signal for me to slow down and meet those parts with calm and curiosity. First, I must get past one of my sneakiest and most powerful partsโ€”my "awareness" part. This is not Awareness from my core self. 
In IFS - we call these self-like parts. The distinction is that the awareness part carries the burden and tone of "You're doing it wrong."

I asked my clients to notice the part of them that is "mindful and self-aware." What are the words that the voice uses? What is its tone? 

Is it SELF-calm and compassionate, deeply connected? Or is it cognitive and managerial with a motive? 

OOOOF...sending sweet love and compassion to all my thinking, overthinking, and trying-to-get-it-right-for-some-imaginaryideal-parts, and to yours. 

These parts need our somatic connection and attunement. They do not need judgment and alienation. They are scared and holding ages of fear and pain. 

Hello, inner managers, and judgers, and thinkers.  I see you.  I am here for you.  I see your skills.  You have done nothing wrong.  No matter what you feel, you deserve more love, not less.  Let's just breathe together, and then you can share your fears and concerns.  I am here for you.  I will not leave you.
This sweet girl. Only a few taco Tuesdayโ€™s left This sweet girl. Only a few taco Tuesdayโ€™s left before they move across the state.
In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads" or say, "This part of me is really activated." Identifying and caring for emotionally reactive parts gives us the opportunity to respond with intention rather than impulsively. By practicing emotional regulation and internal partswork, you can create space between stimulus and response, allowing for more thoughtful and grounded decision-making.

For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and b For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and be insignificant.  For many, it's attached to conditional love.  IFS coaching helped me in places typical coaching couldn't.  It helped me compassionately understand and connect with these parts - and ya know what? They began to relax, build trust, and step back, leaving space for my natural creativity, grounded confidence, and clarity to lead in my work & life.  This is available to you.  #ifscoaching
