Have You Met Your Angel-Ness?

I’ve met my Angel-ness.  Have you met yours?

Since I met her, my Angel-ness has helped me leave a safe, 175K a year, and life- sucking JOB, and leap off the ledge of solo-preneurship– and soar!

She helped me heal my marriage, take responsibility for my own shit, release blame, connect with magical and dear soul-friends, and introduced me to amazing thinkers-feelers-and-seers.

My Angel-ness lifted me out of depression and helped me see my worth personally and professionally. She helped me manifest amazing trips, helped me fill my client roster, she attracted YOU to this site, and she took my coaching practice from USA and Canada–to GLOBAL.

She helped me release shit that was destroying my heart and she taught me to allow.  She draws most of my art, and she designed this webpage-and introduced me to my designer.

She follows her heart, she speaks with wisdom and love. She is right every time. I could go on and on with the evidence of her in my life….another time though.

What the heck is my Angel-ness?

Let me share a short story and an old personal blog post from 4 years ago with you.

Looking back at an old blog I used to write, it is fun to see where I was, and the dates behind those posts.  Today, I chuckled about this post I wrote about meeting my Angel-ness.  I chuckled, because now I call her by a few other names:  My Inner Whisper, My Inner Wisdom–  She is my Inner Goddess– she is PURE LOVE.

I also chuckled because of the date: June 15, 2009– and here I am 4 years later — almost to the day.

I’ve really discovered more of my authentic voice, and this gal is certainly a much larger and more consistent part of my life.  I am much more in tune with her voice… I hear it loud and clear on request. To hear her back in 2009, her voice was so buried under the noise of life, I had to be taken through a guided meditation.

Here’s the old post:

15 June 2009- Let me introduce you to my new best friend


This post is probably a little airy-fairy for some of you….so warning. I am pretty airy fairy sometimes and this is my blog. That being said, let me introduce you to my new best friend.

I was recently introduced to my Angel-ness and her purpose for my life. I’m grateful for the introduction and for the many messages she has been giving me since I met her. Today was the day I first drew her and put her to a visual symbol. She is the very best version of myself. The one God created me to be. She is here to remind me that I brave and strong and the words on her spirit tail are just some of the qualities that I know I have and am growing every day.
Here are a few of the other messages she has helped me uncover:

 

  • Watch out for downplaying who you are
  • Leave the small shit behind
  • Validation comes from the SPIRIT, not from the world.
  • You have an infinite capacity to grow and love and evolve
  • You are an artist–always have been.
  • You are able to trust completely…those wings are strong and will guard my heart when needed.
  • Life is meant to be enjoyed abundantly…this abundance is for all of us…including you, Allison
  • Laugh
  • Don’t take life so seriously
  • God takes care of the birds doesn’t he? and they are just birds…
  • Delight in the people you love
  • Just be. Just be has been your motto for a long long time…bring it back…and be all that you want to be. Be love-don’t DO love…just be.


I guess I share…because I’d love for YOU to have the gift of hearing what your angel-ness has to say for you? How can he/she/it contribute to your spirit…and then your life? 

To the one who introduced me to my Angel-ness, I am grateful for your contribution to my life..I look forward to speaking again soon…and learning more.

I’ve changed a bunch since that post.

  • I was afraid of my airy fairy…and now I freaking embrace it! I even took a professional photo recently in fairy wings! 
  • I had no idea how my life would accelerate and change for the better when I began an active relationship with that Angel-ness/Inner Whisper.  My marriage is 10 Zillion times better, I’m lighter, I still earn great money BUT I’m my own boss, I have time to play, create, and just be, I actually LIKE MY LIFE, and I’ve served so many hearts –all because I decided to begin & sustain that relationship.
  • I believe more in The Universe – that we are all connected and there is Goddess within (rather than one authoritative God that we are separate from).
  • I only had 2 coaching sessions with that coach—and the first one pivoted my life forever.
  • I’ve re-framed pretty much everything in life to consider being in alignment with that Angel-ness/Inner Whisper first.
  • I now teach people how to do the very same.

The coolest part of reading that old post is…that the messages My Angel-ness gave me haven’t changed –well maybe only a shift in language actually– the essence still remains.  Here’s how it has shifted:

  • Watch out for downplaying who you are  —>Stand in the tallness of who you are; Being truly yourself is the best way to find happiness and success.
  • Leave the small shit behind —>Focus on the BIG AMAZING SHIT, Live BIG, Share BIG.
  • Validation comes from the SPIRIT, not from the world. —>YOU ARE VALID!- You are above no one, you are beneath no one, you are independent of the good and bad opinions of others, you are LOVE, you are VALID.
  • You have an infinite capacity to grow and love and evolve  —> You are infinitely and actively growing, loving and evolving.
  • You are an artist–always have been. —>You are an artist, always have been, and always will be- Keep C R E A T I N G.
  • You are able to trust completely…those wings are strong and will guard my heart when needed. —>I trust the process of Life- I am safe and I am loved.
  • Life is meant to be enjoyed abundantly…this abundance is for all of us…including you, Allison —> I am in the flow of Abundance easily, always and with appreciation and joy.
  • Laugh —> REALLY REALLY LAUGH!
  • Don’t take life so seriously–-> Play, Celebrate, Notice & Enjoy Often
  • God takes care of the birds doesn’t he? and they are just birds… —> The Universe is FOR you and meets all your needs — Life happens FOR you. 
  • Delight in the people you love —> Delight in and make time for the people you love.
  • Just be. Just be has been your motto for a long long time…bring it back…and be all that you want to be. Be love-don’t DO love…just be.

Have you met YOUR Angel-ness?  Can you hear your Inner Whisper? Or,are you still hearing the voices of the Inner Critic, the Inner Judge, Inner Shame, and your Inner Meanie?

There is nothing I love more than making the introduction of my clients to their Inner Whisper– helping them learn to hear that small, still, true, and LOVING, and VALID voice within.   Nothing excites me more than teaching someone who is ready and willing, to turn up that volume and start living a new life and reaping the rewards of being guided by this new voice.  Old ways of thinking run deep, and they can be changed.

You want to change your life? You’ve gotta change your thoughts. You don’t change your thinking- your life won’t change. 

 

Thanks so much for reading. Feel free to share, or tweet, or comment– or all three! Spread the good ju-ju!

    Don’t know if I can call her an angel exactly 😀 But my communication with my inner guide is usually pretty good.

    Love the post, Allison. The Angel-ness is telling me to love myself and to let the small stuff be. She is reminding me on how I need to treat myself. :). Again and again.

  • "[Allison] has this gentle way of encouraging, that makes me take action, as opposed to rebelling against an authoritarian bark of a command!" 💛 Thank you for your podcast reviews! I hear you on the rebellion part- embrace who you are, embrace your magic, and then find your action! If this type of thing sounds interesting to you too, check out my new episodes of the #BetterLifeBetterWork Show (link in bio) and leave a review if you are enjoying it!
  • @billy_flan s book is leaving on a jet plane to Australia! Do you have your copy of Hollywood, Texas? Grab it now! Thanks @tiffanyjanescott for sharing your cute face and a copy of the book. Can’t wait to hear why you think.
  • You may know by now that inside Soul-Full Success (my live coaching membership) we have fabulous weekly calls where we share all things life and biz. Well recently we talked about 3 big lessons I want to share with you. And while you look at these 3 lessons, I want you to think of the answers you would hold for yourself: 1. Identity – does your identity as a business owner match up with how you are believing, thinking, and doing? What could be more aligned? How do you know? 2. Knowing Your 3 – I’ve talked about this before, but what are your 3 front facing activities that keep you connected to your people and business? What isn't just another task, but one that fills you, one that connects you, one that can always bring you back to where you need to be? 3. Investing in Implementation – it’s easy for us to continue buying courses, coaches and formulas, but I challenge you to invest in actual implementation. For me that was assistance with marketing and weekly tasks. What would that look like in your business? I dive into these ideas deeper in a podcast episode from a few weeks ago ("3 Lessons from a Soulie Biz Coaching Session"- link in bio to the podcast), but these questions can get you started. And if you do ponder these questions and have some answers or insights, I'd love to hear them below!
  • This week I want to acknowledge that we all face difficult times, even as leaders. And in my work I’ve been lucky to gather some insights and advice from leaders around me about how we can navigate these difficult times. Because I think we live in a culture that expresses that leaders should have their shit together. They we should hide our emotions, toughen up, have a stiff upper lip, yadda, yadda, yadda. But this isn’t how Soul-Full leaders navigate these difficult times. So I want to share the insights I’ve learned about what Soul-Full leaders really do when they are facing something difficult and share some real stories to show you. I hope this helps you notice some of the bullshit our society tells us leaders have to be and helps you see how you can be your own, perfectly imperfect version of a leader. And if this episode resonates with you (link in bio), I’d love to know!
  • Do you know your 3 things? Your three things is a concept I came up with to help us all when we are feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You know the days and times when you just stall out. Where you want to go into your cocoon. Where you are possibly in a traumatic stress response and unsure what to do to move forward. Those are the times that you can turn to your three things. Your three things are the things that when you don't know what else to do, if you do one of them, it will help get you going. These are things outside of regular self care, these aren't you habitual go-tos like meditation and journaling, they're the BIG 3. So for me, my 3 things are: 1. Find someone to love and serve. 2. Get face to face with another human being. 3. Go Live with you all. If I am overwhelmed or don't know what to do, all I have to do is one of those 3 things and it starts the transformation in me. So I want to invite you to think for yourself what your three things are. What can be your go-to actions to help you when you need it most?

Katie Crockett, who’s wrapping up a film shoot in her home state, is intrigued by the stranger’s blue eyes and cool demeanor.

To make their relationship work, they’re going to have to find a way to merge their lives into a place called Hollywood, Texas. Fiction by my husband @billy_flan - link in bio!
