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.

  • Last week I was honored to be asked to participate in a 24 hour global summit put on by Lisa Copeland. During this summit, I shared my message on releasing imposter syndrome and how we can lead from our FULL GLORY. I knew the session was gold and wanted to share it with you on the podcast too, so that’s what we are doing this week on the Better Life Better Work Show (link in bio). The idea of sharing this session with you was solidified when I received this amazing feedback from a client; I’ll let her words speak for this week’s episode: “Great 30 minute live on living in FULL GLORY. F - Face your protective self U - You are the key, you are the power. L - Let go of the need for approval. L - Let go of people pleasing. G - Go deep to live from the inside out. L - Leverage your credibility. O - Own your genius. R - RememBEr who you really are. Y - You were born for this! Your resilience is your security. ...Our brain will choose mediocrity simply because it’s a known. Allison coaches to go deep & meet our protective self in conversation with compassion, to open great wisdom to ourselves. It struck a chord with me when she said underneath the greatest achievements, we still try to avoid the difficult emotions. Sometimes miserable emotions are more comfortable than the deeper fear of rejection and the need to people please. Aha moment for me! Another was when she said when you are centered in self, you are in your fullest energy and can impact the world just with your presence. Some of my favorite questions I’ve added to my journal list: - If you gave yourself full approval and permission what would you do? - What would it be like to fully trust yourself? - Who you BE? - Leverage your credibility by remembering who you are and write down everything you are Allison Crow is one of my business and life coaches. I love her focus on getting the soul back into business and helping her soulful people with their business. ...Enjoy!” -Annette Stahl So there you have it, allow yourself to enjoy this awesome show this week, and then let me know what questions you added to your journal list.
  • The only leadership I can comment on or control is my own. As a 30 year student of human behavior and psychology - I'm enthralled by the layers I see all around me. Covid-19 as a global pandemic is highlighting behavior. And seeing YOUR/HIS/HER/THEIR behavior is so much easier than witnessing my own. It makes me feel in control in anxious times to judge. And that isn't useful. So I notice. Like I mentioned before...(the vacuum post) I come back to me. Coming back to me sets you free. And coming back to me - sets me free. I see my own feelings, and fears, and desires. I see myself. I listen to myself. I meet even the hidden parts of me and I just be. I tend to over function by working and then recover with excessive sleep when I'm off-center. People have been asking- "What do you miss the most? " or "What are you most excited to get back to?" When I considered this, today, I realized it was only joy. Not any activity (well except holding baby Bowman - my nephew again)...but it was the feeling of excitement and joy. And I realized that I can hold joy, even now. That is possible NOW...not just "when." I am able to hold joy alongside my sadness for those who are suffering greatly - an many are suffering way more than I. I can choose empathy, and care, and joy. I am not celebrating this circumstance.... and I can find joy in the moments. In my breath. In my calm. In my gentle and intentional steps to care for my self, my family, my clients, and those who can not care for themselves now. The ability to do that brings me joy. Maybe not the giddy exploding joy....but something deeper. A joy of sacred being human. A joy of surrendering with out giving up. A joy of loving what ever arises. A joy of meeting even the most difficult moments with holy humanity. Pretending that I was saved by grace, or that the universe had a reason for everything was only ever an escape, for me, from my glorious humanness. My glorious humanness, and yours, today - that is joy.
  • As I vacuumed my whole house today - I'm always amazed at how much gunk comes up. We keep a pretty tidy and clean home, and still, each time I vacuum - quickly the canister fills up with disgusting dander and fur and hair - unseen on the surfaces of our home. My focus has been outward a bit to much lately. And it causes me needless suffering - and if I'm not careful it can bleed onto others nearby. And so as I vacuumed, I turned inward and cleaned up my own system too. I ask myself how I want to lead myself, my family, and my clients. Once again, I come back to these 4 Agreements + Breathe + Self-Compassion. Maybe it could help you too.
  • Happiest Birthday to this woman. @thetaranewman - I’m so glad she was born. Her leadership and support and humanness in my life the last year has been a desire fulfilled. That you Tara for living your calling 💛
  • Rest- Don't Quit. Sharing a gentle reminder with you today that rest is crucial - especially if you want to keep the Soul in your Success. Take the time to reset your mindy, body, and spirit when times feel sticky, but also when they are going well. Remember- when you are tired, rest- don't quit. Love, 💛 Allison
  • I got the goods.
  • Who can help you be your strongest self? This is the topic we are focusing on this week on the podcast (link in my bio). Because I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been experiencing a range of emotions and I need some support. Now more than ever it’s important for us to choose who we support and who we let in as our own support. It’s important for us to give ourselves permission to take a break, let go of what’s not serving us, and be intentional about who we are surrounding ourselves with (figuratively, of course). In this episode I”m going to let you in on who my support team consists of, share how you can focus on your chosen ecosystem, and invite you to answer some questions that will help you be more intentional with your time, attention, and connections these days. I always say the best lessons are from real life, enjoy my insights and lessons for you this week and of course I’d love to hear what lessons you are learning in this new normal we are experiencing.
