The Discomfort of “Being With”: Unarmored Presence in the Wild Edges Of Being Human on the Art & Self Podcast with Cindy Ingram
From the show notes:
“I’ve been talking about The Two Fridas for years with hundreds of students and teachers, and I even have a chapter of my upcoming memoir dedicated to it. But when Allison Crow chose it for today’s podcast episode, I was happy to get to spend more time with it, but I wasn’t really expecting any big new insights about the painting.
Gosh was I wrong.
And I’m not that surprised. Allison, my friend, coach, writing buddy, and author of the new book, Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human (affiliate link), is nothing if not brilliant and insightful. I absolutely loved this conversation with her about The Two Fridas.
We talked about so much in that hour–knowing ourselves, being present with our pain, our emotions, and all of our parts, and the beauty and healing power of connection.
After our discussion, we noted that Frida is a beautiful model for us on how to live authentically and how to be truly there and present with ourselves.
It was such a beautiful conversation, and I hope you enjoy it too.”
The Third Way with Justin Foster – Episode 77 Art & ADHD with Allison Crow
Allison Crow is an internal family systems and self-leadership coach based in Austin. She is also the author of the book “Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human.” We’ve been on a similar path of mid-life awakenings, harnessing our gifts, and increasing our self-love and self-understanding.
As with all of my guests, our conversation could have been on a vast array of topics but Allison and I settled on the topic of “Art + ADHD” – continuing a theme from my conversation with Caden.
In this episode, Allison and I both answer the following:
How does ADHD affect creativity (both ideation and output)?
How can creativity help regulate ADHD?
What are some systems and practices for ADHDers that make a living as a creator?
The Exmormonology Podcast with Amy Logan Episode 109
I am excited to share with all y’all wildflowers a conversation I have with my friend and fellow life coach Allison Crow. Allison just released her new book Unarmoured: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human. Allison was raised a devout Christian in the south, Texas. Although not raised mormon, Allison has experienced her own faith crisis. I know you will love our discussion and we ebb and flow about life and heartbreak and healing and busting out of the “being a made up woman my religion taught me to be,” type of thinking.

Writing Your Way Home on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast with Karen Goldfinger Baker:
From the episode notes: Allison Crow, M.Ed. is an author and the founder of Soul-Full Living, a coaching practice that helps clients work through thoughts, emotions, and behaviors using an approach based on Internal Family Systems. In addition to her work as a coach, Allison is the creator and host of the podcast, the Better Life Better Work Show, where she facilitates conversations on authentic leadership and developing better life and work habits. She holds a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and received her Internal Family Systems skills training from the IFS Institute. Her book, Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human, is scheduled for release in December 2022.
Allison joins me today to discuss her book and her relationship with writing. She describes her childhood, the environment she grew up in, and her ADHD diagnosis at 50. She explains why a life built on dopamine hits is unsustainable and elaborates on how building slow, boring habits improved her life. She also highlights how being self-centered is one of the most loving things you can do for others and underscores how writing helps us remember who we are.
“Writing helps me remember who I am. We live in a world of forgetting, and writing helps me remember—it takes my inside out instead of putting something from the outside in.”

Integrating All of Ourselves with Allison Crow on Enough, The Podcast with Mandy Lehto
How do you “do” enoughness? What are the steps to come back to wholeness? Is it as simple as chanting a mantra on repeat?
I am enough
I am enough
I am enough
How’s that working for you?
Yeah, me neither.
If you know me at all, you know I like practical. This episode is for the do-ers.
Allison Crow is our guest.
She’s a brilliant transformational coach, but I didn’t invite her on as an expert today.
I’m curious about the practices that other thought-leaders do for themselves.
What modalities are they using?
What are their rituals?
And what can we learn from them?
Allison is IN the messy work of being in relation with all the parts of herself — especially the ones that nobody claps for.
She shares her experience of Internal Family Systems, a modality she’s currently immersed in. Important note: She’s not teaching or talking as a practitioner, but as a woman on her own journey.
I wanted you to experience the realness of someone in the work, and what that might bring up for you, as you listen.
Hit play. See you on the other side.

She explains how the coaching world can sometimes be damaging and highlights the importance of softness and compassion in the industry. Allison also discusses why there is no such thing as a ‘negative’ emotion and underscores the role of trust in authenticity.”
“To be your true self, you have to trust yourself; to trust yourself, you have to meet parts of yourself that the world, media, and culture consider ‘negative’ emotions.” – Allison Crow”
