Year End Musings 2018

 

Hi Loves,

As we approach the new year, I’m sending you love, and deep self-trust.

Visiting with my Soulie clients this week, we were all laughing about how much pressure we make up and put on ourselves because the calendar year changes.   It’s just a day. 

I love ceremony, and ritual, and new beginnings,  but not at the expense of shame and pressure.  Ah, the subtle shame of self-development.  And while I like to think I don’t get all monkey mind about this stuff, this year I did for a few days. 

My coach asked me a profound question last week when I was fretting about how much screen time I was spending and how I was rotting my brain on social media.  

“Allison, what if you didn’t judge yourself? What if nothing else changed and you simply stopped judging yourself.”

I would totally enjoy being on social media and I would be so grateful for the community, clients, and connection I’ve made in the 10 years I’ve been on social!  I would be free to feel joy!

Wow… not judging my goal, my circumstance…my progress, my success or failure….LIBERATING!

  • Today I am remembering that I am enough and am reminding you that you are too.
  • Today I am remembering that in 2018 I did way more than enough….and so did you. 
  • Today I am remembering that there is no pressure to make any resolution or set any goal that is not truly my own…and I’m giving you permission to do the same. 
  • Today I am loving what is and releasing any stories or judgment that steal my joy!

I just wanted to pop in your sacred inbox and share some of this goodness with you.  Thank you for reading. 

Love, and Happy Day Every Day, 

Your favorite life coach, Allison

  • Are you a recovering over-achiever? I am. Maybe you have been doing and accomplishing and creating and meeting goals so long you tremble at even the slightest sense of space and lack of stimulation? I’m speaking especially to you #midlifewomen. You know every detail of your rocking financial PnL but how is your Emotional PnL? Your Energetic PnL, or your Physical PnL. We were once driven by people pleading through performance- and ultimately it leaves us thirsty. There can be a way to pull back the performance grind, fill your being, and create Soul-Full Success. It just requires a few new midlife skills. I won’t get into all of them here and now? But if you’ve read this far- take a long and deep breath- a pause. This one moment. Just for you. 💛 Then comment “I breathe.” That’s all for now. Just breathe. And begin to consider that you can have a both/and empire. #soulfullmogul
  • 19 years ago. A story of change. I found this while packing when we moved back to central Texas. Circa 2000. I was 27 or so. A kindergarten teacher -possibly tech coordinator by then. I love this woman so much.... under 30 Allison- so much is about to change for you--- life is going to throw a major curve.... your husband... the one you are about to marry... will want to leave just after 2 years and you are gonna hop lanes into the self employment world.... into real estate for a while (to get excellent sales and business training and experience) and then... into personal and professional development. You are going to enjoy post divorce life and eventually meet your real partner in life. You will create more love and joy and meaning than you ever envisioned. You will not have 5 biological children or be a stay at home mom like you thought. In fact, you are about to discover that you have cancer- everything will be fine and taken care of with surgery. Nothing will turn out the way you thought you wanted. All that pain and loss will help you drop some strict judgements and religious beliefs and step on to more expansive path with an open heart and mind that will set you free. You still love dogs, but you work in rescue now. Oh. And you have much better teeth! Eventually you do get the big boobs you want--- but not via surgery - instead.... you actually grow into a woman's body. Curvy and soft but beautiful and strong. You also pick back up the colors and paints you put down as a child. And your knack for technology and love of computers helps you create global connections and clientele way beyond the little Texas life you live in this photo. I could go on and on..... there's a song Garth Brooks sings.... called "Unanswered Prayers" and like in the song - you will thank God that your prayers weren't answered because something 10000x Better comes along. Oh, Beloved Divine.... I'm so glad you know better than me and I am thankful for those #unansweredprayers . #youngerself #everythingreallydoesworkout How have you changed drastically from the person you were 20 years ago?
  • New #betterlifebetterworkshow #podcast episode with guest host @taraleduc is live! This week Tara is sharing on the topic of ABANDONMENT- and gives us a great self check in to notice where we might be abandoning ourselves. I know that some days I can abandon myself to my fears and my discomfort and I have certainly had a a bad habit of abandoning my own deepest desires in the past to the comforts of my relationships with men. Listen in and let Tara and I know what you think. What insights are sparked? . Loving you all and so thankful for my #bravesociety sisters for jumping in to serve the #betterlifebetterwork audience this May!
  • I love a Monday... and sometimes it it tempting to jump straight into implementing ideas. And then my spirit whispers, “Let us connect within first. Spend time with me. Surrender. Be infused with ME... this life this work is OURS together. Take time to REMEMBER who you are.” Takin this co-creation time with my Soul is essential for my true version of success. Get in alignment and then. . Is the Divine part of your business? What practices support your heart and work. How do you create success with Soul? 💛 #SoulFullMogul #soulfullsuccess #getinalignmentandthen #slowdowntospeedup #outragesopenness #divinefeminineoracle #iam #journalingprayers
  • Life Engineer: #fridayintroductions 💛 I shared a Lyft to the Airport with a young engineer from Seattle. He was amazed that I was self-employed~ as in -I am my own boss. He asked lots of questions about coaching- and ya know what- coaching is a lot like engineering (I took a few classes). I help clients engineer their minds in ways that support their life and work, and ultimately help their Soul be FULL. . I help successful recovering overachievers bring their souls back to life, and I help SoulFull people create a life & businesses that succeed- mostly through LIFE COACHING. . I’m proud to call my self a LIFE coach- life is the best gift we have been given and it is an honor to support my clients and my family by doing this work. . I’m happy to be a #companyofone and a #SoulFullMogul Personally, I’m totally a homebody, a dog mom of three rescues (two foster failures). I’m married to a hilarious retired teacher-now-professional-author/writer. We love to play slot machines and laugh and Netflix and chill, and read. #boringbuthappy 💛 Allison . 📷 @brookegenn
  • The Faces of my #bravesociety #braveleadership #SoulFullMogul friends, mentors, and colleagues. @thetaranewman heads up the Bold Leadership Revolution. She curates and Leads The BRAVE Society I belong to. I know a lot of leaders and coaches after 16 years in the BIZ and this woman has the skills and the soulful spirit. Today I KNEW I was in the right room. And with just a look this woman gave me I knew I already had my own answers and was just hemhawing around avoiding my full power. #nobullshitleadership. #milliondollarcoach #letsdothis 💛💜 . Ps. I’m taking back purple, the world BOLD and the concept of LEADERSHIP from my corporate years. #companyofone
  • Which one would you have on your desk? Comment below 💛😂
  • Binaural Beats to calm my ass down. About a week a month I get in an info/learning binge - and these often end up in comparisons I don’t take it slow and with precise intention. Also- spending more time under the noise cancelling headphones. Slow down to speed up. Breathe. Breathe again. And again. Then dive back in gently.
