The 'It's Your Life' Podcast

Alli and Erica rant about the healthcare system and the absolute disgrace that is postpartum healthcare culture in America.

Alli is trying to chill out so to help her do that please do not ask how old she is. Erica's fresh off a 2 hour bike ride in the heat and it shows.

We're talking food again this week and why it's weird to have your preferences and opinions out in the general public. Alli's got a cold so this one gets a bit weird, join us!

Alli's substack prompted this week's conversation as she and Erica dissect norms, expectations and continue to dig deeper into their human experiences.

On the other side of Allison's face swelling up (again) she's gotten more comfortable existing in between absolutes. Erica is still on the mend from her myomectomy and shares some psychology theories on attachment, authenticity and the value of accepting the reality of what "is".

Alli's been struggling with taking off her mask. The universe taunted her by creating a real one for her. Erica talks about her journey free-falling, rejecting narratives, struggling through identities and other esoteric bullshit. The Unlock Method: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/cd81e22d

Do you actually need protein cold foam or are you just being influenced by Big Protien? Alli and Erica share their thoughts on protein, food trends, intuitive eating and somehow, Taylor Swift?

Alli and Erica discuss their beef with glyphosate, why they choose organic over "convenient" and the mine field of social faux pas they work to avoid when trying to avoid willfully ingesting the pesticide, or more importantly giving them to Alli's baby, at events.

Alli and Erica are back from their trip and reflect on Italian summer and all its glory.

Allison and Erica dig into money, mindset, and identity — from manifesting cash flow to a 1970s kitten experiment that explains why we're blind to our own blind spots. Equal parts therapy session and stand-up bit, this episode asks: who are you when nobody's watching?

Erica and Allison unpack why they avoid being seen — cringe, fear of judgment, and stories we tell about who we "really" are. From a spontaneous LA trip to a "Be Seen" challenge, they trace how small daily actions rewire identity: thoughts become behaviors, behaviors become patterns, patterns become who you are.

Erica and Allison talk about feathers, owls, angel numbers, and those strange moments that feel like the universe is nudging you. Along the way, they open up about uncertainty, big life changes, and why sometimes simply paying closer attention can make the world feel a little more magical.

Allison is one foot out the corporate door and daring herself to design life on her own terms. Erica is in full recharge mode - embracing the stillness, the silence, and the electric feeling of knowing something big is coming.

It's almost a natural tendency to cling on to the familiar even when it's something we don't like. When we can let go, we open ourselves up to aligned possibilities that we could not imagine.

Alli has worked corporate jobs her entire career. She's completed the reports, met the deadlines, climbed the ladder, and ignored that longing inside for something...different. When she transitioned into motherhood, everything started to shift. She began asking...does this have to be it?
