The Wild Edges of Being Human

Hello, Soul-Full People. Today I have something special for you.

I’m super excited & I wanted to give all my po...

Hello human, it’s Allison. I see this thing that so many people are doing. I do it to myself too, and I’m working on changing this thing. I just see so much suffering on top of suffering and I see so much judgment. There’s a couple of core and identity beliefs I hear come through my clients, most human beings & even super successful people on a regular basis. It’s not f...

This one is good! I got some good shit for you today. Okay Allison, what does the Wild Edge of Being Human have to do with business? This is the way it’s always been and it’s taken me almost 18 years to get some language for it. I don’t know if you know, but I am a strategic process expert. Whatever you think I’m an expert at. What it really is, is strategy. Love, Allison _...

Hey, hey, Soul-Full people on The Wild Edge of Being Human. Today I want to talk about the illustrious alignment. I wanna talk about today is some bullshit I see people doing to themselves in the personal development industry. I get it. I’ve done it to myself and I’m completely over it. It’s about pointing out some suffering that we are stepping in to suffering that need not be....

I’ve got some stories I want to tell y’all. This story has to do with the number one thing I see every day in the service based business world that service based business owners are not doing.  Oprah ain’t coming. Oprah ain’t coming. No one is coming to pick you out of obscurity and so it is your job to bet on yourself. Love, Allison The post Embrace the Gamble: Max Be...

Love, Allison Th...

This is episode 181 of the Better Life Better Work show. I’m Alison Crow and I am here in my office, not in my truck, miraculously. I am in my office painting and drawing for my forthcoming book. We have a December 6th publish date. It’ll be ready before then, but I didn’t wanna publish in November. I don’t know why. Just the energies of December 1st week of December felt r...

I would like to have calm and happy. Calm is one of my gateway, entry ways, of cultivating self energy, of cultivating source energy & of cultivating presence. As many of you know, but I’m gonna go ahead and repeat over and over and over again, for those of us, all of us in the front, in the middle, in the back on the sides, not even here, that need to be reminded because we weren’...

What’s up? I wanna share something. This is a recording of a video I did last year that popped up in my memories on Facebook and the second I started listening I knew I had to share this content with you because I still see it happen. I know this episode will help you and hopefully put a gently loving fire under your booty.   I don’t think a lot of people realize what the dir...

It’s another car episode.  Today I wanna just do a little riff on Unarmored, Unarmored Being, Unarmored Leadership.  I am definitely no master, but I am committed to the path. I’m gonna tell you what y’all… You commit to an authentic soulful life. I don’t know what it means for you.  I can tell you that for me an authentic life means being committed to a true life....

Here comes another car episode! Last week was intense. Last week was the week that the Supreme Court of the United States really overreached and not just one decision, Roe V Wade, but in many decisions.  It just shows me how much we trust “the systems.”  We trust faith. We trust faith because we were told everything will work out. We have this innate belief in the highest goo...

This is Alison Crow and Karen Goldfinger Baker and this is episode number 176 of the Better Life Better Work Show. I have one of my favorite unfuckery guests here. We’re gonna be talking about Leadership Trauma. I have my own version of what leadership trauma is because I experienced it and Karen has a different concept hypothesis that she’s gonna share with us. Enjoy! Love, Allison __...

I’m here with Dr. Erin M Baker,  Dr. E is a fellow coach and this episode is another IFS Jam – where we just visit and exchange ideas and stories about Internal Family Systems Coaching, nuances we are learning through experience, and valuable updates on how this work is serving our clients and ourselves.  So much is out in the world about IFS as a therapy modality, and it is...

  I have a quick episode for you today. I want to share an important IFS tip, especially for those who have kind of doing their own lay work and you haven’t had official training.  This is one of the best, most important things that my very first IFS coach slash therapist shared with me on our second session, almost in passing, but it changed everything. In IFS there is a distincti...

Ep 173 of the Better Life Better Work Show and today’s podcast topic is about why I made the shift full-on into IFS coaching. Yes, IFS is used in therapeutic settings.  It originated years ago in the clinical realm and has since spread to education, medicine, business, and coaching.   When my coach/therapist/leadership coach introduced me to IFS by giving me a handful of books...

Today this little episode is about what gives me hope when the world is shit and it doesn’t come from a place of airy fairy, it comes from a place of sitting with despair.  Yesterday was a day where physically and emotionally and in the world I felt despair and today I feel totally different because I remember a few things.  I want to be somebody who swings wide.  I want to be...

Hey, this is Alison Crow, welcome to the Better Life Better Work Show. This is episode number 171. It’s been a while since I’ve recorded an official podcast. I’ve done some driving in the car updates and honestly I feel wobbly and out of practice and there’s a lot going on in the world and there’s a lot going on in my life and there’s a lot going on in my family...

Y’all know as business owner...

Last night I went to bed, um, feeling the weight of the world, feeling the experience of caring too much and not being able to help enough.  I’ve talked to a couple of clients this week that have also felt the weight of responsibility and have so much going on in both their personal lives and in the world and then they feel guilty for complaining. Many of my loving, wonderful heart-cent...

I feel something strange and what I feel that is strange is because of my one thing, a slight perspective shift, nurturing practices. Some may call them habits but habits feel a little too harsh for me. You can’t really change your thinking and it’s really difficult to change your actions when your nervous system is fried. I’ve spent the last five years slowing the fuck down, slo...

Welcome to another riding in the car at the episode with Allison.  So it is, this is episode number 167 Everybody is struggling with something you don’t know about.  There’s a lot of stuff going on so I just want to acknowledge your humanness with so much compassion.  I see it everywhere, human beings trying to escape their own truth, trying to escape their connection with the...

Hey, Hey, I have an important distinction for my recovering overachiever, high performing Gen X business people who also grew up or maybe are still in faith-based communities. Faith versus trust.  We mix those two up. We mix faith and trust up. Faith is something we have in religion. Faith is something we have in magic. Faith is something we have even in quantum physics. Faith is evidence and...

Hello Hello!  So here’s the thing… y’all know. Y’all know, don’t you?  You know, you know exactly what you need to do to hit the result you need. Let’s tell some fucking truth to yourself about why you’re not getting the results. Tell yourself the truth about why you’re not getting the results that you want.  You’re not getting the res...
