The post Just Hit Publish appeared first on Allison Crow.

Okay, There are two parts to this episode.

There is the before Santa Fe part, there is the after Santa Fe part and I do not find it coincidental.
There’s before heart attack and after heart attack.
And so this is a two part episode. All in one episode.

This is the final episode of The Better Life, Better Work Show.

Next week when you tune back It will be a new podcast title.

Love,

Allison

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 really good to me.

So, you can expect my glorious book in December, I’m excited, the title is called Unarmed.
We do not have a subtitle yet.

What I wanna do today is give you a little bit of an update, both personally and professionally.
It has been, for me, a really emotional summer.

And there is a part of me that as I get calm and grounded,
and as I have been through the unhinged swampy swamp bug soup of the summer of 2022,
I’m ready.

I’m ready to take stock. I’m ready to clear the clutter. Definitely ready to clear the clutter.
I am ready to hone in on some of the beautiful things I wanna share with you.

Love,

Allison

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’t reminded from birth that…

A calm, nervous system is everything I know.

Your nervous system, that is connected to your brain and  runs through your entire body can be in a state of calm and relaxation and regulation.

It can also be slightly aroused, alerted on anticipatory noticing that something might be up and then it can be completely fucking hijacked.

Calm is primary

Love,

Allison

What’s up?nbsp;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 direct expense of sometimes getting businesses is and what sometimes the indirect expense of getting business is.

You don’t have to do ads. You can, if you want, you don’t have to do cold calls, but you know what you gotta do?

You gotta show up in the room!

When you’re watching, you’re only getting what you can get, you’re not giving what you can give.

You don’t have to talk about your work but who you be in the room builds trust.

You build trust and it leads to more sales. 

Love,

Allison

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. 

To this glorious human life that has shown up in the themes of my work over the last few years as:
Both/And, Woman of Range, Authentic and Ambitious, More is Not Better Better is Better, Feel it All & Lead Your Parts. 

Unarmored is worth it and it’s intense sometimes.

Love,

Allison

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 good of all happening and for many, many, many years
I was what I call a delusional optimist.

I didn’t know I was delusional then, but I was an optimist.
Y’all I am a glass half full gal and now I’m not, but I am.
Um, so it’s interesting, right?

I just have a fire in my belly I wanna share with y’all about self trust.

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 a legit coaching modality, too.  

Enjoy our conversation!

Love,

Allison

The post IFS Coaching Jam #2 w/ Dr. Erin M Baker appeared first on Allison Crow.

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 distinction between care taking parts and self energy, capital S E L F. 

My very first exposure to IFS was with leadership coach, Rebecca Ching. 

On our second call, she was like, oh, by the way, don’t coach your parts.

Now I can translate that to don’t teach your parts, don’t parent your parts and don’t coach your parts.
There is a presence, an acclimation with self energy, that is so powerful for all these parts that try to control and fix everything.

These are called Care Taking Parts.

Model of SELF-Managers, Firefighters, and Exiles of IFS

To slow the process down and to allow yourself and your parts to attune. Energetically & physically, without words for a moment just to be in the presence. Just the powerful witness and listening will soften the tension in these parts and they will relax and let self lead.

There are eight “C”s of Self:

Calm, Connected. Compassionate. Curious. Confident. Creative. Clear. and Courageous.
There is no specific order.

Love,

Allison
