Sometimes, all the things sent to break you end up being the exact things to MAKE YOU! In a more Allie 2.0 typical wording, what if the SHIT happens, so the SHIFT can happen?! Go with me for a moment. I’m not talking about stubbing your toe here or getting a speeding ticket. I’m talking about the BIG things. The things that occur, you find yourself thinking there’s no way I’m gonna survive this. The bad breakup or contentious divorce. The cancer diagnosis. The loss of a really close friend connection you never saw breaking. The well-intended boundary that leads to the dissolution of your family as you know it. Getting fired or laid off unexpectedly. I’m referring to that moment when you’re hurting so bad, you’re ugly crying on the floor of your shower, thinking you can’t go on.
These moments are THE MOMENTS in our lives. The make it or break it moments where you have to decide if you’re gonna sit in that smelly pile of shit, sulking in the comfort of victimhood and whoa is me mentality, and die, OR are you gonna find a way to get to your hands and knees and use every last bit of strength to climb out of that pit before you don’t even notice it smells anymore. What I can tell you from personal experience is that it is the people who claw their way out that get back up BETTER THAN EVER!!!
As a nurse, former multi-hospital CEO, and regional VP of operations, that fall was hard. Divorce, friend loss, dissolution of family, business betrayal, and job loss, trust me when I tell you I was sitting in the most enormous pile of shit imaginable. But I’m a single mom, with no partner, and no involved family, so there was NO ONE coming to rescue me. But it was in the journey of clawing my way out of that pit and back to solid dusty dirt in this desert we love, that I found ME. I found MY path, MY passion, MY way forward. My goal now?? Helping as many other women navigating difficulties find their way back to solid ground, and then some!
As much as I wish I had a magic wand to wave it all away, I don’t. What I do have is my experience, the knowledge of what works and what doesn’t, and a passion to help you navigate yours better, faster, and with FAR LESS PAIN than I endured. How? I’m officially launching a few things over the next short time. I’ve been doing some virtual coaching of a few select clients who reached out before I was even really offering the option. But now it’s officially going out. From 1:1 coaching for a handful as those slots are filling fast, to 6-8 week group coaching with modules/videos to navigate individually, a weekly meeting to track progress, answer your questions, and provide guidance, all by yours truly! Like my authentic/raw/vulnerable approach to just being honest about whatever comes our way? Then I think you’re going to love my new Podcast! Named just like the book, I will be exploring all sorts of topics of current interest with a variety of guests, starting with some pretty stellar local female entrepreneurs!
