    Ep. 24 – A Pause & Pivot: Life as a Manifesting Generator

    This is very Manifesting Generator of me… but I’m pausing the podcast (for now!) to make space for the next version to drop in. In this episode, I’m unpacking why following excitement, honoring pivots, and clearing space might just be our greatest superpowers.

    Ep. 23 – The 5 Stages of Reconnecting with Yourself

    Deep connection with others starts with the micro-decisions you make with yourself. In this episode, I opened up my journal archive and uncovered the five stages that helped me feel more grounded, more powerful, and more me. These aren’t overnight transformations – they’re subtle shifts that build over time. From listening to what your anxiety is trying to tell you, to noticing when you’re crossing your own boundaries, to spending money in ways that actually feel aligned. Wherever you are on your self-connection journey, my hope is that this episode helps you recognize how far you’ve come – and where you might want to go next. FYI – the tool I’ve used to help me on the journey of reconnecting with myself is To Be Magnetic. If you’re interested in To Be Magnetic, use code ALLIE8957 for 15% off your Pathway Membership.

    Ep. 22 – The Sneaky Energy That’s Holding You Back

    Saying “I’ll do it tomorrow” over and over is exactly what keeps us stuck. But why is that voice so convincing? Today I’m unpacking the sneaky energy of resistance — how it shows up in my own life (like not wanting to leave the corporate world or put myself out there), and how it quietly convinces us that something else is always more important than our growth. Let’s learn how to see it, nod, and keep walking – before it talks us out of everything we actually want.

    Ep. 21 – For When You Feel Like the Odd One Out in Your Friend Group

    Lately, I’ve felt like I’m orbiting around my friends’ lives, not really in them. These are people I love deeply — we have years of history — but our paths are starting to look really different. They’re settling into marriages and motherhood. I’m still chasing my wildest dreams. In this episode, I’m unpacking what it means to grow in a different direction than the people you love — and the courage it takes to keep evolving. How do you hold space for someone else’s dream while staying loyal to your own? And how do you know when things no longer feel aligned? Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Orbiting around friends’ lvies 04:43 Having the courage to grow 12:30 Grieving that your lives look different 17:18 Figuring out a new way to connect 20:23 Supporting your friends’ wildest dreams 23:03 Knowing when to leave the party 24:56 You’re not alone Where to find me: Video podcast also available on YouTube.

    Ep. 20 – You Can't Move Cities Out of Fear - Trust Me, I Tried

    I said yes to things in my 20s that make me want to scream in my 30s – and moving cities after getting robbed was one of them. I thought it was an empowering decision to move back home, but in hindsight it was rooted in fear. Today I’m talking about what happens when fear makes our decisions for us, and how learning to build internal safety has been the most freeing shift I’ve made. If you’ve ever felt like you had to run just to feel okay ormade decisions that now make you cringe a little — this episode is for you. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:50 What happened in San Francisco 16:17 Expansion vs contraction 17:54 Quest of safety 24:59 Putting myself back in a box 33:01 Biggest blindspot 34:43 Creating my own safety and security Where to find me: Video podcast also available on YouTube.

    Ep. 19 - Shakeups, Things You Can't Unsee, & Locking the F*ck In

    Ahhh, let’s rest. Lately, it feels like we’ve all been on shaky ground. For me, the shakiness comes from trying to balance building a podcast, working a full-time job, not burning out (again), keeping my skin clear, managing stress… the list goes on. But the more I prioritize rest, the more clarity I find. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the questions that surfacein those quieter moments: What are we giving the most air time to? How do we talk ourselves into doing what we truly want? And how do our habits hold us through the shakeups? Come explore it all with me.

    Ep. 18 - The Trademark Claw Back That’s Making Me Rethink Everything

    They approved my podcast name... and then took it back. So now I’m rethinking everything. In this episode, we’re going back to the drawing board—looking at the name, the concept, and how I want the show to feel. I’m pulling inspiration from graphic tees and the time I had a front-row seat to the most intense (yet incredible) week of my brother’s life. This is about staying flexible with the how and continuing the path towards your greatest vision. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:52 Setting the foundation & owning the IP 07:56 Trademark troubles 10:57 Why I’m going back to the drawing board 24:56 Using graphic tees as a guide 34:41 Embracing the creative process 41:56 Creating space for spectacular ideas Where to find me: Video podcast also available on YouTube.

    Ep. 17 - They Told Me I Should Marry a Rich Man

    At a work dinner, someone told me I should move cities, marry a rich man, and quit my job. I strutted out of the restaurant channeling Cher — “I am a rich man” — but on the drive home, I felt deeply misunderstood. In this episode, I unpack what it’s like to be projected onto, the discomfort of feeling unseen, and how that moment pushed me to ask a new question: How can I make sure I’m fully seeing myself? If you’ve ever left a conversation feeling small, underestimated, or erased — this one’s for you. Timestamps: 00:00 They told me to marry a rich man 06:53 Unseen, underestimated, & misunderstood 10:17 How can I see myself? 16:26 Have your own sh*t going for you 20:00 The world is your playground Where to find me: Video podcast also available on YouTube.
