She reflects on her career shifts, including a political run, her academic pursuits, and community gardening efforts involving personal, professional, and spiritual growth. Colette shares her struggle with cancel culture, dealing with political and personal attacks, and the importance of self-awareness in activism and community involvement. She emphasizes the importance of resilience, authenticity, and vision despite facing extreme adversity and the challenges of social expectations.

I hope you get surrounded with people who are kind enough to understand you and even if you can’t expect everyone to adjust for you, I hope you get extra patience from this world.” — Kylie Yzobelle Key Topics and Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:08 Colette’s Background and Work 03:48 Personal and Professional Challenges 07:02 Running for Office and Facing Adversity 09:27 Navigating Political, Academic, and Spiritual Struggles 13:01 Reflections on Pain, Privilege, and Growth 25:14 Systemic Issues and Personal Resilience 29:46 The Weight of Awareness 30:38 Embracing Sadness and Hope 32:14 Understanding Bypassing 33:25 Facing Trauma and Healing 36:21 The Journey from Head to Heart 37:35 Learning to Feel and Express Emotions 48:13 Building a SELF-Centered Legacy   * Visit: Website: https://allisoncrow.com/ * Find out more about 1:1 coaching with Allison https://allisoncrow.com/coachingwallison/ * Internal Family Systems Coaching and a brief IFS Model Overview https://allisoncrow.com/ifs/ * Get your copy of UNARMORED: Finding Home in the Wild Edge of Being Human https://allisoncrow.com/unarmoredthebook/ https://www.tiktok.com/@allison_crow https://www.instagram.com/allison_crow/ https://www.facebook.com/wildesgesofbeinghuman

    Lessons Learned from Gabor Mate & Compassionate Inquiry

    Welcome back! In today’s episode, I delve into lessons I’ve learned from one of my favorite teachers and approaches ~ Gabor Maté and Compassionate Inquiry.  I explore his method as a facilitator, the importance of gaining consent, his views on addiction as attempts to solve suffering, and authenticity versus attachment. Reflecting on his teachings, I discuss the impact of the “still-face experiment” and how connection to self is crucial in our healing journeys. I’ll also share insights on over-functioning as a coping mechanism and Gabor’s perspective on thriving in a sick world. Join me as we reconnect with ourselves and each other.   00:00 Introduction to Gabor Maté and Compassionate Inquiry 00:45 Facilitation Techniques and Interruptions 02:37 The Role of Consent in Facilitation 03:07 Understanding Addiction and Suffering 06:56 The Still Face Experiment 10:23 Authenticity vs. Attachment 18:01 Overfunctioning and Coping Mechanisms 20:46 The Impact of a Sick World on Emotional Health 22:45 Present Moment Awareness and Self-Connection   The Still Face Experiment: https://youtu.be/YTTSXc6sARg?si=9a1-oDJfE69BESL- Gabor Maté Website: https://drgabormate.com/ The Myth Of Normal: https://amzn.to/3zoVdmc Compassionate Inquiry: https://compassionateinquiry.com/   * Visit: Website: https://allisoncrow.com/ * Find out more about 1:1 coaching with Allison https://allisoncrow.com/coachingwallison/ * Internal Family Systems Coaching and a brief IFS Model Overview https://allisoncrow.com/ifs/ * Get your copy of UNARMORED: Finding Home in the Wild Edge of Being Human https://allisoncrow.com/unarmoredthebook/ https://www.tiktok.com/@allison_crow https://www.instagram.com/allison_crow/ https://www.facebook.com/wildesgesofbeinghuman

    Bug Soup & Updates

    Hello Hello Humans! I feel like a little kid getting back on a bicycle, It’s been a couple of months since I podcasted.  Bug Soup is the time during chrysalis when the caterpillar disintegrates and devolves  and physically, materially turns into an gooey mess before it regenerates into the butterflies that bless us all.  It’s a metaphor for a stage of creation and a stage of life.   Who else is in and has been in Bug Soup? I have been for quite some time.  It feels like whack a mole and it is just life.  I just want to acknowledge the humanity of seasons of Bug Soup no matter what causes them.  Love,  Allison _______________________________________________________________________________________ Resources: * Visit: Website: www.allisoncrow.com * Find out more about 1:1 coaching with Allison * Internal Family Systems Coaching and a brief IFS Model Overview * Get your copy of UNARMORED: Finding Home in the Wild Edge of Being Human
