    The Past Is Still Spending Your Energy

    Why can certain full moons and eclipses leave us feeling completely exhausted? In this episode, I explore Carolyn Myss’s concept of calling your spirit back: reclaiming the attention, time and life-force energy we continue sending toward past experiences, outdated identities and unresolved stories. I also connect this spiritual idea to what science tells us about learned protection, predictive processing and perseverative cognition—when the body continues preparing for something that is no longer happening. In this episode, we discuss: Why some astrological events may feel more significant than othersAstrology as a mirror—not a mandateWhat it means to live from an outdated version of yourselfCarolyn Myss’s concept of calling your spirit backThe subtle ways we give our power to the pastWhy choice is the fundamental power of the human experienceWhy protective nervous-system responses can continue after a situation has endedHow rumination can affect heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol and heart-rate variabilitySummit takeaway: Your energy is needed here. Your spirit is needed here. Your life is happening here. *This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical or mental-health condition.

    The Shoulder, the Heart and the Things We Hold

    What if the shoulder is where you feel the pain—but not necessarily where the entire problem began? Lately, I have been seeing a pattern of shoulder and upper-arm pain in clinic without an obvious injury or clear mechanical onset. When the same presentation appears multiple times, I start looking beyond the painful structure and exploring what might be happening through all three layers: the physical body, the nervous system and the energetic or emotional body. In this episode, we discuss: Why the painful structure is not always the primary driverHow the neck, ribs, clavicle and shoulder blade affect arm movementWhy I look beyond the physical body when someone’s pain does not match their level of mechanical dysfunctionHow nervous-system state can influence muscle tone, breathing, pain sensitivity and recoveryThe shoulders and arms as tools of protection and actionWhat can happen when the body prepares to push, reach or protect—but we suppress the actionHow pain and guarding can reinforce one anotherHow I decide whether someone is ready to explore the deeper layersThe energetic relationship between the shoulders, arms and heart spaceThe Heart’s connection to summer, joy and connection in Traditional Chinese MedicineWhy working through all three layers can offer a more complete understanding of the pattern Summit takeaway: Sometimes the body is not holding one specific emotion. Sometimes it is holding the posture of an action it has been preparing to take.

    What Dolly Parton Taught Us About Living on Purpose

    Dolly Parton once said, “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” But she didn’t just say it—she built an entire life around it. In this episode, I share the clairsentient experience she had the day before Dolly’s passing and reflect on what Dolly taught us about authenticity, purpose, generosity and creating success that makes more room for other people. In this episode: Why finding yourself means refusing to cut yourself into more acceptable piecesHow Dolly built an empire in rhinestones without diminishing her intelligence, ambition or spiritualityWhy purpose is not what you say matters to you—it’s what your life repeatedly demonstrates that you care aboutHow Dolly used her success to create jobs, fund education and medical research, and support the community that raised herWhy someone else does not have to fail for you to succeedWhy people don’t have to understand what you’re building while you’re building itHow to use your gifts, influence, time and success to leave the world better than you found itThis episode asks us to consider: Because I was here—who had a better experience? Find out who you are. Do it on purpose. Wear the rhinestones, build the business, help your people—and trust that the right people will pick up what you put into the world.

    Think First. Ask Second.

    In this episode, I’m talking about why we might not always need another mentor, course, teacher or person telling us what to do. Sometimes the thing that actually builds confidence is getting our reps in, sitting in the discomfort of not knowing, and learning to trust our own ability to figure it out. We get into the science of self-efficacy, deliberate practice, autonomy, cognitive offloading and automation bias, and what can happen when guidance stops supporting our thinking. In this episode: Why my attempts to find intuitive mentors somehow always fall apart Why mastery experiences are one of the strongest ways we build self-efficacy Why the reps are what actually create confidence How “desirable difficulties” and struggling through the unknown can improve learning Why deliberate practice matters more than simply putting in the hours The difference between a mentor who gives you answers and one who teaches you how to think Why autonomy matters for learning, motivation and self-belief How cognitive offloading can become a problem when we outsource the exact skills we’re trying to develop What emerging AI research says about confidence, critical thinking and our reliance on external answers Automation bias and what happens when we trust an external recommendation over our own judgment Summit takeaway: Do the thing. Let yourself struggle at the thing. Refine the thing. And keep using your brain during the process. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who might need it.

    Who’s Taking Care of the Women?

    As women, we are so good at noticing. We notice what needs to be done, who needs support, who hasn’t had enough time for themselves, and how everyone around us is doing. But somewhere in all that noticing, we can forget that we need to be poured into too. In this episode: Why our definition of fun grows up with usThe magic of uninterrupted time with womenWhy being truly listened to feels so powerfulWhy friendship shouldn’t be something we squeeze in after everything else is doneWhy the same qualities that make women incredible can also drain usWanting fun that you come home from feeling more like yourselfScheduling “time-ins” before you desperately need a breakWhy not everything enjoyable needs to become another wellness practiceWhy we need to stop silently rooting for women and start rooting for them out loud Summit takeaway: We are so good at creating connection, taking care of people, building community, and making life beautiful for everyone around us—but sometimes we forget that we’re supposed to experience the beautiful life we’re creating too. If this episode resonated with you, send it to a woman you want to schedule a time-in with. Continue the conversation on Instagram: @alannacrawford_

    Ted Lasso Was Right: Stay Curious, Not Judgmental

    What do sports, healing, Ted Lasso, and the nervous system have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, I unpack a conversation that has been sitting with me for weeks—a discussion about professional sports, collective emotion, and whether something can be both deeply beautiful and deeply flawed at the same time. We explore why humans have gathered around sport for thousands of years, why shared experiences regulate our nervous systems, and why anything powerful enough to unite us can also expose what's unresolved within us. This isn't really an episode about sports. It's an episode about human behaviour. About collective healing. About learning to think beyond black and white. In this episode, we discuss: Why humans are biologically wired to seek community and shared experiencesThe history of sport as a tool for peace, grief, and social connectionWhy sports don't create emotions—they amplify what's already thereThe difference between healthy passion and dysregulated group behaviourWhat domestic violence statistics during major sporting events really tell usWhy removing the "vessel" rarely fixes the underlying problemThe importance of supporting organizations and communities that align with your valuesTed Lasso's greatest lesson: staying curious instead of judgmentalHow to participate in any movement without losing yourself to the crowdIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Come join the conversation over on Instagram @alannacrawford_, or share this episode with someone who loves understanding why humans behave the way we do.

    Baby Bye Bye Bye

    In this episode, we unpack the feeling of losing yourself and why “How do I find myself again?” might be the wrong question. We explore neuroplasticity, how life experiences and repeated choices shape the brain, and why the woman you were at 25 isn’t someone you need to get back to. This is a conversation about identity, the choices that build who you become, and how to stop looking in the rearview mirror and start casting votes for the woman you are becoming. In this episode: Why women feel like they’ve lost themselves during major life transitions Why “How do I find myself again?” might be the wrong question Neuroplasticity and the brain’s lifelong capacity to change How emotionally significant experiences can reshape the way we see ourselves and the world Why life events don’t automatically change us — and why our choices matter The difference between finding yourself and building yourself James Clear’s idea that every action is a vote for the person you want to become The solar plexus, identity, will, and personal power The sacral chakra, creation, joy, and following what pulls you Summit takeaway: “Start casting votes for the woman you are becoming.”

    Summer Energy

    In this episode, we explore what summer is actually asking of us. We unpack the science behind why we naturally feel different during the longer days, why our nervous systems crave more light, movement, and connection, and how working with the energy of the season can leave us feeling more alive instead of more exhausted. Through a personal story from a recent trip to Banff, we talk about the difference between productivity and presence—and why joy isn't something you earn. In this episode: Why every season has a different purpose and how nature offers a blueprint for our own livesHow longer daylight regulates your circadian rhythm and influences hormones, mood, energy, and sleepThe role of serotonin and why natural light supports emotional well-beingWhy humans are biologically wired to expand during the summer monthsSummer as the season of bloom: visibility, expression, joy, community, and connectionThe surprising lesson that came from leaving work behind and embracing an unplanned adventureWhy the "90s Summer" trend reflects our longing for presence, not just nostalgiaReflection questions to help you participate more fully in this season of lifeSummit takeaway: "You don't need to earn summer. Nature isn't asking you to accomplish more right now—it's inviting you to participate more. Summer isn't the season to force the harvest. It's the season to bloom, to be seen, and to experience the life you've been working so hard to build." If this episode resonated with you, I'd love if you shared it with someone who needs permission to slow down this summer. Tag me on Instagram @alannacrawford_ and let me know what's on your summer bucket list—I genuinely love seeing how you're bringing these conversations into your everyday life. If you're enjoying The Summit Effect, leaving a rating and review on your streamer. It is a great way to support the show and help more people discover this community. Thank you for being here, and I'll see you next Wednesday.
