    89. 10+ Things That Became Possible When I Stopped Running From My Emotions

    What if the thing you’re avoiding is the doorway to your power? In this episode of the You Get to Decide podcast, I share the 10 powerful shifts that happened when I stopped running from my emotions and started building emotional capacity instead. This is not about being emotional. This is about becoming unshakeable. I talk about: • Becoming a safer parent • Healing my eating disorder by feeling urges instead of numbing • Making friends with shame • Becoming nearly impossible to trigger • Building self-trust in uncertainty • Expanding my identity without collapsing • Why peace became my baseline If you’re a high achiever who feels stuck, overwhelmed, rushing to achieve, burnt out, or constantly triggered, this episode will show you why. Your emotions are not here to destroy you. They are messengers. And when you stop running, you become powerful.

    88. 10 Things I’d Want You to Know If You’re Ready to Quit on Yourself

    Hard seasons don’t mean you’re failing. They mean something inside you is being asked to lead differently. In this episode, I walk you through 10 things I’d want you to know if you’re ready to quit on yourself—based on the seasons where I wanted to quit and didn’t. You’ll hear exactly: What’s actually happening internally when quitting feels temptingWhy fear and protection often masquerade as logicHow I stopped letting emotions dictate my decisionsWhy staying present changed my energy, clarity, and confidenceWhat it looks like to stay self-led without certaintyThis is for anyone who knows they’re meant for more and refuses to walk away from themselves. And if you know deep down that you’re meant for more, but you keep starting, stopping, and losing momentum, I created a 3-day live training just for that. Meant for More is happening February 17–19. This is not motivation. This is not mindset fluff. This is self-leadership. Over three days, I’ll teach you how to stop letting old identities run the show, how to bring safety back online in your body, and how to move forward without forcing, fixing, or abandoning yourself. You can register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/lqucsKibSnS6H3pdABSSSw You don’t need to become someone new. You need to return to yourself and what's been true all along.

It’s a live space where I teach these concepts, answer questions, and help you apply them to your real life, not just understand them intellectually.

    87. 10 Things I Learned as a Lifelong Addict (and How I Changed My Relationship With It)

    Addiction is not about the substance. It’s about relief. In this episode, I share the 10 most important things I learned during my hardest season living in addiction, specifically food addiction, but this conversation goes far beyond food. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a pattern you “should be past,” If you’ve carried shame about behaviors you don’t understand, If you’ve tried control, discipline, or willpower and still felt stuck, this episode will change how you see yourself. I break down why addiction is a nervous system pattern, not a character flaw, why shame fuels compulsive behavior, and why control only tightens the grip. I also share what I never learned in recovery rooms, how identity and self-leadership actually heal patterns, and why your body has never been sabotaging you, only protecting you. This is not a recovery conversation rooted in fear or scarcity. This is a self-leadership conversation rooted in safety, identity, and choice. If you’ve been reaching for food, work, money, approval, productivity, scrolling, or control to feel okay inside your body, this episode is for you. You are not broken. You are not powerless. And nothing is wrong with you. If this episode resonated and you want to actually practice this work in real time, I host Teachings & Practice every Thursday. It’s a live space where I teach these concepts, answer questions, and help you apply them to your real life, not just understand them intellectually.

    86. 10 Things I Learned When I Stopped Letting My Mind Run the Show

    For a long time, I thought the work was fixing my mind. Or just shutting it up. What I eventually learned was this my mind didn’t need fixing it needed leadership. In this episode, I’m sharing 10 things I learned when I stopped letting my mind run the show, after coming out of one of the longest and hardest seasons of my life. Because your brain on factory settings will always choose safety and smallness over truth and what’s actually possible. It pulls from the past to predict the future. It defaults to familiar patterns and energy conservation even when those patterns are costing you your body, your business, your confidence, or your peace. I walk you through how thoughts actually create results, why awareness alone doesn’t change behavior, how the brain and body work together to keep you stuck, and what it really looks like to interrupt self-sabotage in real time especially around money, food, visibility, boundaries, and ambition. I also share what I do when those factory settings try to take the lead and how to step into your power and stay there. This episode is about reclaiming the authority you handed over to fear, urges, conditioning, and old identities. You’ll hear how I stopped negotiating with my mind, learned to separate thoughts from decisions, and trained my nervous system to hold both ease and challenge as I stepped into bigger goals and higher-quality problems. If you’ve been doing the work, building awareness, and still feel like you gain momentum and then hide, this episode will show you why. And if you want support applying this in your own life: I’m hosting MEANT FOR MORE, a free 3-day live training February 17–19 at noon EST, where I teach why your mind defaults to smallness and how to lead yourself from your most powerful identity instead.

    85. 10 Things I Learned After Years of Chronic Anxiety and Worry

    Anxiety isn’t a flaw. It isn’t weakness. And it isn’t something you’re destined to live with forever. In this episode, I share 10 of the most important things I learned after living for years with chronic anxiety and worry, in my body, in my mind, and in my daily life. We talk about: Why anxiety is a messenger, not the enemy How worry becomes a false form of control The real reason your nervous system craves certainty Why safety doesn’t happen in your thoughts, it happens in your body How leadership, not avoidance, changes anxiety What happens when you stop abandoning yourself Why identity work was the deepest healing layer for me And how presence and slowness calm what urgency fuels This episode is not just about “getting rid” of anxiety. It’s about understanding it, leading it, and creating safety from the inside out. So when it does pop up you have the tools to "get rid of it" If anxiety has been running your life, this conversation will help you understand it differently, and show you what’s actually possible.

    84. 10 Things I Learned About Shame and the Spirals It Creates

    Shame is one of the most powerful forces keeping us stuck, small, and disconnected from who we really are. In this episode, Allison breaks down the facts about shame, what a shame spiral actually is, how it forms in the body before the mind ever gets involved, and why shame feels so true, urgent, and necessary even when it isn’t factual. You’ll learn why some people collapse inward while others project outward, how shame disconnects you from your highest-level thinking, and why most shame spirals don’t actually resolve, they just get interrupted. Most importantly, Allison shares The Return of You™ method, the process she uses personally and with clients to neutralize shame, restore safety in the body, and return to aligned action without fixing, forcing, or abandoning yourself. This episode is for anyone who knows they are capable of more, but keeps getting pulled off course by patterns they don’t fully understand yet.

    82. Self-Forgiveness: Putting Down the Past and Walking Into the New Year Clean

    This is the final episode of the year, and I’m sharing it from a place of deep gratitude, honesty, and real life. In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to end a year without dragging shame, regret, or old identities into the next one. I share how self-forgiveness has been the fastest path to healing in my own life and why being harder on yourself has never been the thing that creates change. If you’ve struggled this week with rest, routine, motivation, or the emotional aftermath of the holidays, you’re not alone. I share openly about my own challenges during this in-between time and how I’m learning to meet myself with compassion instead of judgment. You’ll be guided through a powerful reflection I use in my own life and with my clients What worked What didn’t work What I’ll do differently Not from shame, but from curiosity, wisdom, and growth. We’ll also talk about forgiveness in a new way, not as something you force, but as something you give back. Letting go of old beliefs, past choices, and identities that no longer belong to you so you can walk into the new year lighter, clearer, and more grounded. This episode is an invitation to close the year with grace, put down what no longer serves you, and step forward with intention. You Get To Decide: Teachings + Practice Room: Starting January 8th, I’ll be hosting a live weekly teaching and practice every Thursday at 12:00 PM Eastern, based on that week’s podcast episode.
