The Barely Perceptible Shift From Striving to Easy

If you’re a high-achiever who has built your life on hard work, dedication and getting difficult tasks done, you probably can’t imagine what it would be like to allow your life to happen in a way that is organic and easy.  Just let things happen however they happen??? It might even sound kind of “wrong”.  You might think to yourself that everything good in your life has been built by the achiever in you who knows how to get great things accomplished.  But what if all of that power and passion you bring to your work and your life could be directed toward a life of ease? What if “easy” doesn’t mean what you think it does?  This is a tiny little nuance that will not only change the way you think about the word “easy” but will (hopefully) revolutionize the way you experience your life.

Why Story Outweighs Advice Every Single Time

Many people hesitate to share their personal stories due to vulnerability and fear of judgment. However, hidden wisdom often resides within these narratives. Sharing intimate experiences can deepen connections and transform both the storyteller and the listener. Personal stories, especially those that reveal failures, can enhance credibility and relatability. As AI-generated content rises, authentic storytelling becomes even more vital. Ally urges listeners to take small steps in revealing their unique stories, fostering personal growth and connection.

How Radical Honesty Makes You Unstoppable

When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”?  Or do you tell the truth?  You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you?  Are you in touch with your own truth?  Are you able to share it with at least one trusted person?  And have you considered the power and possibility of sharing your truth more broadly?  This is what I’m exploring in today's episode. No matter how impossible it might seem to tell the truth — no matter who you think it might hurt or what you worry would unravel, the old maxim is right: only really the truth can set you free.  Watch the Martha Beck + Tim Ferris conversation that was mentioned HERE!

What Yoga Taught Me About Getting What You Want

Do you believe there’s more to life than what you can see?  If so, how does this affect the way you move through the world?  Does it impact how you make decisions; how you deal with disappointment; how you make meaning from your story?  What about not getting what you want?  In today’s episode, I share a message that came to me through my yoga practice and talk about how it brought peace to a situation where I’m not getting what I want.  If there’s more to life than what we see, then maybe “what we want” is about much more than getting what we want. Sounds simple on the surface but tell that to yourself when you want something and you’re not getting it.  Whatever it is that you want but can’t have right this minute, I hope this episode brings you some peace.

What You Want Is Sacred (and Meaningless)

My five year old daughter recently asked me why sometimes we ask God for things and she doesn’t give them to us (I secretly love that she refers to God as female, even though we’ve never gendered God in our house).  As I processed the answer to her question — and thought about all the things I’ve wanted in my life but never gotten — I recorded this episode.  This episode is an in-real-time, thinking-out-loud kind of an episode. More of a “questions” kind of episode than an “answers” kind of episode.  But maybe, as I talk out loud to myself about what it means to want something and not have it, you’ll hear something that resonates with you that you can take with you on your own journey of wanting and not having.  What do you want that you don’t (yet) have?  The answer to that question might be a powerful invitation on a journey that will change your life forever.
