Write Your Story with Ally Fallon
iHeartPodcasts
We are all creating the stories of our lives each day. Sometimes it’s hard to believe in a happy ending when were in the middle of chaos – or to understand the transformation we are undergoing when we're being tested over and over again – but I believe we are all here to learn, grow, and discover more of who we are in this life and I want to help you do exactly that. Let’s uncover the meaning of our stories together. The stories we tell ourselves about our life matter – and only we have the power to edit, upgrade or re-write them altogether. Only we have the power to become the hero we want to be. Only we can change the narrative of the story we’re telling ourselves. If we’re sick of being the “girl who got dumped” or the “guy who lost his job” or the “villlan,” the “helper”, etc — what choice do we have? We get creative and we write a new story. As a bestselling author, I’ve learned the principals that make stories tick and I've taken many of my life stories and put them to paper. What I have learned is that stories have a lot to teach us about what matters in life; and that one of the most powerful things you can do to heal is to face your story head-on. To co-create the ending. To uncover the thread that holds the whole thing together. To become the hero you would want to see on the screen. I’ve taught many others how to do this and I want to share these insights with you, too. Everyone wants to make meaning of their story (me included) and it’s never too late. You can become a completely new person with a whole new story in just a few short years. So let’s go on this journey together. Come with me as we explore how to become our authentic selves and live our true stories. We’ll explore personal growth, self-help, psychology, spirituality, and so much more. It’s never too late to rewrite your story.

Who Should (and shouldn’t) Write a Book?
The New York Times says that 85% of Americans believe they have a book in them. But should everyone who wants to write a book actually do it? And if not, who shouldn’t write a book? In today’s episode, I’ll share my personal take on this statistic and on who should (and shouldn’t) write a book. My answer may surprise you.

The Cost of Clarity
We ask for clarity, we say we want clarity, but when clarity tries to come, we also resist it. One of the reasons that clarity seems to elude us is that clarity is incredibly expensive. In today's episode, I’ll talk about what clarity costs us. What would you have to let go of in your life in order to find the clarity you’ve been craving?Follow Ally on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allyfallon/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How to Tell the Truth While “Staying Positive”
Do you sometimes feel the tension between telling the truth about what happened to you and staying “positive”? Or maybe you’ve given up on staying positive altogether since your story includes tragedy or despair. In this episode, I come at this question head-on. I share an experience from my childhood that I’ve never talked about publicly before and discuss how I personally have used a tool like writing to tell the story the true way, without letting it crush me. NOTE: This episode includes explicit language and also topics not suitable for children, specifically childhood sexual abuse. Keep this in mind if you are feeling too sensitive for that topic today or if you have little ears nearby. Pre-order Write Your Story and download your free resources HERE!

Why “Thinking Positive” Isn’t Enough
When rewriting a story from your life, it can be tempting to skip over the parts that are challenging or uncomfortable. But rewriting a story isn’t about ignoring the truth. It’s about integrating the truth into a higher Truth. How do you access a higher, better truth when the details of your story are dark, heavy, uncomfortable or sad? In today’s episode I’ll share some tools that have been helpful for me as I navigate this transition in real-time in my own life.
