Ep72: Lantern Consciousness and Living a "Plus 10 Life" with Allison Evans

Allison has a way with words.  Metaphors are sprinkled through her stories which bring visuals to my mind instantaneously. Our brains LOVE stories and visuals, which make her lessons and wisdom stick even more. I met Allison at a retreat and immediately connected with her and the more I got to know her, the more I knew she had life experience and coaching expertise I wanted to share with my podcast listeners.  I know that you will get a lot out of this episode.  --- Allison is a Certified Wayfinder Master Coach and Wayfinder Life Coach Training instructor with an MA in English literature from George Mason University and undergraduate degrees in English and French from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her work has been featured in Elephant Journal, Thrive Global, and Pathways magazine. She lives in Omaha with the people who inspire her work: her husband, daughter, and son.   You can find Allison at allisonevanscoaching.com and learn more about her upcoming program (enrollment opens Nov 25!)  and follow her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/allisonevanscoaching   Chapters 00:00 The Nature of Consciousness: Lantern vs. Spotlight 03:17 Widening Our Focus: The Impact of Technology 06:22 Mindfulness and Body Awareness: Tools for Wellness 09:01 Emotions: The 90-Second Rule 12:15 The Stories We Tell: Understanding Our Narratives 15:12 The Role of Anger and Fear in Motivation 18:13 Navigating Despair: A Coaching Moment 44:22 Exploring Emotions and Body Awareness 47:20 The Power of Storytelling in Overcoming Hopelessness 49:35 The Importance of Inner Change 52:21 The Magic of Authenticity in Relationships 56:57 Navigating Authenticity and Sincerity 01:00:31 The Long View of Personal Growth 01:02:54 The Role of Apologies in Growth 01:04:23 Defining Winning in Conversations 01:09:55 The Micro and Macro Connection in Our Stories 01:12:56 Amassing Evidence for Intentional Beliefs 01:15:22 Decomposing Limiting Stories 01:20:00 Closing Thoughts and Future Aspirations
