Episode 20: Put More Purple On Your Calendar with The Nourished Life Coach Allison Tibbs

In this episode, I am speaking with my friend Allison Tibbs, the Nourished Life Wellness Coach. We discuss taking action today that our Future Selves will thank us for, blocking off time to do... absolutely nothing, and a potent ego check Allison worked through recently with grace.    Allison shares her favorite mantras and self-care mindset shifts and teaches how to maintain essential boundaries during those tricky times when it feels like our own values are in competition. She reminds us to take breaks from efficiency by proactively scheduling in time for play and imperfection. Allison’s favorite hack for self-spaciousness is to block off time (in PURPLE 💜) on her calendar 🗓 to do… absolutely nothing. She warns us of the dangers of settling for crumbs—those scraps leftover for when we've taken care of everyone else before we take care of ourselves.    Listen until the very end where Allison shares a super recent(!) potent ego check that brought her to her knees…and what she’s learning and wants us to take away as she re-envisions and re-creates her life on her own terms—in alignment with her own values. In our fourth year, we’re humbled and grateful to cultivate a safe and supportive atmosphere at Attune + Align Podcast where our guests show up wholeheartedly to share directly with vulnerability from their biggest life experiences, transitions, and learnings with us and with you.   Thanks for listening!
