Episode 23. The idea for this episode came to Allison mid-meditation, in a nervous system reset class at her yoga studio. A moment of gratitude for motherhood led her down a rabbit hole of thinking about creativity, consumption, and what happens when either gets out of balance.
Allison explores creating and consuming as two sides of the same spectrum ~ neither inherently good or bad, both necessary. She covers what each fulfills in us, signs you’re overcreating or overconsuming, how to bring more awareness to the ratio in your own life, and ways we can create + consume with intention. Plus a useful neurological explanation for why working in a coffee shop actually helps you focus.
Plus…. The New Wave Handbook is also officially live! (View Here)
I specifically timed the launch of it with a new month, Labor Day weekend coming up and a new season around the corner… all ideal opportunities for a fresh start, reset or a deep cleaning session. For those who purchase, I hope you enjoy it and it adds so much value to your life.
Why did I create this guide? We all deserve to live the life we dream of. I always knew I’d find a way to travel and live abroad, open a clothing store, marry my dream man, have passive remote income, create daily, and get to do whatever I want most days.
Since 2020, I have lived in 10+ different homes. Most were short term for a couple of months and a few for 1-2 years.
Despite moving around across 5 countries… I managed my businesses, never once got sick, stayed physically active, got pregnant in a foreign country, had a baby in a different foreign country, posted a podcast episode every single week, kept my social life alive, the house cleaned, and never went into credit card debt.
The answer to maintaining those aspects of my life is that I’ve learned how to build incredibly resilient systems, slow down enough to know what I do and don’t want, execute (work, gym, hobbies, cook) in imperfect conditions, find joy in small things, utilize what I already have, learn from my mistakes and make the most out of any circumstance.
I’ve spent countless hours this summer during Hayes’ naps and bedtime pouring all of these routines, mindset shifts and advice into a 60 page handbook. It’s now available for purchase on my website for a very reasonable $44 because I truly believe a peaceful, organized life should be accessible to everyone. Plus - the first 100 people who purchase will also continue to get the newest volume of it whenever I add more to it (which I am already doing… I can’t stop I love systems haha).
Get a digital pdf of the New Wave Handbook sent straight to your inbox today! I’ve been told it should have been $444, instead of $44, so pull the trigger on buying it now if you’re interested because the price will likely increase as I keep expanding it.
