030 - How They Feel Means Nothing About Me (with Alison Faulkner)

Mary and Alexis are joined today by the one, the only, the SEXY branding, events, and education consultant, author, influencer, speaker and podcaster, THE Alison Faulkner! Talking with Alison again (after having had a “Power Hour” coaching session with her a few weeks ago) was an absolute joy, full of laughs, music references, Elle Woods quotes, and lots of life-changing wisdom and ideas. We take a chapter from her amazing book You’re Already Awesome (2022, Harper One Publishing), and dive in a little bit deeper.

 

Chapter four of Alison’s book is titled, “How They Feel Means Nothing About Me!” We talk about identity, relationship transitions, and our experiences that have colored the way we see the world. In a move which surprises exactly nobody, Lexy references Dr. Gabor Mate, then “Sexy Lexy” makes a new phrase that is an instant classic: LICK THE BUTT. *sizzle*

 

Alison (Utah’s Lady Gaga, or maybe a Mormon Ke$ha) teaches us about tuning in to our emotions, accepting them, and picking our focus (TAP), how to break mason jars, connecting with ourselves and others, and teaches us a couple of amazing mantras, including:

 

“I CAN ALWAYS LOVINGLY MOONWALK AWAY.” 

 

We are SO glad Alison was able to join us for this podcast episode! Forgive us for the not-quite-so-awesome audio quality, but this content is so good, we hope you’ll love this episode as much as we loved recording it!

 

We don’t really have a Better Betty Challenge for this episode, but we very highly recommend getting yourself a copy of this amazing book and use it to help yourself realize that “only you can be you, and you are already as awesome as you need to be.”
