In this heartfelt and transformative episode, Alison and Eric Robertson dive into the journey of saving your life through three powerful principles: regulation, fun, and embracing the willingness to be an idiot. Alison opens up about her personal experiences, including a humbling rejection from a graduate program, and how she turned that moment into a pivotal point of self-discovery and empowerment. Together, they explore the importance of self-awareness, the healing power of play, and why it's okay to feel like an idiot when pursuing your passions. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need a fresh perspective on life, this episode offers practical advice and a healthy dose of inspiration to help you reclaim your joy and resilience. Join Alison and Eric for an honest conversation filled with humor, vulnerability, and the encouragement to embrace life’s messy, unpredictable moments.
