How to Finally Feel Like Enough with Alison Jamison


Listen Later

Episode 6: I’m SO excited to share today’s episode with the amazing Alison Jamison.  She’s a life & confidence coach who helps us understand the importance of cultivating our inner confidence.  She helps misfits slay their inner critics, create kick-ass confidence, and take action to be the heroes of their own stories. 

She helps her clients let go of their baggage, claim confidence, and complete the quest of making their dreams come true. We talk all about self-doubt...where it comes from, the inevitability of it & how what we do with it is what really matters.  Alison is a firm believer that teaching & modeling self-confidence is one of the best gifts we can give to our children.  

For her whole life, Alison never felt like she fit in anywhere.  There were all these parts of her which only seemed to fit in a little here, a little there.  She felt unaccepted.  Like she didn’t belong anywhere. She was always uncomfortable and never at ease anywhere.  But having her son changed all that.    

“I wanted to demonstrate for him how I want him to feel about himself.”

As she saw her son as pure perfection, she began to wonder why she didn’t think about herself that same way. She realized she was seriously lacking confidence and decided to do something about it.  

  “I wanted to know who I was without reference to someone else."  

She so wisely explains that we have this drive to belong (so we conform ourselves to fit in), yet we also have that inner voice saying, “this is not who you are”.  So we get confused.  Confused about who we really are.  I love this insight so much because it brilliantly explains why so many of us feel insecure.  We don’t even know who we are.  So, as always, the work starts with us.  

She says the path to self-confidence is shifting how you think about yourself, being willing to feel all the feels, and trusting yourself that you do know what’s best for you.  Trusting you do know how to show up for yourself, to have your own back.
