We all have fears.  We are all afraid of certain things.  Some of us are afraid of dying, but many of us are afraid of not truly living and doing the most with the time that is given to us.  The solution is not to eliminate fear, but rather to face fear and use it to fuel our greatest desires of who we want to become.  People who live out of fear cower away.  Those who use fear as fuel are constantly stretching themselves and leveling up to become a much better stronger version of themselves. 

This week on the Allegory & Elm Podcast we discuss what it means to turn our fears into fuel and what it looks like when there are things far more important than our fears.

Today on the Podcast, Katie and Andrew discuss what it looks like to find the lost pieces to the puzzle that is your life.  You came into this world as a whole human being, but you lose some of that wholeness along the way.  Part of what it means to be human is to discover, find, and heal your lost and missing pieces as you work towards wholeness.

Speaking into your past can help you to really dig into what it means to be whole and to help you with your healing process.  It's hard to move towards who we want to be, if we have not dealt with who we have been and how we have been shaped.

Today on the Podcast, we have author Christy Bauman for Part 2 of A Brave Lament. Andrew and Christy wrote A Brave Lament in the wake of losing their firstborn son to a tragic umbilical cord accident. Christy was roughly 42 weeks when she had to deliver her stillborn child.

You may be thinking to yourself, 2020 has already been a drag, I don't need to be pulled further down. I would say these 2 episodes (A Brave Lament) may be the most important episodes we've done. Grief has and will affect us all, so we might want to be prepared by having a better understanding from those who have been through it. It's much easier to sit down and binge something on Netflix, but that is not why we are here or what we are about. We want you to GROW, and if you are oblivious to grief, it makes it all the harder when it does strike.

Grief isn't all dark. We talk about resurrection, rebirth, and renewal as well. If you feel like you are still "trying to catch up" on the cast, just jump ahead to this one. It may change the way you think. We have both Andrew and Christy's perspectives, but had to split it into 2 episodes, so make sure to tune in for both.  You can find more of Christy Bauman's work at https://christybauman.com/ and you can purchase her new book Womaneering.

Who Am I?  This is the great question.  Who in the world am I?  We are constantly trying to make meaning out of life, and constantly questioning our place in this world.  What does it all mean?  How does my story fit into the bigger story?  Does my story have to somehow fit into a greater story?  We tackle all of these questions and more on The Allegory & Elm Podcast today, with our Guest Tanya-Marie Dube, who is based in British Columbia, CANADA.  Tanya is a entrepreneur, best selling author, high performance mindset coach, and Host of This Is What It Takes, a podcast in which she interviews other high performing entrepreneurs and gets into the psyche of what it takes to be your highest self.  You can find more of Tanya's work at https://www.tanyadube.com/ and follow her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tanyamariedube/

We all have dreams.  We all have things we want to accomplish in this life.  Our actions are often not in alignment with attaining those dreams.  Often we drift, or get distracted, addicted, or just focus on the wrong things.  What can we do to make our goals and dreams become a reality?

We can VISION.  What is visioning.  Visioning is the process of sitting down and figure out who you want to be, what you want for your life, the goals you have, and then figuring out what you can do today to start working towards those goals.  I used to hate visioning, but I have realized how essential it is to make sure you are aligned with who you eventually want to become.  Consistency is also a huge key to your success.  Showing up every day for yourself truly makes a difference.

One of my biggest struggles as a grown ass man, is finding meaningful male friendships.  I recently discovered that I am not alone in feeling this way.  I also learned this is far too common among men and that we all genuinely crave connection.  We often just mask it behind trying to be or become this "Mythical Man."

Am I a Man?  What does that even mean?  We often hear phrases like "Man Up", "Take It Like a Man", "Nut Up",  among others.  These phrases fall more in line with toxic masculinity and have a pre-qualification that in order to be a man, you have to act in a certain way.  If you are interested in discovering what it means to truly be a man, tune in to today's episode of The Allegory & Elm Podcast.  This is one you should definitely share with any man in your life, be it your brother, husband, lover, boyfriend, or just a guy you think will get value out of it.  Ladies, this episode will give you a keen insight into what makes us tick, and what we may need, but are too ashamed or scared to ask for... Strong Male Bonds.

Are you living into your highest self, your fullest potential?  Or are you settling?  Are you an addict to the high highs and the low lows but struggle with the messy middle?  This is often where peace is found.  Today, on the podcast, we have Alex Matteo, Host of Pull It Together, here to talk about creativity and how it is key to untapping your highest self.

Hosted by the charmingly neurotic Alex Matteo - Pull It Together is a Podcast for women redefining what it means to be creative on their own terms. Through honest conversations, diverse community and inspiring interviews they are breaking the mold and debunking myths of being a creative. 

Alex is a Broadway actor/woo woo enthusiast walking that fine line between surviving and thriving all while trying to give her dog Millie the life she deserves.

Who will you be in the future?  Will you be a total Dick, or will you be someone that your current self is blown away by?  Will you be so much better of a version of yourself that you are almost unrecognizable to your current self?  We can only get to our future selves, the Future Self we want to be (the idealized version of ourself) by planning and carefully crafting the human we want to become.

Many of the ideas from today's episode come from Dr. Benjamin Hardy's latest book Personality Isn't Permanent.  Check it out on Audible or buy the hardback HERE.
