When you get your picture taken, you probably think about being happy, polished, put together, you at your best self. You might even groan at the thought of getting new obligatory head shots for work or LinkedIn or social media or even have some stress over how you look for something celebratory like a graduation or wedding. But what if you got your picture taken when you were at your very lowest? Not to wallow in it or be really depressing, but to capture your strength and essence and a moment in time that probably will reshape you forever. 

Today’s guest is world-famous celebrity photographer, inventor, and innovator, Jeremy Cowart. Huffington Post has named him “the most influential photographer on the internet.” He’s photographed Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and some of the biggest names on the planet blending the most futuristic and groundbreaking technology to capture moments…in a minute. And now he’s made his process available to the public and it is so innovative, groundbreaking, genius, and not to mention, completing moving - I couldn't wait to bring this perspective-shifting conversation to you about disrupting an industry, innovating, making a living as a creative, and relentless learning with Jeremy Cowart.

America, you in danger, girl! In this special 4th of July episode of the Late Learner Podcast, I take on the big issues around our freedoms in the U.S., especially with recent political events and Supreme Court rulings. I start with a look at the meaning of Independence Day and the freedoms our ancestors fought for, but also voice my worries about the current state of our liberties.

We revisit a fiery discussion from when Roe v. Wade was overturned, stressing the need for action over just expressing outrage. I break down four key steps to make an impact: energizing people, getting deeply organized, having a detailed plan, and gathering resources. Many organizations like Planned Parenthood and Emily's List are already on this, and I urge listeners to support them.

I also share personal stories about my own political activism, the importance of turning anger into action, and staying engaged. I offer ten practical ways to get involved, from helping reproductive justice organizations, opening your home to those in need, normalizing conversations about abortion, and supporting pro-choice candidates.

Happy 4th of July!

-Allison Hare

My mother died on June 11, 2021. On the 3rd anniversary of her passing, I am re-releasing the most personal episode I've ever done that captured the moment and the biggest life lessons I learned in her last 6 months.

Also, I did a follow-up episode with Kris Jones after the passing of her mom where we discussed how complicated relationships are with our moms. You can listen here.

xo,

Allison

Why do high performers seem to struggle with their personal relationships? Our guest today is Jason VanRuler, a licensed therapist and author of "Get Past Your Past." Jason provides eye-opening insights into why high performers often struggle with personal relationships. He explains that while high performers excel in business by applying certain success strategies, these same strategies can fail in personal relationships. Jason emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, identifying safe people, isolation vs. self-isolation, and the need for intentional and consistent relationships (and grieving the ones that no longer fit).

We discuss the concept of "max awareness" in therapy, where people are more aware of their issues but often fail to take actionable steps to improve their relationships.
