Write Your Story with Ally Fallon

Have you ever considered giving your pain a voice? 

For most of us, this doesn’t even register. We think about curing our pain, side-stepping our pain, solving our pain, fixing our pain or numbing our pain.

Anything but allowing and listening to our pain. 

Let me ask you this: what if your pain is trying to speak to you?  

What if it has an important message to share? 

What if there is wisdom buried within your pain that you need in order to take your next step, to understand yourself or the world more fully, or to truly heal? 

If you believed that, would you lean in and listen?

There is the story you want to tell with your life. And then there is the one that is asking to be told, through you. 

The one that’s asking to be told through you: 

• Probably terrifies you
• Challenges your sense of yourself
• Makes you feel out of control 
• Calls you past your old conception of yourself
• Might feel embarrassing 
• Overwhelms you when you think about it

And yet the story that’s trying to come through you is the reason you came here. 

Are you brave enough to allow it to unfold?

I watched my two young kids have their first experience with monetizing their art and I walked away with one conclusion. 

Art deserves to be celebrated, sold and reciprocated (financially).

I haven’t always felt this way. 

I’ve wrestled with the question of what art is worth. Or rather, I’ve felt a strange need to keep my creativity and capitalism separated. 

But in today’s episode, I’ll share why I think it matters that you not just see your art as valuable in general — but as worth actual dollars.

In what ways can you sell your art without shame?

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do to make a change, and nothing is changing, consider this: 

Maybe LESS is actually more. 

Maybe making progress is less about how much you can add and more about how much you can subtract. 

There is a time for trying harder and doing more.

There is also a time for subtracting what no longer fits. 

So today’s episode comes with a challenge: what can you take away that might move the needle infinitely more than anything you could add?

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to join us for The River Within, the new program I’m hosting with my friend Ruthie Lindsey.

In this episode, we’ll awaken your creative gifts and activate your life force!

One of the ways we’ll do this is through the topic of today’s episode: aligned, messy action. 

If you’re a thoughtful, deliberate, intentional person, you likely struggle with aligned, messy action. You probably prefer precise, perfect, effective action.

And yet what you need most might be permission to try and fail. 

Permission to move forward, even if it’s not the “right” move.

That’s exactly the permission I’m granting in this episode, and in The River Within. I hope you’ll join us.

I used to think celebrating myself was self-centered. Self-aggrandizing. 

A waste of time at best. 

An overextension of the ego at worst. If someone else wanted to celebrate me, I would let it happen. But letting it in was a whole different story.

When it came to celebrating myself, it used to be a non-starter. 

But I changed my mind and I want to tell you about it.

The dominant cultural narrative says that truth lies in data, rational thinking and logic. 

And so when we set out to heal, we think we need to alter the thoughts, reframe the story, and get the mind under control (and for a while this may even work). 

But then there comes a point where the body begins to disagree with the mind. 

The body doesn’t care about “right” answers.

The body doesn’t care how you’re “supposed” to feel. 

The body is unconvinced and unconcerned with positive affirmations. 

The body has one objective and one objective only: to express what is inside. What’s true. 

And a repressed body will eventually get louder. Much louder. 

Are you willing to listen to the truth of the body?

This episode contains adult content that is inappropriate for younger audiences and may be difficult for even adults to hear. Please proceed with caution. 

In today's episode, I cover my reflections on the Lindsay Clancy trial. 

Why has this tragic case captured the attention of women (and mothers) everywhere? 

What does this case have to show us about how we treat women / mothers in our culture? 

What do mothers and artists have in common? 

How can artists (and mothers) get the support they need and deserve so they can continue bringing life and beauty to this world? 

I explore all of this and more.

You are brilliant. 

You don’t think you are, but you are. 

The exact way that you move through the world, that you love others, that you dress, that you speak, that you take care of people, that you create and make and dance and laugh is magical and needed and utterly irreplaceable.

The problem is you’re second-guessing it. You’re downplaying it. 

You tell yourself that you don’t want to be too arrogant or think too highly of yourself. 

You don’t want to stand up too tall or shine too brightly. 

This is your reminder to shine EXACTLY THAT BRIGHT. To shine so brightly that you feel like an absolute fool. 

We need you, your heart, your essence and all of your magic.
