Ooooh yeah! We are remixing a popular episode (75!) and updating it with an awesome study about intellectual humility! What’s that?! Listen up! You’re gonna love it! And before you snap back, "THERE'S NO WAY I'M WRONG!" Haha, this episode is intended to break your brain open a bit! We're talking about why it feels wrong to be wrong, but how being wrong can lead to so many wonderful things that are right! One huge takeaway from this episode is an exercise asking you to question if you're wrong about yourself, what you can do and what you are capable of! And not in the, "You can't do it..." way, but in the, "But what if you can?!" So go on a philosophical journey through time and space with us and see if you can't find some solutions or a little bit of awesome in thinking about your current life shtuff in a new way! I hope you love it! Article referenced! https://today.duke.edu/2017/03/modest-personality-trait-intellectual-humility-packs-punch Awesome with Alison is supported by listeners LIKE YOU! If you

Listen, I know what it’s like to feel at your complete wits end. To have voices from every direction telling you that to feel better and be who you want to be, what you need to do is never give up, change, and just try a little harder. And how that can make you want to cry because you’re already trying as hard as you can! That’s not the point of this episode (or anything I do)! The point of this episode is to help you think about what you actually want to carry each day, what you want to be filled with, and to give you a few simple ideas for how to do it! So you can feel a little more awesome than you did before. Not worse! Just a tiny bit better, possibly! Give it a try! You’re doing a really good job!

Today I’m sharing with you what might be one of my favorite episodes ever! My new friend and phenomenal poet Darryl Dzpasi is here to share his poem called YOU MATTER. Darryl wrote this poem after learning about the tragic death of George Floyd--he wrote it as a message for himself and the world around him. Darryl beautifully reads his poem (grab your tissues), and then generously talks to me about the experiences of his life that contributed to writing it. I also have Darryl tell me how he got to be so WISE and DEEP! You’ll get actionable takeaways for self-love, compassion, and navigating difficult emotions, as well as deep insight and perspective from Darryl’s unique experiences, which I know is so needed right now. I’m so excited to share this with you!
