   Reclaiming the Right to Be Seen

   EPISODE DESCRIPTION What if reclaiming yourself isn’t about becoming someone new, but about making space for the parts of you that you’ve silenced, neglected, or abandoned along the way? In this final episode of The Reclamation Season, I’m giving you a step-by-step guide to creating your own reclamation season. We’ll look at how to recognize the signs that it’s time to reclaim a part of yourself, understand why you abandoned that part in the first place, listen to what it needs, and create the beliefs, behaviors, and boundaries that allow it to take up space in your life again. I’ll also share how envy, resentment, discomfort, and even feeling successful but unfulfilled can actually be useful data - and how paying attention to those signals can help you understand what you truly want. Most importantly, this work isn’t about shame or declaring war on yourself. It’s about honesty, compassion, accountability, and learning how to stay on your own side. Consider this your roadmap for building a reclamation season that is truly yours. IN THIS EPISODE • How to recognize when it’s time to begin your own reclamation season• Why envy, resentment, discomfort, and unfulfillment can be valuable data• The five-step reclamation process: recognize, understand, listen, create, and practice• How the Three B’s - beliefs, behaviors, and boundaries, help you create lasting change• How to build a daily or weekly check-in practice so you don’t abandon yourself again THE PARTING GIFT "What daily ritual helps you to feel grounded?" Take some time to think about the rituals—not just tasks or items on your to-do list—that bring you back to the present moment and help you feel grounded. What helps you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and remember that you don’t have to rush? THIS WEEK, BUY YOURSELF FLOWERS BY... Giving yourself permission to take up space in your own life.

   Reclaiming the Brave Part of Me

   EPISODE DESCRIPTION What does it really mean to be brave? We often think of bravery as something loud, bold, and courageous or it’s when we are pushing through exhaustion, taking massive risks, or doing something that makes everyone else stand in awe. But what if bravery could be more subtle than that? In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to reclaim the brave part of yourself. Not the part that overperforms, overfunctions, or pushes through, but the part that is willing to tell the truth about what you really want and begin creating a life that reflects it. I’m sharing the story of the night a friend told me, “You are so brave,” when I felt anything but brave, and how those words eventually helped me understand courage in a completely different way. We’ll talk about the beliefs that keep us from moving forward, why being ready is a choice rather than a feeling, and how changing our beliefs can create new behaviors. Most importantly, I’ll challenge you to practice being just 10% braver this week - one small step at a time. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply decide that you’re ready enough to begin. IN THIS EPISODE • Redefining bravery beyond survival, overfunctioning, and pushing through• How beliefs about worth and readiness can keep us from pursuing what we truly want• Using the question “Is this 100% true?” to challenge beliefs that may be holding you back• Creating supportive beliefs, behaviors, and boundaries that help you move forward• Practicing being 10% braver by letting the brave part of you take the lead THE PARTING GIFT “What are you learning about yourself in this season of life?” LINKS & RESOURCES Website: allisontibbs.com Instagram: @allisontibbs LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisontibbs (https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisontibbs) Substack: https://allisontibbs.substack.com (https://allisontibbs.substack.com/) THIS WEEK, BUY YOURSELF FLOWERS BY... Letting the brave part of you take the lead for just a moment and doing one thing this week that will make you feel 10% braver.

   Reclaiming the Relaxed Part of Me

   EPISODE DESCRIPTION What happens when the part of you that is always planning, producing, performing, managing, and controlling everything finally takes a backseat? In this episode, I’m talking about what I discovered when I gave myself permission to step away from the pressure to perform and let the relaxed version of me take the lead. After spending five days on a farm without my laptop, I realized something I hadn’t fully understood before: relaxation is a state of being and a choice that we make. We’ll explore what happens when pressure becomes part of our identity, why releasing it can feel scary, and how to begin building trust with the relaxed part of yourself. I’ll also walk you through a simple self-experiment to let your relaxed self take the driver’s seat, listen to your body, follow what feels interesting, and give yourself permission to change your mind. IN THIS EPISODE • Why relaxation is a state of being, not something you have to earn• What happens when pressure becomes an internal system and part of your identity• How removing pressure can help you reconnect with your needs, desires, curiosity, and sense of wonder• A simple “relaxed self” experiment for letting go of managing, controlling, and overperforming• How listening to your body, following what feels interesting, and changing your mind can help build self-trust THE PARTING GIFT “What helps you truly recharge?” Try asking this question from the perspective of your relaxed self, rather than your exhausted or overperforming self. What does the relaxed version of you actually need to feel restored? THIS WEEK, BUY YOURSELF FLOWERS BY... Letting the relaxed part of you make one decision. Let her take the driver's seat for one moment and notice how it feels.
