29. All of the Human Experience
<p>Alexis shares a vulnerable story about an art competition, disappointment, and the importance of loving every version of ourselves — even the ones that feel lost or discouraged. A gentle reminder that all our experiences are worthy, and all our feelings belong.</p><p>♥</p><p><strong>Wild Permission</strong> is your reminder that you already have everything it takes to live the life you want.

And if you’ve been following along on my journey and you’re listening to this at the time that I post it, at the current time:</p><p>I was in a really big art competition. There were a thousand submissions, and a hundred of us were accepted. And then there were four really big cash prizes, and I wanted to win one. I wanted to win one, and I did a lot of work to try to win one.</p><p>And I didn’t win one. I did get in the top 10, but I didn’t win, and my inner child self had a lot of feelings about that. A lot of those feelings revolved around the perception of not being enough and the perception of always ending up back in this place of trying really hard and then not quite making the mark.</p><p>It had me in a bit of a discombobulation for about a week and a half, which is a really long time for me right now, because I’m generally able to move through things within a couple of days or less.</p><p>What I found myself saying during that week and a half was, “I’m not quite myself” or “I’m feeling really strange, and I’m not really sure what to do. I don’t really feel like this very often.”</p><p>When I came through to the other side — and I did that by feeling my feelings, letting myself feel the disappointment of really giving something my best shot and just not quite meeting the mark — I thought, “Top 10 is amazing, but it’s not top four, right?”</p><p>But I got a really cute little trophy, and I got to be a person who walked across the stage at an art competition. Those are really big things.</p><p>When I came through the week and a half and settled back in, I then found myself saying, “I remembered who I am,” and “I got back to myself, and everything is great again.”</p><p>What I want to remind us today — and what I want to caution us against, and remind myself as well — is that that week-and-a-half self who was a little bit confused and disoriented and disappointed and sad and struggling is equally as important and beautiful and valuable and good as the version of me leaving this podcast message to you now.</p><p>In fact, during that week and a half, I spent so much time thinking about the fact that I was struggling, or I didn’t quite know how to get back on track, that I imagine it kept me off track for longer.</p><p>And we can go even further and say, well, what even is “the track”? Because if I’m a human person having a human experience and I was just part of this art competition that I gave so much time and attention to and asked so many people for help and did so much promoting and so much time giving of myself, and then for it to be over — of course I’m going to have feelings, however it ended.</p><p>And why does that then mean that I’m “off track” or “not quite myself”? Because in fact, I am so much myself that the self that I am at that time is discouraged and disappointed. And she’s so beautiful. That self is wonderful, and that self is having an equally important and valuable human experience as the self who goes for a hike and gets to experience the miracle of nature and trees and the dew on the grass. Those two parts are equal.</p><p>If I find myself in that place of confusion or discombobulation or disappointment, and then I’m putting myself down because I’m there, or I’m saying to other people that I’m “not quite myself,” then I’m really reiterating the disconnection between that version of me and the version that I maybe prefer to embody.</p><p>When I realized this, it was quite humbling, because I realized that I didn’t take the opportunity to extend as much love as I could have to myself after that competition and in the week that followed. I felt so tired and I felt so drained, and I felt like, “Here I am again, at the end of my rope, and this is how life is always going to be.”</p><p>Of course, that is not true. But I didn’t take the time to just love myself in that feeling — to not make it bad, to not say anything about it, just to let it be. Let that feeling have some attention and care and love, and to feel it. To feel the shame of that type of emotion and the really deep pit in the stomach and the tightness in the chest and all the physical sensations that come along with that type of emotion.</p><p>And I’m sure you’ve felt it too. Maybe you can remember how visceral it is, how much it really must be seen and felt in order to get to the other side.</p><p>And it’s all okay. Every single experience that we get to have as a human is part of being human. However we believe that we came to be human here on Earth, we’re human here on Earth. There’s no way around that. You are a human person listening to me — unless you’re a weird robot training yourself on my voice — but anyway, you’re a human person listening to me. I’m a human person speaking into this device, and the speakers are going into your ears.</p><p>We’re human people. So can’t we remember that? Can’t we allow the whole spectrum of feelings to be felt and to be okay? That’s what I want to remember.</p><p>And then maybe next time, when I’m having a week and a half of strange feelings, I’ll be able to really allow love and care and devotion to sink into my bones. And you know what? It might not make the process any faster. Maybe I feel kind of funny for two weeks. But at least I feel kind of funny and I’m giving and receiving love. And that’s the magic.</p><p>So I just want to remind you today that you can do that too — that whatever you’re feeling, maybe something that might feel sticky that you’ve been holding for a little bit — there’s nothing wrong. There’s nothing wrong at all. You’re so worthy of this human experience and of getting to have the human experience that you desire to have.</p><p>It’s really deep and magical and abundant to accept all the experiences that we have.</p><p>Thank you for listening. And thank you for contemplating and exploring these types of ideas with me. I hope your day is very blessed.</p><p>I love you, and I’m proud of you.</p>

28. Being Alive is Right Now
<p>In this tender episode of Wild Permission, Alexis reflects on mortality, presence, and the power of living fully in the moment. She gently challenges you to pause, reconnect, and choose what matters most—right now.</p><p>♥</p><p><strong>Wild Permission</strong> is your reminder that you already have everything it takes to live the life you want. Your dreams matter. You matter.</p><p>Hosted by artist and permission-giver <strong>Alexis Wild</strong>, this podcast is your space for quick bursts of courage, truth, and joy. Alexis helps you remember who you are—worthy, powerful, and enough—while inviting you to step into your wildest, truest self.</p><p>This is your permission slip to follow your desires, trust your heart, and create a beautiful life on your own terms.</p><p><a href="http://www.alexiswild.com/" rel="nofollow">www.alexiswild.com</a></p><p><a href="http://www.wildpermission.com/" rel="nofollow">www.wildpermission.com</a> </p><p>♥ Prefer to read? <strong>UNEDITTED TRANSCRIPT BELOW</strong> ♥</p><p>Today I feel tender, and I thought, what an interesting time to hit record. Life is so beautiful—and part of life is life ending. I’m in the middle of a lot of brushes with mortality.</p><p>I don’t have a lot of direct experience with death, but I’ve held many people through these kinds of journeys—either their own or their loved ones’. Something we forget is that we are only alive right now, in this present moment. Right now, as you listen to my voice, you’re alive. And that is literally the only moment you know you have.</p><p>And goddamn, do we squander that. Even now. Even now, I really love you listening to this, but is this the highest, best thing for you to do right now? Or are you putting on my voice to avoid something else? Are you listening to me while your child is asking you to play? Or while you’re doing a billion other things, multitasking out the wazoo?</p><p>Right now, as my voice is going in your ears, is this the thing you most want to do?</p><p>And if it’s not—and I almost hope it’s not, because there’s so much more to your life than listening to me—I might just be a stranger on the internet. I might be a person you’ve met; I have a lot of friends who listen here. But I might literally be a stranger on the internet, pulling you away from something else in your life.</p><p>And if I can just give you one little nudge to go to that other thing—if there was something that popped in your head when I first said “is this the highest, best?”—whatever popped into your head, I grant you, with the magical fairy-wand glitter power of my voice through my recorder into your ears, the absolute permission to just stop listening to me and go to that thing.</p><p>Because the time you have to be alive is now. You actually might not have one hour from now. But you have right now. And wow, what a beautiful, infinite gift—just right now.</p><p>And maybe right now the highest, best thing for you is to go put your feet naked on the earth. Maybe it’s to call that friend you haven’t talked to in a long time. Maybe it’s to close your eyes and rest. Maybe it’s just to stop everything. Just stop everything and listen. Maybe you continue listening to me, or maybe you embrace silence for a moment.</p><p>Because I don’t think there’s a single person on Earth who would agree that we are here to scroll a screen—even though I’m sure you’re listening to me through a screen of some type. But we’re human beings. We don’t live inside a box, or inside bits and chips and coding and screens and lights and “fast.”</p><p>We live in those barefoot outdoor moments, in the in-betweens, in the hugs and the embraces and the eye contact. In the connection, the desire, and the loss. That is being human.</p><p>And right now—this moment—is it. And it’s so special and beautiful because being human means being mortal. It means dying. It means sometimes losing over and over again. All the beauty we get to experience also includes the beauty of loss. And the searing pain of grief is oh so beautiful, because all of it is human.</p><p>Maybe you’re some interesting robot trying to learn about humanity listening to me—but I highly doubt that. You’re another human person, just like me, wanting to feel connected, seen, and safe.</p><p>And the way we do that—the way we feel seen and connected and whole—is to actually remember that we’re alive right now, literally right now. How can we be living into being the most alive?</p><p>The most alive doesn’t mean going on the biggest explorations. It means simply looking around where you are right now and being fully here. Fully here. Fully sitting beside your child on the couch at the end of the day. Fully. Because you’re alive.</p><p>Fully sitting down and resting because you’re alive. Not bringing anything else in because the world has told you you can’t stop. Being connected, being seen, and being whole is fed by noticing that right now you’re here. Alive. Breathing. Maybe feeling great, maybe feeling horrible—but you’re here. And that’s it. That’s literally it. And that’s so beautiful.</p><p>I’m so glad you’re here. Thanks for spending a human moment with me.</p><p>If you feel like you want to share a story back with me today, I would love to hear it. Maybe my words touched you. Maybe something came to mind. Maybe you left and then came back and listened to the rest of this. You can reach me anytime at hello@alexiswild.com, or you can pop onto any of my social medias.</p><p>It’s always a really special honor and treat to sit and record these words for you, and I don’t take it lightly that you just spent 10 minutes with me.</p><p>If I can close with just a little reminder: the way my words help you to feel is also something you can do for other people, too. I’m not a special, different type of person. I’m just like you.</p><p>And I’ve learned to be here now, in all the things. I’ve built capacity to hold what those things are, for the most part. And I’m continuously shifting and moving through my CPTSD and the things that I still notice every once in a while. I live in my body. But I’m not on top of a pedestal, a higher-developed human. I’m just like you.</p><p>And the gifts you see in me—I think you have them, too. And I can’t wait to see how you use them.</p><p>I love you. Thank you.</p>

27. Infinitely Worthy (at the Beach)
<p>Recorded by the lake with the sound of waves in the background, Alexis offers a heartfelt love note to remind you of your infinite worth and capacity for self‑acceptance. This gentle meditation invites you to let her words sink into your bones and embrace every part of yourself—especially the ones you’ve turned away from.</p><p>♥</p><p><strong>Wild Permission</strong> is your reminder that you already have everything it takes to live the life you want. Your dreams matter. You matter.</p><p>Hosted by artist and permission-giver <strong>Alexis Wild</strong>, this podcast is your space for quick bursts of courage, truth, and joy. Alexis helps you remember who you are—worthy, powerful, and enough—while inviting you to step into your wildest, truest self.</p><p>This is your permission slip to follow your desires, trust your heart, and create a beautiful life on your own terms.</p><p><a href="http://www.alexiswild.com/" rel="nofollow">www.alexiswild.com</a></p><p><a href="http://www.wildpermission.com/" rel="nofollow">www.wildpermission.com</a> </p><p>♥ Prefer to read? <strong>UNEDITTED TRANSCRIPT BELOW</strong> ♥</p><p>Alright—today's episode is going to be a little bit different. Hopefully you can hear the sound of the waves in the background. I'm at the lake, and I thought I’d take advantage of this beautiful time and space to leave you a bit of a love note—a little bit of a love note.</p><p>What I want to share with you is something I really believe to be true. If you’re able, take a moment to do nothing else. Maybe just sit on the couch. For this little bit of time, I invite you to receive the words I’m going to say and, if you can, let them settle into your body—let them sink into your bones.</p><p>If you can find a spot—of course, if you’re listening and doing other things, that’s okay too—but if you can find a spot just to be for this moment, that would be great. You don’t have to sit in any special position; just find a place that feels okay to be alone with me for a moment. And as I share these things with you, let them sink into your body. Really feel them, even if they feel uncomfortable or untrue. Can you be curious about letting these ideas in?</p><p>Okay.</p><p>Dearest, you are infinitely loved. Infinitely protected. Infinitely worthy—oh my goodness, infinitely worthy. There is no end to what you could receive, what you’re allowed to receive, and what is here for you in this moment of time.</p><p>You are infinitely enough—completely and wholly. This is true. You are infinitely enough, yes, even with the sadness and the hate and the fear and the shame and the doubt you still hold. You’re infinitely enough. Infinitely worthy. Infinitely loved.</p><p>And all those parts of you that you feel aren’t good enough are also infinitely loved. Are you able, in this moment, to allow yourself to receive that? That even the parts of you you turn away from are also worthy of love.</p><p>Even though I don’t know you, I see that the parts of you you think aren’t good enough are worthy of my love. And what’s really magical is they’re also worthy of your love. The parts of you you feel are not good enough are worthy of your love.</p><p>A simple thing you can do today to show those parts of you a bit of love is simply to look at them. Simply to look at them. To acknowledge that you have parts of yourself you might not feel are good enough.</p><p>What’s interesting is that acknowledging these parts of us actually helps us feel more whole because we stop ignoring and pushing aside parts of ourselves. Sometimes we’d like to just eliminate the part of us that hates another human. But can I invite you to allow that part of you to exist? Because when you allow it to exist, it loses the control and power it was trying to get—just like a little child who doesn’t get the attention they’re looking for becomes louder. When you’re able to look at it, it doesn’t need to scream anymore.</p><p>All the parts of you you don’t want to know are there—every single one—is infinitely worthy of love and care. That doesn’t mean we let them run the show, but it means we stop denying their existence. Because to feel whole, you have to embrace that we’re both light and dark, both “bad” (I’m putting that in air quotes) and good.</p><p>There’s no need to judge the parts of you you don’t want to look at. They’re simply there as parts of you. And what I know about you is that you are absolutely beautiful—even those parts. Gosh, maybe especially those parts.</p><p>You’re so worthy. You’re so enough. Everything that’s happened up until now has made you part of who you are. All of it is part of you.</p><p>And my goodness, what an amazing adventure. How beautiful to get to experience sadness, devastating grief, overwhelming anger—because all of that means you’re alive. And how gorgeous to experience delight that makes you cry, and love, and gratitude. All of it making this human experience your experience. And what a gorgeous one it is.</p><p>You are infinitely worthy. You are infinitely loved. There is no end. All the parts of you are allowed to be here too, and to receive that love and care.</p><p>Thank you for taking a moment to consider embracing yourself a little bit deeper today, to listen to the waves, and to listen to my voice. I love you. You’re enough. And I’m so proud of you. Thank you.</p>
