178. Finding your Purpose When You're Overwhelmed: Learn to RECEIVE

Hot Take: What if your purpose right now isn't to do more, achieve more, or figure out your next big career move? What if your actual purpose is learning how to receive?My business coach asked me what I'd do on a random Tuesday if I could do anything. My answer floored me: drink matcha, watch reality TV at noon, cook a real recipe with multiple steps, take a long shower, go to bed early. As I rattled these off, I panicked - where's my ambition? What happened to my drive?Then it hit me during a journal session. My nervous system wasn't broken - it was trying to show me my purpose right now. After months of giving, creating, strategizing, and pouring into everyone else, my soul was telling me: your job is to learn how to receive.In this episode:Why your purpose might be receiving instead of achieving right nowThe four ways to receive: physical (rest, nourishment, movement), mental (entertainment, learning for fun, silence), emotional (support, celebrating wins), and creative (making something with your hands, playing without purpose)How constantly saying "I've got it" blocks you from your actual purposeWhy receiving isn't evidence you're failing - it's evidence you're humanThe receiving day challenge that will reconnect you with what your soul actually needsThe purpose shift: We think purpose has to be this big, productive thing. But what if your purpose right now is modeling for your kids that adults deserve care too? What if it's showing the women around you that receiving support isn't weakness?Your end-of-day scrolling? That's your spirit trying to receive something - anything - that doesn't require you to prove you deserve it first.Maybe your purpose isn't another goal to crush. Maybe it's learning that you're worthy of receiving the same energy you pour into everyone else.Ready to explore what receiving could look like in YOUR life?

Brittany Olson from Becoming a Mother podcast breaks down why becoming a mom hits so differently than anyone warns you about.We dive into matrescence (the scientific term for becoming a mother) and why it's not just the sleepless nights that knock you sideways. Brittany shares how she went from dreaming about motherhood her whole life to completely crashing when her son was born - and what she wishes someone had told her about the identity shift, hormone chaos, and that voice in your head saying "choose between sleeping, showering, or eating today."In this episode, we learn about:What matrescence actually is and why it matters (spoiler: it can last way longer than you think)How your brain literally changes when you become a mom - like, physically restructures itselfWhy getting outside isn't just nice advice - it's actually backed by science for mental healthHow to start small with scheduling time for yourself (yes, even scheduling a shower counts)The grief that comes with losing your old self, even when you wanted to be a momWhy feeling excited about time away from your kid doesn't make you a terrible mother

When life falls apart, the instinct is to fix everything around us. But what if the real transformation begins when we stop fixing and start listening? In this solo episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I explore what really happens beneath the surface when everything seems to fall apart — whether it's a divorce, job loss, burnout, or simply the feeling that something isn't right. Most of us are wired to chase external fixes, but these surface-level changes rarely lead to lasting relief. Instead, I invite you to turn inward and ask a radically different question: What is this crisis trying to show me about myself? From perfectionism and people-pleasing to over-responsibility and emotional avoidance, I unpack the deep-rooted patterns that often lead to breakdown. And I offer a new path — one rooted in slowing down, being with discomfort, and rebuilding from a place of presence and alignment. This isn't about bouncing back. It's about becoming who you were meant to be all along.   What we explore External fixes feel productive, but rarely heal the root cause. Crises are often invitations, not punishments. Patterns like people-pleasing and overachievement stem from early survival strategies — but they eventually lead us out of alignment.
 Healing requires slowing down, being with discomfort, and allowing clarity to emerge. Rebuilding your life starts by asking: Who am I becoming in this process? Feeling like life is falling apart? You don't have to figure it out alone. My coaching programs are designed to support your transformation from the inside out.

Ambitious Women vs Lost Boys: The New Gender Divide

The gender divide is tearing through every corner of our lives right now, and honestly? It's fucking confusing out there. While ambitious women are crushing it in boardrooms and lecture halls, we're watching a crisis of masculinity unfold in real time—and the dating challenges that follow are enough to make you want to swipe left on humanity altogether.How did we get to a place where traditional gender roles feel both completely outdated and weirdly appealing again, where toxic masculinity battles with something called "tonic masculinity," and where the trad wife movement is somehow trending on the same timeline as record-breaking female college enrollment? If you're watching this cultural battlefield from the middle like I am, wondering what the hell happened to just... connecting with people, then buckle up because we're about to unpack why everyone feels so damn lost.In today's episode, we're talking about everything from the rise of incels to why Gen Z is rushing back to church, plus the real tea on why building meaningful friendships in adulthood feels harder than landing your dream job. This isn't about picking sides—it's about understanding how gender and mental health, modern family dynamics, and our collective fear of rejection are shaping the way we love, work, and show up in the world.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why the gender divide is creating an 80/20 dating crisis that's leaving high-achieving women struggling to find equal partnersThe shocking data behind the crisis of masculinity—including why suicide rates among young men are skyrocketing and what it means for all of usHow toxic masculinity versus tonic masculinity is reshaping what it means to be a man in 2025 (and why Tim Walz is the perfect example)The real political agenda behind the trad wife movement and why "prairie core" isn't as innocent as those sourdough starters make it seemWhy 60% of college students are now women and how this educational flip is changing modern family gender roles foreverThe connection between avoidance of pain, dating challenges, and why everyone's rushing back to traditional gender normsHow ambitious women are burning out trying to prove their worth while simultaneously being told to "lean back" into feminine energyThe surprising strategy for building deep friendships in adulthood that actually works (hint: it involves getting comfortable with rejection)If this episode hit a nerve, GOOD! It means you're awake and ready to stop avoiding the hard conversations that actually change things. The state of gender roles is playing out in every boardroom, bedroom, and dating app, and understanding why we've ended up here gives you serious power to navigate it all differently.So tell me: which part of this cultural shift resonates most with your own experience? Are you feeling the dating struggles, the friendship challenges, or maybe you're questioning everything you thought you knew about modern gender norms?If you're ready to build something meaningful in your business, relationships, or leadership while working through any of this cultural chaos, book a free strategy call with me at allisonhare.com/freecall to find your voice in this shifting landscape.Links & Mentioned Resources"The Mask You Live In" - Documentary by Jennifer Newsome (Gavin Newsom's wife) about how boys are socialized to suppress emotionsThe Lost Boys Study - Research from The Center for Social Justice (UK-based organization) examining educational and economic disparities affecting young menEmily in Your Phone - Substack newsletter by Emily Amick discussing the political undertones of the tradwife movementLaunch your podcast - Book a free clarity call with AllisonNotable Time Stamps00:01 - Episode introduction: The elephant in the gender studies room and why everything feels confusing right now02:30 - Growing up in the 90s: How women were socialized to be small, pleasant, and pick-me girls06:45 - The makeup bag story: Personal reflection on teenage socialization and the need to "present perfectly"09:15 - The Lost Boys Study: Data on how men are struggling educationally, economically, and mentally12:20 - Male suicide crisis: Why suicide is now the leading cause of death for men under 5014:10 - "The Mask You Live In" documentary discussion: How boys are limited to only two emotions17:35 - Toxic vs. tonic masculinity explained (Tim Walz as an example)19:45 - The incel movement and Andrew Tate's influence on frustrated young men25:30 - The tradwife movement: Political undertones behind the "prairie core" aesthetic31:20 - Personal story: Leaving corporate job and unlearning "never rely on a man" messaging36:15 - Modern dating crisis: The 80/20 problem and educational gender flip40:25 - Friendship struggles: The shame of not having a best friend as a high-performing woman43:50 - Coach Dara's friendship strategy: Being upfront about wanting deep connections48:30 - Avoidance of pain as the root of cultural problems52:15 - Final thoughts on connection, rejection, and getting out of comfort zones Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Hey friend, welcome back to The Found Podcast! If there's one thing I've learned in my years of business, it's this: You cannot do this alone. No matter how independent, driven, or capable you are, success is never a solo journey. Yet, so many ambitious women hesitate to reach out, lean on others, or build the community they need to thrive. In this episode, I share my journey of discovering the power of community, from my first vision-boarding session with EmpowerHer to the mastermind groups and business friendships that have shaped my success. We dive into why finding your people is crucial and how you can start building your own circle of support today. What You'll Learn: Why isolation leads to burnout (and how to avoid it!) The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people who challenge and support you Actionable steps to find, build, and nurture your community How to let go of the "I can do it all by myself" mentality and lean on others when needed Key Takeaways: You are not alone. Find the right community that aligns with your goals and values. Your community should challenge you. Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. Success isn't about doing it all. It's about knowing who to call when you need help. If you're feeling isolated while you pursue your ambitious goals, take this episode as your sign to get started in finding your people.
