I finished listening to episode 184 a few minutes ago and felt compelled to write a review. “If it’s not working, what’s the point?” was a breath of fresh air while I’m going through some intense trauma in my life. I am grateful for Alison’s validation for those of us navigating dark chapters of our lives. I adore the fact she offers actual tools instead of toxic positivity. Thank you so so SO much Alison for being a bright spot!

Wowza! Alison is such a bright shiny light! I have been listening to and loving her podcast since the beginning but this one resonated with me so strongly- yes I sat in my car weeping! Her kindness, authenticity & ability to connect on a deeply human, relatable level is a straight up gift to the world. Do yourself a favor and check out episode 184 for a sweet solo Alison episode! It will leave you feeling less alone, more confident & make you fall back in love with your big crazy creative dreams!

There is nothing like a solo Alison episode (ballad)!!!! The episodes where she gets vulnerable and shares her frickin amazing and artful thoughts always leave me feeling ready to enjoy my life for whatever it is in the moment. So grateful for Alison’s presence in my life (even just over internet) for the last several years. It always comes at the right time <3

Today I listened to 184. The night before I got blood work results back. Me thinking everything was fine, was told my liver wasn’t doing too good, and I was on track for type 2 diabetes. Being a healthy person my whole life, this came as a snack in the face. I’m having to rethink everything and change habits. So hearing how I can make this work even when I feel like I can’t, was just a good reminder that I can do this! Thank you for sharing at the perfect time I needed it!

This podcast is like a breath of fresh air. If I need to be cheered up, this is the place I go. I always feel better after listening. There are so many great truths shared, and I appreciate Alison‘s vulnerability. I think she’s amazing!

After listening for years it is HIGH time I left a review!! Last night, I finally introduced my teen to your podcast. We went wayyyy back to episode 25 and had the best listen! I think why I love your podcast so much is that both Alison and Eric are so good at reading great books and imparting the wisdom they get. Thank you both for your efforts and light! Also, I’ve been subscribed to Eric’s music platform Pleasant Pictures for years and I love using his curated music for our family videos. I love how you can narrow down your search by using emotions! Such a perfect way to elevate our videos! Thanks guys!!!

Alison, sometimes we wonder if the work we do in the world matters. And I know it to be true that if we impact even one life, our work was enough. And you’ve impacted mine, if nothing else. I was in residential treatment for anorexia last year, a scary and tiring place& I listened to your podcast and read your book throughout my time there. Both were vital in keeping me afloat and hopeful. Thank you for all you do. It has blessed me forever.

I haven’t written a review before now because I simply couldn’t find the words. How do you adequately express the love and appreciation you have for someone that you haven’t even met, but they’ve had such an impact in your life?! I’ve laughed, cried, learned new things, experienced paradigm shifts, and felt just “a little more awesome” in some pretty dark moments. Thank you for continuing to show up and share your gift that uplifts and instills hope in others. I will △⃒⃘Lways be one of your biggest fans!

I’ve been an on again off again listener over the years, and every time I come back I feel welcome and at home - comfortable, if you will. The show is interesting, entertaining, thought provoking and fun! I always learn something new, often about myself. I am a forever fan and I am so grateful you are continuing to make this show! Thank you!

Finally!!! Very, very happy to have The Allison show back in my feed! Such an amazing show that has made me a better human. Forever thankful! Loved the new format of an interview and Eric’s music too!

I don’t remember when I stopped listening to your podcast not for any reason other than I was too “busy”. It’s been years since I’ve sat down to listen. The help and peace I received from your podcast in the past is incredible. I’ve been struggling lately and thought why the heck am I not listening to Alison and Eric anymore. I put my son down for a nap and pulled up your podcast. Oohhhh this anger episode from April was everything I needed to hear. And every confirmation that I need more of Alison and Eric back in my life! When you read the review at the end of the episode I started to cry because I too have received so much from you and the work you guys do! Freakin love you guys! Thank you for doing what you do!!🫶🏽 Happy to be back! Starting your book today!! CONGRATS BY THE WAY!! Can’t wait to listen to Eric’s podcast too!👏🏽

I started listen to “Awesome with Alison” a few years ago and love everything she and Eric share! They are hilarious and have such a raw and real perspective. Listening to several of their episodes has made me consider and change so many aspects of my life and I am so grateful. I really do always feel uplifted and awesome after listening to an episode because they are really good at telling you how awesome you are in so many different ways! I struggle with anxiety and depression and hearing Alison and other guests on their show openly share about the struggle of mental health, has inspired me and made me want to change and be better about opening up about my own struggles. It has deepened my relationships, made me more confident, and comfortable in my own skin. I’m so grateful for so many of the things that Alison preaches and love that she and Eric use their platform and following to do such an important and life changing work. I also love that they love good music and sodalicious as much as I do! 🤤❤️

This podcast will definitely leave you feeling awesome! We love Alison’s personality and the energy she brings to each episode. Team Grid + Glam

I loved this episode because me and my husband just hit 15 years this year too! This was a therapeutic listen after my husband and I had just had a week of bad communicating and knowing that it’s okay to still struggle with the seemingly small stuff after being married for a while. I wanted to thank Eric for the “Shadow Divers” book recommendation too - such a good read and I have read more of Robert K’s books now. Very excited for your podcast as well! You guys are AWESOME!

Great job, Alison! Your empathy, skill, encouragement, and collaboration with your husband to bring joy to others is amazing! My wife got me started listening to you and we enjoy talking about your shared lessons and experiences with each other as our own relationship homework! For the last couple of years you have had such a positive impact on us. Thank you! We’re also reading your book! Keep it up, you two!

Coulda sworn I left a review because I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning but here goes. Wow, the alchemy of Alison and Eric together is just stardust! Come for the beautiful insights on feeling as awesome as you are (practical AND meaty enough for your soul to chew on until the next episode); stay for the hilarious banter, the authenticity, and the growth they are both so obviously committed to. If you like me have consumed a ton of self help, make this one your new go-to (if you’re somehow living under a rock and haven’t heard of it by now). This is not your average self help/take responsibility for your thoughts blather. It’s oh-so-entertaining, insightful, and truly helpful. They aren’t claiming to know everything, they’re just sharing their journeys (ding!) and that is the best, best medicine. Thank you both so much for sharing and shining.

What a wonderful gift this podcast is. These two divine individuals always resonate with me. It leaves me feeling really happy with the music at the end. I’m always lost in thought after I listen to an episode… keep up the great wisdom and keep sharing it with us you two. Emily

I was chilling, letting the pleasant chatter of the podcast keep me company as I wound down and got ready to go to sleep, when Eric’s luscious baritone startled the heck out of me. His delivery is everything a meditation should be (but seldom is). I sailed away on a cloud of tranquility. What a cool surprise! Thanks, Eric.

Alison and Eric are a bright ray on sunshine on the internet! I’m so grateful for how real they are. Thank you both for doing what you do!!

I absolutely love this podcast. My friend showed it to me and I’ve been binging for the last month now and I’m still not tired of it. I love the sweet and funny dynamic between Alison and her husband Eric, I like to think me and my husband have that too 😆, and I love how they share that for the world. I have my own podcast, Bare Minimum Babe, and I get so inspired listening to Awesome with Alison that I ALWAYS take a note of something or feel a burst of energy to write SOMETHING for another episode idea or an epiphany I had. Love the honesty SO SO much. I also love how I can listen with my daughter because it’s PG so she can hear your beautiful thoughts as well. Please come to the Washington DC region so I can meet you in person and get a signed book!

Alison, I’m so grateful you’re back and sharing your wisdom. I especially love your current truth shining through! You speak heartfelt messages with transparent experiences shared that reach my aching heart, mind, and soul. Continue to share! There are thousands of that “one” person you reach. Thank you for being my person to turn to when all of my resources are spent and I need a person. I love you and really really appreciate all that you share 💛

With Alison and Eric too…You both balance each other out well. Alison puts her heart on the line and for that the world is a better place. I really appreciate you both for giving yourselves to the world. I from Portland and not religious in any way but all these incredible podcasts coming out of Utah have me wondering if I should move. So many kind people over there. Keep it up you two. I’ll have to buy Alison’s book soon.

I’m a newly stay at home mom, after 10+ years of career and lots of education. Although I know I’m doing the right thing for myself, I am in a big redefining time in my life. This podcast is helping me find value in who I am, not what I do. Alison and Eric keep me company during the Isla outing moments of motherhood.

I’ve always loved Alison + Eric toooo. This recent episode really spoke to me. I’ve had a lot of health difficulties throughout my life but it took my leg breaking in 3 spots last summer to finally get diagnosed with an ultra rare genetic metabolic disease. The thing is- it’s genetic and I was born with it and I’ve spent my entire life undiagnosed. It takes traveling across the country to work with the international expert on this disease (hypophosphatasia) at Vanderbilt because the top endocrinologists in Most states have had very few to no patients with this disease before. I just got back from an appointment and I’m going to re-start the incredibly painful treatment for this disease but my doctor isn’t sure it will work for me this time. I’ve felt very discouraged yet hopeful and I wasn’t fully feeling my feelings + when Eric’s song came on I finally let myself have a good cry. Thank you for the inspiration.

I have been following Alison for 8 years (🤯!! I even attended one of the OG dance parties) & have listened to her podcast from the beginning. This podcast has now been a staple for over 4 years in my life and I just have to say that IT NEVER GETS OLD! Alison is one of the few online personalities who lets others in on her growth experiences (the highs and lows) so the knowledge she shares is always applicable. I KNOW I can trust it because I feel like I’ve witnessed it all first hand- so believe her advice and live it! She has helped me navigate through career shifts, starting a new business, entering a new marriage, entering motherhood— just about everything. So happy y’all are back. Also, can’t wait for the book!!

I am new to listening to podcasts and was recommended by others to listen to this one. I love how honest and raw Alison and Eric are, I hope they keep going.

I actually knew Alison before she was famous—go Helamen Halls! And she was just as hilarious back then. I followed her blog during the 2 years I blogged for fun (not as a business). But after I stopped blogging myself, I kinda forgot about the Alison Brand (I know, I don’t know how that’s possible). But when I started a network marketing business 4.5 years ago I started getting really into personal development & naturally came across Alison’s content again. Alison has put out so much free content to make this world better (including this podcast—-so please support it if you can). At the beginning of the pandemic she recorded a few children’s book readings and my 4 year old watched them over & over again. She knew Alison was an old friend. So when she also listened to Michelle Obama’s book readings during the pandemic, she thought Michelle Obama was my friend too & worshipped the 2 equally! (But nobody cares about my kid). Okay, back to the podcast. It is truly the best & most fun form of personal development there is. Every episode is a quick listen packed with golden nuggets that will drastically improve your life. Eric (who I didn’t know much about until I started listening to the podcast a few months ago) is equally as awesome as Alison & they compliment each other perfectly. They are both so sincere in their mission to make us feel more awesome. They have taught me new concepts & reinforced what I already knew but not practicing. They are vulnerable & relatable so you feel like you know them and that they understand exactly what you are going through. I always feel great after listening and being reminded that nobody can be me & I am already as awesome as I need to be. One of my favorite thought McNuggets from the podcast is “Invest in people who invest in you.” Alison & Eric have invested in all of us with the content of this podcast, so again please invest in them if you can. I have been meaning to become a patron for a few months, but kept forgetting & figured it wasn’t urgent since they were probably getting 1000s of them. When Alison shared last week that they only had 12 so far I thought it was criminal & that we were all robbing them. I signed up & it was so easy and immediately made me feel more awesome. Thank you Alison & Eric for your years & years of contribution into making this world a better place.

I have been listening to Awesome with Alison since the beginning. Her & Eric started me on my journey (ding) to healing my mind, body, & soul. A journey that still continues today. I loved the latest episode about changing your mindset. I have been feeling frustrated & today decided to change my location & plan my day on the front porch. A simple change that gave so much clarity. Love you Alison & Eric, so happy you are back!!

I’ve listened to every single podcast episode and I feel like we’re friends! I love that Alison and Eric share their lives, what they’re learning, the good and the bad and the inspiring with us all. Your book is going to be such a blessing to lots of people and I hope you know you’re making a difference 💜 Big hugs from SC!

My favorite podcast!! Alison and Eric are so hilarious, so relatable, and so inspiring. I can honestly say that this podcast has changed my life and helped pick me up when I hit rock bottom. I love to re-listen to episodes that inspire me. I have listened to the Moana episode probably 10 times and still cry every time. I’m so grateful for this podcast! It brings so much light and joy to my life. Thank you Alison and Eric!

I have loved listening to your podcast for a long time- I love your humor, and how relatable you are. I can’t wait to read your new book! Thank you for shining your light on the world. 💛

I had decided to start over at the beginning and enjoy each episode - delightful - again 127, You Matter, adorable Darryl and his weekly bubble baths :) … Mar18,2020 Alison’s helpful mantras ep137 Eric’s, On Your Mind/Shiny Beats … and yesterday I saw I’d reached 142 and was mentally preparing myself to run out of episodes and there! Could it be true?? Episode 150! They’re back! I’m so so relieved to hear the family is well and things are on a healing path. I’m so grateful for this podcast. So so grateful. My book is on order, can’t wait to enjoy it in August! Yes it’s the content and a very powerful message each episode but truly it’s just you two that we are all so enamored with. So glad you’re back.

My heart skipped a beat when I opened my podcast app and discovered there was a NEW episode! There isn’t even an emoji to explain the joy!! Both of your voices were so very missed and I’m just so happy to hear that you are both ok! I pre- ordered the book the second you said it was available!! I didn’t even finish listening before finding it and checking out baby!! CANNOT WAIT to receive it! Thank you for giving and sharing it has impacted me! You two are truly so awesome and I simply and very very genuinely say thank you ❤️

I am so excited to see you are back! I loved this podcast last year it helped me through some really hard times! Alison always shared helpful advice very intentionally and never makes me feel shame like other self help podcasts do!

Alison and Eric, thank you for all you do. I am constantly on a struggle bus mentally and physically and every time I listen to your show my heart is lifted and I feel like there is hope and that the light is a little bit brighter inside. You two being so much light into this world and I thank you for all you light!

Alison and Eric, Thank you for making a freaking powerful, practical, and fun podcast. I have been listening to you guys for years. I experience a noticeable positive difference in my day- my life- when I listen. I recently listened to your pep talk (ep. 61) and… I needed it. I really needed it. I could not stop crying listening to (my friend) Alison reassuring me that I am doing an incredible job, that I am enough, and that my best is awesome. After that powerful experience, I could not NOT tell you guys how grateful I am. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this beautiful work- the research, the thought, the reading, the recording, the music- all of it! Alison, you are a very sexy Deepak, and Eric, you are a very cool Eckhart. (Please let that be the highest of compliments.) My focus lately is to BE PRESENT. Life has its many ups and downs, and worrying about all the terrible things that could happen, will not stop terrible things from happening. So truly, thank you for reminding me to be present, to breathe, to be grateful, and for reminding me that I am enough… and that I am already as awesome as I need to be. Seriously, I love you guys. Thank you.

So I listen to Alison’s podcast all the time and she is always talking about how she is aiming to help “the one” who is crying on the floor. Well hi, hello, it’s me: the girl that is crying on the floor. I wanted to come on here and leave a review because I just need to say thank you for the countless times Alison (and Eric too!) have helped me off the floor (literally and figuratively). The other day I slipped and fell at work and broke my PATELLA. My patella!!!! Now I can’t do any of the fun things I planned the rest of the summer, and have been feeling so sad for myself for the last two days. This morning I decided to listen to some Alison content hoping to feel just a “tiny bit better”. And it freaking worked. I am so grateful for Alison and all the amazing ways she has impacted my life. Thank you so much for being you. -Maria

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years!! And because of that, because of Alison and Eric, I can truly say that I know my purpose is to be me, and I now know and trust myself more than I ever have. I’m consistently going back to episodes I know I need and EVERY TIME, Alison and Eric meet me where I’m at, and help me feel validated, enough, and more empowered to live my best life. The tools I’ve put to practice, and the things I’ve learned from this podcast are invaluable. I truly do walk away from these episodes feeling more awesome that I did before. Thank you Eric and Alison.

Love all your love! Thanks for your fun stories and light! We need all the light we can get! I love your vulnerability, laughs, tears and excitement. I have been able to see things in new perspectives to help with a lot of challenges and changes in life. With being a new mom your podcast has helped me to step in my power and remember to embrace things I love and can show my kids too their power and light. All the best to both of you! Woot woot woot! Air hump air hump air hump, sexy dance😍🥳💃😁

I just wanted to express how much I have relied upon referenced and passed on this remarkable podcast. It has encouraged inspired and motivated me. It has comforted, soothed healed and amused me. It’s kept me laughing as I ran in 95 degree heat. It’s had me wiping tears when I felt seen and accepted. This podcast will speak to whatever is going on in your soul. It’s magic that way. My fondest wish is that everyone I know and love soaks themselves in a little Alison (and Eric tooooo) every chance they get. Alison truly makes folks feel good about being where they are and doing what it is they need to be doing... be it starting an empire or eating chips and binging on Netflix for an entire weekend. She genuinely conveys the the truth that we are all ALREADY as awesome as we need to be exclusive from what we do or produce or feel at any time. She’s courageously vulnerable and bold and gentle and kind and audacious and brilliant in one “come as you are” angelic package. I’m always so excited when another episode drops. Thank you so so much for the incredible work you both do . You will never know the magnitude of its impact. ❤️🙏🏼

My first encounter with Alison was at a local soda place. She wasn’t there, but she is cool enough to have a drink named after her. The Alison Show combo of Diet Coke, cranberry, and fresh lime makes my day every time AND SO DOES THIS PODCAST! It has the right stuff to put a little pep in your step and take the edge off of life. Life isn’t always awesome, but it’s a little more awesome because Alison (and Eric!!) is in it :) thanks you two, you are the best.

I am now living my best life because of Alison. She shares impactful tips on how to love your life when your mind wants to believe otherwise. Dealing with anxiety is a real thing, but Alison shares ways to deal with some of life’s biggest “drains”. She spreads positivity & happiness. I canNOT wait until Alison’s book is available for purchase. Oh & hey Eric, too! Love y’all!

Great

Shut up. “...even if it’s 10 minutes of opera singing in the car...”. The freaking NECESSITY to give myself permission to express myself somewhere. Somehow. Without “assessing the needs of everyone else in the room” first. I am 60 years old (but first...how am I already 60??? When will I feel like the grownup in the room???) and this is a lesson LONG PAST DUE. Thank you AGAIN for bringing the light. Love this podcast so much....

I’ve been listening to the podcast for almost 5 years, and have always loved Alison and Eric’s energy and insights. I woke up in the night recently and could not get back to sleep. As my mind got busier I decide to journal, and some difficult feelings came up. I was feeling inadequate, aimless, and unimportant. And in that moment, crying, alone in the middle of the night, I heard Alison’s mantra: “I live my purpose in everything I do.” Her wisdom has embedded itself in my mind, and was there for me in the moment I needed it. Thank you, Alison and Eric, for the encouragement, the tools, and for never letting me forget that “only I can be me, and I’m already as awesome as I need to be.” ❤️

I’m a military spouse, going through my first deployment, it has been rough. But the hardest part is feeling like I don’t know who I am without my husband. While searching for guidance and I came across this podcast. It has helped me so much, and I just subscribed to Awesome on Demand. I’m so grateful for all of this incredible content helping me realize I’m allowed to be sad and miss my husband and also be happy and have a killer year without him. 💜

I’ve been faithfully listening to the Awesome with Alison podcast for 2-3 years. I am not afraid to let podcasts go if they aren’t speaking to me, but Alison (and Eric too!) always give me good advice, which is why this podcast has stayed in my rotation for YEARS! I love the positive energy this podcast puts out into the world. It’s a game changer, give it a listen, you won’t regret it.

I just recently discovered Awesome with Alison, talk about perfect timing! This year I want to focus on me and the 3 part series on finding your purpose spoke to me. It was like the ultimate aha moment that made me stop, think and listen. It was like something cracked open and I found myself emotional on all levels as I listened. I started taking time to ask myself those questions on finding my purpose.... game changer! This is exactly what I needed and I can’t wait to for more as I joined Awesome on Demand because it is time I took care of myself to live the best life ever. ❤️

I recently discovered Awesome with Alison (& Eric tooo) and have been hopping around between new and older episodes. Episode #114 showed up in my queue today just when I needed it. I've been dealing with a truly difficult situation that has stolen a lot of my peace and joy. (Which is why I've been binge-listening -- so much good stuff!) This particular episode really hit home for me. I feel more empowered to feel the feelings and move forward with the next right step. I am truly thankful for the wisdom, encouragement, and empowerment within every episode. You are making a difference in my life during a time when I felt stuck and completely alone. Thank you for making me laugh, cry, and feel all the feelings. Sending so much love to you guys!

Always finish this podcast feeling refocussed and refreshed. Alisons wit and banter with her husband and her guests always put a smile on my face. I feel permission to cry, laugh, zone out or be angry. Thank you for all the work y’all put into this and Alison I hope you never stop referencing Moana, it’s awesome.
