You Get to Decide: Mindset Coaching for Driven Women Ready to Go from Stuck to Unstoppable

92. The 10 Things I’d Tell You If You Think You’re Failing

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 01:00:00 -0400

I’m in the middle of my 10 hard seasons series...if you think you’re failing, want you to hear this: your brain is wired to show you what isn’t working. That does not mean nothing is working.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 10 things I would want you to know if you feel like you’re failing in your business, your parenting, your goals, your habits, your marriage, or just in life. This is for the high achiever whose brain keeps offering, “you’re behind,” “it’s not working,” or “maybe this means you should quit.”

I talk about why your brain on factory settings will always try to fail ahead of time, why people who care deeply are the ones most likely to think they’re failing, why comparison is poison, why most people quit in the liminal space, and why failure only becomes final if you decide it does.

I also share what I’ve learned through podcasting, building businesses, changing careers, closing things that were no longer aligned, and learning how to separate facts from the story my brain wants to tell.

This episode will help you stop using failure as evidence against yourself and start using it as information, data, and direction.

If this episode resonated and you want to actually practice this work in real time, I host Teachings & Practice every Thursday.

It’s a live space where I teach these concepts, answer questions, and help you apply them to your real life, not just understand them intellectually.

91. 10 Things I Want You to Know If Money Makes You Anxious

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 01:00:00 -0500

If money makes you anxious, I made this episode for you AND you're not alone.

There are so many people especially women walking around functioning, working, raising kids, building businesses, taking care of everyone… while silently panicking about money. The kind of panic that lives in the chest. The kind that makes you avoid your bank app. The kind that makes you feel like you’re behind, failing, or one step away from everything falling apart.

This episode is me telling you the truth: money can be a trigger, but it’s rarely the root. The root is what your nervous system learned about safety, support, control, receiving, and worth.

In this episode I share the 10 things I want you to know if money feels heavy, scary, or shameful. I talk about how we use money the same way we use food sometimes, as a regulator. I talk about why “more money” doesn’t automatically create peace, and why some people have plenty and still live in fear. And I talk about how you can rewire this relationship so you can look at your numbers without collapsing into shame.

Because the goal isn’t perfection.

The goal is leadership.

The goal is being the kind of woman who can face the truth, stay steady, and make empowered decisions even when it’s uncomfortable.

90. How to Get Out of Your Own Way, and Stay There (Live Talk)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Stop trying to fix yourself. You’re solving for the wrong thing.

Most people can get out of their own way for a day. The problem is staying there.

In this live talk, I break down why so many capable people feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or one step away from burnout, even when they’re doing “all the right things.”

This isn’t a motivation speech. It’s a leadership conversation.

You’ll learn:

Why identity is your default leadership, not your personality
How protectors like the inner critic, perfectionist, procrastinator, victim, and scarcity show up under pressure
Why burnout doesn’t come from your circumstances, it comes from the identity leading inside the circumstance
The simple framework I use to shift from factory settings to intentional self leadership
How to create emotional safety in your body, so your mind gets quiet and you can move forward with clarity

If you’ve ever felt like you want to go one direction but your body pulls you another, this episode will explain exactly why, and what to do about it.

89. 10+ Things That Became Possible When I Stopped Running From My Emotions

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

What if the thing you’re avoiding is the doorway to your power?

In this episode of the You Get to Decide podcast, I share the 10 powerful shifts that happened when I stopped running from my emotions and started building emotional capacity instead.

This is not about being emotional.

This is about becoming unshakeable.

I talk about:

• Becoming a safer parent

• Healing my eating disorder by feeling urges instead of numbing

• Making friends with shame

• Becoming nearly impossible to trigger

• Building self-trust in uncertainty

• Expanding my identity without collapsing

• Why peace became my baseline

If you’re a high achiever who feels stuck, overwhelmed, rushing to achieve, burnt out, or constantly triggered, this episode will show you why.

Your emotions are not here to destroy you.

They are messengers.

And when you stop running, you become powerful.

88. 10 Things I’d Want You to Know If You’re Ready to Quit on Yourself

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Hard seasons don’t mean you’re failing.

They mean something inside you is being asked to lead differently.

In this episode, I walk you through 10 things I’d want you to know if you’re ready to quit on yourself—based on the seasons where I wanted to quit and didn’t.

You’ll hear exactly:

What’s actually happening internally when quitting feels tempting
Why fear and protection often masquerade as logic
How I stopped letting emotions dictate my decisions
Why staying present changed my energy, clarity, and confidence
What it looks like to stay self-led without certainty

This is for anyone who knows they’re meant for more and refuses to walk away from themselves.

And if you know deep down that you’re meant for more, but you keep starting, stopping, and losing momentum, I created a 3-day live training just for that.

Meant for More is happening February 17–19.

This is not motivation.

This is not mindset fluff.

This is self-leadership.

Over three days, I’ll teach you how to stop letting old identities run the show, how to bring safety back online in your body, and how to move forward without forcing, fixing, or abandoning yourself.

87. 10 Things I Learned as a Lifelong Addict (and How I Changed My Relationship With It)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Addiction is not about the substance.

It’s about relief.

In this episode, I share the 10 most important things I learned during my hardest season living in addiction, specifically food addiction, but this conversation goes far beyond food.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a pattern you “should be past,”

If you’ve carried shame about behaviors you don’t understand,

If you’ve tried control, discipline, or willpower and still felt stuck,

this episode will change how you see yourself.

I break down why addiction is a nervous system pattern, not a character flaw, why shame fuels compulsive behavior, and why control only tightens the grip. I also share what I never learned in recovery rooms, how identity and self-leadership actually heal patterns, and why your body has never been sabotaging you, only protecting you.

This is not a recovery conversation rooted in fear or scarcity.

This is a self-leadership conversation rooted in safety, identity, and choice.

If you’ve been reaching for food, work, money, approval, productivity, scrolling, or control to feel okay inside your body, this episode is for you.

You are not broken.

You are not powerless.

And nothing is wrong with you.

86. 10 Things I Learned When I Stopped Letting My Mind Run the Show

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

For a long time, I thought the work was fixing my mind.

Or just shutting it up.

What I eventually learned was this

my mind didn’t need fixing

it needed leadership.

In this episode, I’m sharing 10 things I learned when I stopped letting my mind run the show, after coming out of one of the longest and hardest seasons of my life.

Because your brain on factory settings will always choose safety and smallness over truth and what’s actually possible.

It pulls from the past to predict the future.

It defaults to familiar patterns and energy conservation even when those patterns are costing you your body, your business, your confidence, or your peace.

I walk you through how thoughts actually create results, why awareness alone doesn’t change behavior, how the brain and body work together to keep you stuck, and what it really looks like to interrupt self-sabotage in real time especially around money, food, visibility, boundaries, and ambition.

I also share what I do when those factory settings try to take the lead and how to step into your power and stay there.

This episode is about reclaiming the authority you handed over to fear, urges, conditioning, and old identities.

You’ll hear how I stopped negotiating with my mind, learned to separate thoughts from decisions, and trained my nervous system to hold both ease and challenge as I stepped into bigger goals and higher-quality problems.

If you’ve been doing the work, building awareness, and still feel like you gain momentum and then hide, this episode will show you why.

And if you want support applying this in your own life:

I’m hosting MEANT FOR MORE, a free 3-day live training February 17–19 at noon EST, where I teach why your mind defaults to smallness and how to lead yourself from your most powerful identity instead. Register here:

85. 10 Things I Learned After Years of Chronic Anxiety and Worry

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Anxiety isn’t a flaw.

It isn’t weakness. And it isn’t something you’re destined to live with forever.

In this episode, I share 10 of the most important things I learned after living for years with chronic anxiety and worry, in my body, in my mind, and in my daily life.

We talk about:

Why anxiety is a messenger, not the enemy
How worry becomes a false form of control
The real reason your nervous system craves certainty
Why safety doesn’t happen in your thoughts, it happens in your body
How leadership, not avoidance, changes anxiety
What happens when you stop abandoning yourself
Why identity work was the deepest healing layer for me
And how presence and slowness calm what urgency fuels

This episode is not just about “getting rid” of anxiety. It’s about understanding it, leading it, and creating safety from the inside out. So when it does pop up you have the tools to "get rid of it"

If anxiety has been running your life, this conversation will help you understand it differently, and show you what’s actually possible.

If you want to learn or ask questions in a live setting this is for you:

84. 10 Things I Learned About Shame and the Spirals It Creates

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Shame is one of the most powerful forces keeping us stuck, small, and disconnected from who we really are.

In this episode, Allison breaks down the facts about shame, what a shame spiral actually is, how it forms in the body before the mind ever gets involved, and why shame feels so true, urgent, and necessary even when it isn’t factual.

You’ll learn why some people collapse inward while others project outward, how shame disconnects you from your highest-level thinking, and why most shame spirals don’t actually resolve, they just get interrupted.

Most importantly, Allison shares The Return of You™ method, the process she uses personally and with clients to neutralize shame, restore safety in the body, and return to aligned action without fixing, forcing, or abandoning yourself.

This episode is for anyone who knows they are capable of more, but keeps getting pulled off course by patterns they don’t fully understand yet.

83. 10 Things I Learned in the Hard Seasons (an overview)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 01:00:00 -0500

Welcome to the first episode of a 10-week series on the You Get to Decide podcast.

This season is called 10 Things I Learned in My Hard Seasons, and over the next 10 weeks, I’m sharing 100 lessons pulled directly from the hardest seasons of my life.

Real lived truth.

In this first episode, I lay the groundwork for the entire series.

I share what I learned after years of anxiety, shame spirals, binge eating, self-sabotage, chronic self-doubt, survival mode, and believing there was something wrong with me.

What I learned is this:

You were never broken

You were never behind

And you were never alone

Hard seasons don’t mean you’re failing.

They mean something real is being revealed.

In this episode, I walk you through the core truths that changed everything for me, including

• Why I stayed in hard seasons longer than I needed to

• How shame and self-judgment prolong suffering

• Why desire is not a flaw but a guide

• How compassion moves you forward faster than force

• Why you never needed fixing, only understanding

• How returning to yourself is the most linear path there is

This episode is for you if-

You feel like life has been harder than it should be

You’ve questioned your capability

You’ve wondered if something is wrong with you

You’re exhausted from trying to fix yourself

You know you’re meant for more but don’t know how to get there

This season is a reminder

Every road leads back to you.

82. Self-Forgiveness: Putting Down the Past and Walking Into the New Year Clean

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 01:00:00 -0500

This is the final episode of the year, and I’m sharing it from a place of deep gratitude, honesty, and real life.

In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to end a year without dragging shame, regret, or old identities into the next one. I share how self-forgiveness has been the fastest path to healing in my own life and why being harder on yourself has never been the thing that creates change.

If you’ve struggled this week with rest, routine, motivation, or the emotional aftermath of the holidays, you’re not alone. I share openly about my own challenges during this in-between time and how I’m learning to meet myself with compassion instead of judgment.

You’ll be guided through a powerful reflection I use in my own life and with my clients

What worked

What didn’t work

What I’ll do differently

Not from shame, but from curiosity, wisdom, and growth.

We’ll also talk about forgiveness in a new way, not as something you force, but as something you give back. Letting go of old beliefs, past choices, and identities that no longer belong to you so you can walk into the new year lighter, clearer, and more grounded.

This episode is an invitation to close the year with grace, put down what no longer serves you, and step forward with intention.

81. Why Rest, Ease, and Slowness Are the Answer (Not Just During the Holidays)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 01:00:00 -0500

In this episode, I’m talking about why rest, ease, and slowness aren’t something you earn. They’re the foundation for a sustainable, aligned life. And not just during the holiday season...

Letting go of hustle felt irresponsible to me for a long time. Slowing down felt unsafe. But what I’ve learned is that pushing harder isn’t what creates more. Capacity does.

This episode is about what changed for me when I stopped forcing, why rest actually creates clarity, creativity, and presence, and how slowing down has made my life and work feel lighter and more sustainable.

If you’re tired of rushing, proving, or pushing yourself to the edge, this episode is for you.

80. The End Of Searching

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 01:00:00 -0500

This episode completes The Return of You™ Method by bringing all five pathways together into one embodied truth: nothing you’ve been chasing outside of yourself was ever the answer.

If you’ve been stuck in cycles of anxiety, control, self-sabotage, emotional eating, overworking, people-pleasing, or constantly second-guessing yourself, this episode explains why those patterns exist and how they dissolve when you learn to return to yourself instead of abandoning yourself.

You’ll hear what it means to “close the loop,” how safety and enoughness in the body change everything, and why real transformation doesn’t come from fixing, forcing, or hustling harder. This is the work of integration, where awareness turns into self-trust, self-trust becomes grounded action, and old triggers lose their power because you know how to come home to yourself again and again.

This episode is for anyone if you know you are meant for more or are tired of searching for the missing piece, tired of outsourcing their power, and ready to live from clarity, calm, and deep inner trust.

79. The Truth Beneath All Your Stuckness

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 01:00:00 -0500

In this episode we’re going straight to the root of transformation: identity.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along…

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re powerful in one part of your life and terrified in another…

If you’ve ever felt confused, broken, or frustrated by your patterns…

This episode is for you.

I’m sharing the deeper truth beneath your stuckness: the identities that your nervous system created to keep you safe.

These identities shape what you believe you can have, how you show up, how you cope, how you protect yourself, and what you allow yourself to receive.

And they are the reason you can want something with your mind…

but not feel safe having it in your body.

This is the core of Pathway Four in the Return of You™ Method — Leading From Truth.

Truth is who you are beneath fear, beneath perfectionism, beneath addiction, beneath struggle, beneath the stories that were handed to you or built through survival.

Inside this episode, I walk you through:

• How identities form

• How they keep you stuck

• How to know which one is running the show

• How to step into the identity that can hold your dreams

• Why safety creates every result you want

• And what it means to finally return home to yourself

This is the episode where everything clicks.

Where the stuckness finally makes sense.

Where you see that nothing is wrong with you — you simply haven’t been leading from your truth… yet.

78. Do Your Beliefs Match the Life You Are Working For?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 01:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we step into Pathway 3 of The Return of You™: Belief Reclamation and explore a question most people never ask:

Do your beliefs actually match the life you’re working for?

Because you can work hard, push, hustle, self-develop, or manifest your heart out…

but if your beliefs were shaped in fear, survival, or old protective patterns, your nervous system will pull you back toward the identity that feels safer — not the identity that feels better.

Inside this conversation, I walk you through:

The Belief Loop from the workbook and why your identity can’t outgrow the beliefs underneath it

Why you have multiple “pattern identities” and how they were created through protection, not truth

What “coming home to yourself” actually means — not building a new identity, but returning to the one beneath the fear

How the Return Path Belief Tool helps you separate truth from protection and reclaim the beliefs that match the life you’re working for

Why belief comes last, not first, and why safety makes belief possible

What Belief Reclamation really is — a remembering, not a performance

How to distinguish truth (quiet, steady, relieving) from protection (loud, urgent, dramatic)

How inner knowing and intuition work together to reveal who you’ve always been

At the end of the episode, I guide you through five powerful identity questions that help you hear the truth underneath fear, shame, and old conditioning — so you can finally see whether your beliefs match the life you’re working for.

This episode is a homecoming.

A reclamation.

A remembering of who you’ve always been beneath the patterns.

77. Why Your Nervous System Is The Gatekeeper Of The Life You Want

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 01:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we go deep into Pathway 2 of The Return of You™ Method — the pathway that determines whether your growth feels expansive or impossible.

We talk about what actually happens inside your mind and body when you want something… but can’t seem to move toward it.

Why you shut down even when you’re motivated.

Why you procrastinate, spiral, avoid, or disconnect.

And why none of this means you’re broken — it means your nervous system doesn’t feel safe yet.

I walk you through what dysregulation really feels like in the body, so you can recognize it in real time… and stop making it mean something about your worth.

We explore inner child work and parts work — especially the younger versions of you who learned that slowing down, being seen, receiving, or trying again wasn’t safe. These parts still live inside you, and they’re the ones hitting the brakes when your adult self is trying to accelerate.

Then we move into the heart of Pathway 2:

feeling your feelings.

Not thinking about them.

Not bypassing them.

Actually feeling them.

You’ll learn how to build emotional fluency, how to practice feelings on purpose, and the daily tools to reconnect to your body so you can expand your capacity for the life you’re trying to create.

And I share exactly why this work matters for the rest of the method.

Why you can’t shift beliefs (Pathway 3), build a new identity (Pathway 4), or return to your truth (Pathway 5) without first building safety in your body.

This is the episode that changes how you see yourself — and the limits you thought you had.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck, shut down, or inconsistent… this episode will make everything make sense.

76. The Two D’s That Will Hijack the Life You’re Striving For Every Time

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 01:00:00 -0500

Every single one of us has big desires — the identity we want to step into, the results we’re working toward, the life we know we’re meant for.

And yet… we keep getting pulled off our path.

We know what we want.

We feel the potential inside us.

We try to show up differently.

But something inside hijacks us — again and again.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the Two D’s that derail you every single time if you’re not aware of them:

Dysregulation and Disconnection.

These two forces — happening inside your body and mind — are the real reason you:

procrastinate

overeat

numb

shut down

avoid

scroll

hide

lose momentum

sabotage your progress

and step out of the identity you want to live in

This is what’s been hijacking the life you’re striving for — without you even realizing it.

You’ll learn:

Why your nervous system reacts before you can think

How old beliefs and memories stored in your body get triggered today

Why the brain pulls you away from your truth when things get “unsafe”

Why survival mode feels more familiar than success

Why you abandon yourself even when you don’t want to

How to finally lead your nervous system instead of being led by it

This is the missing awareness most people never get.

And without it, the nervous system will run your life — not your truth.

This episode takes you right to the beginning of the work:

Understanding the forces pulling you away from who you want to be…

and learning how to return to yourself instead.

75. You Are the Pathway to the True You: A Method Is Born.

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 01:00:00 -0500

In this episode, I’m breaking down what identity actually is — and why it stops so many of us from rising into the next level of our lives.

Most people think they’re stuck because they're unmotivated, undisciplined, or “not ready yet.”

But the truth is simpler:

Your brain is wired for external safety…

but transformation requires internal safety.

Your current identity was built to protect you.

It knows how to survive, stay hidden, avoid threat, and operate from old patterns.

So when you reach for more — more success, more visibility, more money, more confidence — your brain creates disconnection. Not because you’re broken, but because it’s trying to keep you safe in the only ways it knows how.

And that’s exactly where this new work was born.

Over the past seven days, the names for each stage of my method revealed themselves. I watched myself move through situations that would’ve shut me down in the past… and instead, I moved through them with clarity and speed. I noticed where my brain wanted to slip into shame, collapse, or old identity — and I returned to myself instead.

That’s when I realized:

these are the 5 pathways every human must walk to come home to who they truly are.

This is The Return of You™ Method.

In this episode, I share:

What identity actually is

Why your brain disconnects when you try to grow

Why internal safety is the foundation for becoming the next version of yourself

How the 5 Pathways revealed themselves in real time as I moved through my own triggers

How I used them to return to my truth instead of staying stuck

Why these pathways now define my entire coaching philosophy

I am, fully and finally, stepping into what I am meant to teach:

I am an identity coach.

I help your nervous system feel at home in the identity you want to show up as —

so you can go from stuck to unstoppable.

Inside my world, you either become the version of you that you already know is inside you…

or, if you don’t know her yet, she’ll be revealed through this process.

And yes — there’s now a workbook that goes along with this work.

It’s not homework.

It’s an enhancement.

A way to deepen the experience, if you choose, of coming home to yourself.

If you’re ready to understand why you get stuck…

and how to return to the real you again and again…

This episode is the beginning.

74. The 5 Pillar Framework That Reveals Your Most Unstoppable You

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 01:00:00 -0500

This episode is your roadmap to the real inner work that leads to lasting transformation. I break down the Stuck to Unstoppable framework—a 5-pillar journey designed to help you uncover subconscious patterns, feel safe in your emotions, create beliefs on purpose, activate your next-level identity, step into grounded self-leadership, and move through failure with self-trust.

This is the work that builds the version of you who gets results—and feels good doing it.

If you’ve been spinning in self-doubt, shame, fear, or paralysis, this episode is your invitation to reclaim your power. I go deep into how we disconnect from ourselves—either by running from the uncomfortable feelings we think we shouldn’t have, or by silencing our truth under the weight of doubt, fear, and anxious noise the brain uses to keep us small.

Working with me is a powerful return to the woman you were always meant to be—the one who owns her truth, leads with clarity and confidence, and feels at ease in her body, life, business, and bank account.

73.The Last Thing You Need to Do If You’re Not Leveling Up

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If you’ve been “doing all the right things” but still feel like your next level just won’t click—this episode is the missing piece.

I take you behind the scenes of what I'm currently practicing myself: identity shifting—the inner transformation that must happen before outer success can follow.

You’ll learn:

What an identity shift actually is (and why 75% of growth depends on it)

The three stages of lasting transformation: awareness, activation, and embodiment

How to create your identity declaration—a statement that lights up your body and guides every decision

Why setbacks aren’t a sign of failure but proof that your old identity is fading

How to hold the frequency of your next level—before you see it

I share my own examples of evolution, how I help clients move from stuck to unstoppable, and how to make this process feel grounded, real, and repeatable.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m doing the work—why isn’t it working yet?” this episode will show you the energetic and emotional shift that changes everything.

72. What Happens When You Think You’re the Problem

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If you have ever whispered, “Maybe I'm the problem,” this episode will change how you see yourself. I am teaching you how to use your mind to create what you want, instead of letting your mind run the show and derail your life. Our brains are malleable. Left on autopilot, they create beliefs that do not serve who you are, who you want to be, or what you want to create. When you become self aware and take the lead, results follow, and you feel calmer and more grounded even before the results arrive.

Today I bust the quiet belief that you are a problem to be fixed. I show you why shame and perfectionism show up, why they keep you stuck, and how your survival brain prioritizes familiar over growth. What you learn:

Why the survival brain creates perfectionism, avoidance, overeating, overworking, and people pleasing as protection
How shame keeps you from looking at your patterns, and how awareness opens choice and peace
The difference between fixing yourself and understanding yourself, and why that shift creates momentum

Why, when you think you are the problem shame is the driver which causes you to feel like you have to run from yourself. You will never feel better, heal, grow or follow through on your potential.

I go into detail why running towards yourself is the answer. YOU ARE THE SOLUTION.

71. Working With Your Mind (Not Against It)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever felt like something’s wrong with you because you’re overwhelmed, anxious, procrastinating, or doubting yourself — this episode will change how you see everything.

Your brain is wired for safety, not success. So when you go to change, rise, or create something new… your brain pulls the emergency brake.

In this powerful episode, I walk you through:

What’s actually happening when your brain offers you overwhelm, confusion, frustration, self-doubt, or fear
Why your brain repeats the same sabotaging loops (even after all the books, podcasts, coaching, and therapy)
How shame, procrastination, perfectionism, and avoidance are symptoms of a deeper identity your brain’s trying to protect
How to spot your personal protection pattern and disrupt it
Why loving yourself through the pattern (instead of judging it) is what actually breaks it
The real difference between working with your mind vs. working against it

You’ll walk away with language to describe your own patterns, tools to override them, and a powerful perspective shift that puts you back in charge.

This isn’t mindset fluff.

It’s how you stop being stuck and start becoming who you know you’re meant to be.

70. The Power of Leadership Energy: Becoming the Leader of Your Own Life

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Leadership isn’t just about titles, teams, or business goals, it’s about how you lead yourself every single day.

It’s the energy behind your choices, the tone you set for your life, and the presence you bring to every room you walk into.

In this episode,I explore what it really means to embody leadership energy, especially when things feel uncertain or heavy. I share how to lead from intention instead of reaction, how to recognize when you’re leaking energy in areas that need your leadership most, and how to reclaim your power to move forward with clarity, confidence, and calm.

I also talk about my mini retreat, where women are coming together to practice this work in real time — releasing the old patterns of overwhelm, perfectionism, and self-doubt FOR GOOD and stepping into the leader their life has been waiting for.

Because when you learn to lead your own life first, everything else begins to follow.

69. The Hidden Reason You’re Not Gaining Traction

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 01:00:00 -0400

You can take all the right actions—post the content, send the email, check off the to-do list—and still feel stuck, burnt out, or like nothing’s working. Why? Because how you feel when you act matters more than the actions themselves.

In this episode, I share why your energy, your beliefs, and your feelings are the foundation of every result you create, and how shifting them changes everything.

68. What Does It Mean To Have A Managed Mind?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Let’s talk about what managing your mind actually is, because it’s more than a buzzword, and it’s not just positive thinking.

This week, I’m breaking down what it really means to manage your mind vs. letting your mind run the show—and how it’s quietly affecting everything: your body image, your business, your parenting, your money, your confidence.

You’ll hear:

• Why your brain isn’t built for growth—and what to do about it

• How unmanaged thoughts lead to sabotage, perfectionism, and people-pleasing

• Real-life examples of what it sounds like when your inner child is driving

• How to pause, question, and choose thoughts that move you toward peace, power, and the version of you you're becoming

67. Why You Should Purposefully Celebrate Wins

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0400

In a world that feels especially heavy right now, this episode is your reminder to look for the light and create more of it.

I dive into the science, mindset, and emotional resistance behind celebrating your wins especially for high-achievers who are quick to discount their progress.

You'll learn:

Why your brain struggles to acknowledge success (and what to do about it)
The toxic beliefs that tell us we "shouldn't" celebrate
The difference between living in The Gap vs The Gain
3 practical ways to start celebrating on purpose (even if your brain resists)

This is more than just a pep talk it’s kind of a reset.

Because when you choose to see how far you’ve come, you unlock your capacity to go even farther.

66. Repetition, Belief, and Becoming: Choosing What You Believe

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0400

What if the thoughts in your head aren’t actually yours?

In this episode, I take you into the heart of one of the most life-changing lessons I’ve ever learned: you get to choose what you believe. From the moment my first coach told me I wasn’t a prisoner to my thoughts, everything shifted. I talk about what it means to witness your inner “roommate,” how repetition rewires your brain, and why belief is the foundation of becoming the next version of you.

You’ll hear stories about my own journey around food, my body, and business, and how choosing new beliefs didn’t just change my results, it changed who I was being in the process. We’ll also explore the concept of “death by inches” versus “growth by inches,” how to interrupt sabotaging thoughts, and how to walk with love through the discomfort of leaving behind old identities.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your beliefs are holding you back, or whether it’s really possible to change, this episode is for you.

65. The Dark Night of the Soul: Shedding the Old Me to Step Into the Next Level

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If you’re on a journey to become someone new—to level up, to shed old limiting beliefs and patterns—this is the story of what it may look like. The nuances will be different for everyone, but the process is real, and if you don’t know what to look for, it can take you down. That’s why I wanted to get this episode to you as fast as possible.

What I’m sharing is what’s known as the dark night of the soul, a concept first described by 16th-century Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross. For me, it has meant facing familiar despair, meeting my inner child with compassion instead of judgment, and learning to stay grounded through dark thoughts that felt “necessary.”

This isn’t struggle for struggle’s sake—it’s the shedding, the undoing, the proof that growth is happening. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or scared of the darkness, this episode is for you. You are not broken, you are not alone, and this season may be the very thing preparing you for the next version of you.

64. What Your Triggers Are Really Telling You

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Your triggers aren’t random outbursts or proof that something’s wrong with you. They’re deeply personal “tells” — signals from your body that you don’t feel safe. In this episode, I break down why triggers develop, how childhood experiences and past traumas shape them, and why they look different for everyone.

You’ll hear real-life examples...from my own triggers around money and body image to the ways clients have discovered their fears of being unheard, abandoned, or not good enough. Together, we’ll explore how shame, rejection, or even a loved one not texting back can set off powerful emotional reactions rooted in old stories. And most importantly, I’ll teach you how to move from reacting — the yelling, numbing, punishing, or withdrawing — into responding with awareness and calm.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to spot your triggers, reframe them as information instead of shame, process them so they lessen over time, and use them as opportunities to grow into your higher self.

63. Intrusive Thoughts, Interrupted

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0400

This is the most powerful episode of You Get to Decide yet. Intrusive thoughts are those unwelcome, painful whispers that sneak in and feel so true, they can shake your confidence, your peace, and even your body. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s recent reflection on her own intrusive thoughts, I’m breaking down what they really are, why your brain throws them at you, and—most importantly—how to stop letting them run the show.

In this episode, I share deeply personal examples, the most common intrusive thoughts we struggle with, and my 5 step process to name them, neutralize them, and redirect your energy back to what matters. You’ll walk away with tools that change how you respond to the most defeating thoughts your brain offers.

62. Your Brain Is a Courtroom: Which Side Is Winning?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If your brain were a courtroom, would your dreams or your doubts win the case?

Every day, your defense (the beliefs that support what you want—like the possibility of a loving relationship, financial freedom, or peace in your daily life) and your prosecution (the beliefs that tell you why you can’t—like “there’s not enough time,” “I’m not smart enough,” or “it’s not safe to be seen”) are making their arguments. The one with the most evidence always wins. And here’s the truth—you’re the judge.

In this episode, I share how this courtroom visual can help you:

Spot the “prosecution” thoughts that poke holes in your possibilities and keep you stuck in old patterns.
Strengthen the “defense” by building real evidence for the life you want, even when it feels far away.
Understand how your nervous system plays into this, and why safety is the key to sustaining new beliefs.
See limiting beliefs for what they are—rusty locks that can be loosened, even if they’ve been in place for decades.

I’ll also talk about how most of our thoughts are based on old wiring from our subconscious, why compassion and curiosity are the most powerful tools for change, and how shifting your focus changes your reality.

When you learn to be the neutral judge and not attaching to every thought, you can start making rulings that work in your favor and create the results you’re craving.

61. The Power Of Faith

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Faith changes everything...how we handle fear, how we move through struggles, and how we see ourselves even how we handle the little things.. In this episode, I share what faith really looks like when life feels messy, i tell a story of the power of faith, how it helps quiet chronic worry and anxiety, and why building faith in yourself and something bigger can shift your entire experience. I’ll also walk you through 3 powerful coaching questions to help you explore where faith shows up in your life (and where it’s missing) so you can start creating more peace, trust, and confidence today.

60. When You Think You’re at Your Limit: Capacity Talk

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0400

What if you’re only operating at 40% of what you’re truly capable of?

In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe we all have infinite capacity — emotionally, physically, intellectually, and operationally — and how to start accessing more of it. From powerful real-life examples like David Goggins, astronauts who turned a crisis into purpose, and everyday people who expanded what they thought was possible, I’ll help you see that you can hold far more than your brain tells you.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve reached your limit, this is your reminder: you have more in the tank than you think.

59. How Do I Want to Remember This Day?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0400

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about power.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of my most-used personal coaching tools...a single question that has helped me pull myself out of spirals, soften shame, and reconnect with the version of me I actually want to be.

How do I want to remember this day?

This question has brought me back to myself more times than I can count, from moments of self sabotage, to guilt around rest, to disconnecting from myself, or to people-pleasing at parties. I’ll walk you through how I use it, why it works, and how to make it your own.

If you’ve ever felt like you were sabotaging your goals, being too hard on yourself, or struggling to rest without guilt, this one’s for you.

58. Understanding Unproductive vs. Productive Negative Emotions

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Not all negative emotions are created equal. Some keep you stuck. Others can move you forward.

In this episode, we explore the difference between unproductive emotions like shame, resentment, and overwhelm and productive ones like courage, discipline, and vulnerability.

You’ll learn how to spot when you’re spiraling, how to shift your mindset, and what it really means to move from avoidance to action. This isn’t about forcing yourself to feel better, it’s about understanding what your emotions are trying to tell you and choosing thoughts that support the version of you you’re becoming.

If you’ve been feeling off but can’t explain why, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share a story about a conversation that led to being misunderstood—and the powerful reminder it gave me. Some of the hardest moments come when you know who you are, but someone else sees something different.

If you’ve ever been misjudged, or if you feel like you have to hide parts of yourself to avoid being misunderstood, or even just in case you could be, this one’s for you.

56. How to Rest Without Guilt (and Why It’s So Hard)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If you try to rest and just end up feeling more anxious, more guilty, or more overwhelmed… you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why resting is so hard even when you know you need it.

Because it’s not just about taking a break.

We’re getting honest about why rest feels wrong for so many of us and how it’s not laziness, it’s actually part of our survival wiring.

We’ll talk about what your nervous system really needs, how old beliefs around worth and control get in the way, and what it takes to build a new kind of trust with yourself. I will share my own story of how I transformed my idea of rest and how I show up today in productive rest.

I’m also sharing the quote that completely changed how I rest at night. Something that helped me let go, settle in, and finally sleep without shame or pressure.

This isn’t just about slowing down.

It’s literally about reclaiming your energy.

55. The Truth About The Truth

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever felt like you had to pick one truth this is your episode.

We’ve been taught to think in black and white. All or nothing. You’re either healed or you’re not. Successful or failing.

Disciplined or off track. But the truth about the truth?

Both can be true.

This episode is your permission slip to stop using your humanness against yourself and start seeing your setbacks as part of the path, not proof that you’re doing it wrong.

I’ll share personal stories, how I use this with my clients (and my daughter), and why shifting out of all-or-nothing thinking will help you bounce back faster, lead with more compassion, and actually reach your goals from a grounded place.

This one is real, personal, and freeing as hell.

54. Is It Burnout or Just the Way You’re Thinking?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Let’s talk about burnout something so many of us can relate to but that never really serves us.

In this episode, I break down what burnout actually is, where it really comes from, and how to recognize it (even when it doesn’t look like total exhaustion). Because burnout doesn’t always mean crashing on the couch. It can look like overthinking, people-pleasing, or just feeling off no matter how much you’re doing.

I talk about the actions and thoughts that quietly create burnout, what to do about it—even when your circumstances can’t change—and how it affects the way you handle setbacks.

If you’re in burnout around your weight loss journey and want to feel empowered, revitalized, and actually hopeful again—join me June 19th for my free Stop Overeating Workshop.

53. What If You Fully Believed?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0400

This episode is a wake-up call.

We’re talking about belief...the kind that changes how you show up, how you handle inconvenience, setbacks, and the day-to-day stuff that makes most people quit.

What would shift if you actually believed your goal was inevitable?

If you knew you could create any result. Whether it’s in your business, your life, or your body?

Would you keep spinning? Holding back? Starting over?

I share how this directly relates to so many things but especially weight loss—and why your relationship with belief may be the missing piece when it comes to following through, not self-sabotaging, and finally feeling peace around your goals and food.

I also share what I’ll be teaching in my upcoming Stop Overeating Workshop on June 19th, where I’ll show you how to:

Interrupt emotional eating
Recover from setbacks in minutes instead of weeks
Rewire your mindset so food doesn’t have the power anymore

And at the end I’ve got a fun surprise FOR ALL MY LISTENERS!

A GIVEAWAY!

Llsten to the end for all the details!

First come, first serve. No catch. Just something extra for the anyone who are ready to believe it is possible.

52. One Year Of Podcasting: The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 01:00:00 -0400

One full year. 52 episodes. In this anniversary episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real story, the hardest parts that tested me, the best parts that surprised me, and everything in between. The doubts. The wins. The moments no one saw. If you’ve ever tried to build something when no one’s clapping (yet), this one’s for you.

51. Mindset Shift: Find The Thoughts You Can Build On

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 28 May 2025 01:00:00 -0400

We spend a lot of time noticing what’s wrong. What’s missing. What we need to fix.

But what if we started by looking at what’s already working?

In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful activity to help you find the thoughts that are already for you, thoughts that prove you’re more ready than you think.

You don’t need to earn belief. You already have some.

Let’s find it and build from there.

50. Self-Coaching Questions: Ask These If You’re Stuck

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 21 May 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Ever feel like you’re doing all the things but still stuck in the same place?

In this episode, I’m not giving you answers — I’m talking about the kinds of questions that change everything. The ones that stop you in your tracks, shake you out of the story you’ve been telling, and call you into something deeper.

Because the right question? It pulls you out of patterns. It makes you look at where you’ve been outsourcing your power. It helps you stop waiting for permission and start owning your next move.

If you’ve been spinning, doubting, or resisting — this one’s for you.

49. Gratitude, Enoughness, and Sufficiency: The Trio That Fuels More

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 14 May 2025 01:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we’re talking about Gratitude, Enoughness, and Sufficiency—the trio that shifts you out of lack and into expansion. You’ll learn how gratitude anchors you in what’s good, enoughness reminds you of who you are, and sufficiency grounds you in what you already have. When these three work together, life feels lighter, your energy expands, and you stop chasing validation or “more” from outside sources. I’ll also share how the universe challenges us when we’re shifting beliefs—not to punish us, but to help us embody the new version of ourselves. This is how you create more without exhausting yourself.

48. Dark Thoughts, Emotional Pain, and Finding Your Way Back to You

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 07 May 2025 01:00:00 -0400

Trigger warning: This episode includes a candid discussion of dark thoughts, emotional pain, depression, and self-harm. It’s not here to overwhelm you — it’s here to remind you of your power to move through it.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own mind — overwhelmed by shame, emotional pain, teetering on the edge of depression, or living with a diagnosis — this episode is for you. I’m sharing my personal experience with the darkest thoughts, why your brain offers them, how your nervous system plays a role, and what it takes to interrupt the spiral when your mind feels loud and unsafe. No matter how far gone it feels, there is always a way back to you.

If you are struggling or need someone to talk to, you are not alone.

47. Becoming the Author of Her Story (and Her Life)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0400

In this special episode, I sit down with my coaching client turned published author to share the incredible journey behind A Father’s Memoir—her first book (now in its first edition print run!) and the beginning of a powerful series called Memoirs by Famili.

What began as a path to build accountability transformed into a journey of self-trust, clarity, creative confidence, and unstoppable productivity.

We talk about the fears she overcame, how she finally said yes to the story that had been on her heart, and what’s next as she continues to build her inspiring series. This conversation is about more than publishing—it’s about realizing what you’re truly capable of when you stop doubting, connect to your purpose, and start deciding.

Whether you're a writer, creator, or someone who’s been sitting on a dream—this episode will move you.

You can find her books at memoirsbyfamili.com or andreawillsbunce.com.

Memoirs by Famili books are a collection of "tell your story" guided journals, designed to help families deepen their relationships and better understand one another by sharing life stories.

As a special offer for listeners, when you sign up for the email list or the app waitlist, you’ll receive 10% off your entire first purchase! (A Father's Memoir makes a meaningful Father’s Day gift and will arrive just in time the week before Father's Day.)

Bonus Episode: 46. What If Your Sabotage Is Just a Safety Signal?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 17:59:00 -0400

Why do we sabotage the goals we want most—whether it’s more money, business growth, or weight loss?

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing why self-sabotage isn’t proof you’re not good enough—it’s a signal your nervous system doesn’t feel safe with the next level of success. You'll learn how resistance shows up in your body, and what it takes to move forward with compassion instead of force.

45. Why I Believe in You (and How to Believe in Yourself)

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0400

What if you didn’t need rock-solid confidence to go after what you want—just a little willingness and someone who believes in you?

In this episode, I’m talking to the part of you that wants more—but doesn’t know if you’re really capable of it. I’ll share why belief is something you build, not something you’re born with, and why so many of my clients come to me in the middle of doubt… and leave with grounded confidence.

We’ll explore:

What belief really is (and what it’s not)
How to have faith in yourself and the Universe
What to do when you don’t trust your next step yet
And how to borrow my belief until yours feels steady

If your inner critic is loud, if fear has been making decisions for you, or if you're waiting to “feel ready” before you move—this episode is your invitation to stop waiting and start believing.

Because you don’t have to do it alone. And you don’t have to believe 100% to begin.

44. Disempowerment vs. Empowerment: What Are You Creating?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0400

As human beings, we are creators by nature.

And creators are, by nature, incredibly powerful.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to live from that truth—to remember that you're always creating something, whether you're conscious of it or not. I break down the ways we create through our thoughts, emotions, choices, and energy—and the difference between creating from disempowerment versus true personal power.

We’ll explore:

How we disempower ourselves without realizing it
What shifts when we sit in our power instead
The internal and physical things we’re always creating
Four powerful questions to help you reflect and realign with the version of you who creates on purpose

If you’ve been forgetting just how powerful you are—this is your episode.

43. The Pattern Behind the Shame

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I open up about sitting in deep shame for days—not because of just one moment, but because I uncovered a pattern that’s been fueling self-sabotage in my life for years. The shame kept showing up, and instead of pushing it away this time, I turned and faced it head on.

I talk about the four ways shame tries to protect us, why our brain offers it so easily, and how we can’t actually heal from a place of shame. I share how I began to neutralize it, how this changes everything, and why you are worthy of so much more than the voice of shame would have you believe.

If you've ever felt stuck in fear, guilt, or like you're the problem—you need to hear this. You’re not broken. There’s a different way forward.

42. Two Coaches Talk Patterns, Pressure, and the Power to Heal

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 01:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I’m the one in the hot seat. I was interviewed by my current coach, Louise, for her podcast, and the conversation was too powerful not to share here. We talk about the patterns that shape so many high achievers—the invisible pressures, the belief systems we inherit or create, and the behaviors we repeat to feel safe, worthy, or in control. You’ll hear how these patterns form, why they’re so hard to see when you’re in them, and what becomes possible when you start shifting them. This is a raw, real conversation between two coaches who have both lived it, coached through it, and continue to do the work ourselves. If you’ve ever felt like no achievement is ever enough, your stuck in sabotaging patterns—or you’re ready to understand yourself in a deeper way—this one’s for you.

40. Breaking Free from Food & Body Struggles—For Good

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 01:00:00 -0400

For years, I felt stuck—trapped in a cycle of eating to cope, restricting to regain control, and then sabotaging myself all over again. I hid food, saw my body as something to fix, and felt like I would never be free.

But everything changed when I stopped believing food was the problem and started understanding my thoughts, my emotions, and how I was using food for safety.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

My personal journey—from bingeing and restriction to true freedom

The six key shifts that helped me break free from guilt, obsession, and self-sabotage around food and my weight.

How to stop feeling powerless around food and build trust with your body again.

39. Why 10% Is More Than Enough for Massive Success

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 01:00:00 -0400

What if the secret to success isn’t about reaching everyone but focusing on just the right people? In this episode, we’ll explore the idea that a small percentage of your audience holds the biggest potential for your growth. I’ll share a real-world example from a global brand that thrives without dominating its entire market—and what that means for your business.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to speak to everyone and be everywhere, this conversation will help you shift your focus and discover why less can actually lead to so much more. And if you’re ready to take that focus deeper, stay tuned until the end for a special invitation just for you.

37. Mastering The Burden Of Repetition: How Consistency Compounds

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 01:00:00 -0500

Inspired by Nick Sirianni’s powerful quote, “The burden of leadership is repetition,” this episode explores why repetition can feel heavy, how dopamine shapes what you keep doing (and what you avoid), and the hidden safety mechanisms in your subconscious that may be sabotaging your progress.

I dive into what leadership in our life looks like and the power of repetition, consistency, and your daily rituals—because what you do on repeat is either building you up or holding you back.

And I discuss if you find yourself stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you, what it looks like to go deeper—your nervous system might be working against you without you even realizing it.

Tune in to learn how to rewrite your patterns and take true leadership of your life.

36. Inner Child Work: Healing the Past, Transforming Your Present And Future

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 01:00:00 -0500

In this episode, I’m sharing my own non-linear journey of turning toward my inner child, what happened when I finally faced her, and the transformation that followed.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—some type of self-sabotage, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or "buffering" like over drinking or emotional eating—your inner child might be the one running the show. I talk about how unhealed wounds show up in sneaky ways, why this work is so important, and what it actually looks like to start developing a relationship with your inner child.

Healing isn’t a straight path—especially when it comes to inner child work.

If you feel shame or embarrassment toward your past self, I’ve got you. You’ll learn how to shift your perspective so you can finally heal, reconnect, and step into who you’re meant to be.

This one’s deep, powerful, and—like all healing work—absolutely worth it.

35. Front Pocket vs. Back Pocket: How to Get the Right Support at the Right Time

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 01:00:00 -0500

Ever felt let down by the people in your life who should be more supportive? You’re not alone, and I want to help you see things a bit differently.

In this episode, I’m breaking down a concept I use all the time: front pocket vs. back pocket people.

Your front-pocket people—family, friends, maybe even your partner—are there to love you no matter what. But sometimes, their love and support don’t sound the way you want them to, especially on the tough days.

Back-pocket people? They’re the ones in the trenches with you—pushing you, calling you out, and holding you to your vision. I’ll walk you through how to categorize your people, let go of expectations, and—figure out who you actually need in your back pocket.

Plus, I’ll share how I use this in my own life so you can start applying it to yours.

34. What’s Hiding Behind Our Urges?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 01:00:00 -0500

Ever find yourself doing something you swore you wouldn’t—whether it’s reaching for food, that glass of wine, scrolling for hours, or avoiding the thing you know would actually help? Same. This week, I found myself turning to food. Not because I was hungry, but because I didn’t like a result in my life. My brain decided I wasn’t safe, and food felt like the answer.

Urges aren’t random. They’re signals. They show up when our brain thinks we aren’t safe, when something in life feels off, and when we’re trying to escape discomfort. The question isn’t “Why do I keep doing this?”—it’s “What am I actually needing right now?”

In this episode, we’re getting into:

What’s really hiding behind your urges

How your brain tricks you into thinking relief is in the habit, not the root cause

Why food (or anything else) can feel like safety

What to do in the moment instead of giving in

How to break the cycle without white-knuckling through it

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with yourself for going back to old patterns, this episode is for you.

Let’s get curious instead of critical. This episode was exactly what I needed too.

Listen as I share three powerful questions to help you stop spinning your wheels and start focusing on your future and possibilities.

6. Taking Authority Over Your Decisions

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

In this empowering episode I dive into the crucial topic of having authority over your own decisions.

5. When Is The Perfect Day To Start?

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 04:00:00 -0400

If you are waiting for the perfect day to make the changes you want to make then this one is for you!

In this episode I talk about the lie we tell ourselves that "The perfect day will come to..." but I explain how that is just our brains trying to delay our desires.

I poke holes in the belief that there is a perfect day.

I also talk about the idea of our past, present, and future self and how to use that to your advantage to get started and keep going,

I speak about procrastination and tools to help you move forward and the quote by Les Brown "The graveyard is the richest place on earth because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream."

4. Making Positive Change Doesn't Always Feel Good

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 04:00:00 -0400

Are you waiting to feel good before taking your next steps? You may be waiting a long time!

In this episode, I talk about the biggest changes I made in my life, how they actually felt, and why it wasn't what you may think. We often assume that moving in the direction of our dreams will feel good, but that isn't usually the case and it doesn't mean you should quit. In fact, the discomfort usually means you are on the right road!

Join me as I share personal stories of transformation, the unexpected emotions that come with taking big risks, and how to navigate through the uncertainty and fear. If you're looking for inspiration to make a change and need a reminder that it's okay to feel uncomfortable, this episode is for you. Embrace the journey and discover the strength within to become someone new.

Tune in and get ready to take that leap, even when it doesn't feel good!

1. Why "You Get to Decide"

Allison Caracciolo Gallagher — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

In the first episode I discuss why I named the podcast "You get to decide" and I give some knowledge of why that is the case. Most people do not stop and realize just how much power they have over their own life. I will discuss how you are not your thoughts so when you start to just observe them and question them you hold the power to realize you actually get to decide what you want to think, do, and attain.

P.S. Which is anything you want!
