The 'wyrd' poem brought tears to my eyes!!! I had no idea that this word actually meant fate!!! It's amazing because of how empaths and creative sensitive souls are often misunderstood at a young age and called weird but not in a good way. It wasn't until my later years that I embraced my own 'weirdness' for being a believer in spirits, spirituality, destiny, and the law of attraction that I became fully authentic and comfortable in my own light. A lot of shadow work, a lot of inner child work. It will likely be lifelong work but still. Thank you for sharing your presence and such amazing pieces of poetry!

[@magelagrass]

when she started to read that poem, this girl was covered in chills! THE ENERGY!

[@Truthseekingdivinefemale]

Wisdom way beyond your 25 years. Such a beautiful authentic Soul. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into you and your world ❤️

[@C.C.369]

"whatever distraction you reach for that's what's keeping you from reclaiming your power" damn that's so on point ❤️👍 I felt the feeling but hadn't found the words for it yet so thanks 😁🙏

[@evelyncikas]

Wow!!! This was one of those conversations!!! Powerful, mind-blowing, inspirational and else!!! Genuinely, THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU!!! 🥰 Those Allie's poems that she read, sooo sooo powerful!!! 🥰 I felt such a deep inspiration that I stopped the video for a moment and went to write the poem that came through me. Such flowing energy, huh?! Reaching those who've been listening to this conversation! 🌪🤩🙏 P.S. I've already added this video to "watch again"! 🥰

[@nataliesummerhays1294]

What a beautiful girl! You are both amazing people. I listen to a lot of a Eckhart Tolle, Gabrielle Bernstein, Wayne Dyer. It is nice to listen to someone maybe not so famous but just as amazing!

Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@YoutuberJeremy]

That poem was beautiful … I actually literally stopped what I was doing in awe and it hit me on a deep emotional level about not holding her to her past person and loving them for who they are expanding towards and who they are transforming into instead of holding on to who they once where …😢❤

[@thecuriousonepodcast]

Wow, what an amazing conversation. I've been following Allie's journey since I was 16 years old, it's fascinating to see her story unfold.

[@yoli_zee8]

Love her! ❤ great episode!!

[@lunarseas6144]

I really enjoyed this and got very drawn in. Actually the excerpt in the introduction clip spoke to my core. When I heard it again in context of the full conversation, I got chills. It is so true that the best art just happens when you are in flow. Small unintended changes can be genius ... and necessitate emphasis. I immediately felt completely in sync with the conversation. I relate fully to it all. I hope to rewatch it so I can mine the remaining gold that I may have missed -- I had to crunch watching this in with my drawing time. Thank you! And please keep up the magnificent work! Both of you!

[@sherrilawrence662]

Really impressed and inspired to hear this wisdom and vulnerability from the young generation. Gives me hope for the future ♥️🙏 wish I learned these insights before I was old lol

[@kirstyreynolds1170]

It's nice to hear this, I kept kicking myself for not being able to just "write a poem" when I want to and it only coming to me when I was purging an emotion and might be driving or busy and I would frantically start writing something down. But I guess that's just how it is 😅

[@sacredroyalty9957]

Absolutely touching poem …

[@ginap.7431]

Deeply nourishing for sure🥰 Thank you both so much🌹

Thanks for listening! 🙏🏽

[@karie_brown]

Love this conversation, much success to you both ❤️

[@kaitiehendrickson8710]

Needed to discover this soul sister so bad. You asked such amazing questions and the answers were tear inducing and heart breaking open powerful. It reached me so deeply, I really found a new woman I admire for the reasons that simultaneously help to heal the parts of me so neglected and wounded and buried that block me from being my healthiest best self as I too am a super sensitive person, a sincere soul an artist a poet and allergic to small talk kind of person too haha... classic pisces moon ;) but I have been putting myself in the box you were saying and the smile turns to a frown and its crazy that it happens even to the wild lovers of everything ... including the box and frown dilemma! Haha... thinking out of the box is where such a truth lives and where my truth lives. But I've shapeshifted right into a cubicle of the matrix and it's crazy because its almost like I cant even remember to "think out of the box" which is the exit door. Even though I AM out of it already. What a conundrum. Listening to this brought me back to the full circle home that frees me. Frees thee. So thank you again! I know theres a how do you fit a square inside a circle joke somewhere in there :p

Wow, thanks for sharing this! So happy to hear that this episode resonated with you!
