Happy winter solstice! This is probably one of my favorite days of the year, it's the shortest day of the year if you're in the northern hemisphere, and it's the longest night of the year. I love this day because there are so many beautiful moments of reflection. And as we're leaning into the new year, it's a great moment to pause and reflect.In this episode, I share some key insights and reflections as we look at dark moments and explore the light we want to call into our lives. I also share 3 journal prompts that may help you examine the themes of darkness and light.

It's December 2023 and I want to shift our focus from the conventional hustle to finishing the year aligned with our values. Through this episode, I'll share my journey of navigating through times when I felt completely out of alignment, and the profound impact this had on my overall well-being.
We often chase goals and milestones, thinking that's what success looks like. But what if the real success lies in harmony with our values?
In this episode, I talk about the importance of recognizing when something doesn't feel right and how making conscious choices to prioritize alignment can drastically reduce stress, enhance our relationships, and lead to better decision-making.
One of the most moving moments of my life was at a retreat where I had the opportunity to identify my core values. This experience brought me to tears, as I realized these values were not something I'd previously given much importance to. Yet, they were the keys to unlocking a more authentic, fulfilling way of thinking, behaving, and being.

Over the past five weeks, my commitment to practicing yoga at least five days a week has not only sculpted my body but has also profoundly reshaped my soul.
The physical benefits, including weight loss and increased strength, have been evident. However, it's the emotional and spiritual renewal that has left an indelible mark on my life. Navigating through a tumultuous period, yoga has become my sanctuary, teaching me to find solace in discomfort. Whether I am contorting into a challenging pose or confronting the ebbs and flows of life, this practice has transformed me into a more grounded, resilient individual, less swayed by external chaos.
As I delve deeper into self-awareness, I've come to a profound realization - I am not broken. I am in a continuous state of healing. Recognizing and acknowledging the areas that need mending has been liberating. The strength I've cultivated—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—through yoga has given me the courage to sit with my most trying emotions without feeling inundated.
Opening up further, I share a recent discovery: my battle with high-functioning depression. A cloud that loomed over me for two years, making me feel detached from my essence. Yet, yoga has been that beacon, guiding me toward confronting my discomforts and seizing opportunities for growth and healing.
When faced with moments of unease, breathe through it. Trust in the process.

Remember, it's not about doing more; it's about doing what truly matters.

In the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced lives, it's all too common for women to find themselves continually neglecting their own needs and well-being, often at the expense of their physical and mental health. The constant juggling of responsibilities, paired with societal pressures and self-imposed guilt, has led many to put themselves last on their ever-expanding to-do lists.
As a Wellness Coach, I am passionate about shedding light on the detrimental effects of neglecting oneself and providing actionable steps to break free from this cycle of self-sacrifice.
Here are the key takeaways from this episode:
- Neglect can manifest in various ways, even small actions like not taking breaks to address personal needs.
- Neglect can lead to difficulty focusing, irritability, and despair.
- Neglect often stems from internal narratives and childhood trauma.
- Changing beliefs and rewriting narratives are essential in breaking the habit of self-neglect.
- Prioritizing self-care practices and setting boundaries are crucial in overcoming neglect.

Are you choosing your vision and the life that you want or the goal that you want, or the experience that you desire? OR are you gonna choose to listen to the story that's telling you that you don't deserve it and that you can't have it, and that it's not available to you for whatever reason? You have a choice. If you wanna change, you have to change your story.
In this bonus episode, I share an IG Live replay that focuses on the importance of changing the stories that are holding you back.
Here are the key takeaways:
1. Identifying Stagnation Patterns: The three common ways people become stuck in life – self-neglect, self-sacrifice, and self-sabotage. Recognizing these patterns is crucial for breaking free and pursuing our true desires.
2. Power of Stories and Beliefs: Our personal stories and beliefs shape our behavior and success. Sharing their own experience, they highlight the transformative impact of rewriting a story to align with ease and flow, fostering greater fulfillment and impact.
3. Mindset's Role in Action: A shift in mindset is portrayed as a catalyst for action and goal achievement. By challenging negative beliefs, upgrading stories, and embracing a positive perspective, listeners are empowered to take charge of their narratives and pursue personal growth and success.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about something we all struggle with - self-love and self-care. It can be tough, even when we know what we should be doing. But here's the thing: it's crucial that we give ourselves permission to accept where we are in our journey. We need to get curious about why we feel the way we do. The practice of self-love, compassion, and care starts with actively tending to our needs.
We must check in with ourselves, listen to what we truly need, and then have the courage to act on it, even if it feels uncomfortable or goes against popular opinion. It's about having our own backs and showing up for ourselves every single day. Remember, you deserve love and care, so don't hesitate to give yourself what you need.
Here are 3 practices that you can start to incorporate into your day to lean into feeling and embodying more self care, love, and compassion:
- Set intentions every morning and align behaviors throughout the day accordingly.
- Engage in mirror work, focusing on self-love and speaking words of affirmation.
- Engage in activities that bring feelings of love, support, vitality, fulfillment, and happiness without fixating on specific goals or milestones.
Give these practices a try and feel free to connect with me for further exploration of your own self-care and compassion needs.

In today's episode, I delve into a topic that's close to the hearts of many successful women out there - self-care. As high achievers, we often struggle to prioritize our own well-being amidst our demanding roles, responsibilities, and relationships. But here's the key: self-care is not a time management issue; it's a priority management one. In this episode, I guide you through the art of incorporating self-care into your busy schedule by creating micro-moments throughout the day.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Micro-moments of self-care can help us experience the benefits of self-care even when we're busy.
- Savoring the first three sips of a morning beverage is a simple micro-moment of self-care that can help us slow down and connect with our senses.
- Taking three deep breaths before getting out of the shower is another easy micro-moment of self-care.
- Putting the fork down between bites of food can help us appreciate our food more and support our digestive process.
- The goal of self-care isn't to add more stress but to create practices that are beneficial for us.
- Micro moments of self-care can be simple and accessible, and they can add up over time.

Do you intentionally put yourself on your To Do List? If not, chances are that you are neglecting your needs. I've seen many women struggle with making time for themselves because they fail to create the necessary conditions for it to happen.
That's why I suggest intentionally creating space in your day, every day, to tend to your own needs. By consistently dedicating time to yourself, you build a sense of safety around asking yourself what you need and then proactively tending to those needs, rather than waiting until you're burnt out or sick to react.

Recently, I was on a call with a group of women to plan an upcoming retreat that we will be co-hosting in St. Lucia in October. We got on the topic of Self Care and one woman brought up the need for "Soul Care" and my ears perked up!
What hit me was that Soul Care is really about nourishing our nervous system in order to create the conditions to be more grounded and have more balance, ease, and peace in our lives.
There is nothing wrong with traditional self-care practices, but in this episode, I encourage you to also include more Soul Care into your daily routine and I provide a few examples.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Understand the difference between Self Care & Soul Care
- Create space to check in with yourself often to get clarity on what you truly need
- The Nourished Life Pillars, which I go into detail in my Stress Free Success Guide include prioritizing stillness, movement, nourishment, nature, self, and mindset development.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a great time to focus on self-care practices, however, I recognize that many women face real challenges in accessing the resources and support needed to prioritize their mental health. For some, it is having unrealistic expectations at work, while others have a lack of support from loved ones in their personal lives and some do not have the financial security to take time off from work to honor their mental health.
In this episode, I share some examples from my own experience and from women that I’ve worked with to highlight the challenges and offer some solutions that may be available to women who are struggling with prioritizing their self-care needs when they don’t have the support they need from loved ones and at work.
Here are the key takeaways:
- In our personal lives, it can be challenging to prioritize self-care due to a lack of support from loved ones when it comes to helping with household chores, and tasks, and taking care of others.
- In our professional lives, it can be challenging to prioritize self-care due to unrealistic expectations, inflexible schedules, and a lack of mental health resources available.
- Setting boundaries and having uncomfortable conversations may need to happen in order to protect your peace and create space for you to tend to your mental health.
- Expectations from others and policies at work should be considerate of the current state of stress, overwhelm, and burnout that many women are faced with and offer more support, grace, flexibility, and resources.
- If you are in the position to help a woman who needs support - pick up her kids after school so she can go to therapy without stressing out or talking to HR to offer mental health resources or even pay to have someone clean your friend’s home or deliver some groceries - it could make a big difference.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and this episode is more like a candid conversation about to reduce the stigma around mental illness. I’ve had my own journey with my mental health and it has been paved with a lot of courage, vulnerability and acceptance. Not only do I share key statistics, but I also share a bit of my story, along with some ways that we can all collectively break the stigma around mental illness. Ultimately, reducing the stigma around mental illness is a collective effort from individuals, communities, and the world at large.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Mental health is just as important as physical health.
- The stigma around mental health and mental illness needs to be addressed before strategies can be discussed.
- One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives.
- 48% of respondents in the United States feel embarrassed to admit they need help with their mental health.
- It's important to encourage open conversations, educate oneself and others, use inclusive language, support mental health initiatives, and seek help and support.
- Reducing the stigma around mental health requires a collective effort from individuals, communities, and the world at large.
Here are 5 ways that you can help break the stigma around mental illness:
- Encourage open conversations and create safe spaces for discussion around mental health.
- Educate yourself and others about mental health by reading books or articles, attending workshops or podcasts, and changing myths and conceptions surrounding mental health
- Use inclusive language to shape attitudes around mental health.
- Support mental health initiatives by contributing financially, using your platform, donating your time or services or products, or attending workshops and classes.
- Seek help and support for your own mental health by checking in with yourself and seeing how you're feeling and what you need.

This one is for busy professional women who pour so much into their careers and into other people, but neglect to pour back into themselves.
Studies show that neglecting self-care can lead to challenges in one's physical health, mental health, relationships, mood, productivity, satisfaction in life, and success. Many women report not having enough time for self-care or feeling guilty when they do take time off.

EDA Framework - What tasks can I Eliminate, Delegate, or Automate?
Eliminate:
- Excessive social media browsing: Limit the amount of time spent scrolling through social media feeds or consider taking a break from social media altogether.
- Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time instead of trying to do several things simultaneously, which can lead to inefficiency and stress.
- Non-essential meetings: Decline invitations to meetings that are not necessary or not directly related to your work responsibilities.
- Unnecessary email: Reduce the time spent on email by unsubscribing from newsletters and marketing emails that are not useful or relevant.
- Unproductive commuting: Use commuting time effectively by listening to audiobooks, podcasts or taking advantage of public transportation to read or plan your day.
Delegate:
- Administrative work: Hire an administrative assistant or outsource administrative tasks such as data entry, scheduling, and email management.

- Childcare: Hire a nanny, babysitter, or enroll children in childcare to take care of childcare responsibilities while you focus on work or self-care.
- Errands: Hire a personal assistant or use on-demand services such as TaskRabbit to delegate errands such as picking up dry cleaning, grocery shopping, or running other errands.
- Social media management: Hire a social media manager or outsource social media tasks such as content creation, scheduling, and engagement.
Automate:
- Email management: Use tools such as filters, rules, and templates to automatically sort and respond to emails, reducing the time spent on email management
- Appointment scheduling: Use scheduling tools such as Calendly or Doodle to automate appointment scheduling and eliminate the back-and-forth communication involved in scheduling meetings.
- Personal shopping: Use online shopping services such as Amazon Subscribe & Save or Walmart Grocery Pickup to automate the process of purchasing and receiving groceries, household supplies, and other items, reducing the time spent on shopping and errands.

Making time in your day to put joy first can be a game-changer! I've had many conversations with people who prioritize work and responsibilities over their own joy and happiness and this can lead to burnout and stress.
Prioritizing joy has been shown to reduce cortisol levels (the hormone associated with stress), boost immunity, enhance productivity and creativity, and improve overall well-being.
In this episode, I share why and how I started to prioritize joy in my life, plus I share some tips to help you make a case for creating more space in your life for joy.
If you are struggling to prioritize joy in your life, ask yourself these 3 questions to get some clarity on how to incorporate more joy into your life:
- What hobbies have I neglected due to my busy schedule that brings me joy?
- Who are people who bring joy into my life that I haven't seen or spoken to in a while?
- Where are places that bring me joy that I haven't been to in a long time?
Based on these questions, you should have a clear idea of things to do, people to spend time with, and places to go that will spark more joy in your life.

Last weekend, I had a meltdown because I realized she was neglecting my relationship with myself. I went on a drive to the beach and sat on a log watching the ocean and birds while reflecting on how important it is to pour into ourselves every day. While it may seem like we don't have the time or we convince ourselves that we will find time later, the truth of the matter is...if we don't make the time, we are sabotaging ourselves.
The best way to prioritize your relationship with yourself is to schedule solo time in your calendar as you would any other appointment or meeting because what we prioritize we make an effort to do.
Here are three steps to start nourishing your relationship with yourself:
- Look at your calendar and schedule solo time for yourself to do something that brings you joy and makes you feel good and resourced.
- Create a self-love bucket list of things to do.
- Be bold and prioritize your relationship with yourself, even if it means setting boundaries and potentially upsetting others.
Let me know how it goes and how you lean into your relationship!

When we tend to prioritize everything else before our own physical and mental health, we put ourselves on the fast track to burnout and other health issues.
In this episode, I share three things that sabotage our wellbeing.
- Prioritizing everyone else is sabotaging your physical and mental health
- Sleep is important for productivity and avoiding burnout
- Skipping regular checkups with doctors can lead to missing early signs of serious health issues
- Saying yes to everything leads to neglecting your health and wellness
- It's time to start saying no to things that don't serve you
- Make simple shifts in your behaviors and beliefs to prioritize your health and well-being
I hope that after you listen to this episode, you will make some simple shifts to prioritize your health and happiness.

In this episode, I share a very raw clip of a conversation that I had with a friend who asked me to summarize the conversation we were having about success, love, loss, and happiness.
Here are some gems that I share:
- We accept things in our lives based on what we believe we deserve.
- If you don't feel deserving of what you truly want...you will never get it.
- We have to be honest with ourselves in order to get what we truly want.
- You are not broken, you just have a block that is getting in the way.
- If you keep running up against a wall, it may not be about your ability to do it, it may be your beliefs that are sabotaging you.
As a wellness coach, I help my clients get clear on what they want and then align their beliefs to support their goals. Establishing this foundation is key in helping to develop new habits that will lead to a lifestyle where they are healthier, happier, and more successful.

In this episode, I share how success can come at a cost to your physical and mental health. I've learned that it is important to redefine your definition of success and focus on what you truly desire, rather than trying to have it all. I share my process of how I work with my clients to achieve greater success in their lives without sacrificing their health and happiness.
- What got you to your current level of success is not necessarily what will keep you there.
- Shift your focus from "Having it all" to having a life that you truly desire and truly nourishes you.
- Redefine your definition of success by identify what you really want and why you really want it
- Focus on being the best version of yourself instead of the perfect version of yourself

In this episode of I Buy Myself Flowers, Allison Tibbs discusses how our beliefs dictate our behaviors and how those behaviors can either positively or negatively affect our physical and mental health.
She believes that it is important to be aware of the beliefs we are holding onto in order to create healthier habits and lifestyles.
As an example, she shares her own belief about taking care of herself first thing in the morning is important to give the best version of herself to others.
On the flip side, she also talks about how her past belief that she didn’t matter led her down a path of unhealthy habits that impacted her health.
Allison emphasizes the importance of understanding our values as they often determine what beliefs we have and ultimately shape our behavior.
She also announced her four week Nourished Life Blueprint coaching program, which will kick off in April and provide weekly Zoom calls, videos with topics, worksheets, and a private WhatsApp group.

I also encourage you to take a moment to visualize what your life would look like if you had healthy boundaries in place and then think about who or what is getting in the way of achieving that vision that you have for yourself and your life.
Take the first step to improve your relationship with yourself and towards a happier, healthier you!

Your morning routine can be the most powerful thing that you can do for yourself each and every day, especially, if you are a person who has a jam-packed schedule and rarely has time to prioritize your own needs during the day.
The only catch is...that it may require you to wake up a bit earlier (aka go to bed earlier) so you can wake up and carve out solo time for yourself before you tend to the needs of everyone else.
Here are 3 questions I would encourage you to ask yourself and think about...
- What does your morning routine look like?
- In what ways can you improve your morning routine?
- What is supporting you each morning?
After you answer these questions, do what you need to do to set yourself up for success in the mornings! I'd love to hear what your morning routine looks like! Send me a DM on IG - instagram.com/AllisonTibbs or send me an email at hello@allisontibbs.com.

So often, we focus so much on our relationships with others, that we forget to put that same energy into the relationship that we have with ourselves. We are often putting ourselves, our needs, our desires, and everything else on the back burner. It is like we give the very best to everyone else and we simply settle for crumbs.
This way of living is not only harmful to your self esteem, self worth and mental health, but it is indicative of your belief system. A deep rooted belief that you are not deserving or worthy of the same love that you give to others.
And the reality is, this is not a quick fix. I won't even try to give you a list of things to do to instantly improve your relationship with yourself. However, I will give you a list of questions to ask yourself to help you get more clarity on how you can start the process with care.
- How often to do you carve out intentional time to nurture your relationship with yourself?
- If you could change anything about how you treat yourself, what would that be?
- What prevents you from taking time to care for and nurture yourself?
- Growing up, who provided you positive examples of how to love and nurture yourself?
- Who inspires you now to love and nurture yourself?

This one is for my perfectionists...
Giving yourself permission to be imperfect is one way to support your mental health and emotional health. Leaning into vulnerability and putting yourself out there without the expectation of being perfect can feel a bit scary, but it can open you up to stepping into a life that feels more authentic, joyful, and nourishing.
I share 3 things that helped me embrace imperfection. Hopefully, it will be helpful for you. I'd love to hear how you are embracing imperfection this year!
Incorporating self-love practices into your daily routine sounds like a great idea, but can also be pretty challenging because of your busy schedule or having to tend to everyone else's needs.
You may even struggle to figure out what exactly can you do to practice self-love in a way that actually works for you. (Instead of listening to the cheesy examples found on Pinterest boards or articles online.)
Self Love can feel a bit cringe...but there is a better way to make it feel more aligned and sustainable. Over the past few years, I've incorporated a practice to ask myself 3 questions to identify ways to love myself and give myself the care and attention I need.
- How do I like to show love to others?
- How do I like to receive love from others?
- What areas of my life need more love and attention from me?
Here is a video where I go more in-depth on the questions and how you can use them for your own self-love journey.
January is typically a time to focus on new beginnings, new hopes, and new goals for the new year. It is a time to reflect on the previous year and look at the lessons learned. So often, we look at the lessons learned from what went wrong and that can be helpful, but I also encourage you to look at the lessons learned from your big wins!
In today's episode, I wanted to share 3 lessons that I learned and plan to bring into 2023.
I Buy Myself Flowers is a podcast designed to create space to celebrate, care for, and love ourselves...unapologetically.

Welcome to I Buy Myself Flowers! I am Allison Tibbs, a healthy lifestyle coach and mental health advocate, who is ready to get real when it comes "Self-Love" and "Self-Care". For the longest, I've wanted to create a podcast to share my story and lessons learned along my journey of self-care, self-love, and mental health...BUT...I let my insecurities, fears, and limiting beliefs get in the way, so I never did anything about it.
Well that stops this year in 2023...this podcast is an act of defiance to put my fears, doubts, and insecurities in their place...all the way in the back!
My hope for this podcast is to share with you strategies, resources, and other ways to support you on your own journey through meaningful conversations and discussions. I found my greatest breakthroughs and support through conversations with my best friends, my partner, and my family and I want this to feel like you are pulling up a chair to those conversations with me.
Through vulnerability, curiosity, and empathy, we will dive deep and I am terrified and excited...so let's do this...together!
