Allyson has such a special way of reminding us of who we are by teaching us how to effectively communicate， draw boundaries， and live the life we are meant to live from a place of genuine care and love。 I am so grateful for these beautiful words and insights I go back to so frequently。 It’s as if I have an emotional map leading me to my very own treasure—me。” —Chrissy Metz， author of This is Me: Loving the Person You Are Today “Allyson has a way with words， where what she says gets straight to the deepest truth。 Reading her notes helps me feel closer to myself， and I am surely not alone in that feeling。 Now， especially， we can all use a dose of her wisdom。” —Pooja Lakshmin， MD， clinical assistant professor of psychiatry， George Washington University School of Medicine
