Chapter 7: How does Allie address perfectionism and authenticity?
Just living my life as I'm young.
Did you feel like a burnout and you wanted to just get away for a bit?
I think I had a lot of self-discovering to do before I kind of came back. I was kind of recycling the same kind of content, same advice, and I wanted to go live a little bit more. One of my biggest critiques is that I haven't had enough life experience, and so I wanted to make sure that I... Got it in with the life experience so that I had more to talk about.
I can relate to that because when I started the show, it was just about marketing and business. And after like 100 episodes of that, you kind of just hear the same story over and over.
Chapter 8: What is Allie's message about emotional support in relationships?
Yeah.
So I started branching off.
Yeah. Finding new experiences, new stories and kind of being able to like. And my whole thing is just kind of living and experiencing life and being self-aware and trying to figure out like my faults and things and also what I need to improve on. And a lot of that is like recognizing the parts of myself that I don't like.
And so it was just a lot of doing that and kind of growing up in front of millions of people is never easy. And especially talking so intimately about my life, I've learned a lot and. have kind of had to adjust. Yeah.
You were really vulnerable. You shared your darkest stuff, you know, six million followers. You know, you were very open with everyone. I feel like there's a give and a take with that, right?
Yeah. Yeah. So I've learned a lot because I used to be super open to the point where everyone knew everything about me. And there was a couple of things that happened. My house got broken into. Well, a guy tried to break into my house last year. And so it's just I don't know. And living in Vegas is so different than where I grew up in Utah because it was just like nothing bad happens in Utah.
So it was a big culture shock. And I moved out of state. I moved away from my family and I wanted to go explore the world. So I've done like Europe and I've just been focusing on like living.
nice yeah it's it's a dark truth but if you have a follower count you're a target for these robberies you know yeah they'll see if you're on vacation and pull up to your house yeah and a lot of it is like i i don't know if you get this a lot but like the dynamic between social media and just like people because they have a relationship with you but you have no relationship with them parasocial i think they call yeah yeah so i'm like i've had a lot of experiences with that where i'm like
I had a guy come up and grab me in a bar one time and I was like, and he was just trying to be nice where it's like, Oh, I came up and gave you a hug. You're cool. Whatever. Like, but I was like, you're some dude grabbing me in a bar. So like, I've had a lot of kind of interactions like that where I just had to, you know, separate myself and not give so many personal details anymore.
