The Purpose Show

Apparently, turning 39 has me looking back at my younger self and questioning just about everything. We're back with Part 2 of Things I Used to Believe That Make Me Cringe Now, and this time we're getting into some of the expectations I used to have about what it means to be a good woman, a good person, and a grown-ass adult. Like the idea that women are supposed to start dressing differently once they reach a certain age. Who decided that?! And why are we still listening? Or that being authentic means sharing absolutely everything about your life, especially when you're someone who has built a career being open with people. And then there's the belief that the more you give, the better person you are. Your time, your money, your energy, your knowledge. At what point did generosity become something we're supposed to prove through self-sacrifice? I'm talking about how my perspective on all three has changed, what I've learned about boundaries and valuing myself, and why I no longer feel the need to live according to rules I didn't consciously choose. This episode is a little lighter than Part 1, but there are some things in here I think a LOT of women need to hear. Let's get into it.

WHAT were we doing?! When I started The Purpose Show, I was a Christian mom raising four little kids, and I had some very strong opinions about what it meant to be a good woman, a good mother, and a good wife. Well. A LOT has changed. In Part 1 of this conversation, we're getting into two of the biggest beliefs I've completely changed my mind about: Christianity being the right way to live and raise children, and the idea that marriage should last forever because divorce means failure. We're talking purity culture, religious shame, raising children to obey instead of question, the expectations placed on women in marriage, and why I think we've gotten the definition of a successful marriage completely wrong. I'm also sharing what ending my marriage actually made possible for our family, because divorce doesn't always look the way people assume it does. And honestly? I think there's something really important about being willing to change your mind, especially when you've spent years sharing your beliefs publicly. Some people will see that growth and think it's sad. Others will be like, FUCK YES. And that's okay. This isn't about telling you what to believe. It's about questioning the things we've accepted as truth without ever really examining them. Let's get into it. Free class: Changing your mind about what you believe is one thing. Changing the patterns you live out every day is another.

Save your seat here → In this episode: Why I no longer believe Christianity is the right way to raise my children. Purity culture, obedience, shame, and what those messages teach girls about themselves. Why I think questioning what you've been taught is so important. The problem with measuring a marriage's success by how long it lasts. The history of women's limited options for leaving marriages. Why divorce isn't automatically a failure. What ending my marriage actually made possible for our family.

Free class: If you've started over with your body more times than you can count, come to my free live class, Stop Starting Over: The 5 Steps to Becoming the Woman Who Follows Through. Save your seat here → I lost 95 pounds in my 30s while dealing with PCOS, depression, hormonal issues, and one of the hardest seasons of my life. And I did it without becoming a fitness-obsessed, clean-eating person who never touches french fries. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I lost the weight. Not the polished, oversimplified version. The actual changes I made, what worked, what didn't, and how I completely changed my relationship with food and my body along the way. We're talking about the small food swaps that made a surprisingly big difference, how I stopped relying on emotional eating, what I changed about drinking alcohol, my experience trying a GLP-1 medication, and why I still don't particularly enjoy working out. I'm also sharing how I used subconscious rewiring, hypnosis, and identity work to start changing the patterns that had kept me stuck for years. Including a really weird little experiment involving tea that genuinely changed how I saw myself. And we're getting into something I feel strongly about: you can love and accept your body while still wanting to change it. Taking responsibility for your habits doesn't mean everything is your fault. If you've been struggling to lose weight, dealing with PCOS or hormonal challenges, or constantly starting over with healthy habits, I hope my story helps you see that sustainable change doesn't have to mean completely overhauling your life. And if you have questions about my weight-loss journey after listening, send me a DM on Instagram. I'd love to put together a follow-up Q&A episode!

You know what you're supposed to be doing. You've read the books. You've tried the diets, the supplements, the routines, the mindset work. You know you need more sleep, less stress, and probably a little more time taking care of yourself. So why do you keep ending up right back where you started? Free class: If that's you, come to my free live class, Stop Starting Over. Save your seat here → In this episode of The Purpose Show, Allie sits down with emotional eating, digestive, and hormone expert Amber Romaniuk for a conversation about what's actually happening underneath the patterns so many women blame themselves for. Because sometimes, the problem isn't that you don't know enough. It's that you've spent so much time trying to fix your body that you've forgotten how to actually listen to her. You'll hear: • Why doing all the "right" things doesn't always address the patterns behind emotional eating and burnout • How stress, emotional triggers, and learned behaviors can influence your relationship with food • Why high-achieving women often struggle to slow down and recognize what their bodies need • How childhood experiences can shape automatic eating habits you don't even realize you have • Why emotional eating isn't always about sadness, boredom, or stress • What it actually looks like to practice mindful eating when you're used to multitasking through every meal • How being the woman who handles everything can lead to ignoring your own needs • Why rebuilding body trust starts with awareness, compassion, and learning to pause • How to begin shifting from frustration with your body to a more supportive relationship with yourself This conversation is about so much more than food. It's about the relationship you've built with your body. The patterns you've learned. The pressure you've normalized. And the possibility of doing things differently. Because knowing what your body needs and actually responding to those needs are two very different things. And that's exactly where the deeper work begins. 🎧 CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION Part 2 of this conversation airs October 21 on Amber's podcast, The No Sugarcoating Podcast. Allie goes deeper into subconscious programming, identity, and why knowing better doesn't automatically mean doing better. ✨ JOIN MY FREE LIVE CLASS Stop Starting Over: The 5 Steps to Becoming the Woman Who Follows Through If you know what your body needs and still keep ending up right back where you started, this class is for you. 👉 Save your seat: https://alliecasazza.com/stopstartingover  

What if you didn't have to wait until you felt motivated to actually do the thing? Because here's the truth. Motivation isn't magic. And it's not something you have to sit around waiting for. In this episode, Allie guides you through a short, powerful activation designed to help you shift your state, reconnect with the feeling of following through, and take action without waiting for the perfect moment. Through intentional breathing, visualization, and a simple physical anchoring exercise, you'll practice accessing the confidence, drive, and certainty you've already experienced before. In this guided audio, you'll: • Shift your physical state through intentional breathing and posture • Reconnect with a moment when you felt confident, capable, and unstoppable • Practice creating a physical anchor you can return to when you need motivation • Visualize yourself taking the next small step instead of waiting for the perfect feeling • Reinforce a new identity built around action, consistency, and following through • Practice the simple statements: "I move now. I continue now." You don't need another Monday. You don't need another dramatic reset. And you definitely don't need to wait until you feel ready. Sometimes, you just need to reconnect with the version of you who knows how to move. Come back to this audio whenever you need a little help getting started. Ready to stop starting over?
