Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human

By Allison Crow

Imagine trusting yourself deep into the core of your bones and in every cell of your body.

Not your perfect performative plastic self, but your wild, messy, human self - your authentic self. What would it take for you to trust yourself, to BE yourself, and genuinely befriend all of yourself?

Imagine the quiet and clear confidence of just being at home in all of you. Undoing the conditioning of the outside world and making a commitment to authenticity can be a wobbly journey. Vulnerable? Yes. Will it require a few metric tons of self-compassion? Yes. Will you need to learn a few emotional agility skills and nervous system regulation skills? Yes. Worth it? All the yesses ever.

If you want to be at home in yourself, you have to be willing to meet all parts of you - especially the parts which have been exiled, vilified, and shamed - the parts that make us most uncomfortable. Meeting and befriending all parts of yourself is the first step to trusting yourself so that you can genuinely BE yourself. It takes more than desire. This sacred path requires us to cultivate connection, calm, and compassion. It requires curiosity to activate the clarity and courage we seek.

Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human by Allison Crow is a different kind of leadership book - a book of SELF-leadership. Not quite a road map, but certainly a delicious set of ingredients, tools, and full color images that will equip and inspire you if you want to live a more Soul-full and glorious human experience.
