Coach Adam of CoachAdam34 & The Extraordinary Me Program Podcast are honored to share Episode 12 of the podcast with featured guest, the extraordinary Allison Carmichael.
As a woman, wife, mother, and school principal, Allison has endured her lot of stress. November of 2017 she began a journey of conquering that stress through the study of and practice of meditation. The simple addition of meditation to her life has made profound positive changes in her attitude, along with home & work balance. As a lifelong learner, and career educator, she felt she could not keep this information to herself & found a great opportunity to share her transformation strategies with others who also share a battle with stress, in hopes of bettering the entire educational community through the retention of quality teachers and teacher leaders amidst their stressful jobs.
Allison's platform is intended to help de stigmatize public opinion of meditation being only for “yogis” and actually allow all people to see the benefits from these practices no matter who they are. Science’s study of the brain in relation to meditation makes it impossible to argue the benefits. Mental health is underrepresented in pop culture as an area of concern in society, yet depression rates are at an all time high, as are the prescription of antidepressants. The statistics on children suffering from stress is startling as we hear kids in the third grade struggling with anxiety. Something needs to change. As Allison learns to break her second arrows, she hopes her story will help others to break theirs.
Stay the Course. Stay Extraordinary Allison. - Coach Adam.
