Bio

Hi, I'm Ally. I'm really glad you're here.

If you're feeling overwhelmed in your relationships, stuck in overthinking or anxiety, or struggling with self-worth or feeling misunderstood, you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to offer a supportive, gentle space where you can feel heard without judgment. You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out.

I value gentleness, respect, authenticity, and compassion.

My intention is to be present with you and sit alongside you as you explore what you're feeling, at your own pace.

I know what it's like to just need someone to connect with and I'm here for that. I'm also learning as I go, and I try to stay open, accountable, and fair in the way I show up for others.

We can just be human together. 💙

If I'm online. feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, vou're welcome to send me a message and we can arrange a time to connect. :)

...See more Reading can be a really great comfort and escape. I know that at many difficult times in my life, books have been there for me, like a dear friend who offers a calm space or a fascinating world. I love talking about books and how they have meant a lot to me. What books do you feel have really been there for you? It could be one book or a few, the kind that makes you feel all warm inside when you think about it. And what about the book/books to you remember most?

Verified listener reflection

...See more Recieving the Verified Badge was a very exciting moment for me. It showed me that I've grown in this space and it meant a lot. <3 But at the same time, I suddenly felt a wave of imposter syndrome come over me. I suddenly felt I had to be absolutely perfect at this and not to let anyone down. It was a lot of pressure to feel in the moment. I had to remind myself that it is okay to still be learning. It is okay to not be the best listener in order to be a good listener. All I can do is keep showing up with the skills I've learned, while staying reflective and aware of myself as I go. I trust that as I focus on the reason I am here, and all I value, I can do my best to show up and support those who just need someone to listen and support them. I hope to keep learning how to support others in a responsible, compassionate and empowering way. As someone with IBS, migraines and other health issues, I have been so grateful for this space so I can learn and grow at my pace. Mental health and creating safe spaces has meant a lot to me and I appreciate being able to gain the skills and work on myself here. I've loved the courses and training, and I find myself so grateful that they are free. I look forward to keep learning and growing on here, through supporting others, the courses and everyone in this space. I also hope to interact a lot more as time goes by. :) <3

Relating to Others and Ourselves
IDG 7 Cups Hub / by HeartyAlly

...See more Reflecting on the dimension ‘Relating’ Relating in the IDG framework includes caring for others and the world, appreciation, connectedness, humility, empathy and compassion and forgiveness. I find that relating, ties in with relationship, which also touches on the relationship we have with ourselves. Often times, the relationship we have with ourselves, reflects in how we relate to those around us. I find that personally, when I am more patient, compassionate and kind to myself, I find it a lot easier, to be that way with others, it comes more naturally. The more I understand about myself and my own complexities, the more I have room to understand and hold space for other people’s complexities. I am thinking of two quotes here, one quote is ‘People can only meet you as deeply as they have met themselves’, and often times I find this to be true. The work we do in our inner world, reflects how much we can relate to or understand another person. The other quote is by Carl Jung, when he says that ‘Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people’. I find this to also be true, when we can face our own inner turmoil with honesty, the parts we do not like, like when we feel jealous, or envious, or when we feel angry or bitter, when we can explore it with curiosity, and remove shame, and bring in compassion and understanding, we can see the hidden feelings underneath and create room for them to be. Often times jealousy may reflect what we want for ourselves but feel unable to get, or anger and bitterness can show us our limits and where we are over-giving or overextending. It is all information about ourselves and when we can face that, we can have a lot more understanding and grace for other people struggling, we can see the root and not shame them but instead encourage reflection, compassion and understanding oneself. We can have greater empathy. How does the way you relate to yourself influence how you show up in your relationships with others? What helps you understand other people better?

I have had deep and meaningful conversations with HeartyAlly. I reached out to them while I was in a difficult emotional state. They listened to me with empathy and helped me get clarity. I felt they were really engaged with me when we chatted. I felt heard.
Lovely person that's willing to listen to you without judgment, and actually listen to what you have to say
Very thorough and validating experiences along with honesty
Very kind listener!
Good listener and open minded
Best listener in a long time.
A really good listener. She shows that she cares and pays attention to what you are saying. She made me feel much better.
This is a *criminally* underrated listener, and probably one of *the* best I've ever came in contact with. They don't give advice, and they don't say, "That sucks for you." They made me feel so much better about myself, and really changed my whole mood in about 5 minutes. IN-CRED-I-BLE. 100% recommend.
