Summary: A Beautiful Mess - Catlin Allen: The Power of Story in Transforming Our Lives Today I got to sit down with my dear friend Catlin for his second appearance on ABM. Catlin has been my friend, mentor and teacher in so many aspects of my life, and since meeting him when I was 12, he’s truly transformed my life for the better. I can’t wait for you all to hear his wisdom, and our dialogue on how Stories shape us, how iron sharpens iron, and how language truly matters in communicating beliefs. But even beyond what we agreed on, I’m excited for you all to listen to us sit in the space of having differing opinions and views on certain subjects, and navigating those moments with an open mind and willingness to be wrong. I learned a lot from this conversation and I’m so glad I get the privilege of sharing it with you. I hope you all enjoy, and as always thank you so much for listening. I have recently come to the realization that being on Instagram has in the last year, become more negative than positive for me, and so after a year of mulling it over, I’ve come to the realization that for now, I need to step away from my @happyandhealthy96 instagram account. Many of you know that I’m going back to school and that my focus is going to be directed there moving forwards, so it’s what made the most sense and felt the most natural for me. There are definitely aspects of connecting over instagram that I miss but by and large, I’ve felt much more connected to the people in my life, and much more at peace and present. Thank you all for your continued support over these years, I’m truly so grateful, and who knows maybe I’ll run into some of you in real life one day and get to give you a big hug. Anyways… that’s all for now! If you want to connect with Catlin which I definitely recommend you do, you can find him on instagram @catlinallen. And I’ll talk to you all in the next episode! XX
