251. Alison Weihe | Belonging: Finding Tribes of Meaning

In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Alison Weihe, author of Belonging: Finding Tribes of Meaning. Alison is an award-winning entrepreneur, global speaker, coach, and the founder of Soul Voice Journeys. She’s a former political activist in Apartheid-era South Africa, Alison’s life has been shaped by a mission of courage, contribution, and healing. She now leads conversations around Identity Intelligence™, conscious leadership, and the transformative power of vulnerability. In this episode, you’ll learn why sharing your story — even decades later — is a radical act of healing, how vulnerability and courage work hand in hand to reshape our identity, and why your voice, no matter how quiet, might be the exact thing someone else needs to hear today. We hope enjoy this incredible conversation with Alison Weihe.  To Learn More about Alison and buy her book visit: The Book: https://a.co/d/3rRYkks Website/Socials: https://www.alisonweihe.com/ http://www.youtube.com/@alisonweihe5666 http://www.instagram.com/alison_weihe http://www.facebook.com/alison.weihe http://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-weihe https://www.tiktok.com/@alisonweihe Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:21 Alison’s book marketing journey to get her book to the right readers   7:01 Sometimes writing is about healing the broken parts inside of us   10:14 Writing to say “this is my truth”   17:19 Having a greater meaning in life   21:15 What part of your story matters to whom?   24:18 Impact vs Virality   25:30 Helping women find their identity   31:39 Substance & depth in good books   37:59 Writing a book with feedback from your audience   42:31 Where to connect with Alison ________________________________________________ Join the world's largest non-fiction Book community! https://www.instagram.com/bookthinkers/ The purpose of this podcast is to connect you, the listener, with new books, new mentors, and new resources that will help you achieve more and live better.
