Voices of Women with Host Kris Steinnes: Allison Carmen on the Gift of Maybe

The Gift of Maybe
Finding Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times
Allison’s new book reveals how empowering this belief became to her and how dramatically it has improved her life and outlook. She details how, by accepting the “truths” of Maybe, we can reduce the stress and worry in our lives and open the doors to hope and possibility. Whether one has just lost a job or is dealing with concerns about health, money, or relationships, The Gift of Maybe provides the tools needed to cope with these life experiences. Topics covered include:
Reducing stress and anxiety Creating more opportunities in life Viewing uncertainty as a place of hope Minimizing self-doubt as an obstacle to moving forward Finding joy in the moment instead of worrying about the future

Fifteen years into her career as an attorney, Allison was forced to accept that she was an ad- dict. But it wasn’t work, drugs, alcohol, or even gambling that she was hooked on; it was certainty. Every moment of her life, Allison desperately sought to know or predict what would happen next, trapping her in a spiral of anxiety, doubt and fear. She only found hope and freedom when she dis- covered the life-altering mindset of the concept of Maybe.
