Here All Along featuring Allison Hare

After facing complications delivering her first child including an emergency C-section and being separated from her newborn son during his 9-day hospitalization in the NICU, Allison Hare began to lose her way.⁣

A DJ and a public speaker who had always been comfortable expressing herself, she now struggled with her confidence and sense of self. Soon she began searching for relief through shopping, diet plans, a hyper-focus on her BMI and, as her body dysmorphia* became more acute, cosmetic surgeries to satisfy her new determination to become flawless.⁣

After the birth of her second child in which she was able to advocate for the experience she wanted, she attended a seminar that awakened the powerful, dynamic part of her that she had forgotten. Now a podcaster and a podcast coach with a Ted talk on her bucket list, Allison is determined to be true to herself and to help other women find their voice.⁣

*Body Dysmorphic Disorder affects 1.7% to 2.9% of the general population — about 1 in 50 people. This means that more than 5 million people to nearly 10 million people in the United States alone have BDD.  It’s possible that BDD may be even more common than this, because people with this disorder are often reluctant to reveal their BDD symptoms to others.⁣
