At the Intersection

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/02/08

You know those disaster movies when a group of six people knows a cataclysmic disaster is coming, and they have hours to warn humanity? And everyone is at a picnic, laughing, or in a movie theater, or park, or just going about their business, and somehow these six people are racing around trying to save the world - and no one is really understanding what’s about to happen? That’s a little bit how it feels to be in America right now for a lot of us. Not all of us, of course, because I guess that

Schoolyard Bullies and Kindergarten Buddhas

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/02/01

Years ago, I was volunteering in my daughter’s kindergarten classroom and I found myself sitting next to a five-year-old girl who understood more about empathy and compassion than any spiritual teacher I’ve met before or since. This is a talk about where we are in this country and this world - it’s a conversation about DEI and a whirlwind of other issues some of us are working hard to defend in the United States, but underneath all of that, it’s a conversation about basic human decency.

Play It Again, Uncle Sam

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/01/25

Keeping us enraged online is a way of distracting us from being engaged on the ground. Dominating the daily news cycle is the way to win, keeping people spinning about the latest outrageous and reprehensible thing is the mission. Rage is a product, and it’s being manufactured by people who profit when we spend our time clicking on links and screaming at each other over the internet. We are playing their game, we are consuming their product, but we are also being consumed by it - and so is the planet

The Part That's Doing Me In

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/01/18

This is a talk about compassion, and how it doesn’t come with conditions. In an ideal world, if we see someone suffering, we want to help. We all understand this is not an ideal world, one has only to look at how many people on this planet are without shelter or food, or how much violence there is. We are becoming numb to the suffering of others. As the wildfires have raged throughout Los Angeles, as close friends have had their homes burn to the ground and their entire communities destroyed, as

Embers

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/01/11

A talk about what it’s like in Los Angeles right now as the wildfires rip through our communities leaving a wake of shock, loss, and devastation to a degree that is hard to fathom. A talk about the nervous system and the brain and what happens when you can’t make sense of a thing, even when you’re looking directly at it. A talk about grief, panic, and the importance of kindness. And an opportunity to think about what you would take with you if all you could take were the things that would fit in the

What do you want?

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2025/01/04

If you could have whatever you wanted in your heart of hearts, what would it be? How would life look and feel? Where would you live? What would change? If you aren’t used to asking yourself those questions, then maybe now - at the beginning of a new year - is a good time to start. This is a talk about why it might be hard for you to think about what you want, because maybe you stopped doing that somewhere along the way, or maybe it was ingrained in you to think it was selfish to consider your own

A Lively Holiday Season

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2024/12/28

Oh, the holidays. They can be wonderful or fraught, or a total mixed bag. Maybe holidays growing up were generally joyful for you, or maybe they were stressful. If you grew up with divorced parents, or you’re divorced with kids yourself, you may find schedules and logistics tough, and also all the emotions that can come up if your family doesn’t look the way you thought it would. It’s easy (and human) to get caught in the trap of thinking about how holidays “should” feel, or how you should feel

Wildfire Season

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2024/12/21

The thing about grief is that one grief can open the floodgates to all the other grief you carry, as though a grief dam has broken in your heart, and now you’re flooded with feeling. Loss is never easy, whether it’s the loss of a relationship, a job, a way of being, or a person or pet you don’t know how to live without. It can leave you feeling untethered. It’s messy and it can be scary, shocking and overwhelming, but the more we talk about it, the easier it is to face when we lose those we love

Saved by the Bell

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2024/12/14

A talk about the lack of empathy, ethics, and decency in the U.S. Healthcare system, and the toll it takes when there is no safety net for the most vulnerable. I shared two very personal stories to illustrate what it’s like to deal with the trauma, violence and stress of a system that is supposed to be there when things are at the very worst, and the emotional, mental and financial cost that is incurred when that system is failing.

Through the Looking Glass

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2024/12/07

A talk about Alice in Wonderland and how it’s a metaphor about the loss of childhood innocence, and the pain and awkwardness of adolescence on the way to adulthood. Alice is sometimes too big for the spaces she’s inhabiting, and at other times she’s too small. She ‘s trying to figure out the rules, and exactly how much space she’s allowed to take up. We dive into the White Rabbit quote, “Don’t just do something, stand there!” And how this story is also a metaphor for the times we’re navigating right

People Who Love You

2024/11/30

A talk about the people who love us and want us to be safe. The ones who see us clearly and cherish us exactly as we are - and what an extraordinary blessing it is to have people like that in our lives. Special shoutout to those Grandmas (and Grandpas) who leave an indelible imprint of love in our hearts. And a dive into what it means to be grateful, the importance of boundaries, the pain of feeling betrayed by people who claim to love us, and how certain things should never be transactional. Get

Origin Stories

A talk about Adam and Eve, and all the stories that permeate our culture, teaching us about who we are and how the world works. Some of these stories teach us things about girls and women that it would be very good for us to unlearn. Get full access to Come As You Are at allyhamilton.yogisanonymous.com/subscribe

Desecration

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2024/11/16

A talk about what to do when the truth is stranger than fiction. Sometimes the best way to make sense of reality - as unfathomable as it may be - is to turn to mythology, folktales and fairytales. And then figure out how to rise like a phoenix, protect the people you love, and those who need protection, and remember that no one can ever take away the source of your power or your own brand of magic unless you let them. And we aren’t going to let that happen. Get full access to Come As You Are at

Dances with Scorpions

Come As You Are Podcast ·

2024/10/19

A talk about not taking things personally. It’s really hard when people we care about - or even people we don’t know at all - behave in ways that are deeply confusing, hurtful, thoughtless, surprising or lacking in empathy. It can feel like some kind of reflection on us, especially if we’re talking about betrayal or rejection. If you struggle with this (and who doesn’t sometimes), the tale of the scorpion and the frog is a good one, and hopefully this talk will help make it a little easier next time

Circle Time

A talk about learning to take up space in a world that teaches you to be small, to second-guess yourself, to get everything right, and to question your value as a whole human being, worthy of respect, rights, consideration and kindness. Topics include the high cost of perfectionism, complicated mother-daughter relationships, the pain of a loud inner critic, and a path toward self-compassion. They don’t give out awards for being perfect, and being human is a lot more fun.Thanks for reading and

This is a talk about making friends with uncertainty. There’s no easy way to ride this ride if you can’t accept that part of being human is being vulnerable. Loving people means you are opening your heart as wide as it will go, knowing that you don’t know all the parameters. You don’t know how long you have, or how long anyone else has here on this spinning planet. Grief is baked into the mix, along with change, loss, and and the understanding that everything is always in flux. Learning to hold

Scents and Sensibility

A talk about grief, loss, change, motherhood, the sandwich generation, the absolutely emotional milestone of dropping your kid off at college, and the very tumultuous political landscape we’re all navigating in the U.S. right now. Also a talk about things we learned in the sandbox, and why we really need to get back to something that is sane and decent, and remember we are all neighbors on a spinning planet, going through so many similar challenges and heartbreaks. Also, “scents” will only make
