Hey there! I’m Allison, and I’m glad you’re here.
The basics 1st: I love Jesus, my man, and my 4 babies. Brian and I have been married since 2007. We have a 16, 14, 10, and 7 year old. I’m an Enneagram 1 wing 9 who loves to travel.
For the past 15 years we’ve been building a now thriving direct sales business. One of my greatest joys is watching women realize the potential they have within themselves to chase their wildest dreams.
And now, Brian and I (and the kids of course) are chasing one of our biggest dreams….to create space for people to rest, heal, grow, and dream.
We recently bought 50 acres of untouched land, and we’re working on creating something beautiful in the midst of the trees and hills and dirt.
There is always sacrifice when you’re chasing big dreams, and we’re right in the middle of the dream chasing. I wanted a way to document it all outside of social media, so here we are.
creating space for people to grow
because fear is boring
This dream to create space for people to rest, heal, grow, and dream big dreams for themselves came out of a season of healing and rest in my life.
I carry both BRCA 1 and 2 genetic mutations, so at age 32 I chose to have a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. That season of rest and healing helped me see that:
- I actually had no idea know how to rest.
- I was chasing a dream that wasn’t even mine.
- I had so much more inside me than I was admitting to myself.
Everything started to transform in our lives as I started to do the work of healing and growth in my life post mastectomy. My reconstruction was physical, emotional, and spiritual.
I wanted to write a book. I wanted to encourage and equip women to live up and into their potential. Brian and I wanted to equip other marriages after working together for over a decade and finding some tools that worked well. We wanted to create space for people to grow.
So in November of 2017 we hosted the 1st marriage retreat in our home. We called it the Dream Retreat, and not because we believe there is any such thing as a perfect marriage, but because we know that when a couple can sit and dream together and then chase those dreams, their lives and legacies change.
In the Fall of 2018, we went all in. We hosted another dream marriage retreat and really pressed into the idea of couples creating a clear vision for their future and their family together.
Brian and I started talking about how knowing what you want and then developing a plan really is a game changer. I knew if it worked for couples it could work for women in business too.
So in June of 2019, we packed our kids up, rented a house on the beach in Mexico for 25 days and hosted our 1st dreamers + doers retreat for a dozen women.
Since then, we’ve hosted over 20 couples and 30 women in our home and in Mexico spanning 10 dream marriage retreats and 5 dreamers + doers retreats. And now we want the space to retreats on consistent basis with acres for people to roam and rest and dream.
So now that’s what we’re doing. Creating something beautiful from nothing, chasing the dreams God has planted in our hearts, and helping other people see the dreams in their own hearts.
Here’s to dream chasing, friend.
