Welcome!

Hi, I'm Allison, and I'm so glad you found me!  I am a central Texan, born and raised a farmer's daughter who reaches to be a better version of myself every single day.  I grew up learning to work hard, dream big, and always be kind to those around me.  I am now living my dream because I chose to be persistent and persevere through anxiety, self doubt, and failure.  I have learned that I am stronger than anything that comes my way because God is bigger and better and will be with me every step of the way.  

 I am a child of God, wife to my college sweetheart, mother to 2 girls, and a family nurse practitioner.  But that's not all!  I am a runner, writer, dog Mom to a spoiled rotten goldendoodle, and lover of books, travel, coffee, and wine.  I love all things personal growth and feel that I am able to better serve those around me when my cup is filled up.  When I fill up, I can spill out to my family, friends, patients, and my readers.  

 Just like farming, life is full of seasons of cultivating, planting, pruning and harvest.  Some seasons are full of joy and other seasons are heavy and filled with heartache.  It is during these difficult seasons that we must learn to fill our cup with good things.  I hope that you will join me on this journey of pouring into ourselves so we can joyfully pour into others.

How to Create a Morning Routine

On my journey to create the best version of myself and create a more fulfilling life, I have learned the importance of a good morning routine.  How we start our day can have incredible impact on how the rest of our day goes.  Starting our day with gratitude, time in scripture and prayer, and setting our intentions for the day sets us up for success.  Creating time to work on ourselves and our goals is life changing.  Not feeling rushed, unorganized, and flustered in the morning is important in setting the tone for the day. I have always been someone that wakes up early, mostly because I have to!  In my younger high school days, I would often set my alarm for 4 am to finish up homework or study for a test before an early morning practice.  In college, it was often the same way.  I just never seemed to have enough hours in the day or would tire out early at night, so I was left with early morning hours to get my work done.  As a nurse in the hospi...

Podcasts

You might be someone that has been listening to podcasts for years, or you might be asking what the heck is a podcast?  I discovered podcasts about 2 years ago, and they have literally changed my life.  I used to "multi-task" by running, doing chores, walking the dog, or driving AND listening to music or maybe watching a TV show.  Then one day, I discovered the world of podcasts, and I can't get enough of them.  Did you know podcasts are totally free?  If you have an APPLE device, there is a purple podcast APP already on your device.  Simply click on it and search through thousands of podcasts and subscribe to the ones you want to follow each week. A podcast is essentially an internet radio show that you can listen to via your device.  It's free content on almost any topic you can think of.  The host downloads new episodes each week, giving you something to look forward to.  If you follow any motivational speaker, author, or thought leader,...

What it's like to run a Marathon

Is running a marathon on your list of goals or dreams?  Or does the thought of running 26.2 miles sound absolutely crazy to you?  Maybe running 3 miles sounds like an impossible goal.  I'll admit, running a marathon was definitely not on my aspiration list until about 7 years ago.  I had always enjoyed running, but 3 miles (a 5K) was about my longest run.  I don't know if I even knew anyone who had run a marathon or even a 1/2 marathon back then.  After all, less than 1% of our country's population has completed a full marathon.  26.2 miles is a long ways, right?! 7 years ago, my husband went on a transformation journey of his own, hugely motivated to lose weight and get healthier.  It had been a few years since we had run any sort of distance, and he started with the goal of running a 5K, then a 10K, then decided to sign up for a full marathon in January of 2014.  It was quite a lofty goal, but he was determined to do it, and he had my...
