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.

Let's have a feel GOOD, get FIT summer!

 Happy June, over a week late!  I just realized I never wrote a blog post in May, probably because May was CRAZY with end of the school year stuff and EXTRA CRAZY weather around here.  It was the wettest month EVER in Central Texas with over 15 inches of rain with several storms including hail and a tornado just a few miles from my house.  We are just a few weeks into summer and have been busy with storm clean-up, driver's ed classes for our oldest (eek!), camps, and workouts.  As our kids get older, summers just don't quite feel the same as sports never really stop and there are more and more things on our calendar.  We are looking forward to a couple of getaways coming up later this month and into July, which will hopefully be fun and relaxing, before getting ready for back to school in August.  I know this summer will fly by, but we are planning on making the most out of it. When it comes to my health and fitness, I am focusing on having a feel GOOD...

My podcast has launched... and some fall training updates!

 Welcome back!  It's been an exciting week as my oldest daughter turned 15 and got her driver's permit, my girls went back to school and their activities have started.... and my podcast officially launched out into the world on Friday!   It's been a dream of mine the last couple of years to start my own podcast as I have listened to an embarrassing amount of hours of podcasts on my runs, drives, and while doing my household chores.  I absolutely love podcasts as a way to learn, grow, get new ideas, and just be entertained as I do things that can sometimes feel monotonous.  And I hope my podcast will do the same for my listeners!  If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link!   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fill-up-to-spill-out-podcast/id1760984013 Tomorrow kicks off official 1/2 marathon training for me as I start preparing for my 17th half marathon, one I have run several times, the Rock n Roll San Antonio 1/2.  I hope to beat m...

Put yourself in the ROOM with others who have what you want!

 Happy July and the last 6 months of 2024!  Can you believe this year is already halfway over?  Crazy, huh?  Whether you're crushing your goals or feeling a little behind, know that there is still time to keep working and end the year STRONG!  6 months is plenty of time to commit to a fitness program and build muscle, change your body composition, lose weight, start building healthy habits when it comes to nutrition, train for a winter race, or start prioritizing those big dreams and goals you are still thinking about (they're there for a reason!).  I don't know about you... but I'm not giving up on my list of goals for the year!  Because I am worth the work... and so are YOU! Over a week ago, I attended our annual BODi Summit in San Antonio, Texas for the 2nd year in a row and was reminded of the importance of putting yourself in the room with others who have what you want.  People who are also goal-oriented, ambitious, health-focused, early-morn...
