“I’m adventurous, determined, and spontaneous”
Alison didn’t always know what she wanted in life, but she knows that she can do something big, something important. She is always working to be a better version of herself – just like a natural diamond – when it’s polished and incorporated into a piece of jewellery, it will transform into a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
My Struggles:
- I was feeling dark and lost in my teenage years, as my parents got divorced…
- Thinking how to transition to the next chapter in my life and conquer the fears.
- Give up other aspects of my life for being a full-time mom and my kids.
- Who am I outside of mom, outside of my kids?
How I conquer my hard times:
- It’s okay to feel lost and have doubt in certain stages of your life.
- Waking up every day feeling motivated is just unrealistic. Do not pretend everything is alright.
- You don’t need to be perfect or a billionaire.
- It’s all about accepting where you’re at.
- Exercise and be grateful.
What I’m looking for now:
- I believe I can do something.
- I look for something on the side besides being a mom.
- I want to live a happy and simple life with purpose.
