“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.
