    Braving The Near Impossible (Voice Log)

    Episode 38. What’s harder than running a marathon? Traveling internationally as a solo new mom with a very active 10 month old baby and a dog ~ two busses across the island of Mallorca, a flight from Palma to Amsterdam, and another bus ride home. The episode opens with a final beach outing to let Hayes play in the waves, enjoying a homemade pizza and getting some preparation work done. Then the travel day starts at 6am with deep cleaning the large vacation house and packing up the bags. From there, the journey unfolds including hiccups like waiting on the side of the road for a delayed bus in the heat of the Spanish sun, Hayes spilling a much awaited cappuccino, a turbulent flight, delayed baggage, and a cold, rainy walk home in The Netherlands. This journey required a lot of willpower and patience at every step along the way but some highlights include helpful fellow passengers, a gorgeous sunset during landing, and her partner Clay waiting at the bus station to help. Plus two serendipitous encounters at the airport. The episode wraps up with a positive reflection about how important it is to do hard things and get out of your comfort zone to stretch your capacity and confidence.

    Planning The First New Wave Group Trip

    Episode 37. An exciting update for the New Wave community ~ the first group trip is in the works! If your nervous system is craving a space where you are taken care of, massages are booked, nourishing meals are cooked by a private chef, mindful movement is planned, and you can fully exhale… then this trip could be perfect for you. Allison shares how her personal timeline is opening up, which means she has the capacity to start truly planning something she’s been dreaming about for years. A New Wave Reset Retreat in 2027. She takes listeners behind the scenes on her history with Tulum ~ from luxury stays at Azulik, to budget backpacker hostel stays, to living at a yoga resort, and in multiple apartments around town. Throughout the years, her ‘boots on the ground’ experience has led her to find her favorite aspects of this magical place. And now she wants to show YOU! Allison is currently deciding which group to cater towards… or ideally… all three! As someone who’s been to 20+ countries solo, hosting a session for solo female travelers is very appealing. But when she visited last winter with 10-week old baby Hayes, she realized how deeply women, mothers, and caretakers need a space where someone else handles everything for them, so she’s also considering a session with provided on-site childcare. And as a new parent, she’s noticed the strain it’s put on her relationship and how much more intentional she has to be with her partner to carve out quality time, so a couple’s retreat could also be really special. Do any of these groups resonate with you? If so, please fill in the questionnaire to help vote on trip dates, length of stay, and desired amenities / activities. Your answers are going to shape whether, when, and how this becomes real Mentions/Links:Please Fill Out - Questionnaire / SurveySecure Your Spot - Make A Deposit For those who are eager to secure a spot on the trip, you can make a deposit. Allison plans to keep retreat sessions very intimate so there will likely only be 4 to 8 spots per session. The deposit will be refundable up until 2 weeks after dates are announced (for example: if retreat dates are announced December 1st, you’ll have until December 15th to confirm if you are able to join. If you can’t make it, you can get your deposit back). Once the trip is live, there will also be ‘pay in full’ and ‘payment plan’ options.

    10km Coastal Hike on Alcúdia Bay (Voice Log)

    Episode 36. Allison is still in Mallorca, finding the balance between slow days and exploring the island. As she was taking out the recycling, she was looking off into the distance to the next town. She thought, “maybe Clay would want to join me for a coastal hike.” With some very brief research, she found a walking trail and health-food cafe that would make the perfect destination to refuel before hiking the 5km back. She brought the idea to Clay and he eagerly agreed but said “well we need to leave now for me to make it back in time for my client calls!” They strapped Hayes into the carrier and were out the door within a few minutes, no bags, and no preparation. The couple candidly talks along the 10 kilometer coastal hike sharing observations such as the calmness of the ocean, the benefits of barefoot walking, an octopus spotting, and playing a bonding game that includes gratitude and some good laughs. They enjoy a delicious and nutritious lunch ~ sharing an açaí bowl, poke bowl, banana date smoothie, and cappuccino. Time passed quickly so Clay had to run home. Allison took Hayes to the park nearby where he met a new baby friend and got all his energy out. She carried her tuckered out baby all the way home in the heat of the Spanish day. The evening ends in one of their favorite ways with homemade pizza, red wine, and gelato. Allison shares a serendipity moment involving someone from her hometown, a purchase from her store and the crazy coincidence of being in the same corner of the world at the same time.

    Celebrating My Birthday In Mallorca

    Episode 35. Allison is entering her next orbit in the sunshine, next to the sea, surrounded by vineyards and the most delicious fresh food she’s ever had. She’s joined by her mom, partner, baby and dog ~ which makes it even more special. It was a rough start to the trip with a super long flight delay, but it was uphill after that. Driving through the countryside with a 360 degree cotton candy sunset views and arriving to the house right on the ocean made the wait worthwhile. Allison shares some of the trip highlights so far such as an in-home massage, visiting an organic vineyard, and scenic drives to the cliffs on the northern tip of the island. If you aren’t super familiar with the island of Mallorca, you’ll also learn about it’s geography, lifestyle, agriculture, and main reasons to visit. It’s an incredible destination that brings millions of tourists annually so if you’ve been thinking of adding it to your bucket list ~ now you’ll have more insight into why!

    Hair Theory (Voice Log)

    Episode 34. With the bob chasing the hearts of girls all across Pinterest and Instagram, Allison wonders if she should jump on the trend or keep growing her hair out. Being postpartum, she’s desiring some TLC but wants to find the middle ground between sustainable maintenance and feeling like authentic herself. In this multi-part voice log recorded across a canal walk, a late night spiral, a gym stretch with Clay, and finally at the salon ~ she talks through her surprising hair growth from switching to a more meat-based healthy diet, the pros and cons of a short bob, why she wants to elevate her aura, a perm she’s been chasing since high school, and how her hair changed color during pregnancy without anyone warning her that was a thing. She ends up going long bob ~ collarbone length, more bangs, some layers. The AI agreed. The stylist agreed. And she was warmly welcomed at home by Clay and her mom’s reactions. The episode wraps with serendipity moments that prove how powerful our thoughts are in shaping our reality.

    My Favorite Things About October

    Episode 33. October is Allison’s favorite month of the year so she eagerly updates listeners on what fall activities she’s been up to the last two weeks ~ such as visiting a pumpkin garden, an apple orchard and carnival, pumpkin lattes, baking and an ‘end-of-summer’ reset. She shares favorite foods, crafts, activities and mindset shifts that she’s leaned into in years past and wants to incorporate this fall as well. This episode is candidly a bit disorganized as she’s recording live from the park. She’s in the process of packing and cleaning for a 2 week trip abroad, so she wanted to soak up the glistening autumn afternoon under the big trees, admiring the leaves changing, picnickers and bikes passing by. She encourages listeners to lean into fall picnics with a thermos full of broth and pack a bag of art supplies.

    Stop Waiting For Someday (Voice Log)

    Episode 32. What are you saving for “someday”? The dream trip, writing in your journal, a slower morning, a new skill, or simply baking your favorite homemade cookies. While delaying gratification has its place, many of us are trapped in a habit of postponing our joy, peace, and self-care until we reach an imagined finish line. In this episode, Allison breaks down why we need to stop waiting until life is quieter, easier, or more certain. She shares personal stories about a last-minute home exchange that turned a short birthday trip into two weeks in Mallorca, why she backed out of a prenatal Pilates training, and how she finally made peace with a tough daycare decision. Plus, a story about a wig that perfectly captures how we romanticize solutions that don’t actually solve the underlying problem. It’s a reminder to give yourself permission to do less, stop taking on things that sound better in theory than they feel in practice, and enjoy the life you have right now.

    Mindset Shifts For Finding Friends In Adulthood

    Episode 31. Most advice on making friends as an adult is too generic to actually help. After Allison shared some of her successful friendship stories (episode 29), she reflected on how she met those friends, how they determined mutual compatibility, and what has made the friendship last. Allison shares what helped her build genuine friendships across multiple countries and life transitions. She covers five actionable approaches: being the brave initiator, making specific plans instead of vague intentions, using third places and proximity to your advantage, accepting asymmetry at the beginning of a friendship, and knowing your own integration test for who makes it into your inner circle. She also gets into what it means to turn the mirror on yourself first ~ what kind of friend you are, what you can realistically offer in this season of life, and why knowing your Venus sign might give you more clarity on your friendship style than you'd expect. A quick, practical and reflective episode. 444 Signature Reflection:What are four places or situations where you have naturally connected with people in the past?
