It’s been a week! 🎊🎉✈️❤️🌞🏖️🌼
Saul Enrique graduated from John Carroll University!!!!!

What brought me so much gratitude was that he absolutely loved his college experience. Was/is passionate about his major in finance, made lifelong friends (whom we love)and is happy❤️What a gift! Truly.

It was not smooth sailing coming home…Cleveland did not want to let us go and a six hour delay led to missing our flight and we had to spend an extra unintentional day in a nasty hotel in Chicago and yet…

Two days later we were on Hilton Head Island (my first time) as Michael led his first solo Burials at Sea as an officiant.

Hilton Head was easeful and peaceful. The beaches really are WOW!

We tried in a new pet sitter who worked out beautifully. Gratefully she didn’t flinch when we came home a day late.

I am so appreciative for the experiences and it is nice to be back at our nest that is crying for organization.

I have yet to find a better metaphor for marriage or long term committed relationships.

Marriage is like a garden. Actually, marriage is its own kind of garden.

Some gardens are lush, vibrant, abundant. Beautifully tended. Color everywhere.

Others are struggling. Overgrown. Dry. Neglected. Hanging on by a thread.

How do we create those thriving gardens?

It takes intention.
It takes effort.
It takes attention.

A healthy garden requires us to keep our eyes on it.

What is growing?
What needs tending?
Have critters infiltrated?
Is something wilting?
Does it need water?
Pruning?
Weeding?
More sunlight?

We all know what happens to a garden that is ignored.

So why do people stop tending to their marital garden?

When did the eye contact wane?
When did date nights get replaced by carpools, obligations, exhaustion, and endless to do lists?
When did we stop speaking kindly to one another?
Encouraging one another?
Laughing together?
Touching each other in small loving ways?
Making space for one another to grow and flourish?

When did we stop watering?
When did we stop weeding?

And perhaps the more important question…

What can you do today to tend to your relationship garden?

What small act of care could you offer this weekend?

When might you turn, or return, to the sacredness of the bond you created?

Relationships rarely fall apart overnight.
More often, they slowly wither from neglect.

The beautiful news?

Gardens can come back to life.

With care.
With consistency.
With willingness.
With love.

And sometimes, with support.

One of the things I genuinely love is coaching couples.

There is something deeply meaningful about helping two people pause long enough to really see one another again. To clear the weeds of miscommunication, resentment, disconnection, or simply the busyness of life. To remember what brought them together in the first place and to create a healthier, more intentional way forward.

Relationships do not need to be in crisis to deserve attention.

Sometimes they simply need tending.

If your relationship garden could use some care, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

So many young people are crossing a threshold right now… graduation from college. Woo hoo! 🎓❤️

What a significant accomplishment. Mind, body, and spirit.

Our son will be crossing that threshold too, and like so many families, I know this season can hold both deep joy and real uncertainty.

Because here’s the truth: transition can be exciting… and incredibly overwhelming.

For some young adults, this season brings questions like:
Who am I now?
What’s next?
What do I actually want?
How do I move forward when I feel stuck, anxious, uncertain, or overwhelmed?

This is where life coaching can be a powerful support.

Not because something is wrong.
But because change asks something of us.

It takes a unique person to say YES to growth.
YES to support.
YES to accountability.
YES to becoming.

Life coaching is not for everyone.
But for the right young adult, it can be transformational.

I’ve worked with young adults navigating transition, uncertainty, identity shifts, relationships, purpose, and the sometimes messy leap into adulthood.

And basking in gratitude as I read this recent testimonial from a young adult client ❤️

“Working with Allison has been a great experience. Her experience with young adults, both professionally and personally, made her incredibly relatable and easy to connect with.

I was initially skeptical about life coaching, especially since I already had experience with therapy. What helped me say yes was learning that Allison’s coaching is therapy-positive and can complement therapy while serving a different purpose.

Through our work together, I reflected on my relationships, values, energy, and what truly matters to me. In a season filled with uncertainty, that clarity became incredibly grounding. Even when life felt overwhelming, I began to trust that I could move toward what aligns with my values and let go of what no longer serves me.”

If you have a son, daughter, or young adult in your life who feels stuck in this season of transition, life coaching may be a meaningful investment in their growth.

This past week I was incredibly blessed to receive a long weekend visit from my almost forever friend Mike Mraz who hails from Alaska. I met Mike in second grade!!! Mike is an incredible human and all of his many many friends would attest to this very fact. Super smart and unassuming, humble, kind and giving, funny and an off the charts hard worker. A lover of nature as well as human rights. I have mentioned him in the past because as a medical doctor and friend he has not left my side as I continue to navigate my health journey. He is also up for an adventure and had his first sound bath experience. Friday we connected with other grade school and high school friends, Patrick Quigley and Tim Dunlavey (and their lovely spouses)(where my spouse Michael led them on a private history tour) (topped off at an amazing restaurant (the Fish Bar)) and Saturday spent the day in Bluffton @ the Quigley’s (where we were treated like royalty). I am holding so much gratitude this morning. Here is to OLCS, Erie and lifelong friendships and of course Mike Mraz❤️❤️❤️

Health and lasting change are rarely just about the number on the scale.

Yes, weight loss can absolutely be part of the journey. But so often, people “fall off” because they’ve been trying to follow a plan rather than create a life that actually supports the person they want to become.

Real transformation asks deeper questions.

Who are you becoming?
What habits align with the life you say you want?
What are you using food, avoidance, busyness, or self-sabotage to cope with?
What needs healing, support, structure, or accountability?

Lasting health is not about being “good” for a few weeks and then returning to old patterns. It’s about making a lifestyle shift. A mindset shift. An identity shift.

Sometimes life coaching becomes the missing piece. Not because I hand you a perfect plan, but because we uncover what keeps pulling you away from the life you say you want and help you build something sustainable, compassionate, and real.

You do not have to become a different human. But you may be invited to become a more intentional version of yourself. ❤️

If your health, habits, or relationship with yourself are asking for attention, I’d love to walk alongside you.
