You keep telling yourself things will calm down soon.

You're running on fumes by 3:00 pm.

Let's change that.

​

From the outside, you have it all together.

On the inside, you're running on fumes, giving everything to everyone else and arriving at the end of each day with barely anything left over for yourself.

​

That's not a life. That's a system running until it doesn't.

​

You want to do more things for yourself but there just isn't enough time.

Or you try after everything is done, but by then you're ready to collapse on the couch.

​

The thing about running on fumes is that you can keep going for a surprisingly long time.

Nobody stops you.

Nobody asks if you're okay, because you're still showing up, still getting it done.

​

So the gap between how capable you look and how empty you actually feel just keeps growing, until you're so used to having nothing left that you forget there's another way to feel.

​

Stop running on empty.
Start feeling like you again.

Hi, I'm Alison.

I'm a high-achieving, go-getter, highly engaged, “busy” entrepreneur, mom of two, partner, and friend. Before owning my own business, I worked for 15 years in a job I loved at a provincial non-profit organization.  For years, I worked full time, spent time with my family and enjoyed countless hobbies and interests with high energy, until one day things changed. 

Despite all my best intentions, I felt drained, unfocused, scattered, irritable, and “blah”. That began a lifelong journey to support my own mental wellbeing and help others who might feel the same way. 

In early 2020, I became a full-time business owner, teaching Mental Health First Aid in workplaces. After teaching hundreds of courses, I noticed how many others were stuck in similar patterns–never-ending work, life commitments that never seem to leave any extra time, and the drain from constantly being “on”. That started my journey into better understanding stress, overwhelm and burnout and I haven't looked back since!

I strongly believe that it’s worth breaking the status quo of “going through the motions of life” and living a life that feels great (whatever that looks like for you!)

Life by Design is the result of hundreds of hours of research, training, conversations and real life practice to figure out the tools that really move the needle on creating your best life.
