Ep 269: The very last WWYBD of Already Friends. Allison catches listeners up to speed on the logistics of the podcast closing and shares fun highlights from her week. Then she answers listener’s submitted questions about trying to make time for everything, managing fluctuating income, navigating differing friendship communication styles, staying consistent with personal and brand aesthetics, and creating new routines in motherhood to remain balanced. These questions all seem to circle around themes of guilt, consistency and boundaries - which are things so many of us struggle with.

In the catch up, Allison talks about how she’s leaning into the energy of change by trying new things. She visited three new fitness studios, tried new dinner recipes, and found a new wind down beverage. She’s celebrating her first Mother’s Day weekend with pilates class, a family trip to the beach and a cacao ceremony.

QUESTIONS:

I also live abroad and find it so overwhelming to return to my hometown because my schedule is jam packed trying to see everyone I care about. No matter what I do, it still never feels like I am able to give enough and I feel so guilty. How do you balance returning home? Do I have to really narrow down who I see?
How do you balance budgeting when your income fluctuates each month as a business owner?
I’m really upset about a college friend who hasn’t reached out to check in on me after a fresh breakup from my long term partner. The more time passes, the more hurt I am.
How do you stay so consistent with your aesthetic? I'm constantly inspired by different vibes and really struggle to keep my brand on one path. This often then catapults into wanting to start multiple brands so I can explore them all, and then I get overwhelmed with an unrealistic amount of ideas.
What routines have you implemented to keep you on track managing your businesses, motherhood, self, and time with your partner? What does a typical day look like, and do you ever struggle to show up?
