I’m Allison: mama, basketball wife, part-time expat, relationship expert, content creator, and self-published author. Thanks to my husband’s basketball career, we’ve lived in 5 different countries and currently split our time between Japan and our hometown, Atlanta, Georgia.
My husband and I are college sweethearts. We welcomed our first little broke bestie, Harper, in July 2019, and being a mom has been my favorite adventure yet. Our son, Jaxson, joined the party in February 2022.
I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and specialize in couples’ communication and helping women to take control of their narratives to create the lives that they want. I love to share marriage and travel oriented content, and about all things motherhood.
I pride myself in being authentic in my journey and enjoy giving others a glimpse into our unique lifestyle as an African American family living abroad.

A great example of how the father treats the mom can directly affect a young girls sense of safety and self esteem. I was a very shy kid but my mom said that when I was three, I told my dad "Stop talking like that to my mommy!" When they had an argument 😅
For sure! We absolutely did not know she would react this way because she’s never seen my husband by anything but kind and loving, but if shed light on how seeing the opposite can impact children
IM 11 YEARS OLD AND SOOOO FAT BRO I SWEAR AND IM 45,? IN WEIGHT BRO I GET SO BULLIED LIKE EVERY SINGLE DAY I GET BULLIED 15 F** TIMES AND IM 4 FEET TALL WTH
Kids cam sense any tension or uneasiness between parents, they hurt when parents hurt each other....she felt it wrong in her core and was hurt that her father would say mesn things to mommy. I swear children are sponges and super intuitive.
They are for sure! I didn’t think she would react like this, but the fact that she did showed me how much the way we speak to each other in front of our children matters
Some people smile when they’re nervous or uneasy. The human brain is crazy like the reason you laugh when you’re tickled even if you want it to stop. It’s uncomfortably with the feeling of being tickled even though it doesn’t hurt so the body chooses an emotion to express discomfort when It’s unfamiliar with the discomfort
She’s ready to set boundaries. I love how she was uncomfortable honestly. Not the expected reaction but she felt free to express how she really felt without knowing how to do that, and the support and space y’all gave her was excellent! The old soul said if you ain’t got nothing nice to say don’t say it.
Thank you! I debated whether to shade this or not because I truly did not expect her to react that way. However, I think it’s important as parents for us to see how much the way we speak to each other can impact our children as well
you have a beautiful family!! I enjoyed this video and the information on your air sculpt procedure! thats how I actually found you, I have my airsculpt tomorrow !! :)
