Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
One of the most significant challenges Allison faced was juggling the demands of a high-pressure career, her family responsibilities, and her personal aspirations. During her 38 years as a Lead Paralegal Specialist, she was raising two daughters alongside her husband and later took on the role of caregiver for her father. The responsibilities of being a wife, mother, grandmother, and caregiver often stretched her time and energy to the limits.
Adding to this balancing act, Allison made the bold decision to pursue her bachelor’s degree in 2019, later in life. Returning to school while maintaining her career and ministry required immense focus, discipline, and sacrifice. She often had to navigate moments of self-doubt, exhaustion, and the challenge of keeping her personal goals in sight while serving others.
Both in her legal career and later as a pastor and leader in publishing, Allison encountered challenges common to women in male-dominated spaces. In her years as a paralegal specialist, she often had to work harder to prove her expertise and ensure her voice was respected. Similarly, in ministry, she had to navigate societal biases and preconceptions about women in leadership roles, particularly within faith-based communities.
Despite these challenges, Allison remained steadfast in her belief that her calling and purpose were greater than any barriers she faced. She embraced her role with confidence and grace, proving that women can lead with authority and compassion, both in professional and spiritual spaces.
Throughout her life, Allison faced personal and professional setbacks that tested her faith and determination. There were times when opportunities did not pan out as planned or when the weight of responsibility felt overwhelming. As a caregiver for her father, she experienced moments of emotional and physical exhaustion, balancing her deep love for her family with the growing demands of her ministry and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Even in her writing and publishing journey, Allison encountered challenges such as navigating the ever-changing publishing landscape and the difficulty of finding her footing as a new author. However, instead of allowing these struggles to define her, she used them as opportunities to innovate, create new pathways, and mentor others facing similar obstacles.
