As someone who experienced SA myself, finding a man who made me feel safe was the highest priority. Little did I know I would find him my junior year of high school.

Alisha’s Junior Prom, May 2004

Despite our many break ups and make ups over the 11 years of dating between 2003 when we met and 2014 when we got married, at no time did I ever not trust Maurice.

2012

If anything, he forced me to confront versions of myself I did not trust. His integrity and character have never wavered, even while I explored truths and hard conversations in my own life.

2010

This man not only healed the little girl who wasn’t able to fully mature, but he allowed a version of me as a woman to emerge that would not have been present if I didn’t have the love, trust, and safety of a man in my life.

2011

So much of the woman I am today is because of Maurice. The empowered, confident, outspoken, audacious woman you experience is because I have a partner in my life that goes beyond just encouragement and cheerleading. He brings me back to truth, he calls my BS, he shows me my blind spots, and he calls me to my higher self.

2012

Which is why I knew having babies with him, especially girls, would probably be our “life’s work” — because it’s one thing to heal from our own stories, it’s a whole other to not pass on generational trauma and to raise new humans who can bring good to the world.

In today’s climate, it can feel almost embarrassing to celebrate being married to a man. While I have healed from my own SA experience, I still know men are not trustworthy. And in many ways, marrying a man can be a relinquish of power instead of a union that encourages both people to be challenged and forged into better versions of themselves.

But being able to show our daughters what gentle, consensual, enduring, supportive love is from a man who is committed to listening, learning, believing, and holding accountable is the real treasure.

Wedding day, 10/4/14

Happy 12 year anniversary, my love. I truly do not know what I did to have you in this lifetime, but I do not take it for granted and am reminded (almost daily) what a gift

September Recap: Well, I guess September was the month of wallpaper and football weekends. Somewhere in between, we spent time with old friends, made some new ones, tackled a few projects, and made a whole lot of memories. We will get back to regularly posting! I promise! #interiordesign #football #friends #fall #fun

Hard launching this…. Even though I don’t feel emotionally ready.

We had the great pleasure of seeing Nashville through the eyes of locals, with the most amazing hosts @brookeandbrice!

Between chasing down @thehamicafe for the most delicious matcha I’ve ever had, to being shown around The Gulch, 12 South, Wedgewood Houston (WeHo), Germantown, East Nashville, and Broadway, and eating our way through most cuisine types, I think we saw the best of what the city has to offer!

And then to top it all off, home opener NFL game with field passes. Fun city, but even better company… and pretty decent shopping 😏

Mom & dad have cups that are full, another city crossed off our list, friendships deepened, and recharged to head back to the girls!

I would not be a mother if it wasn’t for this guy… and I don’t just mean that literally. Having kids wasn’t in my life plan until I met a partner that made me feel like that was an aspect of life I couldn’t miss out on.

Being raised without a father, I never fully understood the weight and importance of having an emotionally available, secure, kind, loving man in a child’s life. But wow has Maurice not only healed that in me, but shown the magic in what it brings to a child’s life.

These girls LOVE their dad (Sloan specifically is a daddy’s girl). And for good reason: he is present, he is patient, he is persistent, and he is proud to be their dad. He is the parent I can’t be most of the time. Which is the beauty of doing this together.

I am so grateful our girls get to experience his love. Each phase of parenthood brings new versions of him and us, equal parts healing and growing in many dimensions. I could not and would not do this without him.

Happy Fathers Day, Maurice

Who would we be to write an entire best selling book about pivoting and taking aligned action if we didn’t walk the walk?!

Despite all our best efforts to put together an amazing that was supposed to be this weekend, we kept being shown it just wasn’t meant to be (and we kept forcing it, despite that).

So when Sloan was hospitalized and we had a battery of follow ups, knowing our mental space was going to be dedicated to that for the foreseeable future, we made the necessary decision to postpone the event.

And wow, to be in a place to do that, we are deeply grateful for. We host these events because we love coming together with everyone. Not because we need them for our business (or even make any kind of real money off them).

But then the responses we received from everyone was just beautiful and a confirmation we had all the right people lined up to make this another wonderful event.

So now we’ve gotta look at new dates. Curious what everyone would be interested in: summer? Early fall? Just before the holidays?

Thanks to everyone who was involved for understanding and to anyone who may com in the future, now you know we truly talk the talk and walk the walk

But why am I getting choked up watching & posting this?? It’s because this is about so much more than a workout class or physical milestone.

It represents strength, determination, and perseverance over the last 3+ years, which have been some of the most challenging of my life.

Between babies, sickness, travel, good times and bad, @purebarregoodyear has been a place I could come to for me. As a CEO, wife, and mother, coming to a space where no one needs me and I can just be with my mind and my body is truly a mental health refuge!

I feel celebrated, seen, loved, and encouraged inside these walls. So to be able to celebrate this milestone alongside so many barre besties, friends, and family truly meant SO much! (and to everyone who couldn’t be there, I felt the love!)

This is your sign to romanticize your life, prioritize the time with & for yourself, and find that community that keeps you coming back.

Thank you @purebarregoodyear for giving me that!

16yo Alisha fell in love with this boy… and 38yo Alisha is still in love with him.

Despite lots of turmoil in our early relationship (and some necessary growth), we always found our way back to each other.

I always tell people who are scared to let a relationship go out of fear it may never come back: if it’s meant to be it will. Maurice and I called it quits many times (not in a toxic way, moreso in a right person wrong time kind of way) and I credit that separation with why we are so strong today.

I just wish I could tell younger Alisha it will all be ok.

A little under 5 weeks away from our Aligned Action Accelerator. This is a FULL two days (8:30-5p Friday & Saturday) of workshopping, deep dives into your business, and growing beyond your current capacity.

If you are wondering “how do I get to the next level” or “what does the next version of my business look like” while wanting to be in a room where other business owners are working at or beyond your level… this is for you.

It’s a space where we expect you to show up wholly, both for yourself and your peers. You will tear down and build up their business… and they’re gonna do the same to yours too. This isn’t fluff or entry level convo, it’s sophisticated conversation that will challenge you.

There’s no hiding.
No sitting and taking notes.
No just leaving inspired.

You will leave transformed.
Just ask some previous attendees, because the reputation of this room precedes itself: @courtlynnjohnson @avajohanna @jessicamuro @jen_schro @mywritehandwoman @caitlinthomas @kaylastrongtaylor @collectivedesignbuild @yamimufdi @konfettipartyaz @lktbook (just to name a few)

We’ve got about 20 tickets remaining for sale, let me know if this is what you’ve been looking for.

For price transparency the full 2 day ticket is $750, one day ticket is $399. Couples tickets are $1250. Payment plans available.
