“So many of us have been told not to do the big, bold thing,” Allyson explained. “You know, at this age, I should probably be staying home and taking care of my kids, doing all that. And just, why not? Let’s flip it on its head. Let’s go after the thing. Let’s be vulnerable.”
It won’t be an easy feat for Allyson, who is mom to Camry’s7, and Trey2, with husband Kenneth Ferguson. Still, she believes, “I would probably be upset at myself if I just didn’t give it a try.”
Allyson knows that she may encounter resistance, sharing “I totally get the person who sticks around too long and you’re like, ‘What are they doing?’”
She added, “I know, at 40, I am not at my peak. I have no illusions about that. I’m very clear in what it is and what I want to see. And so I hope it’s seen that way.”
