Look back at your favorite childhood memories…

Children in beach 1
Children in beach 2

You were fearless in going after what you wanted

You didn’t worry about guilt or judgment from others

You had infinite curiosity for trying new things

Your life was guided by play and adventure

You couldn’t wait to grow up and do the things you weren’t “allowed” to do

Children in beach 1

Then you became an adult.

You let responsibilities and obligations dictate your life.

You let fear and self-doubt hold you back from trying new things.

You let expectations and social norms tell you what to do.

You tell yourself “I don’t have enough time.”

You forgot how to have fun.

You’ve gotten comfortable with settling.

But sometimes our true selves nudge us until we can no longer ignore the signs…

The pull towards sharing that special gift you know you have.

It’s time to stop
saying

I can’t or I shouldn’t

I’m here to tell you…

You can and you’re allowed to!

I know, because I’ve been there myself.

My identities have shifted over the years, but my driving desire has always been to trust my intuition, finding ways to stay light, even when change is hard. I've learned that a curious and adventurous mindset is an antidote to stress and uncertainty.

WHAT IS

Press Play?

My signature program is a live, interactive, virtual, super fun 6-week workshop that will help you get unstuck (while also adding more play to your days). Gain clarity on what you want and take action on your life. The time will pass anyway...how will you use it? Design proactive steps to un-pause and press play on your life.

In 6 weeks, you will

GET CLEAR ON YOUR GOALS

You will define your intentions, make your own needs a priority, and transform anxiety into clarity.

CREATE A ROADMAP

I’ll work with you to put together a game plan with actionable steps to achieve your goals.

GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT

You'll start to prioritize that thing you've always wanted to do, and then begin to do it. Live life on your own terms...without the guilt.

RENEW YOUR SELF CARE

You'll track your self-care so that you can break or create habits by: starting a regular meditation practice, creating a fitness routine, eating more mindfully or focusing on sleep.

ADD PLAY AND ADVENTURE INTO YOUR DAYS

You'll walk away a customized "play list" of all those things you want to do with your time on this earth...and the inspiration to get it done.

STOP WAITING AND START LIVING

Most importantly, you’ll learn to turn your "one day" into "day one."

Not just another online course.

Press Play is a live, interactive program with opportunities to share within a small and supportive group, as well as get one-on-one guidance to keep you accountable for success.

"Friends are saying I seem happier now after taking Press Play. I never felt pressured by the work—it was a luxury! "

If I am facing a difficult situation, now I take a step back and come at it from a different perspective. Instead of focusing on my weaknesses, I think about my strengths and how I can use them to fix a problem. Press Play has given me more day-to-day confidence and more self-awareness. It must have been fate that I found her.

Megan from Brooklyn, NY

"I’ve worked with some great coaches, and I think Alison blows everyone else away."

I was a little apprehensive about being the only male in the workshop, but no one’s more welcoming than Alison. I really haven’t experienced anything this organic or authentic—it really sticks with you. It will be the hour you look forward to every week. I’ve taken the course twice already—I’m kind of addicted to it!  

Michael from New Canaan

"Alison gets it, and she's a great listener. She has an ability to understand without judgment."

I’ve done quite a lot of workshops, but in Press Play, I learned so many great tools to help me live my best life, not something someone expects me to be. I also liked being accountable to a group; it made a huge difference to show up every week. If you are going through a period of transition or change, it’s really valuable to do this kind of introspection and self-study. The lessons you learn become embedded in your mind.

ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN

Showing up each week means creating accountability to create new habits, set your fitness or personal goals, build your professional or career dreams, and get your life unstuck.

"I loved Alison’s emphasis on the power of play, which is something that I had let go of a long time ago."

She’s an adventurer. She travels, she hikes, she goes around the world…she says yes to just about anything that comes her way. It’s so admirable because she walks the walk. So she’s not just encouraging you to take risks, she actually takes big risks herself. And that makes you feel more confident to take some too. I really enjoyed her authenticity and empathy towards people’s situations. She really invested herself into each and every person who participated.

Tara from Far Hills, NJ

"She makes you feel so seen and heard, and that's where I think healing really begins."

I knew deep down I wanted a major shift in my life, but I didn’t know what that looked like or what shape that would take. Alison grounds you in mindful thinking and get you into the WHY of your goals. And then she gives you actionable tools to start moving on those goals. It feels like such one-on-one personal support, even when you’re in a group session.

Tanya from Brooklyn, NY

"It was life-changing. It allowed me to discover who I am and what I want to do 'when I grow up.' And now I have a new career!"

I opted to do the workshop a second time because there was just so much valuable content. It was life changing. Now I have a new career in teaching art! And I’m sleeping more and reading again. It’s given me the gift of finding myself and discovering my passions. I’m just forever grateful—for her friendship and guidance. 

Vera from Montclair, NJ

 

The Program Curriculum

Week 1

Take Care of Your Soul

  • We’ll focus on the mind-body connection, and you’ll learn how to set up healthy practices (more exercise, mindfulness, nutrition, and sleep) to help you get over an “I can’t do it” mentality. You CAN do it.
  • You’ll be tracking your progress in a “Soul Care Chart” that you submit weekly to hold yourself accountable. I’ll support you!

Week 2

Gain Clarity

  • You’ll start to uncover the layers of what makes you YOU, using proven tools, diagrams, and worksheets that encourage deep self-reflection.
  • You’ll find your “raison d’être” that will give you insight into how to merge your skills with your desires, and what you need to get unstuck.

Week 3

Hear Your Soul Whispers and Follow the Signs

  • You’ll learn how to get quiet and listen to your inner knowing, instead of being controlled by your limiting beliefs and the expectations of others.
  • You’ll also start paying attention to the signs and synchronicities around you. You’ll start to gain perspective and increase the level of gratitude for all that you have.

Week 4

Embrace Play, Mystery, and Adventure

  • You’ll find your personal “keys to freedom” to help shift your mindset and take charge of how you want to live your life.
  • You’ll discover how to express your “play personality,” and you’ll be encouraged to create your own challenges and to seek adventure without letting excuses get in your way.

Week 5

Prioritize Your Goals and Manage Your Time

  • You’ll learn how to maximize productivity every day and how to make time for the action items that are most important to you.
  • We’ll also discuss the value of pausing for ultimate growth and how to stay motivated to achieve your goals.

Week 6

Let Go, Find Strength, and Move Ahead

  • You’ll start to shed the fears, perfectionism, and expectations that have kept you from realizing your most authentic self. You’ll learn how to build resilience in all areas of your life, and how to live with a broader perspective and more gratitude.
  • You’ll create an action plan for your future based on everything you have learned in the workshop.
