Allyson Carter grew up in Southern California. Thirty miles east of Los Angeles and just 30 minutes from the beach or the mountains. She left this wonderful place for a career opportunity on the East Coast. Allyson showed up with no friends, no family and not a single winter coat. It was a great opportunity to figure out how to be productive in a new environment. After 10 years she had all the cold she could take and relocated to Texas during the pandemic. The move to Texas was also the end of single parent life as her son transitioned to college in another state. After years of struggle with student loans, credit cards and mortgage payments, she was finally living within her means and enjoying two dormant hobbies: motorcycle riding and scuba diving. Allyson attributes her success in life to planning and persistence…and, of course, a few blessings.  Hear her speak about her journey as a single parent, and becoming the women she desired to be.
