S6-EP3: Riding the Waves of Reality: A Life Lived Between Horizons with Alison Gieschen

Author, adventurer, and lifelong dreamer Alison Gieschen—known as the nautical novelist—shares her remarkable story of courage, creativity, and reinvention.

After three decades running an equestrian program, Alison and her husband sold everything to pursue a dream many only imagine: circumnavigating the globe on a 43-foot sailboat. Their voyage has taken them through 46 countries, across the Panama Canal, and into the heart of what it means to live freely and fully.

From terrifying storms and miraculous rescues to the quiet awe of Polynesian sunsets and island friendships, Alison transforms every experience into art. Her works—Blue Ridge, Riding the Waves of Reality, The Legend of Altor, Julie’s Vaulting Dream, The Seven, and her forthcoming Sienna: A Mermaid’s Tale—weave myth, truth, and the spirit of adventure.
