Who am I?


I’m Ali! I’m a mother of two strong-willed, sweet, sassy, and amazing girls (4 and 7). I work a standard day job at a company I love, in a department full of people I care deeply about, and work towards my dreams and goals after my little ones go to sleep or in the few quiet moments I get while they’re immersed in their iPads or playing teacher.

My husband is my rock and the reason it’s possible for me to embark on my wellness journey while also trying to make my dreams come true to help others succeed in theirs.

My Wellness Journey & “Midlife” Awakening

  • Approaching 40 sparked the question, “What am I really doing with my life?” I like my day job, love the company, and the people, but I didn’t feel fulfilled or like I was living in my purpose. Then something magical happened… I realized my true passion lies in helping others succeed in fitness, mindset, and overall well-being.
  • My personal victories, or at least understanding, over generalized anxiety, Imposter Syndrome, and negative self-talk inspired a mission to make these tools accessible to you.

Wellness

The term mental health can feel broad or vague—it means different things to different people. For me, it’s anything that helps calm the mind and enhances your ability to truly enjoy life.

That could mean getting a massage, working out, eating nourishing foods—or indulging in something delicious just because it makes you happy. Maybe it’s journaling, sitting in silence, sleeping (which is insanely underrated, in my opinion) or simply taking a break.

Mental wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different strategies work for different people, and I genuinely love exploring all of it.

Let’s explore some options that work for you!
