5 Ways You’re Sabotaging Yourself as a Working Parent, And How to Stop
Hi, I’m Alli.
Clear-eyed. Sharp-tongued. Caffeinated. Getting sh*t done.
Founder, Writer, Speaker
Six months after having my daughter, I checked myself into an intensive program for postpartum depression. The next day, I walked back in — and everything changed.
Since then, I’ve been writing, speaking, and building toward one goal: to make the messy parts of life — parenting, ambition, identity — feel a little less lonely, and a lot more human.

I speak about the messy, often invisible work of being human while building something — a family, a company, a sense of self.
From postpartum depression to professional reinvention, I talk about ambition that doesn’t pause for parenting, identity that gets rewritten without permission, and how we keep going anyway.
Whether I’m talking to corporate ERGs, leadership teams, or parent communities, I bring raw honesty, a little humor, and
real-world tools to help people feel seen and supported.
Let’s talk about what you’re working on and how I can help.
