ABOUT ALISON

What motivated you to follow your path?

It’s a beautiful question.

For me, it’s my unconditional love for other humans.

You might think that’s strange, but hear me out.

I grew up an only child, living in a beautiful forested part of the Rocky Mountains, about a 30-minute drive from town.

My father is an artist who works from a home studio.

My mother has a Ph.D. in French Literature, but she ran a program helping graduate students at the University of Colorado become better teachers.

My Grandmother, whose house I stayed at after school, was a widow who hosted international students at the Economics Institute.

From an early age, my life exposed me to different people from what I knew, learning, chasing big dreams, and telling me about the fantastic places they called home. Many of them were women.

I fell in love with humans, our diverse cultures, foods and traditions, and the idea of chasing a dream.

In my late teens and twenties, I traveled to places like the Gambia and Madagascar. I saw women working with their children by their side, on their backs, and at their breasts.

Then I moved to France, where I learned that mothers and parents, in general, get extra support, 3/4 time, and other benefits to help balance work and family life.

I see that a world that values women, mothers, and children at their full potential, as a world that is healthier, kinder, and resilient.

What we put into our economies, how we value our people, our resources, the environment matters. I appreciate a quadruple bottom-line, I see the ‘invisible’ economy, and I am passionate about building a truly circular economy. I believe we all deserve better.

My Why? I work to support my clients in learning to honor themselves, to live in and be present, and find joy in whatever they are doing while creating impact-driven careers and lives to change our world for the better.
