About Alicia

For her entire adult life, Alicia has chased the entrepreneurial lifestyle, experiencing all it had to offer as an advocate, researcher, business owner, partner, and cheerleader.

Now in her 30s, she’s breaking away from what she’s “supposed to do” to become the mother, business owner, ally, and friend she was always meant to be. She shares her knowledge and experience with sarcastic wit, candid charm, and dramatic story telling as she manages a new life as a single divorced mom and redefines who she is – to herself and her community.
