Empower Your Personal Growth with The Pursuit of Progress

Where we focus on progress over perfection, and believe it’s the small steps that lead to real success.

My mission is to empower you with the knowledge, resources, encouragement, and inspiration you need to achieve lasting personal growth. By combining nurturing guidance with proven motivation techniques, I’ll challenge you to:

  • Celebrate every achievement, big or small
  • Push beyond your comfort zone
  • Reach heights you never thought possible

What Is The Pursuit of Progress?

The Pursuit of Progress is your go-to resource for embracing a growth mindset and committing to continuous self-improvement. My focus is on helping newbies to exercise and wellness instill solid habits and gain confidence in their abilities. This could include a plethora of things:

  • Building or breaking a habit
  • Learning to exercise
  • Tips for nutrition (no, I do not believe in eliminating all the unhealthy delicious foods!)
  • Elevating your self-care routine
  • …and more!

Overcome Obstacles and Find Your Community

Everyone encounters setbacks—negative self-talk, Imposter Syndrome, or long stretches of low motivation. You’re not alone. Thousands have faced the same challenges and emerged stronger. Join a community of like-minded individuals who offer:

  • Motivation and accountability
  • Practical tips and resources
  • A supportive, non-judgmental environment
  • Short body-weight exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home and repeat multiple times for ultimate benefits.

Let’s embrace progress together. I’m thrilled to have you on this journey and cannot wait to see where it takes you!

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

As many do, when approaching 40 I started asking myself, “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.

Wellness

The term Wellness can be broad. To 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.

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!
