A Little About Me
I am Alison Harris Welcher, and I am a wife, full-time working mom, community leader, and boss in many areas of my life. I love to travel, enjoy new experiences with my family, Peloton workouts, binge-watching romcoms on Netflix, and learning ways to improve my life.
I created THRIVE Life Coaching to help professional Black and Brown moms succeed in all areas of life through life’s various seasons and transitions.
I have been an educator for nearly 20 years, and during that time, I have coached and developed hundreds of teachers and school leaders globally to improve their skills in K-12 education in service to students. Through that experience, I’ve developed a passion for helping people to live their best lives personally and professionally. I now want to help professional women, especially moms!
As seasons change, so do we. Each stage of our life calls us to assess where we are and where we want to go. However, we must not forget to LIVE in the season. This service will help you live your best life NOW, no matter what season you are in. We provide a mix of personal development, career, and transitional coaching.

Why I became a coach
MY STORY
In January 2020, I delivered my first son.
The week I returned from maternity leave, the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Suddenly, my husband and I were caring for our newborn while we both worked from home. Like so many families, we struggled to find balance and were exhausted. As a high-performing professional before motherhood and pre-pandemic, I struggled immensely to find my grounding. As the world grappled with uncertainty and fear, I found myself navigating uncharted territory as a new mother, overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility while working full-time as a senior leader at a consulting firm. Amidst the unprecedented challenges brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic, I went through a remarkable transformation. Determined to channel my experiences into something meaningful, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Through my own struggles, I recognized the immense need for support, guidance, and empowerment among black and brown women navigating the complexities of motherhood while also leading professional careers. Driven by a deep sense of purpose, I became a life coach dedicated to uplifting and empowering fellow black and brown mothers grappling with similar challenges. I recognize the unique challenges and societal pressures women like me face, who strive to excel in their careers while navigating the complexities of motherhood and leadership in their families and communities.
Now, as a mother of two toddlers, leading in my community and professionally, with a newfound expertise and a heart filled with compassion, I am creating a safe space for Black and Brown women, offering them the tools, strategies, and unwavering support needed to navigate the unique obstacles that we face as professional working moms. Through my coaching, I help women identify their ideal lives and develop new habits, but I also encourage them to embrace rest and joy to THRIVE in their roles as mothers and professionals. My story is a testament to the power of transformation and the ability to grow and transform even amidst the most challenging circumstances.
