THE WORKING MAMA’S BEHIND THE SCENE

MEET THE TEAM

ALLISON

FOUNDER + DIRECTOR

Allison is a fun-seeking mom of 3 littles, Lily, Paxton, and Stella. She is a Raleigh native and lives in north Raleigh with her family where she and her husband, Jim, run a furniture business together. They love to host people in their home and cook delicious food together. Allison thrives off of connecting people and making relationships. She enjoys bringing people together to share a meaningful and purposeful experience. Thrive Motherhood has been an idea in her mind for a few years before she was able to launch it. Running an organization has been a desire of hers for some time and she is so grateful to watch a dream of hers come alive.

KATELYN

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Katelyn (or Kate!) is a Wilmington girl, though she lived in Raleigh for 9 years and helped launch Thrive Motherhood. She lives with her husband, Hank, and 3 kids Knox, Haven and Hudson. Kate is primarily working behind the scenes at Thrive, producing content for upcoming events and filling in the gaps of any creative need. She is a full time stay-at-home mama. In her down time you can find her working on some contracted design work, drawing or painting, shopping a sale at Anthro, rearranging/decorating her home, or rewatching Parks and Rec episodes. She craves being outdoors, riding horses, spending quality time with friends and family, purchasing another plant she doesn’t need and sipping on a warm oatmilk latte.

LINDSEY

EVENT COORDINATOR

Lindsey is a coffee-loving mom to two littles, Andie and Camden. She lives in North Raleigh with her husband, Jordan, and they swear they are never leaving. Lindsey loves putting the finishing touches on all of our events, making sure each and every mom feels loved and supported when they attend! When she’s not working on all the fun things Thrive offers, you can find her decorating (and redecorating) and designing different spaces in their home, and for pretty much anyone else who lets her. She and Jordan spend most nights rewatching episodes of The Office or binging The Walking Dead, there's really no in between.

COLLEEN

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

Colleen is a mom of 4 - Darcy, Emma, Liam and Oliver. She and her husband Loy have lived in Raleigh for the past decade. Colleen is a former teacher with a passion for organization and efficiency. She loves a spreadsheet and seeing details come to life. She went from teaching 22 students, to now spending her days with her 4 kids. 

When she is not working you can find her outside with her kids on walks, bike rides or just enjoying their backyard. Colleen is a lover of fall, quality time with friends, cheering on her favorite sports team (Go Canes!) and her newly found hobby of gardening and plants.
