We want to share these stories to inspire you, see you, and remind you that you can keep going.

Alli Cost | Pediatric Occupational Therapist

A Non-traditional Life

Interview Description:

What if the path you’re meant to walk doesn’t look like anyone else’s?

In this Shame to Shine conversation, Alli shares her journey of releasing external expectations and embracing a life guided by authenticity, adventure, and trust.

From growing up in a conservative community to serving twice in the Peace Corps, Alli opens up about how she transformed feelings of shame and uncertainty into confidence and clarity — learning that fulfillment often comes from honoring your own rhythm, not society’s.

There is no single path to a good life. When you release the need to follow the map and trust your own compass, you discover that your authenticity is your greatest adventure.
