Hi! We’re the Thrive team!
ABOUT THRIVE MOTHERHOOD
Thrive Motherhood is for all moms. Whether you work full time, stay at home, run your own business, or a mixture of it all, we would love for you to join us.
Our mission is to provide opportunities for moms to find authentic community that will encourage and equip them to thrive in and out of the home.
Thrive Motherhood was founded by Christians and is guided by biblical values. However, our events are completely focused on motherhood, community, and having fun. We don’t have religious requirements to join, and moms from all backgrounds, faiths, and walks of life are enthusiastically welcome here.
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit and we love to work with business sponsors.

ALLISON
FOUNDER + DIRECTOR
Allison is a fun-seeking mom of 4, Lily, Paxton, Stella, and Daniel and married to Jimmy. She is a Raleigh native and loves visiting all the coffee shops when she finds times alone. Allison and Jimmy 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 of hers since 2017 but God led her to start it in the beginning of 2020. Her faith in Jesus is central to who she is, and she enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life.
LINDSEY
EVENTS & TREASURER
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.

She has a background in business operations and project management. Originally from Chicago, IL, she now lives in North Raleigh with her husband Eric and their daughter Reese.

ASHLEY
BOARD MEMBER, SECRETARY
A North Carolina native, Ashley currently lives in Durham with her husband, Reid, two children (James and Annie), and lovable yellow lab, Hazel. She graduated from Meredith College and found her passion and career in recruiting. After a decade+ career in recruiting, she recently stepped away from the corporate world to stay home —an experience that has deepened her passion for supporting other moms in every stage of their journey.
As a Board Member, she is committed to helping women uncover their unique strengths, skills, and passions, while building meaningful community along the way. She believes that when moms are encouraged and equipped, they can truly thrive both in and out of the home.
