Athalia was born and raised in Chicago, IL, and is a mom of two young adults. Last year, during the Pandemic, she self-published her first book “Why the Secrets”, a story about a family secret that caused a lot of hurt, confusion, frustration, and division. There are multiple messages here, which include the importance of open, honest communication, and how having it in this situation, could have alleviated all of this. The book can be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Google Books.

She also launched her online business, "Pouches By ALAHTA", during the Pandemic, using a stylish hairbrush pouch she uniquely designed for traveling needs, which accommodates different sizes and shapes of hairbrushes and combs. Pouches are available at https://pouchesbyalahta.com/.

"I’m a firm believer of working hard at your passion, living out your dreams, and just never giving up. Being able to help people in whatever way I can has always been a part of my life. With this Podcast, I’m hoping to do just that, help as many people as possible with the conversations and information shared. Hopefully, someone will experience personal or professional growth, maybe both".
