Amazing Community and Mentorship
Alli has created something really special in The Village. Between the daily prompts, classroom, weekly zoom calls, and her 1:1 mentorship; it is a space where I feel free to be myself, write ugly without judgment, and feel genuinely supported and encouraged to hear my own voice again. I have been working 1:1 with Alli and have learned so much about myself. She has helped me put words to things I had been feeling for a long time but wasn’t able to explain. She has created and shared tools to help me work through my emotions and finding myself again. Alli has been so thoughtful, supportive, and intuitive from the very beginning, and I feel truly seen and understood. I highly recommend Alli and her community!

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about
Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about. Her journaling advice and written prompts are excellent, but what proved even more valuable to me was talking with her one-on-one. The combination of encouragement and plain-spoken truths she delivered allowed me to overcome the worst of my self-doubt and really embrace a sense of confidence. Highly recommend.
