Meet Ali Mann Stevens
Ali Mann Stevens is a sales leader at a fast-growing tech company. She is a summa cum laude graduate of Queens College, where she earned a degree in sociology before unexpectedly finding her way into the world of sales. What began as a college job selling Cutco evolved into a fulfilling career—including over a decade at LinkedIn—where she discovered a passion for building high-performing teams and empowering others to reach their full potential.
Her journey took a profoundly personal turn after the premature birth and tragic loss of her twins, who were born at twenty-six and a half weeks—an experience that left her feeling isolated until she discovered comfort in the stories of others who had walked similar paths. The realization that none of us are ever truly alone became her inspiration for this book, in which she offers strength, connection, and hope to others navigating the often silent struggles of parenthood.
Ali lives with deep gratitude for the life she holds: a loving partner, two healthy children, a supportive family, and the lessons that loss and love have taught her. When she's not writing or working, she enjoys family adventures outdoors, traveling, painting, interior design, and pausing to appreciate the simple beauty of everyday moments.
Originally from Long Island, New York, Ali now lives in Westchester County with her husband, Tim, and their two young children, Teddy and Ava. This is her first book.
