Real Stories.
Real Resilience.
Ali Ingersoll writes the kind of stories most people are too afraid to tell—honest, messy, and unexpectedly funny. Her books dive into resilience, mindset, and what it actually looks like to rebuild when life doesn’t go as planned.
The Art of Being Pleasantly Persistent: Getting to Yes
In The Art of Being Pleasantly Persistent, Ali shares what really happens in the brain when you face resistance, friction, or rejection . . . and how to use that wiring to your advantage instead of letting it shut you down.
Unbreakable(ish): I Wasn’t Built For Boring
In Unbreakable(ish), Ali Ingersoll takes you on a wild, hilarious, and deeply real ride through a life that broke multiple times—then got rebuilt stronger until one minute, she was traveling the world—the next, she was paralyzed from the chest down, directing her own emergency rescue and questioning everything she thought she knew.
Hey, I'm Ali!
When a tragic shallow water diving accident left me a C6 quadriplegic, I turned my despair into something I could use: embracing my paralysis as a catalyst for transformation.
In doing so, I have tapped into unforeseen opportunities as a professional speaker, corporate disability consultant, and fierce disability advocate in my community.
In 2023, I was crowned Ms. Wheelchair America for efforts in changing landmark Medicare legislation, and in April 2024 I delivered my first TEDx Talk, “Keep Moving Forward: Embracing Adversity to Make You Stronger.”
Despite quadriplegia, I vow to Keep Moving Forward and now work with thousands of individuals to help them break free from psychological paralysis.
