Pretty and Punk Podcast - A podcast by Ildiko Ferenczi and Dan Caldwell

Hollywood Mom, Celebrity Stylist, Influencer, and reality TV star Ali Levine’s passion for fashion has taken her from coast to coast and seen her work grace publications such as The New York Times and USA Today, as well as the shoulders of numerous Hollywood A-listers. Ali has a fashion merchandising and management degree, and her experience in fashion retail and television and film style have each contributed to the runaway success of the Ali Levine Design firm. Ali is a member of both the Motion Picture Costumes Local 705 and Design Guild 892 and an entrepreneur, a wife, and a devoted mother of three girls, the youngest of whom is just four months old.   Ali joins us today to share the joy of realizing that she can build connections in an entirely new way as a parent as a female entrepreneur with children and why other people find her more relatable these days. She discusses how she ended up getting in front of the camera and why one particular show helped her reconnect with her authentic self, reprioritize, and find harmony between work and personal life. Ali also shares what she does to stay current in her niche, expand her knowledge and find time to build her brand now that she is a mother   “Confidence is your best accessory” - Ali Levine   This Week on Pretty and Punk: How Ali landed her first job in big-name fashion retail straight out of college How she pivoted into fashion styling in the entertainment world Why was being named the ‘It Girl’ of the styling world felt like the icing on the cake Why Ali’s father is still one of her most important business mentors How Ali managed to balance her first pregnancy and her career despite the pregnancy being a surprise Ali’s experience of postpartum depression and why she decided to share her experience on her podcast What a day in her life looks life, and why she has to accept that she can't be supermom every day How Ali and her husband keep up their connection and her tips on ‘finding your moments’ The most crucial aspect of Ali and her husband’s parenting philosophy Advice Ali would give for creating your own brand   Connect with Ali Levine: Ali Levine Design website Everything with Ali Levine Podcast Ali Levine on LinkedIn Ali Levine Design on Instagram Ali Levine Design on Facebook Ali Levine Design on YouTube Ali Levine Design on Twitter   Connect with the Pretty and Punk Podcast: Pretty and Punk Website Pretty and Punk Podcast on Facebook Pretty and Punk Podcast on Instagram Spicy Lil Pepper on Instagram Punk Ass on LinkedIn
