The Joy of Generosity: Aligning Money with Meaning with Allison Patterson

This week, I’m sitting down with Alison Patterson, a philanthropic advisor and coach who helps people bring more purpose and joy into how they give. What I love most about Alison is the way she takes generosity out of the “exclusive club” of the wealthy and makes it something that’s accessible, meaningful, and empowering for all of us—no matter where we are financially.

In our conversation, Alison and I talk about: ✨ How giving isn’t about how much money you have, but about aligning your resources with your values ✨ Why generosity can be a powerful way for women to step into confidence and leadership ✨ The role mothers can play in modeling generosity for our kids ✨ And how to move from reactive giving to intentional generosity that actually feels good

This conversation is such a refreshing reminder that giving isn’t about scarcity or obligation—it’s about abundance, joy, and meaning.
