If you’ve taken a Peloton class or turned on the Today Show, you probably know Ally Love - the energetic, engaging fitness instructor and influencer with a loyal #LoveSquad following. But not many know about the near-death experience young Ally survived, or how it shaped her outlook on life. For our final episode of She Pivots season three, Ally shares how that terrifying accident taught her a lot about herself and life; her time at the renowned dance academy, Alvin Ailey; her big break into Peloton; and her new partnership with Contigo as Chief Hydration Officer. She also gets real about the comparison game and how learning to be happy about others’ successes - and her own - has allowed her to embrace abundance and live a more joyful life.
