Alora Diary
Real stories. No filters.
A podcast about motherhood when life doesn't follow the plan. About the challenges and victories — big and small — when raising a child who is different.
Galya Walsh
Host
Mother of three. Co-founder of Alora. A working mom balancing career, therapies, gluten-free cooking, and chaos. Sharing from the heart — no perfectionism.
"I'm not a perfect mother. But I'm a mother who never stops trying — and I think that's enough."
— Galya
