Meet Ali Grey

Ali Grey is a child-development researcher, parenting coach, author, and devoted mother who refused to let screens raise her own child. Drawing on her studies of how excessive screen time reshapes attention, sleep, creativity, and family bonds, she now helps families unplug from digital overload and reconnect with the moments that matter most. Through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and speaking events—built on her signature work, the Unplugged Family series—she gives parents practical, evidence-based, guilt-free tools to raise focused, creative, and deeply connected children.

At home she lives every principle she teaches: phones in the kitchen basket at dinner, mandatory outdoor adventures, and a living room that looks like a craft store exploded in the best possible way. In her spare time, she writes exciting psychological suspense novels—her secret pastime that proves a vivid imagination thrives just as beautifully on the page as it does in real-life play forts and flashlight story hours. Ali, her family, and their ever-growing collection of secondhand board games currently live wherever the next unplugged adventure takes them.
