from The Second Act with Michael and John · host Michael Newborn, John Ballenger

Ali Schroer, MSW, LCSW, C-PD grew up in California and Indiana, where early experiences navigating change and hardship sparked her passion for supporting others. Inspired by a deep love for children and a family legacy in mental health, she pursued a career in elementary education, only to realize that her true calling was in helping people with their emotional wellbeing. After witnessing firsthand the profound impact of stress on students and families, she transitioned into clinical social work, earning her master’s degree from the University of Denver and training at top institutions like Children’s Hospital Colorado. Combining over a decade of private practice experience with a bold vision to drive greater change, Ali pivoted once more into corporate mental health. She founded Mental Scope Consulting to bring evidence-based resilience and performance strategies to organizations and leaders. Today, she helps individuals and businesses navigate stress, burnout, and personal growth with a unique blend of compassion, practical tools, and a belief that struggling well is the key to thriving in work and life.
