Dr. Alexandra Swenson-Ridley, the Founder of Emergent Women Enterprises LLC, is an internationally recognized speaker, author, podcaster, thought leader and mentor to high achieving women. Her thought leadership and studying of the connection between women's hormones and work-life balance led to the coinage of the term Selfless Syndrome and Dr. Alex being known as "The Selfless Syndrome Mentor".

She is the host of the Selfless Syndrome Show, an internationally ranked podcast, and author of the book Selfless Syndrome-The Key To Transforming Your Hormones & Getting Your Energy Back. 

Her thought leadership is grounded in the holistic reality of everything being connected, and the saying “it's not the hormones, it's their environment”. This means the journey to balance involves healing your inner world, in addition to your outer world. Through speaking, workshops, seminars, facilitating masterminds and writing, she helps women leaders take the focus off the shiny objects and instead look within first.
