We’re looking forward to introducing you to Alyise Jurell. Check out our conversation below.
Alyise, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, I’ve been finding joy in styling outfits and creating content that reflects who I am. It feels good to share my journey through fashion and inspire others along the way.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Alyise Jurell! I’m a plus-size model and fashion content creator passionate about showing that beauty, style, and confidence have no size limit. Through my brand, JurellTheNew & Alyisecreates. I share fashion inspiration while also highlighting my journey of living with Multiple Sclerosis. What makes my story unique is that I use fashion not just as self-expression, but as a way to inspire others to embrace their own bodies and dreams. Right now, I’m focused on growing my platform, building meaningful collaborations, and creating space for conversations around body positivity and disability awareness in the fashion world.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that really shaped me was when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It forced me to slow down, reevaluate what truly matters, and taught me to appreciate strength, resilience, and gratitude in ways I never had before.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, there were times my health challenges and self-doubt felt overwhelming, and I questioned if I should keep pushing. But my faith, my purpose, and the desire to inspire others kept me going. Those moments actually reminded me why I started in the first place.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What truths are so foundational in your life that you rarely articulate them?
I believe that self-worth isn’t defined by what others see, that faith can carry you through the hardest moments, and that resilience often comes from the challenges we least expect. I don’t say it out loud much, but these truths quietly guide everything I do.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. I’ve learned that giving my best isn’t about recognition—it’s about integrity, growth, and knowing I showed up fully for myself and my goals.
