Q&A with Alyson Seligman

In 2010, Long Island native Alyson Seligman launched her blog, The Average Girl’s Guide, to share her shopping finds and product reviews and to foster a community of women intent on living their best lives. When she contracted transverse myelitis, a rare and debilitating neurological disorder, that same year, it didn’t stop the unflappable redhead from opening her own public relations company, The SBS Agency, whose clients include the City of West Palm Beach. This month, she rebranded her blog as Modern Savvy, a new and improved platform that connects women through topical tips like style advice and home improvements. Today, she enjoys traveling, volunteering, and spending time with her husband and two children at their home in Palm Beach Gardens.
