Alice Foeller lives in Columbus and Westerville, with frequent trips to Athens, Ohio. Her two boys have completed some college and are exploring career paths.
Alice grew up in Columbus with her parents, one brother and two sisters. She left home to attend Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., and built her journalism career in the Chicago area. She remained in suburban Chicago until 2005, when she moved back to Columbus so her children could be closer to their extended family.
Alice was married to David Hohl, the father of her children, for 16 years.
Alice was partnered with the late Daniel Benway for nine years.
Alice is a three-time Ironman triathlete, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and has published her first book entitled, “The Art of Compassion: Supporting Friends through Dark Times.”
A seasoned public speaker, Alice’s TEDx Talk was chosen as TED’s Editor’s Pick for 2025, and her book reached the Top 10 on Amazon in one of its categories.
Alice is seeking additional opportunities to speak on the topic of grief, especially for audiences who are curious how to “do better” when supporting friends or family through grief and trauma. Overcoming the experience of Daniel’s death by suicide opened up the opportunity for Alice to write and speak on this deeply emotional topic.
