This isn't just the overwhelm or feeling lost.
It's the mindf*ckery of being taught to be responsible for everyone else's happiness.
That's where the guilt kicks in. Why the resentment builds. How the overthinking stops you making the right choices for you.
I'll help you elbow your way back into your own life.
With boundaries that stick, clarity that cuts through, and choices that are finally yours.
I help women dismantle the mindf*ckery holding them back, so they can find more balance, direction and joy in their lives. You'll reclaim your energy, your direction and your sense of self.
How I can support you this summer...
Summer doesn't have to be about reinventing your life.
Sometimes it's simply about creating a little space to hear yourself think again.
Whether you want a quiet moment to reflect, a coaching conversation, or something to dip into while you're sitting in the garden or by the pool, here are a few ways I can support you this summer.
Fancy a good summer read?
Midlife, redefined.
If you're lying by the pool, sitting in the garden or stealing twenty minutes before everyone else wakes up, I'd love my book to keep you company.
It's practical, honest, funny in places and full of the tools I use with my coaching clients.
Looking for small daily shifts?
Illuminate.
My guided journalling helps you reconnect with yourself in just a few minutes each day.
No pressure. No writing essays. Just thoughtful prompts to help you think more clearly, make better choices and build a life that's yours.
Need a quick reset?
Breakthrough Empower Hour
One focused coaching session to untangle what's going on in your head and leave with real clarity and a plan.
Perfect if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or standing at a crossroads.
Thinking ahead to September?
My signature group coaching programme My Midlife, redefined - A Practical Reset opens again in August, with the programme beginning in September.
If you've been reading my newsletters and thinking "I really need to do something for me..." this is it.
The programme is designed for women who are ready to stop carrying everyone else's life quite so heavily and start creating one that works for them too.
Joining the waiting list means you'll hear first when places open (and you'll get all the details before anyone else).

Want change but not sure where to begin?
You're not alone! It's hard - maybe you’re overwhelmed, struggling or fed up. Or are you at an exciting new stage and want to start living life on your terms?
But your brain is so full of To-Do's, shoulds and overthinking, topped off by a lashing of guilt, you can't cut through the Blizzard Brain to find the clear skies.
Officially I'm a certified women’s life and leadership coach, motivational speaker and best-selling author. Unofficially, I'm a midlifer, brain untangler, and bullshit-cutter-through-er, helping women like you break through the bullsh*t and figure out what you need (and how to live it).
It’s not about being more productive.
It’s about feeling more empowered.
More balanced.
More like you.
This is how I help...
Because there is a lot of unlearning from that social training, and a bit of reconnecting back to yourself, I've developed this transformative coaching process -
Know Yourself → Believe in Yourself → Back Yourself
- We’ll take a clear, compassionate, and no-nonsense look at your life as it is right now.
- We’ll redefine what success really looks and feels like for you.
- We’ll name and challenge the limiting beliefs keeping you stuck.
- We’ll make space for new goals, better boundaries, and habits that feel good to live with - not just to tick off.
I'll help you build the life you actually want to live.
One that’s Better, Bolder, Brighter - and built on your terms.

Hey there!
I'm Alana
Hello lovely,
I’m a cheerleader, champion and warrior for women like you.
(Because I am a woman like you!). I know how ambitious we women are for ourselves, yet we're often operating in a system that still expects us to be all things to all people. As a result, we risk overwhelm, guilt, imposter syndrome and people-pleasing perfectionism every day.
This is the context in which women live their lives today. And it’s the framework for my coaching, which is a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience (I’ve quite the backstory!).
My mission is to give you the life-long knowledge, skills, tools and confidence you need to live a better, bolder, brighter life that is brimming with self-investment and potential. Yahoo!

You might laugh, you might cry, you'll certainly see yourself, but most of all I hope you will know you are not alone.
