This isn't just the overwhelm.
Â
It's the mindf*ckery of being taught to be responsible for everyone else's happiness.Â
That's where the guilt kicks in. Why the resentment builds. How the overthinking stops you making the right choices for you.Â
I'll help you elbow your way back into your own life.Â
With boundaries that stick, clarity that cuts through, and choices that are finally yours.Â
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.Â

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.Â
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).Â
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 -Â
Â
Know Yourself → Believe in Yourself → Back Yourself
Â
- 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.Â

Hey there!
I'm Alana
Hello lovely,
I’m a cheerleader, champion and warrior for women like you.Â
(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.   Â
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!). Â
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!Â
