Life today asks us women to do, and remember it all.
📝 The practical to-do list.
🙇♀️ The invisible mental load.
🤗 The emotional caring.
😇 The lifelong pressure to be the “good girl.”
No wonder overwhelm can feel constant.
And the worst part? That crushing sense that you have no choice. No power. No way out.
But overwhelm isn’t who you are. It’s just a state you’re in. And states can change.
With The Balance Barometer, you’ll:
-
Spot your warning signs before you hit breaking point.
-
See clearly which state you’re in - and how to recognise yourself in each.
-
Understand your patterns across work, relationships, health, and self-care.
-
Take back control with small shifts that bring you back toward balance.
This isn’t another heavy workbook. It’s a light, visual reference tool you can keep handy - your personal early warning system to stop overwhelm taking over.

Who Am I, and Why Am I Talking About Overwhelm?
Hi, I’m Alana Kirk - midlifer, brain untangler, and bullshit-cutter-through-er.
As a coach, author, and speaker, I’ve helped hundreds of women hit pause on the chaos, figure out what they really want, and go after it with calm, clarity, and courage.
I know overwhelm because I’ve lived it - single parenting, double-jobbing, triple-buggying, and juggling the sandwich years of kids and ageing parents. I’ve festered in resentment and I’ve flourished in ambition.
Women today lead multi-layered, multi-pressured, multi-roled lives. The only way to thrive is to clear away the external noise and tune into your internal voice and choices.
That’s why I created The Balance Barometer - a simple, powerful tool to help you spot where you are on the overwhelm spectrum, so you can step out of reaction mode and back into balance.
Because when you thrive, everyone in your life does better.
As a coach, speaker and author, I love what I do. Talking about this work for warrior - sometimes wilting - women is my happy place. Here are a few recent conversations I’ve had:
