Are you setting boundaries… or just making deeply hopeful suggestions?
In this practical and eye-opening session, we’ll explore:
- What boundaries actually are
(and what they definitely are not) - The different types of boundaries
(yes, there are lots - and many are gentler than you think) - Why women find boundaries so difficult
- The hidden beliefs and fears underneath boundary struggles
- How to challenge the self-limiting beliefs making boundaries feel uncomfortable
- Where the biggest friction points are in your life right now
- How to apply boundaries practically, calmly, and clearly in real life
If the thought of saying “no” makes you instantly want to explain yourself for 45 minutes… this session is for you.
Because boundaries are not:
- selfish
- aggressive
- controlling
- punishments
- walls
- “being difficult”
Boundaries are:
- clarity
- emotional breathing space
- self-respect
- protection for your time and energy
- healthier relationships
- less resentment
- more honesty
- more peace
They are the bold, beautiful bastions of your emotional and physical space.
And when you finally understand them properly?
Everything changes.
Yes! I'm in!
Pour a glass of bubbles, kombucha or your favourite tea.
Kick off your shoes.
And give yourself an hour that is entirely about you.
Women are often conditioned to believe:
- good women cope
- good women don’t upset people
- good women are endlessly available
- good women keep the peace
- good women just “get on with it”
Which is exactly why so many of us feel so overwhelmed, resentful, emotionally reactive, disconnected from ourselves, and quietly furious half the time!!
Not because you’re failing.
Because you’re exhausted from over-accessibility.
If you’ve ever said “It’s grand” while internally plotting everyone’s disappearance… welcome.
This session will help you:
- stop abandoning yourself
- reduce resentment and emotional overload
- communicate more clearly and calmly
- reconnect with your own needs and instincts
- feel less reactive and more emotionally steady
- create more space, clarity, and peace in your life
And most importantly?
You’ll leave with at least ONE boundary you feel ready and excited to put into place immediately.
Not dreading.
Not apologising for.
Actually ready for.
Because this isn’t about becoming less kind.
It’s about becoming less depleted.

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 their chaos, figure out what they really want, and go after it with calm, clarity, and courage.
I get the overwhelm, the over-responsibility, and the pressure to keep it all together. I’ve singled parented, double-jobbed and triple buggied. I’ve been caught in the sandwich years of caring for parents and young children. I’ve festered in resentment and flourished in my ambitions.
And I know how important it is to pause amid the mayhem, take stock at the crossroads and check in to get back on track.
And that can be really hard. Women today lead multi-layered, multi-pressured, multi-roled lives…. And the only way to thrive is to clear away the external noise and figure out your internal voice and choices amid the mayhem.
Yes! I want a Spring in my Step!
