Know a woman who needs more than a scented candle?

Sometimes we just need more light.

Do you have a pal going through a divorce?

A sister who’s at the coalface of life right now?

Or maybe your wife is stepping into her next stage now the kids are finally flying the nest?

This is the present that packs a punch.

The thought that gets her thinking (about herself).

The gift that keeps giving long after Christmas is over.

My Breakthrough Empower Hour is a 60-minute, no-nonsense coaching session designed to cut through the noise, clear the mental fog, and get her back on track.

Whether she’s overwhelmed, at a crossroads, or gearing up for her next big chapter

- this is the space where she gets clarity, direction and a proper oomph in her step.

✔ 60 minutes of powerful 1:1 coaching
✔ Practical moves she can take immediately
✔ A reset, a re-route, a confidence reboot
✔ Voucher valid for 3 months, so she can book it when she’s ready

Give her something better than another bloody candle.

Give her the session that could change her year. ✨

ILLUMINATE 2026

A 365-day journal adventure of

curiosity, clarity and becoming

What if 2026 became the year you stopped sleepwalking through midlife…
and started living it with eyes wide open?

This is not just journaling.

It’s an adventure

- a daily companion to help you reconnect, recenter and redefine

who you are and who you’re becoming.

No pressure.
No perfection.
Just five intentional minutes a day that will quietly change everything

Yes! 2026 is my year!

Why ILLUMINATE?

Because midlife is not a crisis. It's an awakening.

A moment to step out of the mayhem and ask:
What do I want my life to feel like now?
What matters to me most at this stage?
Who am I beneath the roles, the noise, the expectations?

ILLUMINATE 2026 gives you a guided way to find out.

Through small, meaningful prompts, you’ll create space for reflection, clarity and self-connection - the stuff midlife is calling you into.

Small daily prompts. Big lifelong shifts.

Is this for you?

This workshop is for midlife women who are:

✔ Overloaded

Your days are full but not always fulfilling.

✔ Overwhelmed

Your brain never stops; your body is exhausted.

✔ Over-responsible

You carry far too much of the emotional, invisible and practical load.

✔ Over-it

You know something has to change - you’re just not sure what or how.

✔ Ready for clarity

Not a makeover.
Not a transformation plan.
Just a way back to yourself.

Women who maybe don’t have time for journalling - but desperately need a way to check in with themselves.

Women who want 2026 to feel real, nourishing, grounded, and aligned.

Women who want to stop ghosting themselves.

If you want 2026 to feel different - calmer, clearer, more grounded - this session is your beginning.

Your ILLUMINATE Framework

Participate. Articulate. Elevate.

Participate - in your own revolution

For years, your energy has gone outward to family, work, relationships, responsibilities.
This year, you choose you.
You participate in your own life again.

Articulate - your real sense of self

Through daily prompts, you rediscover who you are beneath the conditioning, the roles and the expectations.
You name your needs.
You write your truth.
You reconnect to the you behind the noise.

Elevate - your own wisdom

As your clarity grows, so does your capacity to choose differently, respond intentionally and live from your centre.
You elevate how you think, feel and move through your life.

This is not self-improvement.
This is self-illumination.

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.

Journaling has changed my life because the goal is not to be happy 100% of the time. Your goal in life - especially midlife - is to navigate a wide range of emotions, experiences and change while staying connected to yourself.

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.

This adventure is not about pages of perfect writing, or another chore to add to your "wellness" routine - it's a daily reminder to check in and an on-going conversation with yourself. It can take minutes and words or longer - you decide on any given day.
