Getting your Sh*t Together

Welcome to this little package of podcast goodness, that will help you understand why - despite all these amazing opportunities our generations of women are having - it can also feel so pressurised and hard.

As you will hear in my first conversation with Sile Seoige, one of my mantra's is "When it feels hard, it's usually because it is hard. So now ask yourself, what do I need to support myself through it?"

That's the part many women forget! We're so good at supporting and caring for others, but feel unable to do the same for ourselves.

I hope in these conversations, you really learn how to change that (with no scented baths being recommended). I give practical advice, and tell real stories of women I coach.... and yes there are more than a few "I should get that printed on a T-shirt" moments!

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.

Because 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.

My work as a coach is specifically done through the lens of the context of women's lives today with all its possibilities and all its pressures. I write self-support books for women because when you thrive, everyone in your life does better.

My coaching and writing stems from what I wish someone had offered me when I hit my own wall and crossroads.

I'd love to help you fight for you amid the mayhem.

Getting Your Sh*t Together

In Episode 1 -

We talk about why we are the unique generations of women traversing the transition from an old patriarchal system towards one of equity.... but we're not there yet. How does that impact women? We talk about the messages we received that make us put everyone else first - and how to change them. We talk about grief, loss, love and living as though we are always becoming.

In Episode 2 -

We focus specifically on women facing overwhelm as they navigate all their roles and responsibilities as well as the many and multiple experiences and bodily transitions that affect us. I explore what I call The Quadrant of Chaos - the 4 "over's" that sap so much of our energy and time - the practical overload, the mental overwhelm, the emotional over-responsibility and the overbearing mind-f*ckery of messaging telling us how we "should" behave. I give practical support on how to handle it.

In Episode 3 -

We talk about the importance of women investing in the fun-damentals of life - fun, friendships and being rather than just doing

In all three episodes I explain why we can feel the way we do, and give practical ways to overcome it.
