Hi, I’m Alana.
I’m a life and business coach that weaves nervous system capacity, emotional regulation and subconscious mindset work to create the deep sense of embodied safety required to heal and grow.
You’re in the right place if you consider yourself a mindset expert:
You have all the best tools,
You get how your thoughts create your results,
You know how to take ownership of your actions…
…and yet somehow the same feelings keep popping up, no matter how much thoughtwork you do…
Maybe you beat yourself up (I should get this by now…) ,
Maybe you feel shame,
Maybe you experience imposter syndrome or a sense of frustration that despite all the work you’ve done, you just can’t get past this.
When we get stuck in thoughtwork it’s because we are overusing our rational minds and not allowing the other parts of ourselves to join our team.
The truth is emotions aren’t neutral - they are benevolent.
Every single one.
Because all emotions come up to deliver messages to us:
they are clues showing us how we want to grow,
rumble strips telling us when we are going off course,
and a direct connection to our intuition
We are not floating brains and we were never meant to only use our minds, all parts of us have a role:
Intuition: decision maker
Mind: implementer of decisions
Emotions: indicator of alignment in decisions
Body/nervous system: the “office space” where the work can happen. Without a flexible, regulated nervous system, there’s too much chaos for the “employees” to do the work they want to do.
When we try to use the mind to make decisions, and force our body or intuition to conform to the mind’s ideas, we run into trouble.
When we stay only in our internal world and don’t use the mind’s amazing ability to brainstorm, plan, analyze and evaluate, we run into trouble.
When we beat ourselves up for having negative emotions instead of using them as benevolent allies, we run into trouble.
When we override our capacity in order to do what our mind wants to do, but our body can’t in that moment, we run into trouble.
Who YOU are, isn’t any of these individual parts,
You’re the consciousness behind them.
You’re like the CEO in a room full of your employee selves, and your job isn’t to change anything about the way your mind, intuition, emotions or body work, vilify them, or “fire” them,
Your job is to assign the right employee to the right job.
If you’re finding yourself:
- Judging yourself,
- Disconnected from your intuition,
- Resisting your emotions,
- Forcing yourself to do things in order to get things done,
There’s tension or negligence between the employees and the boss.
And for a company to be successful, there needs to instead be acknowledgment, appreciation and trust.
When we work together, creating this will be super simple:
All it takes is a few steps like checking everyone’s job description and then letting each part do what it’s best at.
