Coaching for a better, bolder, brighter life.

Women’s lives today are bursting with possibility yet also brimming with pressure. 

I'll show you how to manage the pressures, and explore and embrace the possibilities so you can live the life you want, with balance, an empowered sense of self, and joy. 

This isn’t life coaching with a side of fluff. 

This is bold, practical, brain-clearing clarity - backed by shift-provoking tools, a coach who gets it (because I'm in it) and zero bullsh*t.

You walk in overwhelmed, confused or at a crossroads.
You walk out motivated, empowered and with a plan.

Sounds Just What I Need!

Coaching for a better, bolder, brighter life.

It might be that you’re overwhelmed, struggling or fed up.

Or perhaps you want change but aren’t sure where to begin? Or are you at an exciting new stage and want to start living life on your terms?

Sounds Like Me




Want change but not sure where to begin?

Maybe you’re overwhelmed, struggling or fed up. Or are you at an exciting new stage and want to start living life on your terms?

I’m Alana, officially a certified women’s life and leadership coach, motivational speaker and best-selling author. Unofficially, a midlifer, brain untangler, and bullshit-cutter-through-er, helping women like you manage the pressures and actually embrace the possibilities.

Through 1:1 and group coaching, talks, and writing, I help you cut through the noise, reclaim your time and energy, and build a life that feels easier, more joyful, and rooted in who you are - not who you’re supposed to be.

It’s not about being more productive.
It’s about feeling more empowered.
More balanced.
More like you.

Because you deserve a life that works for you - not just one you work so hard to hold together.

Fancy a better, bolder, brighter life?

 

Sometimes, you just need a check-in.  To say hello to yourself and remind yourself you're actually there as a woman, not just a To-Do List Ticker-Offer. 

So download my FREE My Better, Bolder, Brighter Life exercise check-in and spend a moment on you. 

Oooooh, I want to say hello to myself!

How I Can Help

Using my transformative coaching process - 

Know Yourself → Believe in Yourself → Back Yourself

- we’ll take a clear, compassionate, and no-nonsense look at your life as it is right now.

We’ll redefine what success really looks and feels like for you.
We’ll name and challenge the social conditioning and limiting beliefs keeping you stuck.
We’ll make space for new goals, better boundaries, and habits that feel good to live with - not just to tick off.

I'll help you build the life you actually want to live.
One that’s Better, Bolder, Brighter - and built on your terms.

Midlife, redefined: better, bolder, brighter

I wrote the book I had needed to read when I had to invest back in myself. 

You'll learn how to get a grip on where you are, and plot the course you want to take, because midlife isn’t a destination, it’s an exploration.  You will draw your map of this new landscape, and with coloured markers at the ready, you’ll write the signposts to take you on a midlife mission of your choosing, a redefined midlife; better, bolder, brighter. 

 

Sounds Just What I Need!
Hey there!

I'm Alana

Read my story  ➝

Hello lovely,

I’m a cheerleader, champion and warrior for women like you. 

Women who are ambitious for themselves yet operating in a system that still expects us to be all things to all people. As a result, we risk overwhelm, guilt, imposter syndrome and people-pleasing perfectionism every day.    

This is the context in which women live their lives today. And it’s the framework for my coaching, which is a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience (I’ve quite the backstory!).  

My mission is to give you the life-long knowledge, skills, tools and confidence you need to live a better, bolder, brighter life that is brimming with self-investment and potential. Yahoo! 

Remember, you’re not alone. With my unique approach, Know Yourself > Believe in Yourself > Back Yourself, you can make meaningful changes, connect to yourself and thrive. 

Subscribe to my weekly Substack newsletter to navigate the merry mayhem of being a modern woman today with all its possibilities, and all its pressures.

You might laugh, you might cry, you'll certainly see yourself, but most of all I hope you will know you are not alone.

"I recommend Alana 100% - she has a perspective on women's midlife challenges that comes from a lived experience.  I found her empathetic but yet able to challenge some of my rigid belief systems always with kindness. The assigned exercises really helped me to keep moving forward."
