If you’ve ever felt lost and trapped in your career, frustrated with the life you’re living, stuck in a state of struggle and maybe even–like me–haunted by the fear of unfulfilled potential, then you’re definitely in the right place. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and then burned it–a few times over.Hi! I'm Alana. I'm a certified Career & Success Coach and Graphic Designer in Canada. I can’t wait to share stories from my deep dive into personal development work, careers, coaching, energy healing, waking up to toxic societal programming (yes, I’m going there) and the path back to my intuition, the place I desperately needed to be but, of course, resisted.
