It’s time to ditch the struggle

Discover the career move that aligns with your passion and potential, and take your next steps with confidence


Hi, I’m Alana.

I'm a certified Career & Success Coach for creatives and professionals who crave change in their work, but when it comes to how to get there, they keep falling short.

Are you craving change in your career, but have no idea what that looks like?

  • Deep down, it feels like you’re ready for more.

  • You have untapped potential, and your creativity is underappreciated (maybe even underpaid) at your current job.

  • You have so many skills and are a high performer, but you find yourself questioning the value you bring to the workplace.

  • High-level leadership positions sound appealing, but you break into a cold sweat at the thought of editing your resume to apply.

  • Hesitant thoughts play over and over: "I can't make a career change now. Maybe I should message that LinkedIn recruiter back and hope for the best..."

  • When you think about all of the energy you should be putting into your career, you end up feeling paralyzed (cue Netflix binge)

  • You wish someone could help you through the process, be your ally, advocate for your success, and support you with those big life decisions…

Trust me, you’ve landed in the right place.

With over 20 years of corporate, entrepreneurial, and creative experience, believe me when I say that I get it. I know what it's like to feel like your wheels are constantly spinning. I know the feeling of wanting to find a way out but not necessarily wanting to move up the corporate ladder (non-linear careers are my bread & butter!). I understand what it's like to want more out of your career, but at the same time, you have no idea what to do next.

What if I told you it doesn't have to be this way? 

What if I told you there's a way to truly ditch the struggle of feeling burnt out, underpaid, undervalued, and overwhelmed?

What if I told you that I can bring in a new perspective and show you that you already possess the skills to make a change in your career and feel fulfilled, and all you need is a strategy? 

I have a deep passion for seeing others succeed, and working with me means having access to powerful coaching techniques and strategies to take you from struggling and defeated to empowered and confident. 

Together, we'll build the bridge between where you are right now and where you want to go (even if that feels like a pipe dream right now). And have I mentioned that my process is unlike any other? We'll actually have fun along the way.

Radiating humor and honesty in my sessions, I coach clients to ditch the struggle, embrace their value, and hone in on their version of success.
