Allana - Election Time Break ups: Heated Political Debates Under One Roof

It’s honestly wild to not be able to vote in my country because I’m not a resident and not in America because I’m not a citizen. Yet I vote with speaking, acting and generating what’s true for me whenever I choose to.


So to imagine a household with opposing views on the election under one roof while navigating the intense emotions and energy of the nation… hats off to you!


And yet it comes down to what every interaction comes down to… are we going to let another’s opinion of us, of life, of politics, of anything determine who you are? How you are? How you be?


I sure used to, especially when I was seeking their approval for my very existence… then a disagreement of politics or the color of my hair would set me off. Yet now that I’ve done core intimacy work with myself, other’s opinions are just that, opinions. I’m amazing even when people break their word I don’t get as enraged for I now have the courage to get clearer and clearer on the deal upfront instead of hiding from the risk of rejection, then creating the experience of betrayal for myself… when all along I had my head in the sand!


Wherever you have created an identity, as a Democrat, Republican, American, Canadian, even as a woman, man… on some level it blocks out or separates you from an entire world of possibility. Now I’m not saying don’t vote. VOTE! Be a stand for what is true for you! Yet in terms of any arguments under one roof about disagreements in views… recognize you’re choosing separation, which is creating the fight. Choose no point of view, just listen, allow and BE. Yup, takes practice, but totally possible…


Deliciously, Allana

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
