Allana - Self-Care: For your Partner? Or for YOU!

Taking care of our presence, is certainly appreciated by our partner… yet it’s about honoring YOU. It says “I care about me and thus I’ll have the capacity to care about you.” It says that you are able to prioritize your life in a way that nourishes, celebrates and honors yourself… breeding self-respect, sex appeal and vibrant energy with which, to embrace life.


Sure, there are days when no one sees me. I have these yummy pink cashmere lounge wear pants and sweater… they are luxurious for a Sunday, yet I make a point to get dressed for work… even though I work at home. It’s my morning ritual of expressing my fashion style, of being funky or classy, sexy or saucy, sophisticated or sultry… whatever my mood… and it’s how I listen to my truth, how I allow my authentic expression to shine, and this ripples through my day.

I may be the only mom that works out during my son’s baseball practice, yet it’s how I make time to stay in shape. I love how I FEEL when my jeans fit, when I have strength to rough house with my son. I also love looking in the closet excited about what to wear instead of thinking I can’t fit into anything. I love how taking care of me gives me confidence to take new risks, make that phone call, make that proposal, say No when I mean it.


In fact taking care of me in body mind and spirit makes me a better receiver… I know my worth, I celebrate my uniqueness, I know when I need a good cry, a hot bath or to bed early as well. Self-care truly is self-love. And when you’re partner sees you feeling great, looking great, not only will it turn them on physically, it will awaken in them the same self-love and respect you are embodying.


If for some reason it doesn’t, they are simply triggered by your willingness to put yourself first. Don’t judge them if they tease you or try to bring you back to your old level. Instead, with a tempting coy sexy smile, invite them to the world of self-care, self-love… no need to resist them or use it as an excuse to give up on you… sometimes people take a while to catch on. The main thing is YOU are on your game and give them non-judgmental space to join you in the possibilities. If you need getting through the fire so that these new habits stick and your relationship is stronger than ever, give a call and let my coaching support you to create lasting delicious change.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

Morgana - Your Wealth is in Your Weirdness

When I first became a life coach I was really concerned about being taken seriously, sounding professional, and not looking like a freak. Not much has changed: I still care about all that stuff. But I discovered over time that the more professional and non-freaky I try to sound, the more INVISIBLE I become. The minute I start to talk like a professional coach and go into one of those elevator speeches I spent so much money to learn (you know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?)… I can see the other person’s EYES GLAZE OVER before they start scanning the room for someone more interesting. I can’t begin to tell you how annoying that is. Then one day, years ago, I stood up at a large networking meeting of high powered female entrepreneurs, pulled out a magic wand and called myself a “witchy” coach, and said something about how “goddesses can be old or young, thin or fat, can do what they want, charge what they want (and Aphrodite sleeps with whomever she wants, and no one dares...
