Allana - Letting Go of Frustration and Self-Judgement While Shooting a Pumpkin!

Once on the farm, you’d think Gabe was born there. Smell didn’t bother him. Total natural with animals and climbing all over the barn in the hay. He was RIGHT in the pen with TONS of cows, in his rubber boots, guiding them into the milking station… they are HUGE animals and yet he had no fear! He loved the horses (Mr. Wilson came right over to nuzzle me when I went for a walk in the stunning acres over rolling hills…yum). Gabe also loved the dogs and one farm cat Kitan in particular. He even shot a bibi gun. So did I! And a bigger gun. And a Bigger one! Nearly knocked me off my feet. Way up in the hills. I hit a pumpkin. LOVED it! I’m officially a red neck. Justice was my 17 yr. old mentor who taught me the rules of respect for the guns. He told me he has no idea how I can live in a city. He prefers nature and animals to people. Yet he’s got a huge heart and I loved my lesson and appreciated his patience! It was such a metaphor for life, when I was timid and not grounded, I misse...

Allana - How can husbands who are dads better communicate what they want from their wives?

Many moms are on empty, operating on fumes of giving too much and not taking Mom Time to replenish, unable to listen well, have healthy boundaries or ooze with confidence and sensuality. Thus Dads wanting to communicate and be heard by their wives need to support her in filling up. Watch the kids when she goes to yoga, and then hold her in bed and talk. Run her a bath while she’s putting the kids down and do the dishes while she soaks, then wrap your arms around her and talk. What is a man really thinking that he doesn’t say?  Most of my male Dad clients from around the globe are the same. They aren’t saying how unappreciated they feel. They have huge hearts, ashamed to reveal how hesitant and emasculated they feel, craving physical connection and timid to piss his wife off… again.  What is the need behind the man cave?  My male clients are go go go at work and once home are asked to go go go with the kids. (I know mom has been doing exactly the same!) He’s asking for transition t...

Allana - Not So Obvious Marriage Rules

After 15 yrs. as a relationship coach, two divorces and successfully sharing the do’s and don’ts on FOX, TLC, CBS, currently featured as the Intimacy Expert on The Ricki Lake Show and just booked for OWN’S Unfaithful docudrama… here are some unspoken marriage rules that are most successful when defined with clarity. 1. Flirting: Get clear on what flirting means to you both. Are you OK with him praising women in front of you? Does he have social media female friends that you don’t know that he flirts with? Does he have lunches or dinners with other women? What works and doesn’t work for each of you? What’s the deal? Be willing to ask, even if it’s uncomfortable. 2. In Law Issues: Again, what’s the deal upfront? Does family veto your vote or the other way around? Are you honored if you choose not to attend events or is he? Do you make decisions jointly or are you now expected to provide things you are not comfortable with? Unveil assumptions, ask questions, listen to your heart and w...

Allana - 5 Summer Secrets to Heal from Any Heartbreak

Heartbreak is heartbreak, whether death, divorce, losing a home, a job, a boyfriend, a pet… even turning 40 can feel like a loss of youth. Mix the emotions of the heartbreak with almost a societal pressure to be tanned, thin and hopelessly in love this summer…it can feel like too much to handle. Here are 5 secrets to heal from the heartbreak and be kind to yourself as you give yourself permission to be exactly where you are this summer. 1. Get Support Let’s say you have broken up with a lover, a boyfriend or have ended your marriage. This is huge. The person, who was normally there for you, isn’t. Thus it’s imperative you find a loving mentor, a coach, and a trusted unbiased friend, to support you, listen, get you, never fix you, and just hold space for you to be real. All too often we skip this step and get right back into another relationship before we’re healed and this rebound relationship rarely works out, leaving you even more heartbroken. 2. Release your Emotions Let’s say you...

Allana - Bonding Conversations with my Son’s Broken Finger!

by Host of Intimate Conversations, Allana Pratt So I’m learning so much about how aware my body is, how alive and conscious it is…and how it’s even MORE magnificent than I ever imagined! It’s like if I ask my MIND a question I tend to spin, analyze or come off with rational. Yet if I ask my body, the answer seems too grounded, clear and aware. So my son broke his finger at baseball. I just got him back today for the week, so as we were driving home from school, I had this amazing conversation WITH HIS FINGER. After years of reading Louise Hay, Carolyn Myss and Access Consciousness, I know our bodies are talking to us when they hurt, break, get sick etc. So Finger…what are you trying to tell us that we didn’t get, that you had to break to get our attention? WHOA… it was truly revealing what was shared, feeling overwhelmed, wanting more attention, angry that he doesn’t have more downtime. I asked his finger what would a more nourishing structure for my son be? The finger knew!! Then ...
