Alana takes her own personal experiences and delivers a message that anyone can use to help their growth. As a Mental Strategist she helps you turn your anxiety, laziness and negative focus into opportunity. She shares a bit of her own life’s challenges and the strategies she used to overcome them. As an author, radio show host, public speaker and certified life coach Alana Higginbotham can infuse her powerful, positive energy into your daily methods to enrich and elevate your life’s experience. She will give you the step and strategy to work through the head trash that’s keeping you on the other side of where you want to be. The Mental Strategist My background started off by simply building relationships with other women that were struggling. For some reason people are naturally drawn to tell me all about their challenges and secret heartaches. (including complete strangers) From a very young age I can remember helping teachers, family friends and other elders work through everyday issues with my wisdom and optimistic outlook on life. Having experienced challenges myself very early on in life, I used the tricks I had to come up with on my own to calm their fears and drum up the courage they needed to push a little harder. Fast forward years later and after being a student mentor in school and church, I found myself being offered a leadership position in prominent and successful women’s organization. With on-the-job training and experience I was able to sharpen my skills, find my most authentic voice and help change people’s minds and how they showed up in the world. Today, I am a wife, homeschooling mom and entrepreneur who help women and even some men to wake up to a life they can’t wait to live by using tools they already have. I’m so happy that you’ve made the decision to begin something new that can change your something old to something beautiful. If you take my hand we can do this thing together and make an advance toward your forever. Welcome to the journey, Alana
