196. Is it my fault? Alana Sharps

We have so much more power than we realize! We can choose what we believe and what we take on! Sometimes we give other people’s perceptions of us too much weight! You are not crazy! You don’t have to repeat generational patterns! You can get brave and liberate yourself from abuse! We don’t have to stay hurt, we can move forward and live an abundant life! Today Alana Sharps is speaking out against narcissism and breaking free from shame! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!

Alana Sharps is a multi-talented Business Strategist, Thought Leader, and Author. She is a graduate of North Carolina State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a certified Six Sigma enthusiast in process improvement. She has coached C-Suite executives through continuous improvement processes that aligned with business strategies, increased operational efficiencies, and yielded millions in corporate-wide cost savings.

Alana is also a survivor of a toxic marriage tangled in narcissistic abuse. As a result, she decided to pivot her technical expertise to a proven methodology for helping others overcome similar struggles. She is now a Certified High Conflict Divorce and Child Custody Consultant focusing on helping women get through the battle of post-separation abuse.

Battling a narcissist in family court is not an easy task and requires a unique skill set. Alana effectively prepares her clients for their tense legal battles with individuals who refuse to negotiate or collaborate. She does this by coaching through the four pillars of mindset growth, self-care, communication strategies, and evidentiary documentation techniques.

Alana’s journey from victim to survivor inspired her to make this type of support her life’s work. She has courageously captured her story of survival and resilience in her life-changing book “Was it My Fault?”. Her hope is that her clients and others will survive and thrive beyond their expectations.

When taking a pause from her passion to empower survivors, Alana serves the community in several non-profits. She is a board member for Time4Change of NC, a mentor for women in the HER Foundation, and a member of the National Society of Black Engineers. Alana is also the mother of three and resides in Raleigh, NC with her children and two dogs.
