Have you ever felt the weight of wearing so many hats — wife, mom, leader, entrepreneur—and wondered if you were truly balancing it all the way God intended? You’re not alone. 

In this episode of She Leads Boldly, I sit down with Dr. Alana, pharmacist, salon owner, founder of MBA Virtual Assistant, and mom of three. She’s a woman who knows what it means to live multidimensionally — juggling her faith, her family, and her business — without losing herself in the process. 

Dr. Alana shares how her leadership has always been rooted in faith, why prayer is her first strategy for clarity and resilience, and how she uses a simple but powerful “open tab” method to balance her career and calling without burning out. Most importantly, she reminds us that inviting God into the center of it all is the true unlock for peace, purpose, and alignment. 

If you’ve ever felt torn between your responsibilities and your dreams, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to choose — you simply need the right rhythm, the right faith focus, and the right tools. 

👉 Hit play, lean in, and let this episode encourage you to step boldly into your season of leadership — without sacrificing your well-being or the people you love most.
