The Summit Effect

We’re moving from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse, and in this episode we unpack what that actually means without the internet panic. This conversation breaks down Lunar New Year, eclipse energy, and the numerological 1 year in a grounded, human way — and explains how these cycles act as mirrors, not mandates. The real question isn’t “What massive change should I make?” It’s wheth...

In this episode, I answer the question I get asked by almost every client: “Why me?” Instead of diving into more facts, we talk about the cost of not listening to your body and how symptoms can be escalation, not betrayal. This is a conversation about root instability, sacral suppression, chronic stress, shrinking yourself to stay loved, and how to start reflecting on what your body might be askin...

This episode was originally meant to explore protection versus expansion in your energetic body. But as the world feels increasingly unstable — politically, socially, and morally — that conversation needed to widen. In this episode of The Summit Effect , we talk about what it means to lead from love instead of fear. Not as a spiritual bypass. Not as toxic positivity. But as an embodied, regulated,...

This is not the episode you think it is. This conversation is not about convincing anyone to sleep away from their partner, and it isn’t just for people considering a “sleep divorce.” It’s for any woman who feels exhausted, wired, foggy, emotional, or disconnected from herself and is trying to understand what her sleep is actually telling her. In this episode, sleep is treated as data, not a moral...

In this episode, intuition is explored through personal stories that only make sense in hindsight. The concept of “breadcrumbs” is introduced as the subtle moments, relationships, and experiences that quietly guide us toward our path. The episode breaks down the four clairs and shows how intuition has been speaking all along, even before there was language for it. Topics Covered  Connecting past e...

In this episode, the relationship between the nervous system and intuition is broken down through both science and lived experience. Chronic stress, sympathetic dominance, and lack of safety in the body are explored as the real reasons intuition feels quiet or inaccessible. Regulation is presented as the foundation for clarity, self-trust, and active participation in health and healing. In this ep...

If you’ve ever tried to understand intuition or energy and thought, “This feels too abstract,” you’re not alone. Most spiritual education jumps straight to the deep end without giving people the buy-in, grounding, or tangibility they need to actually use these tools. In Episode 1, Alanna explains why — and offers the starting point she wishes she had years ago. What you’ll hear: Why intuition and...

Welcome back to The Summit Effect. Funny enough, this episode drops on New Year’s Eve — a night basically synonymous with alcohol. So today, we’re diving straight into a question I get asked all the time … and one I personally wrestled with for years: Can you drink alcohol and still be on a spiritual path? Short answer? For most people — yes. But the why , the how , and the when matter more than a...
