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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
