My guest today is Alana Carvalho.
Alana is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping parents, couples and individuals build balanced relationships by releasing old patterns and becoming more authentic.
She is especially passionate about helping individuals see how healing codependency and perfectionism can lead to a more joy filled life.

What does Joyful Courage mean to you?
For me it’s exactly what we’re talking about. It’s pushing yourself to grow in these uncomfortable ways and doing it knowing that’s what brings joy into life and relationships, by pushing out of your comfort zone and taking a look at yourself.
