In this episode of “Surviving to Thriving: Overcoming My Darkest Moment,” I talk with Relationship Intimacy Expert, Allana Pratt who inspires open-hearted, unapologetic living with delicious sass. With an alcoholic father and co-dependent mother, Allana grew up looking outside herself for safety. Then, when faced with two premature deaths of loved ones, she saw two paths: shut down or keep an open heart. Her choice for the latter helped Allana through the even darker moments ahead, where she has been able to look for the gift and shine in the face of it all.

Allana Pratt is a featured weekly contributor on the GoodMenProject, expert on CBS, TLC, FOX, Forbes, People and Huffington Post, this cum laude graduate of Columbia University is the author of four international books, and coached Leeza Gibbons during Dancing with the Stars. Host of the sexy empowering Podcast “Intimate Conversations” to guests like Grammy Award winning Alanis Morissette, over 2.7 million viewers on Youtube look to Allana when struggling to trust again after a harsh breakup.
