We, here at Kuel Life, are excited to bring her expertise to our Kuel Community. Allana’s style: a straight-shooter, no holds bar, swear word thrown in on occasion; showcases her passionate devotion to helping women and men reclaim their joy, freedom and personal power.
Sometimes, and I know I fall prey, we focus on the negative. We are more likely to pay attention to the RED Flags that come up in our relationships. Knowing what those are is useful but here Allana opens up our minds to looking for and identifying the GREEN ones. Allana showcases a primary Green Flag of interdependency rather than co-dependency in her video clip below. Having a partner that lets you stay true to yourself is key to a healthy relationship. Approval and self-worth must come from inside and not from our partners. Intimacy, first and foremost, resides within. If you are in a relationship and still have your own friends, keep your own exercise routine, participate in hobbies that you are enthusiastic about then that is GREAT NEWS! Green Flags – all the way.

When you and your partner:
