Part 2: From Vulnerability to Viral: The Ripple Effect of Self-Trust

I would love to hear what comes up for you. Send me a text message :)
Do you ever wonder if self-trust can really make a difference—or if it’s just another buzzword? Maybe you’re asking yourself, “What if I trust myself and fail? What if I end up making the wrong choice?”
I get it. I’ve been there too. But what if trusting yourself could create results you didn’t even realize were possible? In this episode of Cracked Open, I’m breaking down exactly how self-trust has created profound, real-life changes in my life, my relationships, and my business—and how it can for you, too.
Here’s how this episode delivers:
- Turning Fear into Connection – I share how self-trust helped me open up in my marriage, creating a deeper bond and level of intimacy I’d been yearning for (and didn’t even realize was already possible).
- Achieving Real Career Wins – Learn how trusting my inner voice led to tangible business results, including a viral Instagram moment, thousands of new followers, and my first $10K month—all without chasing trends or people-pleasing.
- Elevating Client Sessions – Discover how self-trust has sharpened my intuition, made my work with clients more powerful, and helped them trust themselves on a deeper level.
- Building the Right Relationships – I’ll show you how trusting yourself attracts the right people—clients, friends, and opportunities—effortlessly aligning you with your goals.
- Reclaiming Freedom and Joy – Find out why self-trust made my life feel lighter, more authentic, and even a little bit like “cheating” at personal growth.
This isn’t about “trusting yourself” as a nice idea—it’s about how it leads to actual results: stronger relationships, unexpected career breakthroughs, and a sense of alignment that makes life feel exciting again.
Still unsure? You’re not alone—self-trust can feel scary, especially if you’re used to second-guessing yourself. But by the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear sense of how to start trusting yourself in small, tangible ways—and the confidence to see what unfolds from there.

Imagine waking up one day, humming a tune in your shower, and realizing it has a profound message about liberating your mind.
That's exactly what happened to me.
I share a validation love note inspired by my friend's struggle to let go, focusing on stepping out of comfort zones, challenging societal norms, and breaking free from self-imposed limitations. We'll also touch on the power of fostering a culture of acceptance and support.
Have you ever wondered about the magic that could happen if we let our minds wander, dream, and imagine?
Join me as we explore this, drawing on the importance of self-reflection, compassion, and challenging our beliefs—the importance of surrounding ourselves with inspiring people and the community's role in mental liberation.

I would love to hear what comes up for you. Send me a text message :)
Have you ever felt like your feelings and experiences are dismissed or ignored? I'm kicking off the second season with a focus on something we all crave but rarely get enough of - VALIDATION.
As we move through this season, I'll be your guide, sharing my validation notes, little love notes reminding you that your emotions are valid, you matter, and you're not alone.
Each week, we'll explore how validation serves as a salve for self-doubt, insecurity, and isolation.
This season, we explore the importance of being seen, heard, and understood and how to navigate tricky emotional landscapes, testing situations, challenging relationships, and life's ups and downs. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram at @alannabankscoaching - let's embark on this validating journey together.
Healing the Younger Self

I created this hypnotic meditation for the members of my Embrace program, and I thought it would also be helpful to share with the larger community.
This guided hypnotic meditation is a powerful way to connect with your inner child and offer them the love and support they need to let go of the opinions and beliefs of others and normalize what being a kid is all about. It is a gentle and compassionate way to help you work through any unresolved emotions or traumas from your past and connect to your adult version.
This guided hypnotic meditation can help you find the inner strength and resources you need to heal and move forward. In addition, it is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to cultivate a greater sense of self-love and self-compassion.

I would love to hear what comes up for you. Send me a text message :)
Welcome back to Cracked Open. Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my life and opening up about what the last year has been like for me as I've leaned into self-trust. This episode is the first of a raw and honest three-part series filled with moments of clarity, powerful practices, and a whole lot of growth and freedom.
If you've ever felt lost, constantly looking outside yourself for answers, only to realize the validation you crave isn’t out there, you might want to stick around and keep listening.
I’m sharing the real, raw story of how everything changed when I finally chose self-trust over external approval. It wasn’t an easy path—letting go of what others think never is—but it was SO worth it. This shift opened the door to deep, unexpected transformation in my career, relationships, and myself.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll discover in this episode:
- The Moment of Clarity – How I realized that self-trust was the key to moving forward and why it felt like both a risk and a revelation.
- The Practices That Built Self-Trust – Simple, life-changing habits and a powerful exercise you can steal.
- The Surprising Results – Choosing myself led to career breakthroughs, viral moments, deeper connections, and a profound sense of freedom.
Please join me as I walk you through the practices and mindset shifts that helped me transform from feeling lost to truly found. Remember to subscribe—this is just part one of the series!
