What Changes As We Work Together
You're the strong one. You show up, you hold it together, people count on you. From the outside, you're doing fine.
Inside, it's a different story:
- “He doesn't really see me.”
- “My kids have pulled away, and I don't know why.”
- “I'm always the one making the effort.”
- “Maybe I'm on my own.”
You've prayed. You've read the books. Maybe you've even done the counseling. You know God loves you — you just don't feel it where it counts.
You don't need to try harder. You need God's love to reach the place underneath. Here's what begins to change:
💞 Stop Letting Other People Push Your Buttons Like They Own the Remote!
Don't let other people live rent-free in your head!
Where you are now: “Why do I let this get to me?” He gets short with you, and your whole body tenses. A friend leaves you on read, and your mind runs all night. You replay the conversation. You rehearse what you should have said. They moved on hours ago. You're still living in it.
What changes: Your buttons stop working. You still care. But God's love heals the old hurt those buttons were wired to. You notice the reaction rising, and you stay steady. Their mood stays theirs. Your peace stays yours.
What this looks like in real life: He's upset, and you don't have to be upset with him. You say the honest thing from a steady place, not a desperate one. A comment stings for a minute, not a month. At night it's just you and God in there. Nobody else.
- You stay steady when someone is upset, distant, or disappointed.
- You stop replaying conversations and rehearsing comebacks.
- One hard moment doesn't steal your whole day.
- You like how you respond in hard moments, instead of regretting how you react.
You take back the remote and put it in God's hands.
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.” — Colossians 3:15
God wants His peace to rule your heart, not other people's moods, and He called you to live this way.
💬 “My emotions were all over the place. Now I'm steady and I'm at peace with the Lord.” Dena
🕊️ When Life Leaves You Hanging, Don't Let Your Peace Hang With It!
Stop feeling so anxious, find peace before you have answers, and stop bracing for the other shoe to drop.
Where you are now: “What if it all goes wrong?” You're waiting on an answer that hasn't come. A grown child's choices. Money. Your health. A marriage that isn't where you hoped. Your chest feels tight. Your mind won't shut off. You've prayed, and heaven feels quiet. So you brace. You plan for the worst so it can't surprise you.
What changes: The anxiety loosens its grip. Peace doesn't come from knowing what happens. It comes from knowing Who holds it. God heals the places that learned to always stay ready. Your body stops bracing, and you trust Him with the part you can't see yet.
What this looks like in real life: The phone rings, and your stomach doesn't drop. You wake up without that knot of dread. You still plan, but you stop rehearsing disasters. You enjoy today, even when tomorrow is unsure.
- You feel steady inside instead of anxious all the time.
- You have peace before you have the answers.
- You stop bracing for the other shoe to drop.
- You sleep through the night, even when life is unsettled.
You don't need to know how it ends to be okay right now.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6–7
God's will is for you to hand Him your worries and let His peace guard your heart, even before you have answers.
💬 “I feel restful, secure, embraced, and calm now. I don't get anxious and frustrated with my kids anymore.” Mariah
💗 Turn Down Your Inner Critic and Turn Up God's Love!
Stop blaming, shaming, and condemning yourself, and finally feel the compassion God has for you.
Where you are now: “What is wrong with me?” You give everyone grace but yourself. You're your own worst enemy. You beat yourself up over mistakes long after everyone else has moved on. When something goes wrong, the first voice says, “This is your fault.” You'd never talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself.
What changes: You stop being your own worst enemy. The critic was a scared part of you trying to keep you in line. When God's love reaches that place, the critic goes quiet. You learn you were never good because of the whip. Your thoughts fully line up with who God says you are: loved, forgiven, chosen, and His.
What this looks like in real life: You make a mistake and say, “That's okay. I'm learning.” You can say “I was wrong” without feeling like you are wrong. You treat yourself the way Jesus treats you. The voice in your head starts to sound like His.
- You stop beating yourself up and meet your mistakes with compassion.
- The shame spiral stops before it starts.
- You stop blaming yourself for what was never yours to fix.
- You see yourself the way God sees you, and you believe Him.
Your mind stops putting you on trial. Jesus already closed the case.
“Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one.” — Romans 8:33–34
God has already declared you not guilty, so His will is that no one condemns you, not even you.
💬 “I had a lot of self-condemnation and negative self-talk, but through the Academy I learned to let go, get closer to my husband, and embrace who I am.” Laurie
🪑 No More Begging for a Seat at the Table! You Already Belong!
Feel seen, loved, important, secure, and good enough in your relationships, without having to earn it.
Where you are now: “I'm always the one making the effort.” “I'm not a priority to him.” You want closeness, but you're afraid of getting hurt. So you over-give. You keep the peace at your own expense, or you pull away first. You're tired of performing and trying to earn love and acceptance in your relationships.
What changes: The fear of rejection heals at the root. You stop auditioning for love. You walk in knowing you belong, because God already pulled out your chair. You find your voice and set boundaries without fear of losing the people you love.
What this looks like in real life: You reach out because you want to, not because you're scared. Your friendships feel real, not earned. You can say no and still keep the relationship. When someone doesn't call back, you're still okay.
- You feel wanted without needing proof.
- You stop chasing, over-giving, and pulling away first.
- Someone's silence or opinion no longer decides your worth.
- People finally get to know the real you.
You stop begging for a seat. You already have one.
“In love he predestined us for adoption… in accordance with his pleasure and will… his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.” — Ephesians 1:5–6
It was God's pleasure and will to make you His own, so your place in His family is a gift you never have to earn.
💬 “I have a deeper relationship with my husband. We talk for hours together! When I am with people it's enjoyable, and I'm not needy anymore.” Darlene
✝️ Do All You Do Now, Without Carrying the Weight!
Live from God's rest, not for it. This is the root. The other four grow from here.
Where you are now: “If I don't do it, who will?” Everyone counts on you. You fix, plan, and carry. Underneath is a lie you may never have said out loud: “I'm on my own. I can't fully depend on anyone, not even God.” So you strive. You know God loves you. You just don't feel it.
What changes: God's love moves from your head to your heart. You learn what is yours to carry and what is His. For the first time, it feels safe to slow down. You stop working for His love and start living from it, as His daughter.
What this looks like in real life: You still get things done, without white-knuckling it. You love your grown kids without running their lives. You rest without guilt and let others help you. People say, “There's something different about you.” And the pattern passed down to you ends with you.
- You get things done from peace, not pressure.
- You rest without guilt, and you're still okay.
- You love people without feeling responsible for fixing them.
- You feel fully loved and enough because you're His, not because of what you do.
You clock out of the job you never applied for.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest… For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” — Matthew 11:28–30
Jesus isn't asking you to do less but to walk yoked with Him, where He carries the weight and you live from His rest.
💬 “I used to run around trying to get everything done and fix everyone around me, and now I am calm and content, resting in God. I no longer put the weight of the world on my shoulders.” Janine
That is what changes when God's love reaches the burdens underneath your reactions.
⬇️ Watch women share in their own words…
Every woman below is a real, unpaid client who experienced the power of the Christ-centered Set Free Method™. Your story could be next.
Susan — lightness, joy, and peace after narcissistic abuse
"Before I started this work I was depressed because I had been through so much narcissistic abuse. I've been walking through it for 5 months and now there's lightness in me. I'm so glad I didn't let the finances stop me, because God has (and always does) make a way."
Rosemary — feeling God's love in her heart, halfway through
"I got to uproot the problems and I brought God's truth from my head to my heart. My husband and kids see a difference in me. Before I was blind… and now I can recognize the lies because I have renewed my mind. I'm only halfway through and I've seen so much change!"
Janine — from constant fixing to calm, contentment, and rest
"I used to run around trying to get everything done and fix everyone around me, and now I am calm and content, resting in God. I no longer put the weight of the world on my shoulders. I'm patient, forgiving, and compassionate with myself."
Melissa — overcoming triggers, secure in her identity in Christ
"I would go into a downward spiral of depression and fear. Through this work I've learned how to overcome triggers. The whole experience exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend it to any woman wanting to feel more secure in her identity in Christ."
Rhonda — head knowledge to heart, loving without expectation

Tammy — inner peace, freedom, and confidence
"I have so much inner peace, freedom, and confidence. If I hadn't done this work I would still be wallowing in my past. If you are thinking about it, just do it — you will never be the same (in a good way)."
Simone — believing in herself, setting boundaries
"I was a big people pleaser. I've come so far… Now I believe in myself, I can set healthy boundaries, and I am filled with grace and peace. I can help my children with these things now."

Krista — finally learned how to wake up joyful
"Everything has exceeded my expectations. I am so skeptical about everything, and I never thought I'd be doing a testimonial — yet here I am. Just do it. Invest in yourself and get healing."
Susan — a million-dollar breakthrough
"I'm 62 and I've done a lot of therapy, and I've had the most breakthrough I've ever had through this work. I would have paid a million dollars for the breakthroughs I've had."
The Set Free Method™
What Working Together Looks Like

🙋🏼♀️ Meet Your Inner Healing Coach & Facilitator
Hi, I'm Alana Palm. I help high-capacity Christian women release the emotional pain, soul-striving, and survival patterns that keep them stuck — so they can live anchored in God's love, emotionally steady, and confident in their calling.
I am a Christian inner healing facilitator, restoration coach, educator, speaker, and founder of Wake Up Joyful. But more than that, I am a woman who has lived this journey myself. I know what it is like to smile on the outside while feeling burdened, unseen, or unhealed inside — and I know what it is like to let Jesus into those places and be set free.
✨ Why this matters so much: When one woman heals, it does not stop with her. It touches her marriage, her children, her home, her ministry, and her legacy. When a woman rests in Him, she carries His peace into the world around her.
🌍 My vision: To personally walk with 5,000 women through their healing, and reach 100,000 more through books, resources, and Spirit-led speaking — so the freedom of Christ multiplies in churches, homes, and communities across the globe.
💔 Women are hurting. ✝️ But Jesus is healing. 💫 And when women rest in Him… they wake up joyful.
These are the powerful results you can get with The Set Free Method™
Real messages from real women walking this journey with Alana.
I had two failed marriages and other unsuccessful relationships. I didn't believe in myself and I was a big people pleaser. I've come so far. I feel like a different person! Now I believe in myself, I can set healthy boundaries, and I am filled with grace and peace.
Kim
Before The Set Free Academy I was negative and never felt good enough. I felt I would NEVER get past those feelings. The Academy gave me the tools to find my voice, change the negative thoughts in my head, and go deeper with God than I ever expected. This has helped me more than the thousands I spent on therapy.
Wake Up Joyful Client
Nancy
This group has been life transforming for me! I lived in a constant pity party and now I am more peaceful, have personal power through Christ, and can lovingly process my feelings and thoughts. Healing doesn't mean being 'perfect.' It's having compassion for myself and using the tools I've learned each day.
Wake Up Joyful Client
Susan P.
Before I came into the Academy I was depressed and everything felt like doom and gloom. I wanted to BELIEVE the positive things other people said about me, but I couldn't because I had been through so much narcissistic abuse. Now I don't look at the world in black and white anymore. There's colour, there's lightness in me.
Wake Up Joyful Client
Janine
I used to run around trying to get everything done and 'fix' everyone around me, and now I am calm and content, resting in God. I no longer put the weight of the world on my shoulders. I'm patient, forgiving, and compassionate with myself. I've partnered with God to really change the negative narrative I had.
Wake Up Joyful Client
I don't carry the heaviness with me anymore. I have joy and lightness now! I've learned how to forgive myself for the choices I made, which helped me forgive and love others better. I now believe that I actually am who God created me to be, and I even see my children changing because I have changed!
Tammy
All my insecurities were affecting my relationship with my husband and I knew I needed to change, but didn't know HOW. I felt so hopeless. After learning the tools Alana teaches, my marriage has come such a long way! I think about who I am in Christ instead of who I think I 'need' to be to fit in with people.
Wake Up Joyful Client
Laurie
I had a lot of self-condemnation and negative self-talk, but through The Academy I learned to let go, get closer to my husband, and embrace who I am, so I don't give my power away to unhealthy people. You can't put a price on your life changing. It is so worth it!
