From Striving to Spirit-Led Freedom
You love God deeply. You’ve done the Bible studies, prayed the prayers, and tried to hold it all together. But inside, you feel exhausted – like you’re carrying a weight no one else can see.
I know that feeling, because I’ve lived it too.
For years, I smiled on the outside while silently battling shame, fear, and the pressure to perform. I thought if I just prayed harder, forgave faster, or tried to be “stronger,” I would finally feel free. But instead, my soul felt tired, my body held the tension of unhealed pain, and my faith felt more like striving than resting.
And then – God met me in the middle of my mess. He showed me what I couldn’t see before: healing doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from receiving more of His love. Slowly, He began to untangle the lies I had carried for years, heal the wounded places of my soul, and teach me how to live in true rest. That encounter didn’t just change my life – it became the foundation of everything I do today.
What I Discovered (and What I Want for You)
Through my journey, I discovered something life-changing: your soul doesn’t have to run the show anymore. You don’t have to be led by fear, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or control. You can be Spirit-led—rooted in God’s truth, love, and rest.
This is the heart behind The Set Free Method™ and the Spirit-Led Leadership Framework I teach. Together, we walk a 10-step path of transformation:
- Believing your worth is received, not earned.
- Learning that surrender is strength.
- Choosing rest as your weapon.
- Leading from identity before influence.
- Partnering with God in vision and purpose.
This isn’t about surface-level self-help. It’s about deep, Spirit-led healing that renews your mind, restores your soul, and anchors you in His peace.
A Little More About Me
I’m Alana Palm, founder of Wake Up Joyful and creator of The Set Free Method™. I’ve spent years weaving together biblical wisdom, trauma-informed tools, and Spirit-led practices to help women just like you release burdens, heal from emotional pain, and step into the life of freedom Jesus promises.
On a personal note, I’ve been married for 13 years and am blessed to be raising a beautiful pre-teen daughter. I know the juggle of family responsibilities while carrying a Kingdom vision. I also know the stretching faith it takes to uproot your life – I moved from Canada to Texas in obedience to God’s call. And I deeply understand what it feels like to wonder if true rest is possible when every part of you feels worn thin.
But I also know the joy of waking up light in my body, clear in my mind, and deeply at peace in God’s presence – and I want that for you too.
Why I Do This
I believe healing is not just for you – it’s for your family, your relationships, your legacy. When you walk in Spirit-led rest, you’re not only set free yourself – you become a ripple of God’s peace to everyone around you.
That’s why I’m here: to walk with you into freedom. To help you release the weight you’ve been carrying. To show you that you don’t need more willpower—you need to receive more of His love.
Because you’re not meant to just survive. You’re meant to live set free.
Statement of Faith
I Believe…
…that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, the final authority for truth, life, and faith. (2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
