Celebrating Life After Them

I help women rebuild after long-term relationships—not just by moving on, but by coming home to themselves.

Who am I now?
What do I want?
What does life look like after them?

I'm Dr. Alana Sharps, and if you've found your way here, you are in exactly the right place. I'm the founder and CEO of SurThrive Tribe, a community for women navigating life after divorce or long-term relationships. Through my signature program, Celebrating Life After Them, I walk alongside women, just like you, with strategy, tools, and a community that believes in what is possible for your life. You are not behind, you are not broken, you are just getting started.

Hey, I’m Dr. Alana Sharps, Your Tribe Sister.

As Seen On:

“Alana is very smart, competent and encouraging.” She has come along side me during my difficult divorce to a convert narcissist. I am in a much stronger position to battle for primary custody of my children, due to her encouragement to seek out different counsel.”

— Anonymous

“Alana has been an excellent resource and advocate for me during the most challenging situation I’ve encountered in my life. My husband left me with three children several weeks ago and I was able to consult with Ms. Sharps who has helped me see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that I am strong enough to get through this”

— Melecia

“I was feeling very overwhelmed by what I considered a lot of information, she (Dr. Sharps), not only helped me understand which information is helpful and how to identify it, but she also knew how to categorize every incident.”

— Veronica

Through Celebrating Life After Them, I help women reset their mindset, reframe their boundaries, and redesign what life gets to look like next.
