Our Story

We’re Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher — Master Embodiment Coaches and co-founders of Awaken the Muse. 

 

On paper, we had it all — seven-figure businesses, TEDx talks, best-selling books, power-couple lives, and global influence. But inside? We were stuck in overdrive, disconnected, anxious, and burnt out from constantly proving, achieving, and pushing.

So we chose a different path. One that brought us back home to our bodies, our truth, and our joy. We became the Muses of our own lives — and now we teach other women how to do the same.

Alexi Panos

Named by Forbes and INC. as a top entrepreneur changing the world, Alexi Panos built her legacy on transformation. 

 

She has 15+ years of experience creating and leading global embodiment trainings (The Bridge Method), writing bestselling books, hosting a top ten podcast (WOMAN) and she’s coached the best of the best in the expert industry.

Having 4 kids in 4 years with her fellow powerhouse husband (Preston Smiles), they built an empire of impact and family. But behind the scenes of a successful career and vibrant family life, Alexi hit her limit. Chronic stress, disconnection from her body, and a loss of aliveness led her to her own deep unraveling.  When her marriage was at the brink of divorce, she knew something had to radically shift. 

Through nervous system attunement, somatic expansion work,  and deep layers of trauma healing, she reawakened a sense of radiance and aliveness that no amount of achievement could offer.

 

Today, her work in both Muse and The Bridge Method is rooted in helping people feel safe in their bodies again — so they can live from their wholeness-fully expressed, lit from within, and liberated from the inside out, so they can create a life that feels as good as it looks.

Emily Gallagher

Certified life & embodiment coach, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of Muse

 

For over 13 years, I’ve coached thousands of ambitious women through my programs, private mentorships, and global events—guiding them through the complexities of modern life, love, and leadership, while helping them reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their feminine essence. 

But this work is deeply personal to me. After building my first company, Conscious Boss, into a seven-figure enterprise, I found myself burned out and disconnected from my own aliveness. Like so many women, I was driven by deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and hyper-vigilance—patterns that led to my outward success, but also into anxious, unfulfilling dynamics in love. Underneath the surface, I was chasing emotionally unavailable men, outsourcing my worth, and abandoning my own softness.

My journey through heartbreak, nervous system healing, and learning to soften into my feminine changed everything. It inspired me to shift my entire focus toward what creates lasting, sustainable transformation, so women can still have it all—but in a way that’s embodied, nourishing, and deeply intimate.

Through Muse and my private 1:1 work, I now help women unravel old protective patterns, build secure and magnetic relationships, and create luscious, turned-on lives that feel vibrant and true—inside and out.
