About Us

Our own journeys from having it all... to finally becoming it all.

We’re Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher — Master Embodiment Coaches and co-founders of Awaken the Muse. For over a decade, we’ve supported thousands of high-achieving women in reconnecting with their deepest truth, feminine power, and embodied expression.

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’s Journey

When Achievement Isn’t Enough

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’s Evolution

The Sacred Shift Into Softness

After building her company Conscious Boss into a seven-figure brand and coaching thousands of women, Emily Gallagher realized she was living in constant overdrive. Beneath the polished exterior was a deep sense of inadequacy, tightness, and control.

Burnout cracked her open. What followed was a powerful reclamation — healing her relationship with her body, softening into true feminine magnetism, and finally releasing the grip of proving and perfectionism.

Through her work in Muse, she helps high-performing women create intimacy with themselves, align their lives with pleasure and purpose, and lead from wholeness — not hustle.

Start Your Journey Back Home

It’s time to come home — to your sensuality, your sovereignty, your soul.

If you’re feeling the pull — to soften, to surrender, to finally feel at home in your body and life — then this is your invitation. Our Muse Method isn’t just a course. It’s a reclamation. A portal. A homecoming. If you’re ready to stop performing and start embodying, we’re ready to walk with you.
