Building A Business From One Soulful Room
- Shannah built a 22-year coaching business from a single room at home while raising two children who kept her grounded.

From High Pressure Sport To Chronic Fatigue
- Shannah started in finance and sport, rose quickly but ignored values and boundaries, and collapsed into chronic fatigue syndrome that left her bedridden for a year.
- The illness forced a reframing: she hired a coach, relearned small goals and rest, and shifted career toward life coaching for athletes.
