"Working with Shannon was exactly what I needed to take my business to the next level! When I first started with Shannon I was nervous to go "all-in" with my Health Coaching business, however after our time together I left my full-time job with confidence, excitement, and more clarity than I could have ever dreamed of. I whole-heartedly attribute my success to Shannon's expertise, guidance, and support in such a crazy time of my life and can't imagine getting to this point without her!" 

-Sarah B.

Client   Testimonials

"Working with Shannon was a real game changer for me. I had been stalled trying to make the transition from acting to another creative position. I had always dreamed of learning to refinish and sell old furniture, but I had no idea how to make that happen. Shannon’s guidance helped me to understand what was important to me in order to remain creative and productive. I’m developing my furniture business without losing my sense of creativity. Shannon has helped me find balance in my work life in a way I never could have done on my own. I am so grateful!!"

-Tracy F. 

Client   Testimonials

"Shannon has the keen sense of how to support current you, while simultaneously helping you envision, design and most importantly, take the next step toward your second act. During my conversations with Shannon her entrepreneurial experience has helped me distill various priorities and goals into actionable steps that will build my next chapter. Her encouragement and genuine interest in me during this process has been invaluable."

Client   Testimonials

- T.FARBS

"Shannon has given me the tools, resources and confidence to uncover my "Second Act".  I knew I wanted change, but didn't know which path to take and how to start. Her course and coaching has helped me narrow down my 100 ideas to what my true passion and purpose is.  I am in my 40's and I don't know how I could have made this big transition without her patience, guidance and support. It is never too late to find your true purpose and start your Second Act."
