Meet Your Host:
I’m Shannon Russell, a business coach empowering women to leave unfulfilling careers and build joyful, purpose-driven businesses. I'm also the author of Start Your Second Act: How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, and Create Your Best Life and host of the Second Act Success Podcast.

After spending years in a career that looked great on paper but no longer fit my life, I built multiple businesses and helped countless women do the same, without burning everything down first.

I believe starting a business doesn’t have to feel scary, risky, or confusing. With the right steps, it can feel intentional, empowering, and doable!

I'm ready to learn!

"Working with Shannon was exactly what I needed. Her kind and encouraging approach made me feel truly supported from day one, and her deep experience as a coach and entrepreneur brought invaluable perspective to every conversation.

With Shannon’s guidance, I launched a newsletter and finally showed up on LinkedIn in a way that felt aligned and impactful. She helped me organize my ideas and believed in my voice. Shannon has a true gift for meeting you where you are and helping you move forward with purpose.

If you’re building something from the heart and looking for a coach who understands the journey, I couldn’t recommend Shannon more highly."  -MEG M.
