“I never knew I could have this much joy in my life.”

I have known Shannon for many years from the yoga studio we both attended and she was always such a shining light in the room. I watched her from afar via social media pursue Health Coaching certification, start her own business, balance motherhood, overcome the day to day challenges of life, and always with a vibrant smile. 

About 8 months ago I went through a devastatingly hard, life changing event. I didn’t have any idea how I was going to make it through and I was desperate for help. Upon the suggestion of a friend, I gave Shannon a call to see if she might be able to talk with me and what program options she offered. I went into our initial conversation naively saying “Shannon, listen I’m not really here to talk about my health and wellness. I’m satisfied with both. I really just need your advice on how to navigate this one specific life event.” 

Shannon spent some time explaining to me that there are many components that create a Healthy Life, not just what you eat and how you exercise. I wasn’t at all convinced, but I was grasping to any help. In that moment, I leaned-in and committed to the full 6 month program.

Shannon and I spent the next 6 months talking about things that create joy, spirituality, creativity, relationships, etc… She always left me with a homework assignment at the end of each meeting and held me accountable to the homework assignment results. We practiced using a number of “tools”, some that stuck and some that failed miserably. But my personal growth flourished.

Bottom line is I never knew I could have this much joy in my life and I owe so much to Shannon for helping me get to the place I’m at now. I didn’t know I could be this happy and what I thought was a devastatingly hard situation ended up being the biggest blessing I could imagine.
