Hello and welcome. I’m Shandi and I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to be so utterly overwhelmed, knowing that change needs to happen but unsure which direction to go.

I distinctly remember standing there, on the stairs watching my child walk past. I was teaching them what to aim for. By my actions. By my words. By what they saw. It hit me like a ton of bricks, “Is this really what I want to show my kids?” The answer was a resounding no.

That one moment propelled me to deep, intensive inner work. I had to face some hard facts: the domestic abuse I was living with. The religious trauma I had endured. Why could I not advocate for myself? Why did I think this was okay and normal?

I didn’t know what path it was going to lead me down but I started with the only place I could: me. Embracing me. The authentic me. The one I had buried long ago, living someone else’s expectations for my life.

I needed to find her again. I needed to remember who she was. It was on this path that I found my inner wisdom. Shovelful by shovelful, I dug out the girl. That is how I found my phoenix.

My change was so profound that my entire life goal changed. I want to give to others what was given to me. I’d be honored to walk this path with you. Take that next step to becoming and embracing your authentic self. You have a phoenix too! Let’s find it together!
