Effective Action, Quiet Reflection + Quality Questions, The Power of Pausing To Stop Repeating Old Behaviors
How often have you done something and thought, gosh, I'll never make that mistake again? Then weeks, months, and years pass, and come to find out you've unconsciously been repeating old behaviors your entire life. The truth is, we rely on experience to be the best teacher when in reality, the only teacher is EVALUATED experience. Reflection turns experience into insight! When is the last time you found a quiet place to journal and reflect on your day? This could occur after some big event, a fight with your spouse or even regarding questions you have for some higher...

How Do We Make Our Best Choices?
Are you stuck between a rock and a hard place? I never understood that saying, but it can completely paralyze you when you think about making the wrong choice. For me, I become fearful of decision fatigue; at the same time, I fear being impulsive. So, how do we tackle decisions head-on and trust ourselves enough to make them confidently? Today, we deep dive into your intention, attention, and attitude towards making decisions. Life continues to offer us chances to practice inner listening while growing our wisdom through life's challenges. If we build a trustworthy path aligning our emotional intuition...

Life is rushed. We categorize everything from grocery shopping to online dating as urgent and important, leaving us unsatisfied and exhausted at the end of each day. A life of to-do lists will leave you gasping for air, wishing you had more than 24 hours in a day. Today, we deep dive into the scientifically proven Eisenhower matrix. In building a solid framework around what to do immediately, what to schedule, what to delegate, and what to do delete/do later, we effectively prioritize our lives, leaving plenty of room for fun!

Labels Are Limitations
All my life I have labeled myself. Shauna the sonographer, Shauna the wife, Shauna the bodybuilder, Shauna the personal trainer... you get it. What I found was when those labels were stripped from me, I lost a part of me every single time. Now, how tightly I identified with those labels directly correlated to how long it took me to "recover" and redefine myself. Today we deep dive into attachments, certainty, and loosening the labels in order to enhance our potential.𝓍𝓍𝒮𝒽𝒶𝓊𝓃𝒶𝒯𝒶𝓀𝑒𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉𝒴𝑜𝓊𝒩𝑒𝑒𝒹 & ℒ𝑒𝒶𝓋𝑒𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉𝒴𝑜𝓊𝒟𝑜𝓃'𝓉 BUY SHAUNA'S FIRST BOOKhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BX4HVVLS Connect With Me: https://shaunadi...

Shauna's 4 Step Blueprint For Navigating Change: A Holistic Life Audit
If you've listened to me for a while, you know I spend my life teaching and learning how to navigate change. I deep dive into the unknown head first with one plan; everything is workable because life will always figure itself out. Building a life around being uncomfortable is what 99% of people actually avoid doing. Most of us chase comfortability, affirmations, and sameness which follow with regrets and "should haves." The life you live is the lessons you teach, so after years of falling face first, I developed a 4 step blueprint for navigating any change in your...

The Bootcamp Of Love Starts With Moving In Together
“And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity, and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” Today we chat about what to do before moving in together, why you shouldn't move in together, what to expect while living together, and all the details about my current living situation!

The Most Important Thing In Life Is Your Inner Energy
Energy doesn't get old, it doesn't get tired, and it doesn't need food. What it needs is openness and receptivity. You have the power to draw upon the infinite energy inside of you every single day. Personally, I noticed this person I was keeping in my life was completely draining my energy, so much that I could barely function at work. Only through awareness, consciousness, and staying open can we make a commitment to explore our capacity for receiving unlimited energy and living our most joyous lives.XX Shaunahttps://sculptedx3.co/

How Women Can Travel Alone Without Anxiety
As I count the days until my solo backpacking trip through Europe I wanted to take a moment and share with you some personal tips and debunk some myths about traveling alone as a female. The anxiety, the fear of the unknown, dealing with men, and just being alone with ourselves sounds terrible doesn't it? Yet, for a living, I chase that feeling and I wouldn't have it any other way. My hope is that in sharing what I have learned you can take the leap, book that flight, and be forced into direct experience that will change your...

Three Types Of Insecurity
Guess what? If you feel insecure, the rest of the world does too. Today we deep dive into three types of insecurity. We use the term insecure a lot. We normally use it to refer to self doubt or lack of confidence, but there's way more to it. Think about the last time you said I'm feeling really insecure or they are acting so insecure. If you are feeling insecure or have in the past, have you thought of ways to build your self security? What would opening nonjudgmental acceptance of your own weaknesses look like for you?

Thank You For Breaking My Heart
Recently, I let someone I love back into my life and I left with a few more lessons on love that I wanted to share with you today. Rather than trying to figure out what another person wants and then putting your efforts towards satisfying their desires, it is much more productive and satisfying for you to be directing your thoughts toward the things that you desire.

Make Forgiveness As Important As Breathing
Forgiveness is the key to self love and happiness. In our day to day we often find ourselves predicting and controlling rather than having peace of mind. We go from point A to point B and we actually have no idea how we got there because we are too flustered with what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. True inner peace comes from letting go, being in the present moment, and realizing in practicing forgiveness you take nothing personal so you have no compulsion to react. In reality, when do people often decide to forgive? When they face...
