Season 5 Episode 10 | Telling Stories & Getting Curious with Shannon Whaley
In Episode 10: Telling Stories & Getting Curious with Shannon Whaley
I hope you're ready to be delighted this week, because my guest today is the one, the only, the amazing Shannon Whaley. She's a Professional Certified Coach on a mission to help women get their message and magic out into the world — no hustle or burnout necessary. Shannon believes in putting pleasure and play first, and she walks that talk as she lives out her Eat, Pray, Love dream in Italy.
I had an absolute blast during this conversation as we talked all about:
how she ended up in Italy (and met her husband)
giving f*cks without giving f*cks
intention and authenticity in business
some ins and outs of the coaching industry
how no level of income or education will erase impostor syndrome
“My clients say, I can't wait until I don't have to deal with this anymore. And I'm like — hold up. I can't wait until *I* don't have to deal with this anymore! I still have the same brain that tells me that I suck, that this isn't going to work, that my story is stupid and people don't care... Income level, certificates, training... I still get impostor syndrome. So I remind myself, oh, that's probably your trauma telling you that things aren't working. The difference is, it's not that it doesn't happen anymore, it's that we have tools to help us not spin out. We know how to pull ourselves out. That's the difference.”
