NEW BLOG POST - READ VIA THE LINK IN MY BIO

For the first three decades of my life, I lived with chronic guilt and don’t remember hearing about prioritizing or taking care of myself. I had mastered the art of people-pleasing and there was an enduring depletion due to giving my best to everyone and everything else. I never even knew it was an option to keep some for myself.

The first time I heard a self-care message, it felt foreign, uncomfortable and wrong. It completely challenged my engrained beliefs and training. My job was to look and act like others wanted me to, perform in the appropriate ways and run myself ragged in the process, right?

I have needed a lot of time and support to change my behaviors, but more importantly my thoughts, feelings, beliefs and how I view my identity had to be updated. Therapists, coaches, support groups, seminars, workshops, professional training, loving family members, loyal friends and many others along the way have been integral to my recovery. There is NO WAY I could journey this path alone, nor would I want to.

I have spent lots of time, energy, money and shed countless tears along the way and it has been completely worth it!

It has usually felt like baby steps, but here I am 11.5 years later living an almost completely unrecognizable life (in the best way possible).

For those of you who have been following me, you know that I took a social media break for several months. I’m slowly wading back into the SM waters because I want to help as many women as possible!⁣
⁣
A little over 10 years ago, my life looked similar to what it does now - I had a husband, kids, the house, the car - a pretty good life. That was from the outside. ⁣
⁣
But I didn’t have myself!⁣
⁣
I was lost amidst my life and often felt in survival mode. I was in my life but I wasn’t truly living it. I was busy scurrying and doing and going here and there, but me - Shannon, she was nowhere to be found. I was depleted and burnt out from doing and giving all I had to everyone and everything else. ⁣
⁣
Since that time, things have completely changed, in the best way possible. ⁣
⁣
My passion and work is to empower other women to overcome guilt and move themselves up on their priority lists. ⁣
⁣
This Tuesday, September 27th at 6:30 pm EST I am hosting a free virtual event. In this interactive talk, we will discuss the challenges to prioritizing ourselves, why everyone in our lives win when we do and practical strategies you can implement right away. I will also do some on the spot laser-coaching. ⁣
⁣
Register for this free virtual event via the link in my bio. Even if you can’t attend live, register to receive the event replay. ⁣
⁣
Invite a friend, bring your favorite drink, wear your comfy clothes and join other women who get it. ⁣
⁣
It’s going to be a fun and valuable night!⁣

CONFESSION TIME!!!
I'm not a social media girl. Yes, it provides some wonderful tools, can reach a lot of people and is very accessible. However, it is not a space that I like to spend a lot of time in. I recently deleted Facebook and Instagram from my phone because it just wasn't working for me.
Currently, I am going to be focusing my content and connection on email communication with my email crew.
If you don't want to miss great content, blog posts, events, encouragement, tools, deals and special resources, please join my email crew at www.shannonstedman.com. Link in bio
Lots of love,

When people ask me what I do and I tell them I am a Health and Life Coach, they often have questions about what that is.
Here is one illustration showing one aspect of the job I love to do! I help women get more clarity and calm the ping pong balls and sometimes “jumbled mess” in their heads.
Speaking and processing things out loud is life-changing.
I am honored and grateful to do this work!
