Black, Brown, Indigenous, Women of Color
Are you looking to step into your next level?
CAN YOU RELATE?
Over the past few years, clients came to me with these feelings (and mistakes). I’ve even made them too
- You move directly into action only to get stuck again
- You sit in the feeling, “This ain’t it!” But you feel too paralyzed to make any moves.
- You focus on the external issues that keep you where you are
- You daydream about what could be but don’t feel ready to claim it for yourself
- You decide to wear the mask or fit the mold for how you think you need to be to get what you want
All of these paths lead to the same road of…
Inaction or very (very, very) slow progress towards what you really want
Your desire(s) seems further and further from your reach. Then, to make yourself feel better and justify your inaction you focus on all the reasons you love your current place (in title, position, employment, salary, entrepreneurship….or life). “I should be grateful for what I have,” you think. Or you just chuck it up to “imposter syndrome” and remain stuck.
Truth is, you’re frustrated and you don’t love where you are (and you feel like you’re alone)
Hold up!
Imagine this instead
You wake up tingly with excitement for what the day will bring and lay your head on your pillow each night feeling pride and peace
You bring it and own it - your power, authenticity, and shine. You walk into rooms holding your head high and share your expertise without holding back
You know you are valued (your expertise, your time, your energy) and compensated accordingly (ca-ching!)
You actually experience “the flow.” You move through your day with ease
And best of all…
You are proud of yourself for listening to your gut and making a change, taking the leap!
Now, let’s make it your reality!

Shannen says that once you focus on the inner work, the blessings materialize around you. As we were going through the journey together, the blessings kept coming, in the form of new job opportunities, uplifting feedback, bursts of creativity in my pursuits and creations, and finally, becoming engaged right as the inner circle sessions came to a close. The community that Shannen cultivates in our group coaching sessions is so beautiful, and I still feel connected and supported even though our official sessions have ended.
Introducing . . .
The Inner Circle
A small, boutique, communal coaching experience for high achieving BBIPOC women that will create momentum + clarity while owning your power so that you can move towards your next level with ease
Clarity, power, and momentum… with ease? Get outta here! Just hear me out.
Most executive coaching focuses on the action you must take to overcome “imposter syndrome,” “get your resume ‘lookin right,’” improve your “executive presence, ” and/or apply for a specific job. Not here. We focus on the internal stuff that will actually make a difference in you taking sustainable, aligned action. The stuff that will improve not just your career but your life.
We center you and your unique identities and experiences as a woman of color.
The pedagogy and methodology in The Inner Circle center the unique experiences of being a woman of color… not whiteness. We know what propels and hinders you is more than just “think positively” and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” bs.
We focus on the inner work because the inner work is the work.
By beginning within, you create clarity, do the necessary healing work, and sustainably, powerfully move toward your next level. It’s a supportive infusion of leadership practices, indigenous traditions, science, spirituality, psychology, coaching modalities, liberation pedagogy, and healing work. But don’t get it twisted… action is infused throughout. But it’s aligned action. Action specifically meant for you. Action that can be sustained.
Over 8 modules, The Inner Circle will follow our signature Upward SPIRAL Method. You’ll gain:
Clarity
You’ll identify what you want to call forth and how you want to level up in your career (or life). We’ll narrow it down to one specific desire. Then, we’ll spend time uncovering and healing what might be blocking you from claiming this (a key component for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and additional Women of Color). You’ll spend time getting to know and embodying your future self, the woman who’s already claimed and attained what you desire.
Power
You’ve given away your power in various ways. Now, it’s time to reclaim it. You’ll release unsupportive stories, stereotypes, and beliefs you’ve adopted (societal, cultural, familial, etc). We’ll walk you through integrating parts of you that have typically gotten in the way of your progress (such as perfectionism, people pleasing, overachieving, worthiness, etc) and learn how to use them as your superpower. You’ll have key strategies to magnify and utilize your strengths vs improving your “deficits.”
Momentum
Along the way, you’ll incorporate new actions and behaviors that support you and your vision. You’ll learn how to know what actions are “in alignment” for you and which actions to avoid. You’ll invite ease vs hustle & grinding.
Here’s what you get in The Inner Circle…

MEET YOUR COACH
HEY! I’m Shannen
I know what it’s like to be the only woman of color in the room or at the table.
But, I didn’t realize the impact it had on how I thought about myself: how I showed up in spaces, the goals I went after (and those I allowed to sit on the shelf and collect dust) UNTIL I began doing the deep inner work.
My transformative experience made me wonder:
“What’s possible if BBIPOC women leaders had access to high-quality coaching? Coaching that emphasized not just surface-level issues, but went deeper. Coaching that tapped into their internal power, joy, and ease (which is often overlooked), especially in the workplace!”
I've enjoyed a fulfilling career and received prestigious awards. However, coaching and partnering with leaders like you is my true calling. Witnessing my clients' transformation, liberation, and empowerment brings me immense joy and makes me emotional (in a good way). As you shine and lead, you lead the way for others to do the same. You inspire others (and me)!
While this is the inaugural The Inner Circle, I know you will experience the same transformation as other 1:1 clients and groups I’ve hosted. Your visions, your dreams, and your goals are yours for a reason.
It’s time to bring those desires into reality by claiming them and inviting clarity, power and momentum! What you do in The Inner Circle will benefit you way beyond our 60 days together.
I’m honored to partner with you and hype you up along the way!
Much respect,
Shannen
The Inner Circle is not intended for everyone!
The Inner Circle is right for
- Women (and nonbinary people) who identify as Black, Brown, Indigenous and/or a woman/person of color
- A mid to senior-level leader, executive or entrepreneur who wants to level up and grow professionally or personally
- Someone ready to commit to the inner work and take action and responsibility for their growth and
- Someone who’s ready for the next level, in leadership or life
The Inner Circle is NOT right for
- Men or people who identify as white/caucasian
- Anyone just starting their career
- Someone who wants to continue to do surface-level work and get surface-level results
- A person who is looking for the “easy button”
Let’s be real…
Pie in the sky, “you can have it all” messages and programs exist. This is NOT one of them.
This boutique experience is about giving you the tools to get to the next level. The next level that YOU get to decide, not society, your colleagues, parents or partners.
In 60 days, you can definitely shift your vision and mindset, heal parts of you that have been neglected and take action towards your goals and desires. Will you meet your desire at the end? Possibly- it depends on what you are calling forth or choosing. Will you be further along than you are now and have a roadmap to get you to where you want to be? Most definitely!
Why wait? Stalling is just another tactic of your ego to keep you safe (you’ll learn all about that in The Inner Circle). Now is the time to do the inner work, the foundational work, that will make your 2024 visions come to life. You’ve already put a deadline on how much longer you plan to stay where you currently are. You can either accelerate that timeline or continue to push it back.
