Bloom with Shan

Let's some some intentions for the month of October and make the very best of the it.

If you have not yet watched Kirk Franklin's Documentary, head to Youtube and watch it. In this episode i'm sharing how I feel about it and what I took away from it. Leave a review and let me know if your feelings are the same

There are a few changes made but don't be alarmed. Change is good. This episode is to fill you in on some of the updates made on this platform & where we're headed.

In this week's episode I share why I don't believe I was made for one man. Ask yourself how many times did you feel like you met your soulmate? Are you with that person now?

At the time when this will be published, my birthday will be in two days. I don't know about you but this time of year is when I spend time showing gratitude, reflecting and doing a lot of introspection. Join me as I share some of the thoughts that I've been having for the past week. Remember to follow me so that you will be notified when new episodes are posted.

You've probably heard of or spoken about emotional intelligence before but did you really take the time out to figure out what it truly means. In this week's episode we are speaking in depth about what it means to be emotionally intelligent & also highlighting some key elements to achieving this. Tune in & share with your loved ones

Wondering where i've been? I've been facing some truths & trying to gain balance. Thank you so very much for joining me in this new season. So much has changed & I look forward to sharing with you in this space. Relax your mind a bit as I share from my half empty cup.

If you're anything like me you might have found yourself in a situation or a few before where you had a man in your life and deep down you knew he wasn't the man your soul desired & not the one God prepared for you a=but you just kept him around just because. Many have found themselves in less that favorable circumstances because they refused to remove their space holder soon enough to welcome...

This week i'm updating you on my hiatus. I'm almost at the end of week two & I have been truly showing up in life. I'm living with intention and having that most beautiful time. If this is something you're ready to try you can pick up a few things in this episode on how to be intentional about this time. I pray that your year has been off to a beautiful start. I send you love and peace.

Happy New Year. I'm so happy you are still here. Last year we had a time. Thank you for joining me for another year. I'm so grateful to have you here. In this episode I speak of my hiatus to spend more time with self. I am being more intentional about the things that truly matter to me. We don't even realize sometimes just how much we are sucked into the matrix until we step away from all of it an...

This is the last episode for 2022 and I'm so grateful to each of you who listened, shared an episode or left a feedback. Whatever your goal is for 2023 just be intentional about it. Set realistic achievable goals and never forget to live in the moment. You deserve a life filled with love, peace and joy. Don't forget God. I send you love. Happy New Year my loves.

This week I’m joined by the beautiful Tishaun Edwards. Listen as we share experiences and unpack some issue that women face when they consider taking up space.

Wow! What a year  it has been but we're almost at the end. If there is one encouragement I would give to every women like me going into 2023, it would be Take Up Space Sis!

This week I chose to be vulnerable. When I started this podcast I made it clear that I wanted to be free to be transparent. The past two weeks have been a little off for me. I have been feeling really low for good reasons but it doesn't change the fact that it's not a position I enjoy being in. I'm embracing the ebbs and flows though because after all, isn't that what life is about? 

I cant be the only one who realized that when ever the question is asked "Who was the toxic one in the relationship" almost everyone is ready to point fingers. I mean after all, we're all perfect beings so there's no way we could have been an fault or even contributed to a relationship that went bad. In this week's episode, we're owning some truths about ourselves. While it might be painful to adm...

As women we often make excuses for accepting mediocrity. We are crippled by fear so much that we self sabotage as we bury our feelings so deep that  we often start to lose our identity. This week I want to talk about making selfish decisions that will bring you peace & joy in the long run. At the end of the day we all have our own path to choose but I hope after listening to this, you wil...

If you are anything like me you've probably found yourself in a commitment that you had no business being in. Why do we feel like the moment we start dating someone then we're in a relationship and so we're suddenly off limits and unavailable to everyone else. Let's unpack and figure out why we do that so we can unlearn those patterns that end up hurting us. This week I'm talking about utilizing t...

Often times we focus on everything that is happening around us and the list of things we have to do in our lives that we neglect and forget one key thing that can either make or break us. In order for you to be your highest self you need to take care of your mental health. In this week's episode I share some of the things I do to aid. The very things might not be your formula but it is imperative...

I am a woman like you and so I know like me, you've found yourself in situations where you were unhappy, uncomfortable & out of alignment because you refused to draw the line. I pray this episode will be one that causes you to reflect on your life and identify the areas in which you need to start setting some boundaries and drawing the line. No one will make better decisions for you than you....

Over the past few years I've learned just how valuable it is to have a sisterhood circle that holds space for you. Do away with the "no new friends" narrative and open you heart to welcome healthy loving connections. When women come in alignment with the same goal or vision they are undefeatable. Don't think new friends cannot come into your life and feel like home to you. Allow yourself to love a...

In this week's episode I open up about a part of my journey that I've never shared publicly before. I speak about the burden women carry from the loss of a pregnancy or the feeling that they cannot have children. There are so many wombs that are crying but we can't hear or see them. Many are suffering with a smile on their faces because there is a fear of being seen as inadequate or incapable of p...

If you are a single mom struggling through this chaotic life,  while having to make the best decisions for your children; this is for you. As a single mother myself, I know just how hard it is to be healing & growing while simultaneously protecting our children in hopes of saving them from reliving these life cycles. Society constantly blames single mothers for making bad choices in men w...

Since the last time I uploaded an episode, so much has happened. There is this quote that always resonated with me. It goes something like this "I just want to go somewhere where nobody knows my name". I'm not sure who the writer is but they sure did speak to my soul. A few months ago I arrived at this cross roads in my life where I felt so confused & stuck. I had no idea where I was headed or nee...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with setting standards for yourself & having high expectations. It's almost like we are domesticated to believe that asking more of others is a bad thing. If you think you deserve better, ask for it. A person who loves and values you will adjust as needed to make you happy. Please be reminded that what you choose to tolerate is exactly what you deserve. If you...

I want you to understand that it's okay to be soft & feminine. There is no need for you to force yourself against your natural flow to  be "independent". There's nothing cool or attractive about hyper-independence. That is trauma. Happy is the woman who has her own but even happier is she who has hers but is feminine enough to let a man lead and accept help with grace.  Being in...
