From Martyr to Magic

To be fully honest I have more questions than answers but I'm over being sold this 6 or 7 figure dream. This way of doing business and life that might not even be realistic or sustainable for most of us. I'm sick of promises not delivered. Online gurus selling how to live your best life when this is such an individual experience. A us vs them. An "I know more than you" "I ch...

So excited to welcome today's guest Rebecca Canup. She is a Canadian writer and poet. A former health care worker who when things shifted in 2020 took a chance on her lifetime dream of writing full time. She has published two books, working on her third. She also is a writing mentor and facilitator encouraging others to write what they know, and leads with bravery and authenticity. Rebecca sha...

This is a personal share today. Feels a bit vulnerable but what the heck. I always learn the most through others shared experiences and stories and so I share mine as well. Growing up as an extremely shy child, I learned to push against my introverted ways and hide that part of me. It felt wrong and not something that would serve me in life. It felt like quiet people were weird and being outgoing...

** Ladies, WOMEN, this is a must listen to episode. There is so much to unpack but here are a few key take aways and points from the episode. I could have also named this episode How to adorn yourself with beauty, have better sex, intimacy, connection with your husband / partner and start the boil of your own kettle. Embracing the feminine, learning to balance our energies, bring back the polarity...

Today's quick solo episode is something that I'm reminding myself. Even when things aren't happening right away or just not fast enough. Base on the quote: "What's meant for you will never miss you and what missed you was never meant for you." -  Imam Ali I'm giving person examples today but use this on anything in your life that seems applicable. And I hope this find...

Today's solo episode is a quick throwback. Last spring I dove back into all things Brene Brown and I love the Man in the Arena quote by Theodore Roosevelt. Opinions are plenty and talk is cheap. Make sure you don't take everyones opinions or advice to heart. Are they doing what you want to do? Do they know you well, and see your strengths? Are they rooting for you? Be discerning. Putting y...

A solo episode for you today on a subject near and dear to my heart and something that I love talking about. Creativity. This is something we all have access to. That we are innately born with but can be dulled as we start to block ourselves in the conditioning of life. Do you allow the space to listen to yourself? To allow yourself to get bored? Do you allow yourself time to experiment? and relea...

Today's guest Kristin Hallett's greatest passion is to mirror someone's fear back to them as love and help humans to uncover their most inner essence. She says as she sits with the dying that presence is the greatest currency we hold, even more than time. Being truly present in the moment. She asks you who you want to be when you die. And helps people to peel back to your true essence...

Hello beauties and Happy International Women's day. I thought this was the perfect episode for today.  Coming at you from my car again. I have a few solo episodes from the archives that I will be releasing over the next few weeks. And as I am on the road a lot and this is where the inspiration hits, so don't mind the background noise but sometimes we just have to record when inspiration strik...

Hi - hello. Welcome. Well, I'm back again. for episode #3/52 this year as I vowed to podcast weekly for 2023. This episode talks about this journey. How setting a goal seems like a great idea at the time,  but following through is a whole other mind game. How we can fight ourselves or want to back out. And how I'm trying to set it and forget it. Just like my new gym routine. This is what we a...

Hi - and welcome to today's episode. I'm so excited to have this amazing human and one of my best friends on the show today, Angelisa Edwards from Braap Babes. She has been with me from almost the start of raising kids as well as my motorsports journey. Trying out new hobbies, getting into motorsports (sledding and dirtbiking),  figuring out who we are after having kids, and having a whole he...

Well this is 2/52 for my goal of podcasting once a week for 2023. And what this weeks episode is all about. You set the goal. It felt magical. Now what? Now it’s the boring, the tasks. The “I don’t feel like it now”. How can we motivate ourselves but also be kind to ourselves? It’s a marathon, not a sprint and we’ve got all year. Find me on IG @frommartyrtomagic and let’s continue the conversation...

Hi beauties, just short and sweet today. Wishing you all an amazing start to the NEW Year. Please let me know what topics and or and interview requests as I start to plan out the year. Also what are your goals for 2023? Let me know. Keep the conversation going on IG @frommartyrtomagic and I’ll talk to you soon xoxo Shannon

Hi Beauties, It has been awhile. I hope you have been enjoying your summer. I was going through a bunch of recordings from the last year or two and decided to post a few of these episodes as a part of a summer series. I hope you have been soaking up this summer energy. I have been in major chill mode. I'm calling it "BE HERE NOW" summer. Just going with the flow. And just in the last day or two ha...

Hello beauties. Today I'm talking about one of my most favourite things in the whole world. Journaling. It might seem like something you did as teenager (dear diary, . . .) and not a thing you have time for as an adult but I honestly think this can be the key to unlocking so much. Journaling is having a conversation with yourself. Asking yourself questions, writing down your thoughts or just free...

Welcome back. Happy 2022!! I thought I would chat today on something a bit lighter. Personal style. And although this might seem not as important as healing, and goals or things like that. I would beg to differ. I have really embraced my boujee libra roots and accepted and honoured that my style, what I'm wearing, how my house looks affects me on a deeper level. And I'm going to throw it out there...

I want to be your #1 HYPE woman and just remind you of how AMAZING you are. To help you look back over this last year and see all that you’ve accomplished, gone through and lessons learned. Don’t forget to CELEBRATE it all. And mostly be kind to yourself. It starts and ends with you. Be kind. Show yourself some love & gratitude. And if you can pay some forward too. I hope you have an amazing end o...

Hi! You guys the podcast is BACK! The start of season 2.  I have some super exciting rebranding in the near future. But today's episode is something very near and dear to my heart.  I share how I struggled in my marriage after having kids. How I felt stuck. Lost. Didn't know who my husband was or where that guy that I fell in love with went. It was hard and I struggled to get back. And m...
