About Me

My story, values, and passion for helping extraordinary women like you.

My journey may sound
a lot like yours . . . 

A 17-year career in the corporate world left me feeling discouraged, stretched thin, and feeling hopeless. There was no end to the projects, demands, and checklists in my job. I felt I had nothing left to give my husband and son at the end of every busy day. 

Like you, I suffered from an unhealthy balance in my life. With so much to manage and a finite amount of time, energy, and heart, there seemed to be no chance to feel fulfilled. Whole. Healthy. 

But that was only the beginning of my story.

Corporate Hustle:

I began my career in finance, securing a degree in accounting and diving into finance roles at major corporations. For the next decade, I rose through the ranks, moving from hands-on technical work to management.

 

At every phase, I experienced the corporate world’s pressures and relentless pace firsthand. Late nights. Stressful deadlines. High expectations. 

 

As my role in management grew, the work became increasingly draining. The relentless focus on numbers, profits, and endless projects began to take its toll on my physical and emotional health.

 

By tying my self worth to output and achievements, I was running on a treadmill that seemed to lead nowhere and left me burned out and discouraged.

Human Connection

Through every up and down, however, I continued to find joy in authentic connections with my team members.

 

In fact, my best days were spent listening, guiding, and genuinely helping the people around me even if it had nothing to do with the task at hand.

 

In doing so, I noticed I wasn’t the only one struggling with the stress of balancing both work and personal needs. My team was struggling too. So I began to spend more and more time tending to the emotional health of the teams I managed.

 

In our interactions, I saw how important it was to treat them as people and not just employees. My team told me I was the only manager they ever worked with who made them feel truly seen, heard, and cared about.

 

Connecting with my team on a human level made all the difference. I cared so much about their well-being and happiness, I felt like a mama hen protecting her chicks!

That’s when it hit me: the fulfillment I craved in my life could only come from supporting people in a sincere, intentional way.

So, rather than trying to balance my job and my desire to help others, I needed to simplify and find a way to pursue my true calling. I decided to explore opportunities where I could use my experience to focus solely on empowering others. Knowing the power of coaching and the impact it's had on my own life; I enrolled in a life coach certification course.

After a few short weeks, I knew I had found my calling as a life coach for women.

I left my corporate job behind and never looked back.

With a smile on my face and hope in my heart, I founded “Shannon Kay Coaching” to help beautiful souls discover a safe space for clarity, healing, and a roadmap for change.

 

I carefully crafted a coaching practice that allows my clients to explore, grow, and become their authentic selves in a non-judgmental, supportive place. Through this work together, I guide clients to identify their struggles, equip them with an actionable plan, and support them toward a new, fresh perspective on life. 

Are you ready to discover the keys to your happiest, most successful life and career? 

My Values

Empathy & Connection

A caring person by nature, I feel deeply for others and thrive when making true connections with those around me.

Having been where you are, I can easily relate to the struggles you face. I know from personal experience what it feels like to live unbalanced and tight, endlessly chasing perfection and approval.

I also know how it feels to leave that mindset behind and achieve a more intuitive, healthy process that doesn’t neglect your human side.

Honesty & Clarity

I am an excellent listener who values your honesty, open mind, and willingness to learn.

 

My practice provides a non-judgmental, accepting space where you feel safe to show up as your true, human self.

 

When you reveal and connect with your true self,   you allow understanding to shine through. With understanding comes the possibility of growth toward the balanced, healthy life you deserve. 

Empowerment & Ownership

You are the driver of your own life.

 

You decide what to take on, what to accept, and what to reject. This means every woman has the potential to lead a fulfilling, balanced life of her own choosing.

 

Our work together empowers you to take ownership of your choices, break free from limiting beliefs, and approach life with a  newfound sense of confidence and control. 

 

My role is to provide insight and direction, shining a light on the path ahead so you can make empowered choices with confidence. 

Balance & Harmony

Harmony between your work and personal goals means you aren’t torn trying to take care of one more than the other. Some shifting will naturally occur, but only with your permission and choice.

Balance is the only way to maintain a sustainable approach to work and life. You are a human, not a robot.

In our work together, I help you work toward that harmony between professional achievements and personal fulfillment. This ensures you thrive both in and outside of your career.

Caring heart for a life coach for women
"Shannon has literally helped me turn my life around by teaching me how to get excited about creating a morning routine.  I’m a single mother of two girls and have no time for myself.  Shannon provided me with a plan, and by giving me wonderful support along the way. She gave me the tools to get excited and inspired by creating a routine.  She knows how to get to the root of a personal challenge or block without being pushy or intrusive. She’s kind and enthusiastic, and it truly feels like her desire to help is a passion and not just a career. She’s lovely as a coach and as a person. Because of Shannon’s coaching I can’t go a day without my walks or workouts.  For the first time I am putting my health first.  Thank you, Shannon!"
