I’m a mental health coach, not a dumping ground.

I don’t coach people who just want to vent, stay stuck, or rehearse the same pain on repeat.
I coach people who are ready to do the work, shift patterns, and actually change their lives.

If you’re tired of:
• talking about the same issue every week
• knowing better but not doing better
• carrying emotional weight you were never meant to hold alone

Then coaching might be your next move.

Whether you want group coaching for support + accountability
or 1:1 coaching for deep, personalized work, I got you.

📩 DM me the word “COACHING” and let’s talk about what support fits you best.

Growth requires honesty.
Healing requires action.
I help with both.

How many times?
As many times as it takes for somebody to finally choose themselves.
As many times as it takes for survival mode to stop being normalized.
As many times as it takes until rest, boundaries, and healing are treated like non-negotiables — not luxuries.

I’ll keep talking about mental health because too many people are silently drowning while being praised for “handling everything so well.”

If you’re tired of holding it together and ready to actually feel better, not just look strong — tap in.

👉🏽 Start with my guided journals or come heal in community with me.

Comment “I’m ready” and I’ll send you the next step.

They thought I sold journals.
Nah — I facilitate healing.

This feature with VoyageHouston goes deeper than “self-care” and cute prompts. We talked about survival mode, emotional exhaustion, estrangement, grief, and the uncomfortable work of healing in real time.

Guided journaling isn’t passive.
It’s sacred.
It’s messy.
And it changes lives.

If you’ve ever been high-functioning but emotionally tired… this one is for you.

Growth looks like:

1️⃣ Saying ‘No’ without a TED Talk.
2️⃣ Not responding to texts that drain you.
3️⃣ Walking away without replaying the conversation in your head.

I wrote about boundaries and emotional freedom in Quiet as Kept because I lived the opposite for too long. The journal prompts in there will have you reclaiming your voice in real life.

Grab the book, grab your pen, and let’s get to work.

They told me I was ‘too much.’ Too outspoken. Too sensitive. Too bold about my boundaries. And for a while, I believed them.
But healing taught me that protecting my peace isn’t selfish, it’s sacred.

That’s why Quiet as Kept isn’t just a book… it’s a permission slip to stop apologizing for your healing.

Get your copy and start writing your way to unapologetic peace. ShawntiRefuge.com.

Fallin’ For My Damn Self isn’t cute.
It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s you facing yourself and deciding not to run this time.

🗓 Here’s what we cover over the 3 days:
Day 1: Breaking Up With Who You Thought You Had to Be
Day 2: Reclaiming the Real You Underneath the Survival
Day 3: Becoming Her — The Version That Feels Free, Worthy, and Whole

If that version of you has been whispering “please don’t leave me behind,”
this is your moment.

🦋 Apply now before you talk yourself out of it.
