Hello, my name is Shanna. I was raised in a large religious family in Utah, in a very loving home. My parents were beautiful examples of service to others and their community. Mom showed her love through acts of service in church, school and community. Dad showed his love through church callings, his school teaching and coaching and one-on-one interviews with his children. I always knew I wanted to help others. It was the example I grew up with. Being the third oldest of 10 children, it was expected early on that I would help with the younger kids. It became second nature for me to step in and help. Living in a big family, I had to work extra hard to be seen and heard. As an identical twin, I also had to work hard to find my own identity. Needless to say, I struggled with finding who I really was. My intense emotional pain and rejection left me questioning who I was as a person, my beliefs and my truth until now. It was time for change! So, I made the decision to show up for myself… NO matter what! What else did I have to lose at this point? I began my own journey toward self-acceptance, self-love and self-worth so that I could live unapologetically happy. I used The Adult Chair® podcast to start my journey towards my emotionally healthiest me. I have overcome personal painful challenges and transformed my life. It has been incredibly freeing! Today, I have a beautiful supportive partner and am in a healthy relationship. I'm a certified life coach. I have a license for secondary education teaching and I have my certification as a Family Peer Support Specialist working with struggling youth and families. I know my self-worth. I am a better communicator, and I now dedicate my life to helping others live as their healthiest selves. My practical tools and experiential approach will help you discover your wounds and limiting beliefs, uncover your true self and create new beliefs so you can live as a happy healthy adult, which will lead you to deeper connections with others, healthier relationships, reduced stress and true happiness that comes from within YOU. www.shannastevens.com
