Guest’s Info

Shanenn Bryant helps women demolish their patterns and dominate their future.

Combining her certification in Integrated Attachment Theory with nearly a decade of corporate Learning and Development experience, Shanenn demonstrates why "conscious seeing leads to conscious being."

Through speaking engagements, workshops, and her podcast, she's on a mission to help women move from old patterns to personal power.
