What if the life you thought you were supposed to want isn’t actually what you want anymore?

In this episode, Shawna talks about success, imaginary timelines, changing your mind, and the pressure to have everything figured out. She explores why we often question ourselves instead of questioning the story we created about where we “should” be by now.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unfinished, or guilty for wanting something different, this session is about trusting yourself enough to reroute—and redefining success on your own terms.

Because maybe success isn’t reaching the finish line. Maybe it’s becoming someone you trust along the way.

Because maybe success isn’t reaching some imaginary finish line. Maybe it’s trusting yourself enough to change your mind, take the risk, reroute when you need to, and keep becoming the person you’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unfinished, or like you should be somewhere else by now—there’s a session for that.

This episode isn't about being single - it's about being stuck. In this episode of Sessions with Shawna, we break down why it feels like we're trying so hard, but nothing is actually changing. Shawna breaks down the traps we fall into and how being single forced her to see the subtle ways people stay stuck in relationships, careers, friendships, identities, & even waiting for "the right time". If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things but not moving forward, this episode is for you.

See you in session!

This week on Sessions with Shawna, we're exploring the psychology behind influence, identity, & why your inner circle plays such a powerful role in your confidence, emotional regulation, habits, & sense of self. Drawing from theories and real life patterns, we unpack how environments reinforce who we become - often more than motivation or willpower ever could. If you've ever felt like you're outgrowing certain dynamics, questioning your energy after being around certain people, or wondering why change feels hard even when you want it - this episode is for you!

This week on Sessions with Shawna, we're having one of those honest, late night conversations. We're unpacking a realization that's been sitting with Shawna: how phones, social media, texting, and dating apps have slowly shifted the way we experience connection and how, psychologically, we may be confusing access with connection. This is not a phone detox rant. This is a conversation about how somewhere along the way, our brains adapted in ways that don't always support real emotional closeness and human experience.

We're talking about how seeing someone online creates the illusion of knowing them, how passive connection replaces real relational connection, the psychology behind "we're still close, I see them on instagram, dating apps, texting, and avoidance disguised as effort, and how wanting deeper connection in a convenience-based world can lead one to feel misunderstood.

Ever feel like you’re in the room but not really in it? Like everyone else got the group chat memo except you? Same. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it means to be a chronic outsider—the girl who’s always been liked but never quite gotten, who’s friendly with everyone but still feels on the edge of every circle. I’m sharing my personal experiences, some insight, and why being the outsider might actually be your superpower (even when it doesn’t feel like it).

Plus, I’m introducing a brand-new segment: What Would Shawna Say? - where I answer your real questions and give you a response. 

Whether you’ve always felt a little different or you’re just tired of trying to “fit in,” this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start owning your space.

In this episode of Sessions with Shawna, we’re getting real about body image. From the silent comparisons to the inner critic that never seems to quiet down, I’m opening up about my own journey with body confidence and how it’s evolved through different stages of life. We’ll explore where our body image issues really come from, how social media plays a role, and most importantly—how to start seeing yourself with more compassion, respect, and love.

Whether you’re in the thick of it or simply want a healthier relationship with your reflection, this episode is your gentle reminder that your worth has never been tied to your weight, shape, or size.

TW: This episode includes honest conversation about body image and disordered eating patterns. Please listen with care. This episode is not a substitute for therapy or professional support.

We're back & it’s time for a seasonal reset! In this episode, Shawna is sharing her Summer 2025 In's & Out's — the habits, mindsets, and energies she is welcoming in…and what she is officially leaving behind. From ditching drive-throughs (yes, really) to no longer saying “I’m too busy” for people we love, we’re unpacking it all.

Whether you’re feeling a little stuck or just want to start fresh with some aligned energy, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. Expect laughs, real talk, and a few moments that might make you say “wait… same.”

Grab your Diet Coke (or whatever you want), tune in, and let’s step into our main character summer!

In this special birthday episode, Shawna is sharing 34 things she has learned in her 34 years—lessons that have shaped her, stretched her, and in some cases, saved her. It’s honest. It’s reflective. And it’s rooted in real experiences—breakdowns, breakthroughs, growth, grace, fun moments, and everything in between. Whether you’re in your 20s figuring it all out or in your 30s navigating your next chapter, or even at any age - these lessons may resonate and remind you that you’re not alone on the journey. Let’s reflect, laugh, maybe get a little sentimental — and grow together.
