Shavannah Speaks Moore is a portrait of resilience and grace. As an entrepreneur, speaker, life coach and corporate master trainer. Her goal is to empower women and leaders to become all that they desire. She is broken boundaries, challenge the status quo and will soon be gracing our television screens with her new show Limitless Living with Shannah-speaks-moore on CBS welcome Shavannah.
Shavannah
Hello, thank you so much for having me.
Marlana
So, I know people look at you and where you are at this stage in the game. And think it must have been easy. You know, there have been no obstacles that you've overcome. But I know that you certainly have. talk to us a little bit about what it took to get to where you are.
Shavannah
Oh, boy, where do I even start with that? So, you're right. a lot of the times, you know, on this journey that we travel, a lot of people see your success, and they have no idea what the story is behind that success. So, for me, I guess without going too much into my backstory, I grew up in a little small country town out here in North Carolina, I grew up with my grandmother, I stayed there until I was about 13 years old. And then I came where I am today in North Carolina to live with my mother. So, throughout my childhood, there was a lot of things that I encountered DOM that children should not have encountered. Absolutely no faults, my grandmother, of course, but just things that we encountered growing up as children, you know, such as molestation and living in poverty and things that I really had no idea that was happening at this time, because we made the best of what we had, right? Because I didn't know any better at the time. So, I transitioned, I came here to live with my mother. And it was almost like, that was a turning point for me, because I feel like that's kind of where my life took a turn for the worse, for better lack of words, where I kind of started getting access to the street life, and you know, alcohol and sex, and just all the things that I feel that as teenagers a lot of us experience, but I experienced a lot younger. So, I feel like I grew up quick if that makes sense. So basically, you know, I traveled that journey, my life took a turn for the worst. And at that point, it was like I was either going to end up somewhere good or locked up, or, you know, it would have been a bad journey. For me, I'll say that. So ended up getting into corporate, I got a background in mortgages. So, I started traveling down the corporate journey and things started to really unfold for me.Then I started to see things from a different light, I started to see possibility, I started to really see another side of life that I had never had access to before. So, once I started doing my corporate journey I got into mortgages, I would like to raise the ladder really quick in the mortgage industry. And then back in 2013 is where my journey really started. Because that's when I was laid off from my corporate job at Wells Fargo, I jumped into entrepreneurship headfirst, again, had no idea what that looked like. For me, that was not something that we discussed at the dinner table growing up. So, I didn't know what this other side looked like. I just knew I had to figure something out. Right? So, I jumped in headfirst get into entrepreneurship, struggle really bad at first. But then something happened in my career just took off. And then it was like the next year, we were on the up and up. So, we started traveling the world, people started asking me to share my story, because it just didn't make sense for this little girl from this little country town that had all these things going on to be where she was. So, then I started writing books and people wanted to hear more about how did you do this? All right, so that's kind of where the journey began for me. And then, right after that, I ended up getting pregnant with my son. And I hit a severe, harsh stop, like I got really depressed and started having suicidal thoughts. And it was at that moment that my personal development journey really began. And this is what led me down the path of where I am today.
Marlana
So, I hear in there kind of a lot of different catalysts. But let's go all the way back for a second. And how did you use the things that happened to you when you were young? To fuel you as opposed to stop you?
Shavannah
Wow! that's a really good question. So, I think for me, I feel like I've always had that drive at the time to prove something right. Because at the time, it was a matter of, well, you know, someone doesn't want to help me or you're not going to if I ask someone for help about around something or you know, at this time if I needed money Do whatever. And people didn't want to help me, I felt like I was getting a lot of rejection. So that fueled me to say, okay, you know what, you don't want to help me, it's okay, I'm gonna figure it out anyway. So that's kind of where it started. And honestly, it's one of those things where I always tell and especially now, when I work with my clients, I always tell them, when I started my journey, it was filled from problems, it was filled from challenges, it was being filled from a place of not such a positive place. But now, looking at the things that fill me, I'm being filled more from a place of empowerment versus a problem. So, at the time, it was a problem that was kind of driving me to say, you know, what, okay, well, I'm in this hardship, so I'm not gonna stay here, I'm gonna prove that I can make this happen. And for me, I felt like that was the wrong intention. I didn't know that obviously, back then I just knew I have to make something happen, right? I have to figure this out. And I figured it out. So now looking back on that experience, I'm being fueled more from my passion than I am my, you know, being feel more from like, the problematic standpoint, then, you know, like, okay, now I know, I can empower the world, how can I step into that and lean more into that, and, and allow that to fuel me versus, I feel like I must struggle before I felt like I had to struggle to get here. That's the whole mindset thing. I know, we probably don't have a lot of time to get into that. But I was just driven to do more because I had to prove a point. That's kind of what led me to get to that point of just even traveling spiritual journey universities.
Marlana
So, do you think that your upbringing, in your experience, you mentioned, it was a lot of street mentality? Do you think that actually made you braver and more up to take risks? Or do you think that didn't really play one way or the other?
Shavannah
Yeah, most definitely, it definitely did. And one thing that I can take away from that is just in, it's almost like in that environment, we have to find a way you had to figure things out. So, I think just having that grit of resilience, so to speak, that kind of carry Oh, that's one thing. I'm glad that I was able to carry to entrepreneurship, because a lot of entrepreneurs get into this journey. And they think, oh, I hit one hardship, and I'm just gonna give up. I didn't have that me. I never had a spirit of giving up in me, because I had to figure it out from a young age. And then when I started having children, it was one of those things where I was struggling so bad. I was like, oh, my gosh, how are my children gonna eat, I have to like, have a yard sale, I have to figure this thing out. So, I had that determination. And that resilience in me from that, I guess, that space that I was in. So that's just something that really carried me through when it came to entrepreneurship. So now, instead of it being from a negative standpoint, it's like, okay, now I have that on a positive standpoint. So now I can utilize that same drive, that same resilience, that same courage and that same boldness to really show up in this space, more powerfully and more energetic than I would have ever thought I could be or do and in various ways.
Marlana
So, do you think all of that is something that if it's not inherent within us that we can learn it?
Shavannah
I absolutely believe that because the thing is, the beautiful thing about this spiritual experience that we're all traveling is, we can always unlearn things, just like we can learn new things, right? There's no limitation to where our mind can go. There's no limitation to who we can actually be in this human experience that we all have the beauty pleasure of traveling right now at this time. So absolutely. Even if you were someone that had everything handed to you, or maybe you were someone that didn't really struggle as well, or you never been through poverty or even know what the street life is, like, you absolutely can learn how to step into the more empowered version of yourself and embody that and allow this carry through this journey.
Marlana
How much do the people that we surround ourselves with have to do with our success?
Shavannah
Oh my gosh! 100% like you, you are your relationships, like seriously, because you have to think about everything is energy. Like that's one thing that I'm very adamant about in this universal time that we're in right now, every single thing is energy. So, if you are around people that are complaining all the time, that you know, have a really mediocre mindset that just don't really want to do anything with their life. They say that you are like the five people that you surround yourself around, right? And I truly have found that to be so true because even on this journey, there are people that I had to let go, you know, and it wasn't in a way like oh, I can't talk to you anymore. I don't love you anymore. It almost worked itself out because I started elevating at such a high level and a high frequency that it kind of removed it. So, they removed themselves because we just weren't a vibrational match any longer. So, I absolutely believe that 100% of the relationships that you're around definitely affects or enhances where you are in your journey, or where you can go with your journey.
Marlana
Do you believe that it's a, if you can dream it, you can be it? Kind of as let me say, or do you believe that? You know, I can make anything happen? I don't necessarily tell you believe it's as if I can dream, and I can bet.
Shavannah
I absolutely believe that. And you know, what's interesting about that is, I want to say this for everyone that's reading today. Anything that we can imagine we absolutely can be, we can absolutely do. However, where the disconnect happens is a lot of people think oh, if I just visualize, you know, making a million dollars, it's gonna just fall in my lap, there are still things that you have to do in order to make those things happen. And so, the way that I see it is okay, if I have this big vision, I know that I didn't get that download for, again, just come out of nowhere. So obviously, there's a desire that I have somewhere in my heart somewhere in this energetic space that I live in, I have that desire. Now I have to sit with myself and say, Okay, what's next for me? Like, who do I have to become to make that dream come true. And that's really what it all boils down to, you don't just have the dream, and then imagine something, and it's just gonna fall in your lap. That's totally not the way it goes. But once you have that desire, you have that dream, you have to become that version of the person that can manifest that.
Marlana
So, do you think that we need to become that person first? Or do you think that we become that person as the dream becomes a reality?
Shavannah
What I mean by that is, like, let's just say that, for example, where I am today is where I imagined myself to be eight years ago. And I'm a stickler for journaling, and just I'm assuming he's visionary. So, all of the things that I'm doing now, I saw this eight years ago, and I started to embody that version of Shavannah, then meaning, for example, my bank account was like negative $400.08, eight plus years ago. So, when I would journal, I will journal as if I was already that version of Shavannah. So, I would say things like, oh, my gosh, I'm so happy and grateful to be living in, you know, this beautiful home, meeting with my clients daily, having most of those and margaritas and just, you know, having sushi dates with the girls, you know, while everybody is at work, so I already was embodying that energy before I became this person. And even though realistically, in my life at the time, from what my human brain could say, or think I was negative in my bank account, and it just didn't make sense to me, I will begin to surround myself around people that were at that level. So, I will put myself in spaces that will make me very uncomfortable. But what that will do for me was, it will allow me to embody the energy of what that would feel like to be a six-figure earner to have a very successful business to do be on national TV. So, I would just intentionally surround myself around that type of energy so that I could embody that. And what happens is, the more that you can embody that version of yourself, the more it will become your reality, unintentionally. So instead of you trying to work hard towards it, you just become that version of yourself. So, I would ask myself, okay, how it sticks vigor, Shavannah, how will the six-figure version of Shavannah show up today, she's not showing up in sweatpants with a hair all over the place. That's the current version of who I was, how would the six-figure version of myself show up, she would show up dressed up, she would have her makeup on, she would have her nice suit on, she's eating at, you know, fancy restaurants. And it's so interesting, because even when I tell my clients or share these stories and things for my clients, I talked to them about the times where when I had a negative bank account, but I will be eating at the instead, or I will go to like the fanciest restaurant and I will get a salad, I will have my laptop, knowing that I couldn't afford it. But it was just something about immersing myself in that energy that made it real for me. So, the more that I could do that, the more that it was becoming my reality. And I didn't even realize it was becoming my reality because I had become that person so much and immerse myself in that even though my reality, totally different from what I was manifesting. It manifested quicker if that makes sense. So, it took me up. It took out the effort of, oh my gosh, I have to go work 80 hours a week and I'm like, No, I'm not available for that. So
Marlana
One thing that I I'm curious about, because I think a lot of people would think that in this journey if they have negative $400, in their bank account, they're doing all of these things to try and manifest it, that imposter syndrome would show up. Did that ever show up for you?
Shavannah
Absolutely. Most definitely. I guess for me, it was very interesting. Because even though there was a sense of So for the record, at this point in my career, I no longer subscribe to the belief of the imposter syndrome. I'm just not available for it. Because I have such an awareness now of the fact that I create my reality. However, eight years ago, this was like a foreign language to me. But at that time, absolutely, because you have to think about this. Like, with me and my background, the way that I grew up, this wasn't something that we talked about it was almost like another world for me. So anytime, I would see, and I think what really shifted the game for me is when I read the book, and the movie, The Secret. Once I was aware that there was another way I was like, hmm, I'm curious about debt, right? Let me just try this and see what happens. So that's kind of the space that I was in. So even though my bank account was negative 400, I knew Okay, let me just visualize this. That's why I started doing vision boards, and really, you know, putting myself in that environment and implementing these habits and changing my habits daily. And what would happen is I will hit a block, because reality would kick in and say, well, Shavannah, this is not even how you grew up, you know, you can't you making six figures? What does that look like? Like, you're not even worthy of doing that. So, when those thoughts come up, what saved me was the fact that I had people around me that I had to intentionally surround myself around that will help me elevate my frequency, because you can't go through this journey alone. Like, obviously, if you're in a space where you have doubt, you feel like you're unworthy, you feel as though this isn't possible. For me, I see everyone doing it, but it's just not possible for me. And you're just in that space by yourself, you're gonna stay in that space. So, it was so important. And that's why I'm so glad you asked that question earlier about people who are around me. So, it was important for me to surround myself around people that were at a higher level that thought at a higher level that operated at a higher level than myself. So, when I was in that fight, and I knew, like, oh, my gosh, I see this vision, I know that it can happen, but I don't believe that I'm worthy, then I can go around someone that's like, hey, you know, we're gonna go to Paris this week for four days, and then the other week, and it just didn't make sense. But that allowed me to say, man, if it's...

So, I would ask myself, okay, how it sticks vigor, Shavannah, how will the six-figure version of Shavannah show up today, she's not showing up in sweatpants with a hair all over the place. That's the current version of who I was, how would the six-figure version of myself show up, she would show up dressed up, she would have her makeup on, she would have her nice suit on, she's eating at, you know, fancy restaurants. And it's so interesting, because even when I tell my clients or share these stories and things for my clients, I talked to them about the times where when I had a negative bank account, but I will be eating at the instead, or I will go to like the fanciest restaurant and I will get a salad, I will have my laptop, knowing that I couldn't afford it. But it was just something about immersing myself in that energy that made it real for me. So, the more that I could do that, the more that it was becoming my reality. And I didn't even realize it was becoming my reality because I had become that person so much and immerse myself in that even though my reality, totally different from what I was manifesting. It manifested quicker if that makes sense. So, it took me up. It took out the effort of, oh my gosh, I have to go work 80 hours a week and I'm like, No, I'm not available for that. So

One thing that I I'm curious about, because I think a lot of people would think that in this journey if they have negative $400, in their bank account, they're doing all of these things to try and manifest it, that imposter syndrome would show up. Did that ever show up for you?
Shavannah
Absolutely. Most definitely. I guess for me, it was very interesting. Because even though there was a sense of So for the record, at this point in my career, I no longer subscribe to the belief of the imposter syndrome. I'm just not available for it. Because I have such an awareness now of the fact that I create my reality. However, eight years ago, this was like a foreign language to me. But at that time, absolutely, because you have to think about this. Like, with me and my background, the way that I grew up, this wasn't something that we talked about it was almost like another world for me. So anytime, I would see, and I think what really shifted the game for me is when I read the book, and the movie, The Secret. Once I was aware that there was another way I was like, hmm, I'm curious about debt, right? Let me just try this and see what happens. So that's kind of the space that I was in. So even though my bank account was negative 400, I knew Okay, let me just visualize this. That's why I started doing vision boards, and really, you know, putting myself in that environment and implementing these habits and changing my habits daily. And what would happen is I will hit a block, because reality would kick in and say, well, Shavannah, this is not even how you grew up, you know, you can't you making six figures? What does that look like? Like, you're not even worthy of doing that. So, when those thoughts come up, what saved me was the fact that I had people around me that I had to intentionally surround myself around that will help me elevate my frequency, because you can't go through this journey alone. Like, obviously, if you're in a space where you have doubt, you feel like you're unworthy, you feel as though this isn't possible. For me, I see everyone doing it, but it's just not possible for me. And you're just in that space by yourself, you're gonna stay in that space. So, it was so important. And that's why I'm so glad you asked that question earlier about people who are around me. So, it was important for me to surround myself around people that were at a higher level that thought at a higher level that operated at a higher level than myself. So, when I was in that fight, and I knew, like, oh, my gosh, I see this vision, I know that it can happen, but I don't believe that I'm worthy, then I can go around someone that's like, hey, you know, we're gonna go to Paris this week for four days, and then the other week, and it just didn't make sense. But that allowed me to say, man, if it's...
