E249: Shana Francesca - Living Life by your own rules

In Shana's own words:


Growing up, I watched the people around me and saw so much
pressure to pretend.  Most people were scripting their lives
from the dictations of their parents and society…here is how you
become a female or male adult…do these things, don’t do these
things…this is the life you ‘should’ be leading…what your life
should look like…this is the life you want; this binary is the
only acceptable way.


I was born into an abusive household and was raised inside an
evangelical Christian cult.  Because I experienced my life
almost entirely as high control and was punished for being
myself.  Imaginary worlds were my only safe space and books
became my friends and mentors.   


My life doesn’t look at all like my childhood.  I spent the
last fifteen years studying psychology as an amateur, building on
my emotional intelligence and personal awareness moving through
life and healing.  I have changed so much in the last 7
years and as a result, so has the business since I started it
part-time in 2016.


Several years ago while leading group coaching for entrepreneurs
and business owners of varying years and decades of experience I
realized my scholarly studies were taking up more and more space
in the world.   


Through the process of building the firm and connecting with
clients, I realized that our mission is larger than I originally
imagined.  I needed to let our ethos, our culture and the
brand take up more space in the world, support and work with more
people in a deeper and more expansive way.


My work went from focusing on empowering others to design their
lives through intention to recognize the power of my work with
leadership as well as in our individual lives and now focuses on
Intentional and Ethical Leadership and Living. 


We empower people, and those who are also leaders, to connect
with curiosity, respect, and accountability to transform their
lives and leadership.  To build community and connection and
to move away from the idea of a lonely leader at the top to
understanding the power and strength of a community of voices
driving innovation and profitability through a healthy
culture.
