For Mothers and Others

Your life is unique, but we bet you can relate to Shannon’s story. You might not have grown up in South Central LA during the crack epidemic and riots. You might not have lost your little brother to a tragic accident when you were nine years old. You might not have started AdultHood as a teen mom on welfare. But your experiences have likely left you with some of the same problematic patterns and challenges Shannon had to overcome.

  • Do you make decisions based on fear, uncertainty, chaos, or division? (Yes, that spells FUCD.)

  • Do you find yourself worrying about worst-case outcomes?

  • Do you ever feel like others are holding you back?

If you’re nodding your head right now, then you’re in VictimHood—and that’s a tough place to be. Shannon spent plenty of time there herself, and it took her many years and a lot of self-exploration and hard work to leave it behind. And she wants to share the how with you.

In this book, Shannon gives you the tools that have worked for her and shows you that everything you need to live a joyful life is already inside you. She invites you to learn from her experiences, gain from her growth, and join her on her Conqueror’s Journey.
