About this listen

Do you feel stuck in a job you’ve outgrown, but fear making the wrong move?


Torn between being present for your kids and showing up fully at work?


Is financial stress the only thing keeping you in a job you don’t love?


Wishing someone could just help you figure out your next best career step—without all the guesswork and guilt?


You’re in the right place.


This podcast is for ambitious women who want to grow their careers without sacrificing their families—or themselves.


Hey, I’m Shannon - a Career Coach, wife, and mom of two. I’ve been where you are: stuck in burnout, unsure of what’s next, and juggling all the things.


For years, I pushed through jobs that didn’t fit—trying to “do it all” while slowly losing myself.


Everything changed when I discovered my natural strengths and finally started showing up as my authentic self.


I built a successful career and coaching program around helping other working moms do the same—and now I’m sharing what I’ve learned right here with you.

Each week, you’ll get simple, actionable steps to grow your career with confidence, reclaim your time, and align your work with your life—not the other way around.


Grab your coffee (or reheat it for the third time), put in your earbuds, and let’s take the next step—together.

  • 36 | Feeling Stuck and Overwhelmed? How Clarity + Leadership Can Help You Move Again
    Jul 18 2025

    Ever feel like you're doing all the things—journaling, praying, goal setting—but you're still in a fog?

    👉 You’re exhausted from juggling everything, but can’t pinpoint what’s wrong

    👉 You’ve asked for advice, made the spreadsheets, reworked your resume—and still feel stuck

    👉 You’re craving clarity, but the more you chase it, the more it slips away

    Here’s the truth: clarity doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from reconnecting to who you are.

    In this episode, Shannon breaks down the hidden reasons smart, capable women feel stuck—and how to cut through the noise by aligning with your leadership style.


    🔥 In This Episode:

    • 4 “fog triggers” that block clarity (and how to reset)
    • How each leadership style (Boss Lady, Charismatic Queen, Heart-Centered Guide, Visionary Brainiac) gets stuck—and what to do next
    • 3 sneaky habits that drain your clarity without you realizing it
    • A 4-question clarity audit to get honest with yourself (in under 5 minutes)

    "You don’t need a better plan. You need a better connection to what actually matters." — Shannon Fox


    🛠️ Try This Today:
    ✨ Ask yourself: If I were already clear, what’s one small action I would take today?


    You don’t need the full plan. You just need your next aligned step.
