Keeping It Real With Shana Recker

Send Shana a Text Message Hey everyone! Welcome back! In this episode, I get super real about the ups and downs of friendships. After listening to a Simon Sinek podcast, I felt inspired to share my own struggles with making and keeping friends, especially during perimenopause and menopause. ADHD has definitely turned up the volume on my fear of rejection too.I talk about how important community is and how the lack of close friendships has really hit me. You'll hear about my overthinking and why I sometimes pull back from social interactions, even though I know how awesome it feels to connect. This episode is all about being aware, putting in the effort, and pushing past fears to keep those important friendships alive. Let's get real about how tricky friendships can be and figure out how to keep those connections strong.Follow me on Instagram at @shanarecker_art to share your thoughts on this episode. Have an amazing summer, and I'll be back with more when inspiration hits!Support the showThank

Send Shana a Text Message Hey there, welcome baaaaaack to "How It's Really Going with Shana Recker"! In this episode, I'm excited to share some recent changes in my life and what you can expect from the podcast moving forward.So, as you know, I've made a bit of a pivot in my career recently. I've shifted away from business coaching and started focusing more on specialized services like Kajabi work and graphic design. It's been quite a journey, and I've found immense fulfillment in this new direction. I'm all about those word-of-mouth referrals, and I've even taken on a part-time job at a salon, which has been a blast.But it's not all about work. I've also been diving headfirst into my passion for abstract art and hosting paint nights. It's amazing how creativity can light up your life.One of the big themes I want to talk about today is the importance of letting go of societal pressures. It's something I've been working on myself, and i

Send Shana a Text Message Ever felt like a quitter just because you changed your career path or switched your business focus?

Don't miss this transformative discussion that promises to reshape your views on change and inspires you to welcome the process of reinvention.(And yes that ☝

Send Shana a Text Message A Sunday morning rant about some of these ethics accounts, and how they call out coaches has me fired up! As you know, I am all about being ethical in my business and learning about how to be better as a coach. But as I am doing my own research, I am noticing that SOME of the ones who are educating on BS marketing practices in the Coaching industry are shaming and being downright MEAN in their content. This is my point of view as a Coach who is learning about ethics, seeing where I have gone wrong in the past, and making the necessary changes but also won't be BULLIED and made to feel SHAME because of the mistakes I've made. I'm so fired up about this that I can't wait for hair and makeup!  Support the showThank you all so much for listening!

I also share some personal life lessons that have come up over the past few weeks as I do this work.As I learn more, I'm re-evaluating my own business programs and marketing practices, so I can make the necessary changes to be better for this industry.This isn't easy to do as someone guilty of using unethical marketing practices in the past.
