    My Relationship To My Body Through Fitness Over The Years

    This week, I'm getting really deep and personal. I'm sharing my entire journey with fitness and my body over the last 10+ years — the story behind my most popular blog post ever. From dreaming of the WNBA in my fifth grade yearbook, to the ACL tears that shattered my athlete identity, to bodybuilding extremes (chewing and spitting food, tilapia and asparagus for weeks), powerlifting, CrossFit, secret binge eating, and the burnout that led me to close my business and step away from the gym for two whole years. And then — the healing. How I detangled my worth from my appearance, made peace with food, and rebuilt my relationship with movement from a place of love instead of punishment. If you've ever tied your self-worth to how your body looks or performs, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why my athlete identity was both my superpower and my prisonThe disordered eating patterns I didn't recognize because they were "normal" in fitness cultureHow under-eating fueled my binge eating cycle (even as a dietitian!)The two-year reset that changed everythingWhat true food and body freedom actually looks like 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!

    What Does A High Protein Diet Look Like?

    Everyone's talking about "high protein" — but what does that actually mean for YOUR body? In this episode, Shanon breaks down the real science of protein as a registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics. She debunks the "1 gram per pound" gym myth, explains why those viral 75-gram protein bowls aren't helping you build muscle, and shares exactly how much protein you need per meal (spoiler: it's probably less than you think — but timed better than you're doing it). You'll learn:  ✨ The actual RDA for protein (and the athlete maximum)  ✨ Why more protein isn't better — and the leucine science behind it  ✨ The 4 components of a balanced meal  ✨ Protein guidance if you're on a GLP-1 (this one's important)  ✨ Fun, realistic ways to add protein to every meal 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!

    When You’re The One Who Holds It All Together, How Do You Relax?

    You're the strong one. The reliable one. The one everyone counts on — but who holds you? In this episode, Shanon gets real about the identity of "having it all together" and why it makes rest feel impossible. As an eldest daughter in a first-generation household, she knows firsthand how worth gets tangled up with output — and how your nervous system starts treating stillness like a threat. You'll learn why you feel antsy the moment you sit down, the sneaky signs you're numbing instead of resting (hi, doom-scrolling), how guilt cancels out self-care, and the exact reframes and nervous system practices that retrain your body to feel safe relaxing. Rest is not a reward. It's mandatory. Let this episode show you how to actually receive it. 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!

    Losing Your Ambitious Edge When Healing

    Are you afraid that healing will cost you your drive? That if you let go of the hustle, you'll lose the edge that made you successful? I've been there. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey — from building a million-dollar business fueled by rage and something to prove, to closing it all down, going through a complete identity crumble, and rebuilding from a place of actual joy.  It was messy.  It was painful.  And it was the best thing that ever happened to me. If you're a high-achiever who's afraid to slow down because you think healing and ambition can't coexist — this episode is the one I wish I'd had. What we cover: Why I closed a thriving business at the height of my successThe difference between relentlessness and perseverance (this one's a game-changer)How my food rules and my hustle culture were rooted in the same woundWhy your body settles when you stop fighting itHow to rebuild your ambition from joy instead of fear 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!

    How To Connect To Your Intuition and How It Impacts Your Health

    What if the reason your body won't cooperate — despite doing everything "right" — isn't your diet, your workout plan, or your willpower? What if it's a disconnection from your own inner wisdom? In this solo episode, Shanon shares a deeply personal conversation about the role intuition plays in your health — and why Western medicine has left it almost entirely out of the picture.  She opens up about her own experience with anxiety in her 20s, her binge eating chapter, and the moment she realized that no nutrition protocol was going to fix a connection problem. In this episode, you'll learn: Why symptoms like digestive issues, chronic pain, binge eating, and anxiety can be signs of intuitive disconnection — not just physical imbalancesThe four channels through which your intuition speaks (Clairsentience, Claircognizance, Clairaudience, and Clairvoyance) — and how to recognize which one is yoursHow to tell the difference between an emotional response and a true intuitive message8 practices to start reconnecting to your inner voice Why body and soul freedom can't exist without each other 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!

    Have you ever had it all on paper — the business, the body, the hustle — and still felt completely empty inside? That moment might not be a breakdown.  It might be a breakthrough. In this solo episode, Shanon gets raw and real about her own identity shift — stepping away from the world of competitive fitness and weight loss coaching to fully embrace the somatic, spiritual, and soul-led work she does today.  She walks you through the 8 stages of letting go of your old identity, from the awakening and the grief to the void, the falter, and the beautiful recalibration that waits on the other side. If you're in the middle of becoming someone new — and it feels like you're losing your mind — this episode is exactly what you need to hear. 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!

    Wild Adventures and Lessons from Solo Traveling, Part 2

    Have you ever wondered what it would look like to completely let go — of the rules, the routines, the pressure to perform — and just be? In this episode of Fuel the Fire, Shanon picks up where she left off in Part 1 of her Hawaii solo travel series and shares the lessons that literally rewired the way she moves through the world. Whether you're stuck in diet culture, disconnected from your intuition, or just running on autopilot and craving something deeper — this episode will meet you where you are. What You'll Hear in This Episode: 🌺 The childhood dream worth revisiting Shanon opens with a challenge: go back to the younger version of you. What did you love? What did you dream of? The answer might be pointing you toward something you've been ignoring. 👙 What it really means to feel free in your body After years of bodybuilding, powerlifting, CrossFit, and using her appearance to validate her worth as a dietitian and business owner, Shanon finally experienced body freedom — on a beach in Hawaii, in a bikini, surrounded by strangers. She shares what made that possible, and why she believes weight loss can never be the goal if you actually want lasting change. 🌿 Why nature is the most underrated nervous system reset Spending time outside isn't just relaxing — it's regulating. Shanon breaks down why she believes we are part of nature, not separate from it, and how even five minutes a day outside can begin to shift how you feel in your body. 🧭 Learning to trust your intuition (finally) Shanon shares how she reconnected with her intuition through practices she learned from a spiritual mentor she met in Hawaii — and why she believes self-trust is the root of everything: your health, your relationships, your sense of direction in life. 🪡 Acupuncture and breathwork as real pain medicine In one of the most memorable parts of the episode, Shanon tells the story of getting a tooth infection in the middle of her trip — with no pain medication that worked for her body — and using meditation, breath, and eventually acupuncture to manage it. The results were immediate and undeniable. 🚶‍♀️ How to stop taking other people's behavior personally Shanon shares a wild story from her hostel that turned into one of her biggest lessons: when someone projects their pain onto you, it truly has nothing to do with you. And knowing that changes everything about how quickly you can let it go and move on. 🌅 The simple ritual that grounded her every single day Sunrise. Sunset. Outside. That's it. Shanon explains why she never missed it — and why she believes it's one of the most powerful things you can do for your body and mind. 4-Day mind-body reset designed to change your relationship with food: Click Here for Our Food Freedom Reset Are you ready to heal your relationship with your body and soul?  Click Here to Learn More About Our Signature Program Our Links: Follow us on Instagram!
