Kahshanna Evans Interview

“A to Eff to B – From Wounds to Wisdom”

Kahshanna Evans is an athlete, a branding and marketing expert, a public relations consultant, and has a background in wellness, having just completed a year of working with an organization that focuses on trauma-informed awareness.

This last element is a recurring theme throughout our conversation: acknowledging trauma in its various forms, and managing the effects of trauma – and the failure to recognize it – in our personal and professional lives. Unique to our conversations on “The Failure Guy” podcast, she introduces the concept of “creating space” for ourselves, and having a “joy process” in all we do – especially in our professional activities.

Join us for a stimulating conversation in which we discuss everything from how athletic performance in our youth can affect our confidence and accomplishments to the biochemical impact of repressed stress due to our not confronting and processing failure. And in the midst of it all, she has such a great lightness of spirit and sense of humor, you’d think this was a comedy podcast.

Learn how to put trauma in its place, the importance of connecting our catchphrases with conscious processes and focusing not on the blows to our egos that failure delivers, but the benefits of the lessons learned on our journeys toward greater success.
