Work in Good Company is making its fall debut on September 24, and I’m genuinely so happy to bring this little monthly gathering back.

It’s a free morning to bring whatever has been asking for your attention and spend a few focused hours getting into it alongside other humans doing the same. Your laptop, notebook, admin list, creative project, half-finished idea… bring it.

We’ll gather briefly at the beginning, spend most of the morning doing our own thing together, and reconnect before we finish.

You can join me online via Zoom or, if you’re local to Campbell River, come work alongside me in person.

September 24 • 8:30–11:30 AM PT
Free to join.

Registration is now open through the Events page at the link in my bio. ❤️

Apparently I’ve been collecting things that scare the s**t out of me lately. 😂 A women’s circle alone. Two hours of ecstatic dance. Committing to hosting ceremonies in my home. And now, being invited to facilitate at Saunapalooza and saying yes.

The funny thing is, I actually want to do these things. That’s the part I keep coming back to, because I’m realizing how easy it can be to confuse this makes me really fu***ng uncomfortable with I shouldn’t do this.

Those aren’t always the same thing.

So I’ve been sitting with a question lately: Do I genuinely not want to do this? Or am I scared because I do?

Apparently I had quite a bit to say about that question 😂 because it turned into a whole blog post.

Saying Yes Before I Feel Ready is up on the blog now. It’s about fear, discomfort, the things I might have missed if I’d let fear make the decision for me, and what I’m learning about giving myself the chance to find out what’s on the other side. ❤️

I had a weird little moment looking at my calendar recently…

I realized that just last year, one appointment in a week could take up pretty much all the bandwidth I had. Add much more and I was likely going to feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or some combination of all three.

Now I can have something happening most days and still want to go for tea with a gf. Still want to create. Still want to make plans. Still want to BE in my own life.

That feels huge when I actually stop long enough to notice it!!!

I don’t do that very often. I’m much quicker to notice what still feels hard, what I haven’t done yet, what I think I should be better at by now.

But this? This has changed.

Things that used to take almost everything I had simply doesn't anymore.

And somehow, without me really paying attention, there’s just a little more room now.

More room for people. More room for work I care about. More room for things that scare me a little. More room for joy, curiosity, connection, and whatever the hell else I decide to say yes to.

I think I’m finally learning to look back once in a while.

Because holy s**t, I’ve come a long way. ❤️

Yesterday, I flew a fu***ng plane. ✈️

And once the HOLY S**T of it all settled down, I started thinking about where this actually began.

Watching Stu fly, walking around the plane, sitting in it, taxiing, then takeoff and landing before eventually working my way up to an actual flight. There were panic attacks, tears, a whole lot of breathing and regulating, and many moments when simply getting into the plane was the win.

And yesterday, Stu let go of the controls and I flew it.

I am so damn proud of myself. ❤️

I wrote about the whole progression on the blog because sometimes you don’t realize how far you’ve come until you turn around and look.

Last Year, Getting on the Plane Was the Win is on the blog now. Link in bio. ✨

Apparently I’m Still Learning How to Take a Vacation!!!

One of the strange things about working for yourself, especially when you genuinely love what you do, is figuring out how to actually take time off.

There’s always something I could be doing. A post I could write, something I could record, an email I could answer, an idea I could run with before I forget it five minutes later. 😂

And I’ve definitely caught myself thinking, “Oh, I could just quickly…”

No, Shannan. You could also go paddle boarding.

So I’ve been spending more time by the ocean, moving slower, enjoying our company, doing things because they sound fun, and letting Blissful Being be a little quieter while I enjoy the life I’m building it around.

Apparently one post a week is where I’m at right now.

And you know what? That’s working pretty damn well for me. ❤️

Becoming a yoga teacher has been such an interesting lesson in how much you can know… and how much you can still have to learn. 😂

I’m qualified. I’ve done the training, put in the hours, studied, practised and taught. And holy s**t, there is still SO much I’m figuring out.

Sequencing. Timing. Transitions. Cues. Watching the room while remembering what the heck I planned to do next. Learning what feels natural to me as a teacher and what doesn’t.

And I actually love that.

I’ve always called myself a forever student, and becoming a yoga teacher has only made that feel more true. There will always be another question to ask, another class to take, another teacher to learn from, another way to deepen my own practice.

Turns out becoming the teacher didn’t mean I stopped being the student.

I just get to be both now. ❤️

Happy Birthday to my favourite adventure partner. ❤️

Twenty one years and somehow we’re still finding new places to explore, new things to laugh about, and new ways to grow.

This past year reminded me that life can change in an instant. It also reminded me how grateful I am to have someone beside me who keeps showing up, even when the road isn’t the one we expected.

Thank you for every sunrise, every road trip, every spontaneous adventure, every cup of tea, every hug, and every ordinary day that somehow feels extraordinary because we’re sharing it.

I hope this year brings you everything you hope for and so much more.

Happy Birthday, Stu. I love doing life with you. ❤️

If I’m honest, seeing zero registrations for this round of my 40-day Kriya practice stung.

The last time I offered it, a beautiful group of women joined me. Over forty days, we shared opening and closing calls, daily WhatsApp check-ins, and a midway practice together. Watching a few minutes of daily practice ripple into their lives was something I’ll never forget.

This time, no one signed up AND I still showed up. I hit RECORD and began my practice anyway.

A year ago, something like this probably would have knocked me off my feet. I would have questioned my business, questioned whether I should keep going, taken it personally, and likely pulled back for a while to rethink everything.

Instead, I noticed something different...I was disappointed and I still honoured the commitment I made to myself.

That felt truly significant.

Running a business has a funny way of holding up a mirror. Sometimes the lesson has nothing to do with marketing, algorithms, or sales.

Sometimes it’s simply noticing how differently you respond than you once did.

This morning I sat down for my Subagh Kriya and within minutes my brain was off to the races.

"The construction noise is annoying.
I forgot to put up the umbrella.
Now I'm sitting in full sun.
Ugh, I left my sunglasses inside."

Then came the questions.

"Am I saying the mantra correctly?
Are my hands in the right position?
Should I have started over?"

I laughed when I noticed what was happening.

After years of meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and now teaching these practices, my mind still loves to convince me that there must be a “perfect” way to do it.

Maybe that’s why I wanted to share this today.

If you’ve ever thought everyone else is having a beautiful, peaceful meditation while you’re sitting there distracted by your thoughts, the weather, your neighbour’s lawn mower, or whether you’re getting it right… you’re not alone. Truly!!!

I finished the five minutes. I still don’t know if I pronounced every word perfectly.

Tomorrow is Day 37.
