I’m Shannon. I help people trust their judgment again.
Why This Work Exists
My work blends behavioral economics, organizational psychology, adult learning, and lived experience to help people understand why they ignore their instincts—and how to stop.
I teach self-trust as a skill anyone can build—not a personality trait you either have or don’t.
For years, I made choices based on stability, approval, and expectation.
I said yes when I meant no.
I performed confidence I didn’t feel.
I tolerated roles and routines that looked responsible—but felt wrong.
On the outside, everything looked successful.
On the inside, something was missing—me.
That was the turning point.
I began studying how people make decisions, why they doubt themselves, and how conditioning shapes confidence.
What started as personal research became a framework, then a community, and eventually—a movement.
That movement is Get Untrapped™, a weekly publication where I explore why so many high achievers ignore their instincts and how to rebuild the ability to trust themselves again.
What I Believe
Clarity isn’t missing—it’s often ignored.
Confidence isn’t a feeling—it’s evidence built over time.
You don’t need permission—you need practice.
When you trust yourself, you stop performing and start leading.
Who I Help
I work with people who are accomplished on paper—but unsettled in practice.
People who don’t need motivation—they need a way to stop abandoning what they already know.
People who don’t need more potential—just permission to trust what they already know.
People who are often:
The responsible ones.
The high performers.
The thinkers, builders, and quiet leaders.
The ones others look to for clarity—even when they question their own.
If You’re Here, You’re Likely Ready For:
A framework—not pressure
Tools that make sense in real life, not just theory
A way to make decisions without spiraling
A life and work rhythm that feels like yours—not inherited, expected, or tolerated
If that resonates, then you’re exactly who this work was created for.
You don’t need to become someone new—you need space to return to the version of yourself who trusted your own voice.
