Hey, Friend!

I'm Shaina!

They call me’ The Connection Queen’. I connect dots, hearts and people as a motivational coach, speaker and writer. I am a woman of resilience and giver of permission. 

“The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light, but we have to be taught, it seems.”

– Richard Rohr

You can find me in my garden, on the hammock, out hiking, an occasional networking meeting, or being a wife to my mechanic-turned-logger husband and momma to our baby boy in heaven and a rainbow baby girl who is now a sweet, wild and passionate toddler. (Time flies when you are having fun right?!)

As I set out to find a way to live that was fulfilling and on my terms, I feel like God left me bread crumbs in the form of relationships, connections. Each one leading to lessons or a new understanding of what this life could be. Sharing HOW became my mission. (HINT: it’s still inside of you, too!)

I get it, friend. Life is crazy, but it doesn’t have to be riddled or overrun by the chaos. You are more powerful than you think. Being under-whelmed and over-stimulated does not have to be a common theme for you, your business or your life.
