Born to a 15-year-old mother and raised in poverty, Shantel's early years were defined by hardship and struggle. Growing up in challenging circumstances, she faced obstacles that seemed insurmountable. However, rather than succumbing to the limitations imposed by her circumstances, Shantel chose to chart her own path to success. From an early age, Shantel exhibited a fierce determination to break the cycle of poverty and create a better future for herself. Fuelled by a relentless drive to succeed, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth that would ultimately shape the trajectory of her life. Despite facing numerous setbacks and obstacles along the way, Shantel remained unwavering in her pursuit of success. Armed with resilience and a steadfast belief in her abilities, she navigated the challenges that lay before her with grace and determination. One of the defining moments in Shantel's journey came when she realized the transformative power of personal branding. Recognizing the importance of building a strong online presence, she set out to master the art of personal branding and leverage it as a tool for empowerment. With a keen understanding of the value of authenticity and storytelling, Shantel began to harness the power of her own narrative to inspire and uplift others. Through her own experiences of triumph over adversity, she discovered the immense potential for personal growth and empowerment that lies within each of us. As Shantel's journey of self-discovery and empowerment unfolded, she found herself drawn to the world of coaching and mentorship. Recognizing the transformative impact that mentorship can have on an individual's personal and professional growth, she made it her mission to pay forward the support and guidance she had received along her own journey. Today, Shantel serves as both a corporate executive and a Chief Personal Branding Officer, balancing her roles with grace and purpose.

Through her coaching, mentorship, and thought leadership, she inspires individuals to embrace their unique talents and leverage them to create meaningful change in their lives and communities. But perhaps the most inspiring aspect of Shantel's journey is her refusal to let her past define her future. Instead of allowing her early hardships to hold her back, she has used them as fuel to propel herself forward and inspire others to do the same. In sharing her own Cinderella story of triumph over adversity, Shantel reminds us all of the power of resilience, determination, and unwavering belief in oneself. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that no matter where we come from or what challenges we may face, we have the power to shape our own destinies and create a future filled with purpose, passion, and possibility.

#27: The Confidence To Start Over With Lisa Edmondson
The Confidence To Start Over For years, Lisa nestled comfortably within the corporate cocoon, believing in the myth of job security. That was until the unforeseen happened—she was unexpectedly released from her role, a jolt that shattered my illusion of safety and forced her to reevaluate her path. My interview with Lisa Edmondson is a candid exploration of the resilience required to pivot from this professional upheaval to the audacious world of entrepreneurship. This journey was not just about starting anew; it was about rediscovering her self-worth and recognizing the potential that lay dormant within her. Launching her first course which won her a Silver Telly Award and publishing her first book, she realized that betting on herself was the most profound investment she could ever make. Confidence was the cornerstone of this transition. It fueled her determination to build something from the ground up, to speak with authority on subjects she holds dear, and to connect with an audience as a leader rather than a follower. This conversation with Lisa goes beyond the narrative of success—it delves into the psychological metamorphosis that entrepreneurship demands and celebrates the tenacity of spirit that has guided her through uncertainty to a place of empowerment and purpose. Join us as we discuss the power of confidence in forging new paths and how it can transform the very essence of what we believe to be possible for ourselves.
