The question "where do I go from here?" is powerful in figuring out what's next in your life. The answer lies in focusing on what you want next and not what you're leaving behind.
Welcome! I am Shannon D. Owens. My ultimate goal is for you to embrace this new season of your mid-life which I call your prime time. Depending on how you look at it can either be a crisis or an exciting new adventure! I will humbly support, guide, and instruct you as you get intimately re-acquainted with who are now that your babies are grown and out on their own. By strengthening your emotional intelligence, you will have the resilience and confidence to enthusiastically accept the changes that hit your life whether you wanted them to or not.
I do this by assisting you in addressing your emotions, attitudes, strengths, weaknesses, and character. I also partner with you to sort out the sum of your life experiences up to this point, which may or may not have been how you imagined by using emotional intelligence. Applying EI (which many people in our community have NOT been taught) and having it as your foundation will keep you on track as you go through this wonderful yet unfamiliar mid-life stage. It’s no doubt something that could have helped you during that exciting and sometimes exhausting season of parenting.
The willingness to change your perspective (a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view) relating to this transition and adjust your perception (a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression) is how I will support as you begin to answer your question, “now what?” Understanding how to fill the void of the empty nest with beneficial things vs. those that are not is the key. Remember your feelings are not facts and though it may “feel” like your life is over, useless, or pointless now that you aren’t a full-time mother; the truth is, this is the beginning of a new era of your life and you get to be positively selfish with how you decide to live it.
I am an Ohio girl! I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio and I later raised my children in Cleveland.
After becoming an empty-nester at the age of 39, I decided to do something different. I moved away from everything I was familiar with and started over. Yes, my family and friends thought I was out of my mind, but it was one of the best and scariest decisions of my life and that's why I now reside in sunny Orlando, Florida. It's been an awesome experience.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing for Entertainment from Full Sail University and an Associate Degree in Applied Sciences in Massotherapy from Ohio College of Massotherapy.
