Freedom from resentment

I finally got to the root of all my pain—my own thinking

"Finally, when I was able to start really questioning the thought that she should be different, she should support me, she should hear me, she should be able to acknowledge me, my pain, and how she caused it all. When I realized that just me thinking that she should be different is what was the root of that struggle, the root of that pain. Freedom from so much stress and anxiety and that feeling of disgust and hatred. It was just... gone!"

—Merry
Healing through Connection

A Safe, Productive Space

"It's not always easy to look your own self-sabotage, but we all get more freedom each time one of us works through their situation in this safe space!

My relationship with my children and grandchildren, my husband and extended family, and especially myself is SO much happier now. I no longer feel like a victim of others' choices."

—DONNA
Stop Shrinking and start living

Finally Heard, Seen, and Supported

"Shawn helped me reconnect with nature. I reclaimed physical wellness. I realize my present life, my mind, and my spirit are healed in a way I didn't think was possible. Thanks to her preparing me to confront my ex-husband about his abandonment of our grown son, he finally heard me,"

—CHRISTY

De-Clutter your Heart, Mind, & Life

"Celebration! I have just decluttered so much of my house! Shawn and the Aligned Action Adventure Mastermind have really helped me get out of my own way, sharing progress or stuck places with Shawn and she gives me just the "thought tweak" I need to finally be my own cheerleader. It is so nice to have her on the other side of that text, loving me, supporting me, & helping do that for myself!!!"

—CORRIE

Access Decisive Leadership

"What I'm walking away with from this group is life-altering. I don't get wrapped up in things I'm not in control of anymore. I chuckled when you said you were hyper-analytical and that used to make you indecisive. Nothing was clear at the beginning, but now all that dark cloudiness that was looming all the time has dissipated. Shawn has been my angel. I honestly believe she could help anyone with anything!"

Not paralyzed by beating myself up anymore!

Celebration-- about the clutter in my house! A big problem for me and a big reason why I beat myself up. I was just paralyzed. Well, over the past couple of weeks I’ve taken lots of action… and along the way I send messages to Shawn and celebrate with her and she encourages me and it’s so nice to have her on the other side, loving me and supporting me! And helping me learn how to do that for myself!!!! Before I could do all of this, she was still loving me, supporting me, and gently helping me figure out why I couldn’t do it, until I could.

Bouncing back with Support!

Texting with Shawn was a blessing to me today. I feel much better again; I now come out of these slumps and crashes quickly. I don’t know how I would have gotten through this without your amazing care and expertise and the love and support of the group.

Christy

“

Relationship peace—even at the holidays!

Shawn, this is amazing. You are so perceptive. I can’t even imagine anyone being as helpful as you’ve been, better than the psychologist. I love that all my family relationships are at peace as I'm headed into the holidays.”

Radical healing results!

Working with Shawn Mahshie was simply amazing. Even people who have been on a lifelong spiritual journey will find the fastest path to freedom. Whether you are in a stuck marriage, have issues with your closest relationships, or still struggle with anxiety, anger, and alienation, Shawn gets radical healing results.

Moving toward my dreams!

After every coaching session, I come away much lighter, hopeful, and in solidarity with myself. To take it further, in our Aligned Action Adventure group, I’m enjoying tangible results as [Shawn] moves us into taking action steps toward realizing our dreams. Shawn is also a wonderful role model and inspiration for me as she’s a woman in the world who is super-high functioning, without all the troublesome gunk of believing “the stinking thinking.” She gives me the courage and determination to stay the course in her programs, propelling me in the direction of standing for myself as she does for herself.
