- Do you feel guilty prioritizing yourself?
- Do you feel like it’s selfish to do something for yourself?
- Do you experience a lot of “should's” in your life?
You’re not alone!
I’m Shannon Stedman,
A Certified Mastery Level Transformational Health and Life Coach. I work with women to overcome guilt and move themselves up on their priority lists so they can live with greater peace, joy and confidence.
This way EVERYONE in your life wins, including you!
MOST WOMEN FEEL GUILTY AT LEAST ONCE DAILY AND IT’S USUALLY GUILT ABOUT PRIORITIZING THEMSELVES.
- “Do you feel selfish and guilty for wanting to prioritize yourself?”
- Is there always something else you should be doing?
- Are you at the bottom of your priority list?
- Do you feel resentful seeing others enjoy what you want?
- Have you lost yourself?
- Are you feeling stressed, exhausted, and burnt out?
Holes to Whole Coaching was born out of my own struggle coupled with a passion
to empower other women. I know where you are and how to guide you to where you want to be!
I have been where you are and there is a way out. I have a partner, 3 teens, and a cat. I lived on guilt for most of my life. I fell prey to the belief that prioritizing myself was selfish. This led to immense guilt. I threw myself off of my priority list and put everyone and everything before myself. I was constantly busy and burned out. My identity was completely wrapped up in my people and what I did. I didn’t know who I was It was a disaster. I now live a very different life. I am now at the top of my priority list and getting to know myself more intimately. I invest in myself daily. My life and my people are all better for it.
My Permission to Prioritize Coaching Programs guides women
to overcome guilt and prioritize themselves in the ways that
they most need at any given time. My clients experience greater
peace, joy, and confidence in their lives which serves as a
springboard to freedom and aliveness. In working together, my
clients gain awareness and clarity while breaking the chains
that have kept them stuck.
What Clients Are Saying?
“Shannon is so easy to talk and open up to. You can easily tell as soon as meet her that she is so caring and loves what she does. She genuinely cares about people and truly wants to help you make your life less stressful. She had great tips for me and I am applying the tools she suggested to help make my life a little bit easier. Thank you, Shannon for all you do!”
“Shannon and I were cohorts in our coaching program and practiced skills labs with each other. I hope I can describe how awesome Shannon is as a coach: she was my best cohort; she is very intuitive; and her skills at asking just the right question at the right time, then sitting back and giving you space to think and talk are fantastic.
“Shannon is great to work with! I did her program when I was going through a difficult time in my life. She was very helpful; our meetings were a nice break and helped me to stay on track with my goals. I would recommend her to anyone trying to make any kind of changes in life without knowing where to starts.

COACHING PROGRAMS:
Common Questions & Concerns
I have too much going on. Can I start when things calm down?
The present is ALWAYS the best time to start taking steps toward what you want and the life you were created for!
- Life will always be full, there will never be a “perfect” time to prioritize yourself, your brain will always come up with an obstacle, keeping you stuck right where you are.
- Most people who put off coaching for a “better” time continue in the same patterns and fail to achieve their goals in having the life that they dream of!
Are you ready to make yourself a priority and start working toward creating the life you deserve now?
I don’t have the money
I completely understand, this is huge. It is difficult to make decisions about how we spend our money.
Do your current spending choices reflect your values and what matters most to you?
- On average, women spend between $150-$400 per month on clothing.
- The average American spends around $92 on take-out coffee each month.
- American women spend an average of $115 for makeup and beauty treatments per month.
- The average household spends almost $300 per month eating out.
We ultimately spend our money on what matters most.
- I offer a variety of programs including group sessions and various one-on-one packages so you can find what works best for you.
- I offer a variety of program packages .
- Generally, my clients earn or save more money through their transformation in my programs. They also gain greater peace, joy, energy and confidence, which are priceless.
You are worth the financial investment!
Why it works
Small hinges swing big doors!
We work together to create an action plan of attainable steps that feel impactful and manageable to you.
- Your transformation begins as soon as you invest in yourself by committing to coaching, you will feel it!
- I design a specific and individualized program uniquely tailored for each of my one-on-one clients.
- My programs range in intensity and length based on your specific needs and goals.
Investing in my coaching program will give you more time, energy and space in your life. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it’s true!
- My coaching programs combine systems, support and accountability that works.
- Our work together will be steady and sustainable for true and lasting change to occur.
- We will be working on change work at the source rather than simply focusing on surface issues.
No more wandering around, not knowing where to go next.
I need to talk to my partner
I respect this. Having a plan or desire and sharing it with your partner and asking for their support is very different than asking for permission. You don’t need to ask anyone for permission to nurture and care for yourself.
- Having the support of our loved ones is something most people want. One of the first steps in moving yourself up on your priority list is making the best decisions for you.
- Sometimes we short change ourselves when we are not seeing eye to eye with our people in order to minimize conflict. Ultimately, everyone in our lives “lose” when we do this.
If you know that something is best for you and you are committed to yourself, that is the most powerful support you can have.
- I create a safe, sacred and ultra-supportive coaching space for my clients. If you need additional support, we will strategize and put steps in place to get you the support that you need.
- I offer support to my clients in between coaching sessions via email and text.
- As your loved ones see the amazing transformation that you are undergoing, they may jump on board (if they aren’t already). 😊
- Support and encouragement from loved ones is wonderful, yet not necessary for success in this program.
How coaching benefits your loved ones:
- You will be focusing on yourself as well as your loved ones.
- As my clients progress in their programs, they find that they are better able to be present for, engage with and show up for their people.
- Prioritizing ourselves is the most considerate and loving thing you can do for your loved ones because they receive the best of you!
- My clients enjoy healthier relationships with their family, friends, coworkers, etc. as a result of their coaching journeys.
My programs will provide you with the tools and resources you need to live your most authentic life with greater peace, confidence, joy, and integrity. It is infectious and everyone wins!
Coaching feels unnecessary and selfish
You are not alone! This is a very common feeling.
- Most of my clients begin their programs feeling this way. Our feelings are real; however, they are not always reflective of the facts.
The definition of selfish is being concerned with one’s self without consideration or regard for others.
When you move yourself up on your priority list you are making an investment in everyone who comes in contact with you, particularly the individuals closest to you! This is an extremely unselfish thing to do.
I think I can do it on my own, I have all the knowledge, I just have to do it.
Most people are well versed in Nike’s catchy slogan, “Just do it”. Our culture often sends us the message that we “should” be able to do things on our own.
- Many people set goals only to abandon them for many reasons, none of which include not having enough knowledge.
- How has this mentality failed you in the past?
My systems combine taking action on attainable goals in conjunction with support and accountability (all of which are included in my programs 😊).
- Individuals have a 95% success rate compared to an 8 – 30% success rate for those who go it alone.
- Attempting transformation on our own generally results in unrealistic expectations, biting off more than you can chew, discouragement and ultimately quitting.
What are you waiting for, let’s do this thing together!
Client Testimonials
“I’m really glad that I followed through with coaching because I almost didn’t. It’s the first time in 25-30 years that I’m investing in myself. As a result of working with Shannon, I feel much calmer and more peaceful. I am handling situations much differently than I did before, which feels really good, and people are noticing this new calmer Cheryl. I’m learning to think before I speak, stay calm and not react. I am trying new things and have decided to really live my life and it feels great! I’m in charge of my life. The “Old Cheryl” let other people make her decisions for her. I’m doing really well and have made so much progress since I started coaching with Shannon. Sometimes it feels weird because I’m so different than I was 3 months ago.”
“I worked with Shannon for 3 months and the personal growth (and professional) will stay with me for years to come! I learned so much about myself and how to structure my family life through her guided sessions! I’ve grown and made some big changes for my mental health! So happy I took the chance! Thank you for helping me see what I was longing for in life. I feel empowered to lead my life in this new direction and excited to see what else I can improve in our lives to be our perfect us- which is like no one else and held to no one else’s standards anymore 🥰 I love listening to my own ‘voice’ or how things go instead of what others ‘say’. Know – you truly made a difference in my (and my family’s) life! I’m more ME than I have ever been! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so grateful for you and our time together!”
“Before coaching with Shannon, I struggled with limiting beliefs. Then, Shannon introduced me to my future best self through meditation. The 3 most significant results I’ve experienced from coaching with Shannon are investing in and committing to myself, counting on Shannon as a healthy resource and developing new perspective on situation that I’m having trouble seeing around. There are so many things that I love about coaching with Shannon. The investment and commitment of my time to coaching feels so valuable and is a true contribution to my self-care. Discussing tools and alternate options to my challenges has allowed me to breakthrough so many of my limiting beliefs and make healthy life changes. This experience is truly intrinsically rewarding.”
“I’ve known Shannon for many years as her "other self," in her private life-- and as a mom and amazing woman. More recently though, I got to see a new side to her when she helped guide me through my first coaching session. I most impressed with her unique coaching style and her awareness, which avoids retraumatization and makes a person feel very comfortable being open and honest. Shannon's ability to ask the right questions paired with her guidance through the session, feels easy and productive. By the end of the first session, I had action items for myself that felt obtainable and clear. Coaching with Shannon is an amazing opportunity and I highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Shannon is so easy to talk and open up to. You can easily tell as soon as meet her that she is so caring and loves what she does. She genuinely cares about people and truly wants to help you make your life less stressful. She had great tips for me and I am applying the tools she suggested to help make my life a little bit easier. Thank you, Shannon for all you do!”
“This was my first life coach experience so I wasn't sure what to expect from Shannon. She immediately put me at ease and I was able to share my experiences and feelings openly and honestly. Taking a look at my past to help explain why I feel the way I do now was an eye opener. Anyone who is self-employed will tell you that it takes time to build your business and during that time you will experience self-doubt. How you navigate through those feelings is what determines where you end up. I told her that I believe everything happens for a reason and all though we may not know what it is yet, we will eventually.”
“I coached with Shannon for 4 months. During that time, I got the support and accountability that I needed along with a coaching program tailored just to me. Right in the beginning at session #2, I felt a renewed investment in myself. Before working with Shannon, I was in survival mode and not really engaged in my life. Through our time together, I truly reemerged. I found a voice with others that I never had before. I began making choices and setting boundaries that were healthy for me and the people around me. I never thought I could do that before. I feel like a different person having acknowledged my childhood and living as me. I am now more comfortable with who I am, the body I have, and being myself in the world unapologetically. I get to exist and have my feelings. I don’t have to give it all away to everyone and everything else. I feel strong in my boundaries. I had lost desire about and enjoyment in my life. I have now found it!”
