The Internal Work You Need Before Transformation

What happens when you reach the point where you cannot pretend anymore?

In this episode of Groove with Portia, I welcome Shannan Kym, TEDx speaker, life coach, and author of Find the Answers Within You: 10 Pathways Toward Self Discovery.

Shannan shares the pivotal moment on August 17, 2019 when she made the decision to speak her truth and leave behind an unhealthy marriage. What began as a breaking point became an awakening.

We talk about:
• Reaching rock bottom and choosing life
• Breaking free from toxic relationships
• Taking responsibility without self blame
• Understanding why we attract certain partners
• Setting boundaries with narcissistic personalities
• Forgiveness as an ongoing personal practice
• Why forgiving does not require forgetting
• Protecting sobriety and protecting your children
• Finding your personal why
• Living as a role model through authenticity

Shannan speaks candidly about addiction, vulnerability, stillness, and the courage it takes to sit with yourself long enough to uncover truth. Her book outlines 10 pathways toward healing and self discovery, offering guidance for anyone navigating trauma, people pleasing, unhealthy relationships, or identity loss.

This conversation is for the listener who feels stuck, who knows something needs to change, and who is ready to begin within.

Give yourself grace. Protect your peace. And remember that answers often live within you.
