Hi, I’m Shanetta, an Intuitive Living Coach, storyteller and mother.
I’m also a veteran publicist who spent nearly two decades helping others shape their stories while learning how to rewrite my own.
For years, I knew how to show up, achieve, and make things happen, but I was also navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to hold everything together. After becoming a mother, those patterns became impossible to ignore. I found myself asking: What would it look like to create a life that actually supports me?
Through my own journey of reconnecting with my body, rebuilding self-trust, and learning to listen to my intuition, I discovered a different way of living. One rooted in capacity, alignment, and creating space for what truly matters.
Today, I help working mothers break old patterns, reclaim their time and energy, and create lives that feel manageable, meaningful, and their own.

Credentials and Background Experience:
Before coaching I spent nearly two decades, as a publicist helping changemakers, creatives, and mission-driven global brands tell their stories. I’ve worked with global brands, authors, therapists, entrepreneurs and cultural leaders to clarify their message, amplify their work and create meaningful impact.
Alongside my PR career, I spent nearly a decade writing for major lifestyle publications, where I became known for elevating untold storie, particularly those centered on Black women, women’s health, culture, and motherhood.
My personal essays and reported features have appeared in The Cut, Allure, InStyle, Essence, HuffPost, R29 Unbothered, Well+Good, and BDG Media. My writing and coaching are connected by the same belief: the stories we carry shape the lives we create.
In 2020, I combined my love of wellness and storytelling to launch Motif, a digital community created to help women of color connect, heal, and share their stories. That community grew into The Motif Podcast, named a top health and healing podcast by Vanity Fair. In 2025, the show relaunched as Your Body Knows, reflecting my continued exploration of mind-body connection, embodiment, and intuitive living.
I’m also a mother and an advocate for young girls, serving on the Advisory Board of Shero’s Rise, a nonprofit that empowers girls from underserved communities to become agents of change.
I hold a Master’s in Communications and a Bachelor’s in Business Management and Marketing. I’m currently completing a 211-hour Level 2 ICF-accredited Life Coach certification and have trained through the Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach Program.
After giving birth to my daughter, something shifted in me.
I had always believed that our life’s journey is about remembering who we truly are. And becoming a mother brought that question into sharper focus: Who was I beyond the roles, expectations, and patterns I had spent years carrying?
I knew I wanted more for my life. More purpose. More alignment. More of myself.
Around that same time, after nearly a decade of navigating recovery from Complex-PTSD and an eating disorder, I began working with a somatic experiencing practitioner. For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to truly be present in my body and not constantly analyzing, striving, or living from my head.
Rediscovering my mind-body connection changed everything. It became the foundation for the work I do today: helping women reconnect with themselves, trust their inner wisdom, and create lives that support who they truly are.
Because when we stop overriding ourselves and start listening inward, we create the space to make choices that feel aligned, sustainable, and our own.
