The Reality Many Faith-Led Professionals and Leaders Face:

You’re constantly juggling work, family, and responsibilities – but, you feel drained.

You give so much to others, but there’s never time for your own soul.

Your schedule is full, yet your spirit feels dry and your heart feels distant from God.

You’re so overextended that even your career feels off – but you don’t know what to do next.

You’re always doing, always striving—yet fulfillment still feels out of reach.

Refocus + Thrive | Ready To Make A Change

Refocus + Thrive | Start Here | Thats Where I Come In

Now Imagine This Instead…

You wake up energized, grounded, and at peace.

You confidently set boundaries and prioritize what truly matters.

Your work and life align with your God-given purpose.

You’re no longer driven by pressure – you’re led by peace and grace.

You’re walking closely with God and your relationship with Him is growing stronger every day.

So, what’s the missing piece?

You’re not failing. You’re just trying to carry it all alone. But God never intended for you to live this way.

When you surrender the weight and invite God to lead every area of your life, you’ll being to experience a new kind of rhythm – one that is filled with:

Righteousness – A deepening intimacy with God that anchors everything you do.
Peace – Harmony between work and life, rooted in grace instead of grind.
Joy – True fulfillment that flows from alignment, not achievement.

This Is Where I Come In

I help busy faith-led professionals and leaders who feel burned out, stuck, and overextended refocus their hearts and realign their lives with God’s truth.

Through faith-centered strategies, I equip and empower you to:

Break free from busyness and burnout.

Increase intimacy with God.

Overcome fear and limiting beliefs.

Create a life and career that reflect your values, purpose, and calling.

Reset and Realign for a Life that Thrives

I know what it’s like to be burned out and to run on empty, just going through the motions. I know what it’s like to want to do everything for everyone and be everything to all people. I am well aware of what it’s like to feel as if I’m spinning my wheels, but going nowhere in my life and career. I’ve figured out the negative mindsets that will stop you from achieving the work/life balance you desire and keep you stuck in a place where you really don’t want to be.

Not every season needs the same solution. Whether you’re craving rest, clarity, or a full reset—there’s something here for you. Explore the services below and choose what fits your current season best.

Shushanna's Identity Reset Workshop couldn't have come at a better time in my life. Her wisdom, resources, and verses throughout the workshop were perfect, reminding one of who they are. I felt renewed afterwards with energy and focus to keep going forward.

Rahel Yehdego

I had the opportunity to participate in Shushanna’s Identity workshop. There was a moment in my life when all the pillars of my life had fallen- divorce, death, losing my job, health challenges, etc.I was feeling like a tornado, spinning around, not knowing when these events would be over and where they were leading me to. As an onion, with each event happening, my self-confidence, purpose and identity started to fade away to the point where I didn’t know who I was anymore. Shushanna helped me redefine my identity, to distinguish between my false and true identity and focus on what really makes me happy and to recognize my strengths and skills that I had overlooked and dismissed. To stand up again hasn’t been easy, but I can say with confidence that today, I bounced back and became more resilient, thanks to the tools and advice she shared with me, based on my own individual needs. Finally, I just want to add that her book has been my nightstand companion since then.

I was feeling very disorganized and felt as if I had too many things going on in my life. I was involved in too many little things! I had been trying to get myself organized and do it on my own, but I realized that I needed help; I needed a coach. During my Rapid Change Coaching Session with Shushanna I felt listened to and heard. She allowed me to express myself and her feedback was invaluable. Thanks to the session, I had an action plan for how to begin getting organized and I felt encouraged and empowered to get serious about making changes and finally began to get organized!

Yvonne Henry, Washington, DC

My situation prior to starting coaching was very overwhelming. I was dealing with juggling home, school, parenting and finances. My finances had me depressed and it was affecting other areas of my life. I knew I had to find a better way to deal with things, but I just couldn’t seem to find that way without some help. Coaching with Shushanna was helpful because it took into account the physical, spiritual and social aspects of me. I was encouraged to ensure that I focused on them all so I could achieve success. She also took time to cheer me on when I needed the extra push! I was able to face my issues head on, deal with the root causes and come up with ways to handle them better. We also came up with creative ways for me to handle juggling all the different parts of my life. We used timelines and accountability checkpoints to help me get positive results and reduce some of my stress and frustration. This led to me feeling more in control of my life and less overwhelmed.

Meisha, Maryland

Before working with Shushanna I was dealing with analysis paralysis and lack of momentum in finding a new job. I was also consumed by my lack of follow-up and couldn’t seem to get past that. Shushanna’s reassurance was priceless. She reminded me that my path has value and she gave me a new perspective based on the information that I provided to her. She is a good listener and asks the right questions for new breakthroughs and she helps you work through plateaus as well. As a result of working with Shushanna my resume and cover letter are revamped and updated to better fit my needs at this time. I also have more search options when searching for a new job. My greatest benefit of working with Shushanna is that she is very organized and strategic, and brings a new sense of calm to the process. I would recommend working with Shushanna, she will remove the blocks that might be in the way of getting results and having success. I am very pleased I made the decision to work with Shushanna! If you are on the fence, just dive in!

Almarie Fernadez, San Juan, Puerto Rico

I was at a point where I was overwhelmed, lacked focus and motivation and was unhappy with my career and financial status. I desperately needed someone to help steer me in the direction of stability and success. Due to many let downs in the past, I had convinced myself that I was incapable of accomplishing certain things. I was stuck in complacency and was sitting on my gifts and talents because I thought I wasn’t good enough or strong enough. Shushanna was an excellent listener and she gave me a strong sense that she was truly invested in my growth and development. Working with her was a true partnership and I didn’t feel like I was alone in my journey to success. She provided me with amazing resources (articles, websites, charts, etc.) that I still refer back to as I continue my own personal growth. As a result of working with Shushanna, I was able to make my ideal daily and weekly schedule a reality. I created boundaries in situations that were prohibiting my personal advancement and success. The greatest thing is that I’m still able to maintain the changes. Shushanna had me tap into my inner strengths, strengths that were not realized prior to her coaching. She allowed me to see that God was bigger and better for me. She helped me get out of my own way, to dismiss paralyzing thoughts of discouragement, and to utilize numerous resources already present in my life. This all led to greater self-contentment, happiness, and joy.
