Why I Coach Faith-Led Leaders
With years of experience in public health, working on global health initiatives, I’ve had the privilege of serving others through large-scale projects that make a difference. However, I felt a call to serve on a deeper, more personal level, which led me to life and career coaching and mentoring. Now, I help faith-led leaders who feel stuck, overextended, or spiritually dry realign their lives with God’s truth and experience the peace and power that come from abiding in Him.

I’m passionate about helping you lead with clarity, live with purpose, and thrive in every season—without losing yourself or burning out in the process.

Refocus. Abide. Thrive.

I believe that true success isn’t about doing more—it’s about being deeply rooted in Christ. The pressure to perform, lead, and succeed can leave even the strongest leaders feeling disconnected and empty:

 

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” – John 15:4-5

This is the foundation of everything I teach and coach. When you stay connected to God—intimately and consistently—you shift from survival mode to Spirit-led living.

You move from:

Exhaustion → Empowerment

Confusion → Clarity

Burnout → Balance

Hustle → Fruitfulness

I’ve experienced this transformation myself —and now, I help others experience it too.

If you’re ready to embrace this approach to your life and leadership journey, let’s start the conversation.

A Little More About Shushanna

I’m a global citizen who calls the Washington, DC area home, where I live with my husband and son. An avid traveler, I’m always exploring new places and cultures.
