How It's Really Going with Shana Recker

In this episode, I’m sharing something very real and very current. This morning, I sat down to delete old podcast episodes dating all the way back to 2016. As I moved through them one by one, I realized I wasn’t just cleaning up content. I was looking at past versions of myself. Different belief systems. Different seasons. Different motivations. From my network marketing era, to business coaching, to personal development and mindset culture, this episode is a candid reflection on growth, scarcity, hustle, and what success actually means to me now. This isn’t about regret or shame.It’s about perspective.And letting go of what no longer fits. In this episode, I talk about: Why some of my earliest podcast episodes make me cringe now How fast money and success can be driven by fear and scarcity The pressure to hustle, perform, and prove worth How personal development culture became just another hamster wheel Losing my house, my confidence, and the illusion of “having it all” How perimenopause forced me to slow down and reassess everything What success means to me at 50 Why deleting old episodes feels like shedding skin Making space for what’s next, even when you don’t know exactly what that is yet If you’re feeling stuck in hustle mode, questioning the version of success you’re chasing, or sensing that something in your life needs to be released, this episode is for you. Sometimes growth doesn’t look like more.Sometimes it looks like less, with more clarity. Reflection question for you: What are you holding onto that no longer reflects who you are? And what might be possible if you let it go?   Thank you all so much for listening! It genuinely means a lot to know that my journey, and what I’m learning along the way, helps you too.

I just finished watching Members Only: Palm Beach on Netflix, and I didn’t expect it to hit me the way it did. At first glance, the show looks like over-the-top wealth, social rules, and Palm Beach society drama. And yes, some of it is ridiculous. But underneath all of that, there’s a much deeper message about identity, conformity, and what happens when people believe they need to change who they are to belong. In this episode, I talk about Ro Mina storyline and why it made me so uncomfortable and, at the same time, so fired up. Watching her be coached, corrected, and pressured to fit the “Palm Beach way” made one thing very clear to me: any environment that requires you to erase parts of yourself in order to be accepted will eventually cost you your confidence. I share how this theme shows up far beyond reality TV. It shows up in business, social media, friendships, family dynamics, and especially in the constant self-questioning so many of us live with: Should I say this? Should I post that? What will people think? What if they misunderstand me? I also talk honestly about my own experience with trying to be palatable online, how that led to burnout, and why I’ve stopped performing for approval. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is something I deeply believe: fake is an energy, and people feel it. Even when they can’t explain why, they feel it. This episode is about why being yourself is not reckless, dramatic, or risky. It’s efficient. It simplifies your life. It attracts the right people. And it makes success feel lighter instead of like a constant uphill push. I wrap up by sharing three practical steps you can take to start being more yourself, even if it feels uncomfortable at first: 1. Recognizing when fear is stopping you and acting anyway 2. Starting small instead of trying to change everything at once 3. Detaching from outcomes and letting go of controlling perception If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to fit into someone else’s version of who you should be, this conversation is for you. Thank you all so much for listening! It genuinely means a lot to know that my journey, and what I’m learning along the way, helps you too.

Have you ever felt like you don’t recognize yourself anymore? In this episode, I’m talking honestly about a season I know a lot of women experience in midlife, when everything feels disjointed. Work feels harder. Social plans feel draining. Relationships shift. And you don’t quite know how to explain what’s wrong, even to yourself. Instead of focusing on physical symptoms, I’m sharing what this transition has been like for me mentally and emotionally as I’ve moved through perimenopause toward menopause. The fog. The need to pull back. The guilt around saying no. And the quiet grief that can come with changing friendships, priorities, and capacity. I talk about pulling back socially and professionally, prioritizing sleep, stepping away from a business that no longer fit, and giving myself time to stabilize instead of forcing clarity. This episode is my reminder to you, and to myself, that pulling back doesn’t mean you’re failing or quitting. It means your capacity has changed. And giving yourself space may be exactly what helps you find your footing again. In this episode, I talk about: 🎤 Why pulling back socially was one of the first signs something was shifting for me 🎤 The pressure to keep showing up when you don’t feel like yourself 🎤 How alcohol, sleep, and energy started to affect me differently 🎤 Friendship changes and the grief that can come with them 🎤 Why stabilizing myself mattered more than pushing forward 🎤 Letting go of goals that belonged to an earlier version of me 🎤 What it feels like to slowly start coming back online in a more grounded way   If you’re in a season where your life feels quieter, slower, or smaller than it used to, I want you to know you’re not broken and you’re not behind. You’re moving through a transition that asks for rest, honesty, and a lot more self-compassion than we’re used to giving ourselves. If you know a woman who’s in this phase and might feel less alone hearing this, please share the episode with her. Thank you all so much for listening!

Send Shana a Text Message A Sunday morning rant about some of these ethics accounts, and how they call out coaches has me fired up! As you know, I am all about being ethical in my business and learning about how to be better as a coach. But as I am doing my own research, I am noticing that SOME of the ones who are educating on BS marketing practices in the Coaching industry are shaming and being downright MEAN in their content. This is my point of view as a Coach who is learning about ethics, seeing where I have gone wrong in the past, and making the necessary changes but also won't be BULLIED and made to feel SHAME because of the mistakes I've made. I'm so fired up about this that I can't wait for hair and makeup!  Support the showThank you all so much for listening!

Send Shana a Text Message In this episode, I have an honest conversation about what it really takes to make 7-figures as an online coach. Many coaches use the promise of luxury and a million-dollar income as the ultimate marker of success, but is it achievable for everyone? I explore the realities of hitting the 7-figure mark as a solopreneur online and why these marketing tactics hurt the coaching industry.___________________________________________ Support the showThank you all so much for listening!

Send Shana a Text Message In this episode, I share an update on what I'm learning about the online coaching industry and ethical marketing. It's undoubtedly an eye-opener for sure. I also share some personal life lessons that have come up over the past few weeks as I do this work.As I learn more, I'm re-evaluating my own business programs and marketing practices, so I can make the necessary changes to be better for this industry.This isn't easy to do as someone guilty of using unethical marketing practices in the past. However, my business is helping new online entrepreneurs start their businesses. Hence, I feel it's important to know and understand ethical business practices to teach them to my clients. It's a LOT to unpack. This is how it's really going right now with me and all of this.___________________Links in this podcast: Ash Riley: https://www.instagram.com/ashrising/Ethical Business Post by Ash: https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMxGm1u9y0/Jillian Murphy, Sales Coach: https://www.instagram.com/thejillianmurphy/My Kajabi 30-Day Trial Affiliate Link: https://app.kajabi.com/r/hUEQxkCzSupport the showThank you all so much for listening!

Send Shana a Text Message I have been absent from being here online for a few weeks, but I have a good reason. A while back, I started feeling off about my business. I've had lots going on personally in my life, and to be honest, I felt burned out. My business was also slowing down in sales, and I was struggling to keep up with the demand required of me to sell sell sell to make an income. Everything was feeling off. At this same time, I was having a bad experience trying to get out of a coaching program I no longer aligned with and full disclosure, I could no longer afford to take part. That coach was not letting me out of my contract... so that led me down a path of what was ethical and not ethical in online coaching, and well, I uncovered A LOT. This is part one of some things I've uncovered in the coaching industry that I believe really need to change. Things I am guilty of myself and no shame, no stories; my guess is a lot of coaches are guilty of because it's how we were taught. But that doesn't excuse the behaviour. As a coach that helps new online coaches start their businesses, I believe it's my responsibility to do my own research on what is changing in the industry and adjust my business accordingly, as well as educate those in my following what I'm learning. So this is how it's really going with me right now.... buckle up; this one gets spicy.** NOTE THIS IS MY OWN OPINION AND NOT FACT**  Everyone is entitled to their opinion; you can agree or disagree; it's completely up to you.  __________________________Links: Let's connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamshanareckerKyle Cease: https://kylecease.comFTC Coaching Scam Info:https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/when-business-offer-or-coaching-program-scamJillian Murphy, Sales Coach: https://www.instagram.com/thejillianmurphy/https://salesandsocialpodcast.podbean.com/Support the showThank you all so much for listening!
