𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 — mentally, emotionally, and physically — and still questioning if you’re doing enough?
You’re not alone.
𝘼 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 is a podcast for people who want to grow in a calmer, healthier, and more grounded way.
Hi, I’m Shannon Marqueta — your habit and mindset coach, passionate about helping you build self-trust, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy habits that support real life.
Each week, we talk about things like:
• nervous system regulation & emotional overwhelm
• healthy habits for your mind, body, and spirit
• slowing down and responding instead of reacting
• rebuilding self-trust and confidence
• overthinking, pressure, and perfectionism
• creating a healthier, steadier way to grow
This podcast is not about hustle, hype, or doing more.
It’s about learning how to:
- think clearly
- live intentionally
- respond calmly
- and grow steadily without burning yourself out.
You’ll find practical tools, honest conversations, grounded encouragement, and real-life perspective that helps growth become sustainable — not overwhelming.
My approach is rooted in lived experience, thoughtful reflection, and the belief that what we do and what we consume matters: mind, body, and spirit.
And get excited, because new episodes drop weekly.
I'm so glad you're here!
XO,
Shannon

External progress is often an overflow of internal work.
People will congratulate and celebrate your achievements, often as if it happened quickly, when in reality it took years of commitment and dedication to growth and consistency that no one ever saw or recognized.
Invisible progress are the intangibles. How you handle your attitude, commitment, leadership, responses.
Success is far more than monetary. Define your own timeline and remember that the progress behind-the-scenes may be quiet, but it's steadiness will speak volumes in time.

Shannon

Do you ever get discouraged working a goal?
Have you felt like it's impossible and even asked, 'What's the point?'
Goals take immense focus and commitment. It's often not the goal itself that's hard, but who we're required to become in the process.
The messy middle is just that, a defining season that shapes and forms us into what the goal and our future require.
Staying committed in this season is one of the best things you can do to become and achieve all you're working towards.
Let's talk about how to stay motivated even when it's hard.

Do you tend to notice "wins," or only areas for improvement?
It's important to celebrate the progress, not just critique the imperfections.
Every time you celebrate and recognize your progress and wins, you strengthen your inner voice's dialogue to speak positively and encouragingly.
Let's talk about some simple ways to do this regularly so you continue to set yourself up for success!

Do you ever feel shame, disappointment, or even failure when you don't achieve something you set out to do? Is this usually self-inflicted or caused by others?
We are all motivated differently, but focusing on our values and reasons behind the goal for fuel and focus will always be more effective in our success short and long-term than shame-based motivation.
Make it clear why you're establishing the goal, then track your progress and celebrate along the way!

Do you have an "all or nothing" mentality?
Do you constantly feel pressure to perform and be perfect to prove your worth?
I want to encourage you that doing your best doesn't mean doing it all. Every small step you take is worth celebrating.
The consistency and self-discipline you are instilling is one of the greatest habits!
You are worth the effort and showing up for, protect your peace and keep going.

Shannon

Small habits count, but how do you do them?
You don't do them by trying to overhaul your whole life all at once.
Identify your anchor habits, be realistic, aware, and intentionally consistent to be successful.
Let's talk about how to make small habits stick while also avoiding burnout.
