HER STORY ⟡ Shanique of Conscious Coach
Today, we are meeting Conscious Coach Shanique!
Why I started:
Hey hey hey dear Thrivers! I’m Shanique and I go by The Unique Shanique. It rhymes so you won’t forget it. I’m a qualified life coach, children’s author, speaker and meditation music facilitator (playing the singing bowls). I was once a driven yet deeply conflicted woman. I had dreams of building a fulfilling life, but every time I stood on the brink of success, I found myself holding back, questioning my worth, or procrastinating until opportunities slipped away. My life was a cycle of self-sabotage—moments of hope followed by self-imposed barriers that left me feeling stuck and frustrated.
Growing up, I learned to prioritize the needs of others over my own. Due to childhood trauma I became a “boundary - less people pleaser”, “the insecure one”, “the quiet one” and “the strong perfectionist”. Since I put up the facade that I didn’t need anyone or anything, I rarely allowed myself to be seen or ask for help. Especially not from God.
This habit, rooted in a desire to please others and ignore myself, became my comfort zone. But as I entered my early 20’s the toll of low self worth became too great. I was unhappy, suicidal, promiscuous, surrounded by narcissists and plagued by a nagging sense that I was meant for more.
One pivotal evening, after a particularly exhausting day assisting my ex and mother, I broke down. I realized I had spent years chasing other people’s approval while neglecting my own dreams. Determined to make a change, I decided that instead of helping others dreams come true I would rather die. I knew these thoughts weren’t healthy so I started searching. That’s when I found myself on the floor crying out in prayer—not the polite prayer I was used to but a raw, heartfelt plea for guidance. I cried out and God answered my prayers which led me to reading personal development books and following spiritual gurus.
Through years of deep self-reflection, spirituality and an awakening journey, I uncovered the roots of my self-sabotage. I realized my self doubts and stress stemmed from unchallenged beliefs about my worthiness, PTSD and a fear of failure. Slowly but surely, I began to reframe my thoughts and build healthier habits. I learned to set boundaries, celebrate small wins, and trust in my ability to handle challenges.
As I embraced my transformation, my confidence grew. I began to take bold steps toward my goals—pursuing a career I was passionate about, cultivating meaningful relationships, getting married and carving out time for self-care. My newfound clarity helped me align my actions with my values, and my calm demeanor inspired those around me.
Today, I look back at my journey with pride. Before I was riddled with shame. I no longer live in the shadow of self-sabotage. Instead, I thrive with a deep sense of satisfaction, knowing I’m in control of my life. As a coach I love empowering others so, I pray my story reminds us all that true transformation is possible when we confront our inner barriers and step into our power no matter what hell we survived in childhood/ adulthood.
What I love about being a business owner:
What I love about being a business owner is how much it expands me. As a coach I’m all about leveling up, growth and becoming our best selves. I know many have huge goals but mine have always been intricately small goals. But they are as impactful as they are small. Accomplishing small personal development goals helps me threefold. 1) I transform into the type of person that gives value 2) I literally don’t recognize myself anymore because I’m so different from the old me. 3) I’ve had to become someone who doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk because others are watching. As a former stay at home mom. I knew deep within I wouldn’t be fulfilled if I reserved all my magic just for my family. Being a business owner allows me to share that light with others, just as Jesus intended me to do. Matthew 5:16 says “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
What type of impact do you hope to have on those you meet and/or who purchase your products?
I pray to inspire them to live up to their potential and to live consciously so they can be in co-control of their life. Most of the people I help are successful adult survivors of trauma and from my experience they tend to fall victim to self sabotage. I plan to help them go from self sabotage and existential crisis to rediscovering their purpose, building unshakable confidence, and achieving success without the stress.
Who or what inspires you?
My future self, God, my family and my haters.
What is your favorite piece of advice you've ever received or favorite quote?
The best piece of advice I’ve received is that “laziness leads to unhappiness”.
What does BEAUTY mean to you?
To me Beauty means glorification, adornment and compassion.
What advice would you give your past self just starting your business?
I would tell myself to step out of my comfort zone quicker and to believe that I don’t need to be perfect to be worth it! Boom.
