Hey everyone! It's Alison, and I'm back with an amazing interview on the Because I Can podcast.Get ready, because this week’s guest is someone you’ll want to know of!Who am I talking about? Well, only the fabulous Shauna Metcalf! How would I describe Shauna? I'd say she is an amazing mother, a fabulous woman, and a business owner extraordinaire. Plus, she has horses, how cool is that?Currently, she is running her own women's clothing boutique (Hello fashion queen!!), but she actually started her career as a dental hygienist (PLOT TWIST!!)Why did she make such a huge career jump? Like a lot of women I've had on this podcast, Shauna was too busy working for someone else. She craved freedom (don't we all?), she wanted to spend more time with her family, and so, she took the jump (YAYYY!).Today, she tells me (and you) all about how she did it (specials thanks to her dad, we love a supportive father) and where she's going now!So, if this sounds like your cup of tea, grab yourself a nice drink, sit in your favorite chair (we all have a favorite chair, right? It's not just me?), and give us a listen! Key Takeaways- Intro (00:00)- Shauna's backstory (02:02)- How Shauna's business journey started (05:15)- Stop looking for perfection!

This week Margo is joined once again by her neighborhood friend, Shauna Ahern to discuss finding joy in enough and the things that really matter. Shauna has won a James Beard award for one of her three cookbooks as well as awards for teaching. She currently runs her own teaching, coaching, and editing business on Vashon Island. The best of all her experiences is the joy of creating and being in community. Margo and Shauna discuss: Why there is no room for joy if there is fear in the mind Swapping your to-do list for a joy list How Shauna practices joy and sticks to her joy list Starting with your why (before the what or the how) The many systems of society and how none are built for joy Inspiring people to find joy in enough That each of us are the heroes of our own lives Why trauma can’t be released without movement These days, Shauna is continuing the work she started with ENOUGH through her subscription newsletter, where she writes and talks with people about prioritizing joy to heal from trauma. Focusing on joy gives us enough energy and compassion to help others heal as well. Through joy, we can change our culture.

Rebranding is a labor of love. When done right, it can propel your image and your confidence. When done wrong, it can confuse your audience and send the wrong message about your business. This episode is dedicated to my experience rebranding over the past seven months with my highly talented and wonderfully attentive designer, Shauna Haider. On this episode, Shauna and I discuss: Her nontraditional path to graphic design, How Shauna knew I was ready to embark on a rebrand at this level, The reason Shauna believes she’s never had to market her business, Why I was shocked at the feedback people were giving me about my new visual identity, and What made investing with Shauna the best money I’ve ever spent in business.

On this episode of This is a Man’s World, She Who Dares Wins Podcast, our guest is Shauna. She works in tarmacking. Tarmacking is one of the dirtiest, hardest and smelliest jobs in construction. While it has it’s downside, she loves it. Many of her family members were also in construction. Prior she worked in a salon. When working in tarmacking you have to be in place to execute. Every day is a learning curve. There is something new every day. No day is the same. Part of the job involves going in and making sure it’s hot enough. Once the machine is hot enough, it’s ready to go. Then you have to move quickly. If it gets messed up, the whole thing is ruined, which creates some pressure at first. Through loads and loads of practice, she has learned the ropes. This career pushes her on and empowers her to do more. The ultimate goal is that she’ll be running things. Right now she is in the process of learning the other side of the business. Shauna’s advice is to go for it. There’s no reason to look back and have regret. You’ll never regret something you tried. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out.
