In Shana's own words:Growing up, I watched the people around me and saw so much pressure to pretend.  Most people were scripting their lives from the dictations of their parents and society…here is how you become a female or male adult…do these things, don't do these things…this is the life you ‘should' be leading…what your life should look like…this is the life you want; this binary is the only acceptable way.I was born into an abusive household and was raised inside an evangelical Christian cult.  Because I experienced my life almost entirely as high control and was punished for being myself.  Imaginary worlds were my only safe space and books became my friends and mentors.   My life doesn't look at all like my childhood.  I spent the last fifteen years studying psychology as an amateur, building on my emotional intelligence and personal awareness moving through life and healing.  I have changed so much in the last 7 years and as a result, so has the business since I started it part-time in 2016.Several years ago while leading group coaching for entrepreneurs and business owners of varying years and decades of experience I realized my scholarly studies were taking up more and more space in the world.   Through the process of building the firm and connecting with clients, I realized that our mission is larger than I originally imagined.  I needed to let our ethos, our culture and the brand take up more space in the world, support and work with more people in a deeper and more expansive way.My work went from focusing on empowering others to design their lives through intention to recognize the power of my work with leadership as well as in our individual lives and now focuses on Intentional and Ethical Leadership and Living. We empower people, and those who are also leaders, to connect with curiosity, respect, and accountability to transform their lives and leadership.  To build community and connection and to move away from the idea of a lonely leader at the top to understanding the power and strength of a community of voices driving innovation and profitability through a healthy culture. Learn more at:  https://www.concinnate.world/ Please leave a review or send us a Voice note letting us know what you enjoyed at:Back2Basics reconnecting to the essence of YOU (podpage.com)Follow us on IG and FB @Back2BasicsPodcast

In this episode, I speak with Shana Francesca on being raised in an evangelical christian cult, how she has used adversity to help others, intentional living and curiosity.  ★ Shana's Bio: ★ I am a Keynote Speaker, Consultant, Workshop Facilitator and Scholar of Intentional and Ethical Leadership and Living. I am Founder and CEO of Concinnate LLC.I live my life leaning into intention through Curiosity, Respect, and Accountability, and through my keynotes, conversations, and workshops, I invite people to do the same.I believe that our present and future are transformed when we take ownership of designing our lives and are willing to be responsible and accountable for our impact.I was led to this work I think in great part due to being born into an abusive household and an evangelical christian cult. Growing up in that environment I had a front row seat to what leadership looks like and the harmful impact(s) it has.Connect with Shana:https://linktr.ee/CONCINNATE

Leaders are measured by their connections and not their title.  The best organizations are lead by people who take ownership of more than their own performance.  They are inspired to help others be successful knowing that if they are, they will find their own success. Shana Francesca had an extremely challenging upbringing (in an evangelical cult) that taught her about the pitfalls of poor leadership at a very young age.  Most would agree that children should not have to experience abusive leadership but Shana has turned those experiences into a career helping people and organizations build and lead diverse teams.  She believes that diversity is paramount for success and profitability in business.

Shana Francesca often struggled with thoughts of self-doubt and feelings of being unworthy or unlovable. This led to suicidal thoughts, body dysmorphia, anorexia, bulimia, and other harmful practices That was then… Today, Shana shares her story on how we can live more joyful and connected lives than we thought possible.         Shana is a  speaker, writer, and entrepreneur.  She has been interviewed on more than sixty podcasts worldwide and has been published in Medium, Authority Magazine,  Shoutout LA, and Emotional Intelligence magazine. She helps people live more joyful and connected lives through the principles of life design.  "I believe our present and future are transformed when we infuse our lives with intention, we design our lives and realize the power in accepting ourselves as the author of our story.” We empower people to get back to the place where they listen to their 'knowing,' not their 'wanting'. Wanting is influenced by all the marketing we interact with every day, telling us who we 'should' be and what box we have to fit ourselves in. When we connect to who we were born to be, who we long to become, and who we are becoming, our lives change. What we create at CONCINNATE is unique to the people we design for - the messy, beautiful, imperfect, and relentlessly divergent lives of our clients. Your life is a series of choices that lead you somewhere close or further away from who you are at your core.

Join us for a deep dive into the depths of self-leadership with Shana Francesca.  Imagine the audacity required to leave the life you've known within the cult so you can live the life of your dreams. Shana Francesca is a speaker, writer, and entrepreneur. She has been interviewed on more than 60 podcasts worldwide and has been published in Medium, Authority Magazine & Shoutout LA emotional intelligence magazine, and Emerge Magazine.

When Shana Francesca, our guest today, was just three years old, she was raped by her babysitter's boyfriend. When she was older, she was the victim of attempted sex abuse by her father, an evangelical minister. Today, Shana has turned those experiences into a mission of helping others cope with life's challenges and achieve joy in their lives.You're rolling along with your life, busy with work, the family, your special interests, but before you know it, you're reaching your “golden years,” so you begin to reflect. What has my life meant? But before you reach that stage, what can you do to make sure you are happy with the answer?That's where Shana Francesca comes in. She is a much-in-demand speaker, writer, and entrepreneur whose goal is to help people live more joyful and connected lives through the principles of life design.Shana says our present and future are transformed when we “infuse our lives with intention and accept ourselves as the author of our own story.” She's the founder and lead designer at Concinnate, a multi-discipline interior design and life design firm that helps people achieve what is possible in their own lives so when they approach those golden years that I mentioned they can be satisfied with what they've accomplished.Shana does this through speaking engagements, podcast appearances, and workshops, and we're happy to have her with us today.Here are some questions we discussed with Shana:Your story is a powerful one of healing from abuse, trauma and PTSD. Tell us about that.You grew up in and around the performing arts, tell us what you did and how it prepared you for the work you do today.What did you do professionally before launching Concinnate?Tell us about Life Design. What is that?You talk about the power of “intention.” What is that? Why is that so powerful?On your website, you talk about the importance of curiosity. How has that led you to where you are today?Our world seems so divided today, with people on the right and the left at each other's throats, it seems, especially on social media. Tolerance and empathy seem to have been lost. What's needed to overcome this? What can we as individuals do to make it better?Is your message meant for young people who are just embarking on their life journey? Or, is your target audience adults who are struggling with work, family, the responsibilities of daily life?What about the rest of us…seniors who may not have that many years left…is it too late?How can people connect with you and learn more about your work?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

I am sure most of us would agree that when a product or service has such a high level of quality for an extended period of time, it's a manifestation of clear, well-thought-out design.  Afterall, exceptional quality rarely happens by accident, but is instead the result of carefully considered effort.  However, if we acknowledge this is case with the products and services we buy, why do we so often take the opposite approach to the lives we live; that is, why do we not apply this principle of carefully considered design to our own lives?  Well, today's guest has made it her life mission to address that question because she believes that our present and future are transformed when we take ownership for designing our lives.  She believes that each of us have the ability to write our own life story and that that story is greatly determined by the level of intention we infuse into the many small decisions we make every day.  Ms. Shana Francesca helps people live more joyful and connected lives through the principles of life design.  Shana believes our present and future are transformed when we infuse our lives with intention, we design our lives, and realize the power in accepting ourselves as the author of our story.  Shana overcame a history of family abuse when she was growing up to become a successful interior designer, speaker, writer, entrepreneur, and Life and Leadership Coach.  She has been interviewed on more than 60 podcasts worldwide and is widely published.LINKSGuest's WebsiteTikTokYouTubeLinked InTo help support our show, visit:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2017272/supportFor additional management resources and information, please visit us at:  https://managementworksmedia.com You can email us at:  managementworks@managementworksmedia.com Support the show
