490: From "Yes Girl" to Sovereign Woman with Shannon Yonge

In this episode, I'm joined by one of our incredible Adult Chair® Master Coaches, Shannon Yonge. Shannon shares her powerful story of how she went from living life for everyone else, constantly saying yes, ignoring her needs, and feeling disconnected from herself, to reconnecting with her intuition, setting boundaries, and stepping fully into her sovereignty. This conversation is deeply personal and incredibly relatable. We talk about how tuning into the body can guide us back to our truth, how to break free from people-pleasing, and why learning to say no, without needing to explain, can be so life-changing. Shannon's journey is such a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we start living from our Adult Chair. In this episode, you'll hear: Shannon's experience leaving an emotionally abusive marriage and reclaiming her voice How listening to her body helped her reconnect with her intuition The difference between authentic connection and false connection How Shannon stopped saying yes to everything and began honoring her needs What it really means to live in sovereignty and why this matters so much, especially for women Resources from this Episode: Shannon's website: Shannon Yonge Coaching Follow Shannon on Instagram , Facebook , and TikTok Grab her free reparenting guide in the Resources section of her website Check out her beautifully designed mantra card deck here !
