Women Are Amazing - But D*mn, We’re Tired
I wasn’t planning to record this episode. But it came through raw and unfiltered and I think it’s exactly what we need to talk about right now.Women are extraordinary.We create, nurture, lead, build, repair, and keep moving -even when we’re tired, uncertain, stretched thin, and running on fumes.But there comes a point when all that strength starts to cost us.When we’ve carried so much for so long that we forget what we even want.And that’s when life - lovingly, brutally - steps in to remind us to stop.In this episode, I’m sharing the truth about what happens when you push too hard for too long, and how I learned (the hard way) that slowing down isn’t weakness - it’s wisdom.You’ll hear my story of burning out, waking up, and finally finding peace by listening to the voice I’d been avoiding for years.If you’ve been feeling that pull - the whisper that something needs to change - this is your reminder:you don’t have to burn it all down.You just have to stop pretending it’s fine.Let’s talk about rest, honesty, and the sacred moment when you finally come home to yourself.Join me for The Divine Pivot, November 10–14 five days of honest reflection, voice-note mentorship, and space to remember who you really are.Sign up here - https://theshaheenplunier.com/the-divine-pivot

Why Being Messy Might Be Your Secret to Success
In this empowering episode, Shaheen shares an honest and inspiring message about embracing imperfection when starting your coaching business. She explores how perfectionism, often ingrained through cultural and corporate experiences, can hold us back and why giving yourself permission to be messy is the key to success. If you're feeling stuck waiting for the "perfect moment" to launch your business or create your first offer, this episode is for you. In this episode you’ll learn: Perfectionism is self-sabotage: Waiting for everything to be perfect slows you down and prevents progress. Start messy: Confidence and clarity come from taking action, not waiting until you're ready. Reframe fear: Worrying about what others think keeps you small. Shift your mindset to prioritize your dreams. Set time limits: Give yourself 10 minutes to create and post without overthinking. Celebrate the journey: Your imperfections are part of your growth and inspire others to take action too. Community matters: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who support your growth.
