Speaker 1: 0:06

All of us reach a point in time where we are depleted and need to somehow find a way to reignite the fire within. But how do we spark that flame? Welcome to Reignite Resilience, where we will venture into the heart of the human spirit. Resilience where we will venture into the heart of the human spirit. We'll discuss the art of reigniting our passion and strategies to stoke our enthusiasm. And now here are your hosts, natalie Davis and Pamela Cass.

Natalie Davis: 0:42

Welcome back to part two of our two-part conversation with Shannon Hawkins. We are so excited to dive right back in. We're going to hear more about Shannon and the work that she's doing in her life, the transition that she's having in her career, and a little bit of insight to her son working through some of his obstacles and how that has led to them becoming business partners.

Pamela Cass: 1:02

We hope you enjoy what a powerful thing, because there are so many times when we're coaching people and something will come up, and when you dig a little bit deeper, you do find that it was because of something that happened years and years ago and they don't even realize it because it's something that's become this belief. It's a neural pathway that's been formed over years of things happening and unless we identify it, how do we know how to change so that we don't keep in the same pattern that we were in? That's a beautiful exercise and it's a tough one.

Shannon Hawkins: 1:33

It is tough. The beautiful thing about it is growing. With your story going back a year ago where, let's say, I thought about my situation where I became a young mom and the trauma behind that, and I write it down. And I write it. I don't want to say in black because it wasn't bad. Now I don't see it as that, but I wrote it in black.

Shannon Hawkins: 2:00

Then you have an aha moment a ping and you're like no, we're changing that to blue, we're going to rewrite that story in blue, we're going to highlight the heck out of it because it's beautiful. And I think again, going back to stadium pitches and owning who you are, there's something very beautiful in writing that down and reading it and realizing that what you thought was horrible and bad and ugly and messy five years down the road was actually a beautiful thing. And so the goal is, at the end of your life, that your story's just written in blue. We're done with the black, we're done with the red. It was just all beautiful because it made me me, made my kids who they are, made my husband who he is.

Shannon Hawkins: 2:47

How's that not beautiful? So that's the hope is to do that exercise. Dig deep. You know, I like to use the analogy 12, 3, 6, and 9, right when you think happened at this 12 and am. We're going all the way around and it's just real bad and it's dark over here. And then all of a sudden you're like, no, it's just all been beautiful and that to me, I've done my job as a coach. When people can start looking at their lives differently, not focusing on the things that could make your life really bad, but focusing on the things that are meant to make your life beautiful and all the other stuff's just kind of static in the background. It's just not meant to stay with us.

Pamela Cass: 3:29

That's such a powerful thing and I think to your point the common theme that we have seen in this podcast that we've done now for a year and a half that people have gone through very traumatic events in their lives. Every single guest that we've had on has taken that experience and woven something that has become beautiful. That's helping other people. It's such a firm believer that things happen in our life because we're meant for a greater purpose and it's to help other people that have gone through similar situations or be an inspiration for somebody. So it's not in vain. Those things happen because they're supposed to happen. It creates who we are and every one of those things has prepared us for the next thing.

Shannon Hawkins: 4:10

Yes, one of my traumas was having a child at a young age. For any 16 year old that may ever listen to this podcast, I feel you, yeah, I feel you in here. I feel you, I know that. But how bad would it be if I kept saying that was a horrible thing that happened to me. How bad would that be? I would not be focusing on the fact that at the moment, it seemed like my life was over as I knew it, as a 16-year-old that had just gotten her driver's license right, that's how it feels.

Shannon Hawkins: 4:43

But man, was it beautiful? I mean, the first time I saw him, I had this picture where my doctor sat him on my chest and it is the messiest picture as moms, you get what I'm talking about and he looked up at me and he had this huge brown eyes and I just looked down at him and I was like well eyes. And I just looked down at him and I was like, well, it's just me and you, buddy. And all of the sudden it was like my entire reason for living is sitting on my chest. Everything else going out with my friends driving, all the things that I thought were my life had no meaning when I touched him for the first time and everybody has a moment like that. It may not be meeting your child for the first time, I don't know, but owning it, allowing what you thought was gonna be just a I can't even believe this has happened to me into turning into. I'm glad that happened for me.

Natalie Davis: 5:41

Absolutely, shannon. That was one part of your journey, part of that beautiful dash that you're drawing, and then you enter into the medical field and, like you, alluded to a profession that you like. So you were a nurse and you love that striving. That's great, and you decided to take this giant leap into entrepreneurship because it was fulfilling your purpose. In between there, though, you also met your fabulous husband, who has been so supportive and uplifting and now business partner, and not just by name alone, like truly business partner. Truly, kind of walk us through that, because that was a transition for you as well.

Shannon Hawkins: 6:19

It was scary to leave what was steady. I knew what my paycheck was going to be, I had insurance, living the American dream right. I had a minivan and all the things. So I went through a divorce and was a single mom of now two boys and lived right up the street from my grandparents, which was gorgeous, because if I needed a break they just ran to my grandma's and she would cook dinner for us, and it was just great. So I met my husband. I will be very honest. I really did not have a desire to get remarried. I just felt like at that point in my life, okay, I've had a baby out of wedlock, I've now have a failed marriage. I am used goods. I'm just going to raise these kids to the best of my ability, and nobody wants this. I mean that again intrusive thoughts, intrusive thoughts.

Natalie Davis: 7:13

If you are not picking up on it. That is an intrusive thought, right there.

Shannon Hawkins: 7:16

Very much an intrusive thought, but I thought that for years I didn't think there was going to be anybody that would want somebody that had been through what I went through. I didn't think somebody was going to want my kids. It was just a lot. And so I met my husband on Matchcom. We talked for a little bit before we met. I was just like I don't know, he's good looking, what I could see. I'm like he's real handsome and he's tall.

Shannon Hawkins: 7:45

And I was like okay, well, if I was going to get remarried if I was.

Natalie Davis: 7:48

I'd probably be somebody like that. I'd consider it with someone like that.

Shannon Hawkins: 7:53

If the Lord had it for me, I'd be all right with this one. And so we went out on a Friday and my husband is an introvert. If you've not picked up on it, I am an extrovert, no, very type A like things. A certain way my husband is the polar opposite. He's very systematic. My husband worked in the golf industry when we met, had always worked in the golf industry. It's what he majored in in college. That life to me was fine. He had a steady job, I had a steady job. It was just like this will work. So we went out on a Friday. We went back out again on Tuesday, which he'll tell you he does not feel like.

Shannon Hawkins: 8:37

The second date went as well as the first date. I thought it was fabulous, but his loss for thinking that. Then we went back out that weekend and he said he knew he had to start saving for a ring. He was like he had never been married before, he did not have children. He had nephews which he was crazy about, but he had never gotten to experience having his own children. And so we came in like a wrecking ball. I mean, me and my two kids are like woo, you know all the fun and boy things, and we got engaged later that year and married the next year. He needed some help with the golf course that he was running. So at that time I was doing home health and I was like, hey, I'll come help you. And so I worked with him at the golf course and we just worked really well together.

Shannon Hawkins: 9:26

He had, like I said, had been single. I had been married. He had kind of his head space like what he wanted in a partner not just a wife, but a partner and I had the same thoughts. It is not always beautiful in our house. I'm just going to be fully transparent. It is not always beautiful in our house. I'm just going to be fully transparent. Yesterday, as a matter of fact, was a rough day for us, but Chip and Joanna Gaines probably argue. So it is what it is, absolutely.

Shannon Hawkins: 9:53

Yes, it's hard. Obviously I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else. He knows how. I think he knows my expectations with our business and what the product that we want to give our clients, expectations with our business and what the product that we want to give our clients, and so he's really good at being my voice of reason, me being type A business owner.

Shannon Hawkins: 10:14

Sometimes I can not and he's like bring it down, woman you know, and so I need that. He has stepped back from the business a lot. He did a lot of the moving initially and that just is not good for anybody to do for years and years. And so now he just sort of manages the warehouse side of our business and then does some other things on the side that he enjoys. And so taking that leap of not only getting out of two steady jobs and then moving to a town where we do, one couple, which was his college roommate and his wife, which we loved, dearly loved them having a warehouse full of furniture and knowing no one to decorate for, I mean, if that doesn't say failure, I don't know what does Exactly.

Pamela Cass: 10:58

Yes, and we're like all right?

Shannon Hawkins: 10:59

well, we're going to spend our entire life savings and have to go live with my grandma in two years and so lots of intrusive thoughts during that time, lots of really having to learn to trust somebody again.

Shannon Hawkins: 11:12

I mean, we were newlyweds when we moved here living a life of my dad was murdered by two men. Being in the situation that I was put in being a young mom going through a divorce. In the situation that I was put in being a young mom going through a divorce, losing my grandfather, which was man there are not adequate words to describe what he meant to me and just not trusting men, not trusting, not wanting to be loved by one. Just stay away To leaning into what I knew God had blessed me with and gifted me with, which was my husband. I'm still learning that 10 years later, when we have a disagreement, my first thought is he's going to leave me. My first thought this isn't going to work. We've been married almost 10 years. This isn't working.

Shannon Hawkins: 12:00

That is a trauma response and I talk a lot about that when I coach people. It happens to me. I'm human. If you're a believer, I am. I talk about it a lot. I couldn't get through this life without the Lord. If you have a trauma response to a situation that you know God has for you and my husband was for me lean into the Lord more than you lean into your spouse to look for that comfort. My husband can't give me the comfort that I need sometimes, like if.

Speaker 1: 12:31

I'm mad at him.

Shannon Hawkins: 12:32

I don't want to give him a hug, the last thing I want to do is hug him. I need to hug him for 60 seconds and then say, okay, I don't even know what we're mad about.

Speaker 1: 12:39

But I don't do that, I'm not there yet.

Shannon Hawkins: 12:42

But I think if we will lean into the gifter, lean into the gifter, then you're like, okay, I'm mad at him. He's still the son of a king, so can't be mad. Well.

Natalie Davis: 12:54

I question it.

Shannon Hawkins: 12:55

Yeah, exactly. And so I find myself a lot in situations because I think it will happen my whole life where I have a trauma response initially, and then I like back up and I'm like, okay, what is realistic? Yeah, what's going on? Everybody's not out to get Shannon right. If a real estate agent's mad at me, she's not out to destroy my business. She's just got mad at me because I didn't answer my phone when she called 94 times in a row.

Pamela Cass: 13:23

And it happens y'all.

Speaker 1: 13:24

It happens.

Shannon Hawkins: 13:24

Y'all think stagers have it easy we do not. I don't think that I have no desire to say that was so funny to say that I didn't want to work for anybody, because every real estate agent I have, a house stage four, is my boss and her sellers are my bosses yeah about 60 houses staged yeah, more than one at the hospital, exactly.

Shannon Hawkins: 13:52

But I love it, I love it. I love that I was blessed with two careers that I could do and love, and one was just for one season and staging, I feel like, is for this season and the goal is to get out of the business. As far as me being so saturated in it and coaching full time that's where my heart is is just getting people to their best self.

Natalie Davis: 14:17

And y'all, if you're not following along what Shannon has created in terms of the staging company. We know that we said largest staging company in the Carolinas company. We know that we said largest staging company in the Carolinas. That's plural, just so we're very clear is a long way from you, your husband and a Honda Odyssey.

Shannon Hawkins: 14:33

I'll have to point that out.

Natalie Davis: 14:34

You now have fleets as warehouses and employees galore. But again, what's next for Shannon? I saw recently that there was a post that you and your son are now going to be business partners.

Shannon Hawkins: 15:43

Zachary and I. I met Alan at a coaching summit. I'm happy to have you guys link him. So my youngest is the salt of the earth. Listen, if you have ever heard. Well, that guy's a teddy bear. It's my kid. Oh, love him. He's always been a bigger boy. He's just always been a bigger kid. Like I said, shannon didn't always put Shannon first, and so I had weight that I wanted to lose. Let me back up and say this. So I went to my doctor two weeks ago and I said, dr Catherine, I need you to give me the fat shot, and she's like Shannon. I said, dr Catherine, I need you to give me the fat shot, and she's like Shannon. I said I need the shot. I need to try it for a month, see if I hate it or love it. But I'm not eating sugar, I don't eat bread, I don't eat anything that tastes good. It's not coming off.

Natalie Davis: 16:34

I've got to have the shot and I'm trying to paint a magical dash and is making it hard for that magical Nothing tastes good.

Shannon Hawkins: 16:47

I mean, it's like anyway. She's like okay, I'll give it to you for five weeks. So this is before Summit Natalie, I'm sure you followed along for that. So it's before Summit Summit's on Thursday and Friday. And I got home, got the shot on Monday, so I go to start the shot Friday morning and I had heard Alan speak the day before at Summit. Now Alan is a personal trainer in Canada. His story is very similar to my youngest son's. He is just a bigger kid, works out the weight's, just not going anywhere, feels bad about himself, no confidence. But he was a great guy, just like my Zachary's a great guy, but he's missing the confidence piece and once my kid gets that, he's unstoppable. Look out, yeah.

Shannon Hawkins: 17:33

But, there's only so much I can do as a mom to keep my relationship intact, like I don't need to be his coach, I don't need to be his personal trainer. That's not my role, some parents. If that's your role, that's great. Not knocking it For me and my child's relationship. That wasn't what he needed. So I met Alan, heard Alan speak on Thursday. I get up on Friday getting ready to go to Summit and I'm like, oh, I gotta give myself a shot. And I was pumped. I was like I'll be skinny by tomorrow morning. I go to get it out of the refrigerator. Laura said don't do it, don't do the shot. I paid for it. Right, I'm like no Jesus.

Speaker 1: 18:11

I paid for it. With your blessing of funds, I got myself a shot.

Shannon Hawkins: 18:15

Yes, I'm going to do it and I'm like, nope, I just had this feeling, I just couldn't do it. So I go back to Summit on Friday Summit was amazing and hear John Maxwell speak. I get up after lunch to go to the restroom and I ran into Alan in the lobby. Now, if any other coaches are listening to this podcast, you know who Dan Martell is. He is the bees knees of coaches. Everybody strives to think like Dan Martell. Alan is Dan Martell's fitness coach. Okay, I walk up to Alan and I'm like, yeah, now, I've not checked out Alan's pricing. I've only heard Alan speak, not looking at Alan's pricing. This is where all coaches strive to get.

Shannon Hawkins: 19:01

You want somebody to say I don't care what it costs, I need that. Don't care what you cost a month, I need you in my life because what is it going to cost me not to have you? That's what I. When I go through my whole deep dive with people and they're like, okay, well, how much does it cost? I'm like I'm not answering that You've unpacked your entire life in 45 minutes. I want you to write down everything it's going to cost you to not hire me and call me back tomorrow at 9am.

Pamela Cass: 19:28

They're either going to call or they're not.

Shannon Hawkins: 19:30

If they don't call, they're not my person. It's not that I was too expensive, it's that they weren't ready. So, anyway, alan is Dan Martell. So I'm like you have been with Dan Martell. Have you shook his hand?

Natalie Davis: 19:45

It's not just Dan, it's got to be Dan. Martell Got to say the whole name. You always say the first and last name, always yes.

Shannon Hawkins: 19:52

Nobody, dan Martell, everybody, everyone. I'm talking to Alan about my youngest and I'm like listen me sitting there acting like I don't have 50 pounds to lose. I'm like your story reminds me a lot of Zachary. He's like FaceTime him right now. I was like really, and just so happens Zachary was out of school that Friday, had a half day, so I FaceTimed and Alan talked to Zachary. He's like dude, tell me about yourself Like I'm sure you don't have a lot of confidence. Zachary's like no, I don't. I wake up every day feeling bad about myself. I cried on the phone with Alan. Never met this dude. So they hang up and Alan's like what are you going to do about?

Shannon Hawkins: 20:30

it. That's a coach question, if I ever heard one. What are you going to do about it? This is how your kid feels getting up in the mornings, your kid that you love with all your heart, your baby, feels like this what are you going to do about it? And I was like I'll sign him up. I'll sign him up right now, I don't care what it costs, because Zachary had texted me and he's like mom, he was ripped. I was like do you want to look like that? Do you want to feel like he feels More than looks. I want my child to feel himself in a positive way, and that comes with taking care of yourself and shedding extra weight and all that. So, anyway, releasing it, we like to say releasing it in our world.

Natalie Davis: 21:12

Yes, yes, honey, release it.

Shannon Hawkins: 21:14

Yeah. And so I was like you know, I could probably only afford Zachary. And that was fine, listen, I'll make only afford Zachary. And that was fine, listen, I'll make that sacrifice, I'll just do the shot. And he's like, nope, not doing that. He said he's 16. He's never going to do it without you, ever, and y'all have to do it together. It's not going to work. And I was like, okay, let's do it.

Shannon Hawkins: 21:38

It was like, wow, dan Martell, in my eyes, is literally what coaches strive to be. You want stadiums full of people listening to you, you want the knowledge, you want to help people. Because I truly believe he does. I truly believe, especially the younger generation. He doesn't want to see them do this all the time. He wants to see them look and change the world. And yes, and I thought that man ain't wasted money, that man's not just giving money away to a trainer. I thought, if he trusts him I've heard him speak God told me not to do the shots. God put me in front of Alan this afternoon and he FaceTimed my kid and my kid's texting me like how much is he? Because Zachary only works at Chick-fil-A.

Shannon Hawkins: 22:25

He's like I don't know if I can afford him on the.

Natalie Davis: 22:29

Chick-fil-A salary. He's like what'd you sign me up for?

Shannon Hawkins: 22:32

I'm going to have to pick up extra chef.

Shannon Hawkins: 22:35

Alan's like let's do it, start tomorrow. And so we're on day 11 of Alan Love him. We have to text him every morning and tell him our weight because we're doing a 16-day cleanse. That's how he starts. Text him our weight, how we feel, and then he texts us back or he'll call you and say you didn't have enough water yesterday. Tell me why. I mean, he's not just a fitness trainer, he is truly a coach on how to be your best self in your body. So Zachary and I have partnered yes, and it is our business, because if he doesn't finish, he has to pay me $1,500. If I don't finish, I have to pay him $1,500, right, we're business partners. We have to hold each other accountable. It's hard. I'm not going to lie. I'll probably never eat eggs after this cleanse.

Natalie Davis: 23:27

I was going to say are you sick of eggs and grapefruit? Yeah, I'm not even supposed to eat eggs.

Shannon Hawkins: 23:31

They cause a massive amount of inflammation in my body, and so I told Alan that he was like are you doing the cleanse or not? Oh, I'm doing the cleanse. Man, I'll do the cleanse. Sorry, I do like to think of this as a business partnership. We're down 34 pounds between the both of us in 11 days. That's awesome.

Shannon Hawkins: 23:52

It's hard when I'm eating. I'm like I don't even like Alan. I don't even know why I talked to Alan. I don't know if I ever want to see Alan again. I know that God told me not to do the shot because that wasn't natural. It's man-made, right.

Shannon Hawkins: 24:10

And so you don't know all the things that can happen and this I have control over what I put in my body and how much I exercise and water I drink. And again, here come the intrusive thoughts. Shannon, you were always chubby as a kid. You're probably gonna always be chubby. You know you've gotten skinny before, but you didn't stick with it. You could take this amount of money and do this with it instead.

Shannon Hawkins: 24:32

And even as strong-minded Christian women and coaches and business owners and all the things we're rocking out over here, those intrusive thoughts happen. And if there's anything on this podcast that I want people to take away from me. It's as fast as intrusive thoughts come to mind. You are able to get them out of the way, but people lean into the wrong thing. They're leaning into that Maybe I am supposed to be chubby, maybe I am supposed to be this or that, or my kids this or that, instead of leaning into the gifter. Alan did not come to that summit for no reason. I don't know how many other clients he got, but I can tell you I was leaving and I was going to be a client.

Natalie Davis: 25:22

It doesn't even matter.

Shannon Hawkins: 25:23

It doesn't matter how much, and he didn't care. I asked him just out of curiosity because I'm a business minded person how many clients did you get? And he was like I don't even know, but I'm just glad to have you and Zachary. Exactly, exactly. It would have been so easy for me to leave there and take the easy way out, which is do the shot. Just don't eat a lot, be nauseous all day, every day, until you drop 60 pounds. Hope Zachary got on board at some point with doing something.

Shannon Hawkins: 25:52

Because, at 16, you're like I'm tired of begging you to eat good, but instead I was like we got to do this together, we're going to run this business together. I think people miss opportunities a lot because of intrusive thoughts. If I thought I'm just going to be a chubby girl forever, I would have walked right past Alan, never talked to him again, instead of leaning into a gift. I don't believe in coincidences. I've been thinking about losing weight and all the things. I mean I went to the doctor for it and then met Alan. That's not a coincidence. And so I think, when the intrusive thoughts happen and it's different for everybody and how you get rid of those I say I'm going to lean into a gift. Right, I'm not meant to be the chubby girl forever. Listen, I told my husband you need to be a little scared about what's going to happen when.

Speaker 1: 26:43

I get sick.

Shannon Hawkins: 26:44

I don't know what that means, but it comes to my mind yes, something's going to happen.

Natalie Davis: 26:51

Exactly In your mind. You're already there, so he needs to be prepared for when he sees it too.

Shannon Hawkins: 26:58

Yes, drop tops yes, good Again, like they're going to happen our whole lives. I think Billy Graham had intrusive thoughts, john.

Speaker 1: 27:10

Maxwell has them.

Shannon Hawkins: 27:11

Everybody has them.

Shannon Hawkins: 27:12

It's just part of what happens, but it's how you respond to it. It's really just like I'm not meant to be the chubby girl. I want to walk in a room and not look around and go. Am I the fattest person here? I'm not kidding you. That has happened to me where I have walked in and gone. Am I the fattest person here? Or does anybody else have a double chin? I just need one more double chin person sitting next to me and then I'll feel fine. I'm serious Women, whether you want to admit it or not. I don't care how much Botox you get, lip filler, how many plastic surgeries you've had.

Shannon Hawkins: 27:46

We have intrusive thoughts 100% all the time, but very quickly they can be diminished. You just have to figure out if you're ready to live your life in the way of diminishing intrusive thoughts or leaning into them. I don't want to live my life living on intrusive thoughts and having them affect me in a negative way and control your destiny Totally, 100%. Oh my gosh, so good.

Natalie Davis: 28:13

So good, shannon Hawkins, the coach of Mastering your Dash. Oh my gosh, this has been an absolute honor, just for our listeners. Shannon and I had the chance to meet this summer at the camp that she was mentioning and I remember getting into the room and everyone just saying, oh my gosh, it's like that's Shannon, she's like the best stager on the East Coast, and I was like, oh shoot, well, I need to know more about it. I wanted to sit with you because I love your voice.

Shannon Hawkins: 28:40

Oh well, thank you, natalie has it to me and it was even brought up in the summer. You have this great authoritative voice and I remember Matt saying it. We did roundtable and I just remember sitting next to you and just thinking she's like writing notes in her little tablet. I've got my notebook paper over here and she's so cute. She's like writing notes in her little tablet.

Speaker 1: 29:04

I've got my notebook paper over here and she's so cute and she's got it together and so it doesn't matter.

Shannon Hawkins: 29:08

That's type A. Now I'm sitting next to her and she's beautiful and that's where I'm sitting.

Natalie Davis: 29:12

That's it. And it wasn't coincidence because I agree it wasn't a coincidence that we got to stick nuts to each other and Shannon, in her giving heart, gave me a ride to the airport as well, which was completely out of date, but she did it nonetheless and I'm glad that we had that time together because that's where I got to hear a little glimpse of your story. So thank you for sharing so much of your story today with us and our listeners.

Shannon Hawkins: 29:36

We are so grateful. Thank you for having me. It's been an honor to be here with y'all and I hope I get to hug your neck this summer. I hope you come back for another coaching camp.

Natalie Davis: 29:44

I'm coming back, I mean mainly because I fell in love with Charleston probably the city that I fell in love with the fastest. I get to see a lot of cities in a year and I fell in love the fastest with Charleston.

Shannon Hawkins: 29:55

Well, pam, if you come, girls weekend and we'll do all the fun things, but y'all watch out because by then I'm gonna be skinny. So it's all right. Shannon on the tail oh boy, we'll get to see that part of shannon I cannot wait to meet her.

Natalie Davis: 30:10

I cannot wait to meet her just tell her, I said hello and I will be there, honey, she's here, she's here, she's there oh my goodness.

Natalie Davis: 30:19

Well, we will make sure that we put all of Shannon's contact information, both her coaching information and her staging information, because not only does she work in the Carolinas but she will do staging consult services across the country. Virtual because of the fabulous tools that we now have and resources that we have to go virtual. So, shannon, we'll make sure that we put all of that in our show notes about you and, of course, you all.
