In this insightful episode of "The Giant Builders," host Lois Wyant welcomes Shanelle DuBose, a former educator turned consultant, who shares her inspiring journey of transformation. Shanelle spent 17 years in the school system, dedicated to her students and her work, until she realized that the monotony and demands of her job left her unfulfilled and without time for her own children. At 42, Shanelle made the bold decision to leave her stable career and pursue a path that offered her more time, financial, and creative freedom.

Shanelle explains how she monetized her skills in leadership coaching and professional development, allowing her to work fewer days while earning significantly more. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing one's unique talents, and how many of us are already providing valuable services for free that we could be paid for. Shanelle shares practical advice on how to identify and leverage these talents to build a more fulfilling life.

In a compelling discussion, Shanelle highlights the necessity for clarity in one’s goals and values. She offers a thoughtful method for determining what you truly want by first listing what you don’t want. Chanelle’s story is a testament to the power of self-reflection, courage, and the support of a strong community. Her journey from being overworked and undervalued to living a joyful and authentic life serves as an inspiration to anyone feeling stuck in their current circumstances.
