Hey! I’m Shannon Mary. A lifelong entrepreneur turned NeuroEmotional Coach, here to help you feel deeply, think clearly and lead powerfully (in that order). Because when you get those three things right, everything shifts.
Our world needs regulated entrepreneurs, leaders, parents and educators, now more than ever.
Grounded, clear-minded humans who can lead with vision and emotional intelligence, and model the way for others to do the same. Because the more we learn to work with with our nervous systems, instead of against them, the more capable we become of building sustainable businesses, raising resilient children, and creating lasting change, from the inside out.
When I reflect back on my 20+ years as an entrepreneur, and 10+ years as a parent, one thing is crystal clear:
The missing piece, the one that would’ve helped me grow so much faster, was realising just how foundational emotional regulation is to everything: clear thinking, confident parenting, healthy boundaries, navigating conflict, consistent action, and building a sustainable business and life.
Emotional regulation affects how we show up in every part of life.
Because if our nervous systems are dysregulated, we’re not making decisions from clarity – we’re reacting from fear, anxiety, overwhelm, or outdated programming. And those reactions shape our outcomes more than we realise.
Learning to “Speak Brain” puts us back in the driver’s seat.
In business, it helps you:
- Lead in a way that inspires motivation within your team
- Experience better relationships with your clients and collaborators
- Clarify your vision so bold moves in business become possible
- Stop scattering your energy and start channelling it into what actually matters
In parenting, you’re able to:
- Recognise what’s really going on beneath the surface for your children
- Respond in a way that helps them feel seen and supported
- Model the emotional steadiness you want your child to feel in themselves
- Drop the pressure to get it perfect, and show up with presence instead
“Speaking Brain” is a term coined by The Center for Emotional Education (where I received my training). It refers to the practice of recognising which brain state is active (Survival, Emotional, or Executive) and responding accordingly. It helps people understand the language of their nervous system in real time, enabling emotional regulation, clarity, and self-awareness.
This work is about aligned performance.
The kind that doesn’t cost you your sanity or your soul.
And when you’re aligned – emotionally, mentally, and physiologically – self-doubt fades, and you build momentum that’s sustainable and in line with who you’re really meant to be.
The real ROI of emotional regulation?
- You get to access creative problem solving on demand
- You start to lead with clarity, instead of self-doubt
- You stop feeling stuck and start taking action
- You shift from knee-jerk reactions to conscious choices
- You drop resistance and start living in flow
