Hey, I’m Shannon Mary. Lifelong entrepreneur, NeuroEmotional Coach, and guide for those here to live from deep inner clarity.

When I look back at my 20+ years as an entrepreneur, one thing is crystal clear:

The missing piece, the one that would’ve helped me create the life I was chasing so much quicker, was understanding the role emotional regulation plays in making aligned decisions.

Not just in life, but in business. In money. In how you lead.

Because if your nervous system is dysregulated, you’re not making decisions from clarity – you’re reacting from fear, overwhelm, or outdated programming. And you will pay for that down the line, whether you realise it or not.

I’ve been through all the coaching, all the mindset work, and they each helped in their own ways. But nothing hit the nail on the head quite like my experience with NeuroEmotional coaching.
It fundamentally changed how I move through the world.
It helped me make sense of the burnout, the decision fatigue, and why things always felt just out of reach, no matter how much I planned or pushed.

Learning to speak the language of your nervous system – what we call “Speaking Brain” – is a game changer.

Once you know how to read your brain states and shift them in real time, everything changes.
Your leadership shifts.
Your relationships deepen.
Your vision becomes actionable.
You stop spinning your wheels and start moving with clarity.

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 – you make decisions that move the needle, without burning yourself out.

86% of start-ups in South Africa fail – but not because the ideas aren’t good…

They fail because the people running them are burnt out, stuck in survival mode, or making emotionally clouded decisions.
Businesses are built by people. And people make decisions.
And if those decisions aren’t coming from a state of strategic clarity, the consequences ripple through operations, culture, and ultimately, profit.

Emotional clarity is an untapped asset in South African business.

I’m one of those people who wants to be in South Africa, do good here, and live a life of abundance and joy. I believe entrepreneurship is the lifeblood of this country – a driving force for growth, progress and community elevation.
But it’s not just about having good ideas.
It’s about the state of the people leading them.

South Africa needs regulated entrepreneurs, now more than ever.

Grounded, clear-minded humans who can lead with vision, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Because the more we learn to work with our nervous systems, instead of against them, the more capable we become of building sustainable businesses, creating real change, and shaping a better future from the inside out.

What became possible once I understood my nervous system:

I sold the business I’d spent a decade building, and walked away with 70% of my asking price. This was in a space where I’d been told time and time again, “No one’s going to buy this.” But I stayed steady. I knew the value of what I’d built.
I was clear in my numbers, calm in negotiations, and confident in my vision –
because I was making decisions from a regulated nervous system, not from fear or urgency. That’s what nervous system mastery makes possible.
