21: Shawn Phelps - Optimize Your Clarity By Understanding Your Life Story

The Life:Optimised Show

In this conversation, my new friend Shawn Phelps, long-term student of the subconscious mind and author of one my new favourite books, joins me on the show to discuss clarity, purpose and the quest for "more", on the great story of our lives. I ask some philosophical and existential questions about self-discovery and mindfulness, and why the heck does it even matter? And Shawn shares her solid framework, and a ton more, that helps apply 20+ years of wisdom to the actual act of gaining more clarity to unlock a greater wealth of inner resources. Shawn Phelps grows leaders by giving them clarity on who they are, why they’re here and how they can make a difference at their highest potential. Shawn has studied the subconscious mind for 20 years, including 13 years of intimately studying her own subconscious mind through a daily meditation practice. She’s also an expert on story structures as an author and former business journalist, international backpacker (and freelance writer), corporate workshop facilitator, executive director of a children’s education charity (which she founded) and brand storytelling consultant. She’s currently working on her second book, about a framework she created that helps people get more clarity in their lives. You can learn more about Shawn on her website as well as learn about her Life Story Framework over at: http://www.shawnphelps.com/ls-framework. Oh and by the way, since recording this episode I read Shawn's first book, "Help Me Asia" and it's easily become one of my favourite light (but nonetheless warm, touching and profound) reads.
