I'm Shannon Muruli
The Courage Coach
I help ambitious women cultivate the courage
to leave their comfort zone.
Are you one of those women?
I've been there, too.
Here's My Story
For years, I was afraid to be myself. I chose their approval over my authenticity and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I was a sideliner. I said nothing and did nothing because I was afraid of criticism and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I felt not good enough, intimidated and afraid to speak up around people I perceived as successful and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I was afraid of saying NO. I gave from an empty cup and placed other people's needs above my own and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I was afraid to walk away from toxic people, toxic places and a few toxic habits and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I was afraid of making sales calls, doing what it took to reach my money goals and asking for what I wanted and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.


For years, I was afraid of trusting myself. So I procrastinated to avoid making some of the piss poor decisions I made in my early twenties and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I was deeply afraid of public speaking, being seen and playing bigger with my life and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I was afraid that being the first or the only black woman would create conflict in corporate spaces, so I didn't make certain moves and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I accepted mediocre opportunities and delayed starting a business because I was afraid of the responsibilities and who I needed to become and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years, I did not love my life.
I struggled with the overuse of sleeping pills, anxiety, stress, chronic inflammation and a subpar immune system which all contributed to an autoimmune diagnosis that I became insanely afraid of living with.
For years, I was afraid to simply be the best most greatest version of myself and in return I spent years living a life I didn't love.
For years I traded my authenticity for approval, which meant for years I lived a life I didn't love.
