I Had the Degree, the Job, the Salary… and Still Walked Away.

Why? Because even “success” feels empty when it’s not in alignment with who you really are.
I’m Shauna K., and I help high-performers stop performing their lives and start designing them — with goals, strategy, and wholeness that actually fit.

This is my story…

Lifestyle Design Coach | Goals Strategist | Corporate Culture Consultant

I built the life I was supposed to want — and left it.

Now I help you build the one you’re meant to live.

I did everything “right.”
I made the grades. Got the title. Secured the salary.
I followed the formula. Achieved the goals. Became the version of success I was raised to reach.

And then, 18 months into my engineering career, I walked into my manager’s office and quit.

No plan.
No backup.
No blueprint.

Just one loud, undeniable truth ringing in my chest:
✨ This is not it.

I was living the plan.

But I wasn’t living on purpose.

I had reverse engineered my way to the top:
Returned to college after crisis.
Climbed out of academic failure.
Aimed for the “impossible” and smashed it — Tau Beta Pi, research fellowships, scholarships, leadership, full-ride offers, zero debt.

I didn’t just recover.
I rewrote the blueprint and walked it out in real-time.

But even with all that success, all that strategy, something still felt… off.
The life I was building was impressive.
But it wasn’t mine.

And I was done performing fulfillment.

I don’t just help people set goals.

I help them get honest about what they actually want.

Today, I guide high-achieving professionals, corporate teams, and bold entrepreneurs through a process I call Lifestyle Design — the intersection of:

Strategic goal setting
Core values alignment
Total life wellness
Revenue that travels with you

Because hitting goals doesn’t matter if they don’t lead you to a life you love.

I know this because I lived it — and paid for it with my health.

I’ve pushed myself to the brink for goals that didn’t belong to me.
I’ve sacrificed sleep, sanity, and spirit for the appearance of success.
I ended up in a car accident from pure exhaustion — diagnosed with a stress-triggered heart condition — in my 20s.

That’s not success. That’s spiritual misalignment dressed in a blazer.

And it taught me this:
✨ Achievement without alignment is burnout with good PR.
✨ Strategy without soul will steal your life.
✨ Goals mean nothing if they don’t lead you home to yourself.

I am not just a coach.

I am living proof that you can reroute — and rise.

I didn’t just leave a job. I left a life that was out of sync with my soul.
And I built something new — from nothing but faith, clarity, and a vision that scared me.

I’ve now lived 3 to 6 months out of the year in Barbados for the past four years.
Not because I got lucky. But because I got strategic about how I wanted to feel and live.
That’s not wishful thinking. That’s design — and it’s available to anyone willing to stop settling.

The truth is:

You’re not burnt out because you’re broken.
You’re burnt out because you’re misaligned.

Most people are running a race they never chose —
Living someone else’s version of success.
Checking boxes that don’t even lead to their own fulfillment.

But if you’re feeling the whisper that says there’s more —
You’re right.
There is.

And it’s not too late to go find it.

My mission is to help you stop hiding behind the job you’ve outgrown.

Whether I’m consulting with executive teams, coaching private clients, or challenging outdated corporate norms on my podcast — my message is the same:

✨ You deserve to love your life.
✨ You are not “too accomplished” to pivot.
✨ You are not selfish for wanting peace.
✨ You are not here to survive your life.

You are here to live it. Fully. Freely. And on purpose.

Your goals should support your values.
Your work should support your life.
Your calling should feel like a coming home.
