Healing Your Past

After earning her Communication Arts degree from Western Michigan University, Shann Vander Leek leaped with both feet into the high-pressure television advertising business, first as an account executive, then as a sales force leader. She was responsible for millions of dollars in sales revenue, negotiating with hot-shot advertising agencies representing Toyota, Coca-Cola, State Farm, Pizza Hut, and Chevrolet, among others. Sure, the paychecks were great—but the job was killing her soul.

Today, Shann is following her true calling, mentoring women in the corporate world as they break free from their “golden handcuffs,” and guiding them to create full and balanced lives. Unconventional and delightfully curious, she is a world-renowned Transformation Goddess, yoga plays hop instructor, and popular motivational speaker who is known for supporting women as they face life-altering transition. A recovering workaholic and Type A perfectionist, she has invested many years into personal development, spiritual study, and has established herself as an expert in the field of personal transformation.

Shann Vander Leek is the founder of True Balance International, and the co-founder of Anxiety Slayer. She is the author of the Sacred Heart Teachings, Life on Your Terms, and is the best-selling co-author of A Juicy Joyful Life, Embracing Your Authentic Self, and Wake Up Women: Be Happy, Healthy, and Wealthy. She writes for Aspire Magazine and blogs at Transformation Goddess. Shann lives with her husband and young daughter in the village of Suttons Bay, Michigan, just minutes away from the sacred ground that Good Morning America viewers voted “The Most Beautiful Place in America”—The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
