About Shonda

She’s honored to be a number one best-selling author who’s work has been featured on CNN, CBS, NBC, Fox News, and in the The Boston Globe, Miami Herald, and The Fort Worth Star Telegram.
Shonda struggled with debilitating fear. She was so afraid of being seen as fraud in the early days of her business that for two years she wouldn’t even try to get any clients. But, the one thing that she came to understand during that time is, when it comes to stepping up, having the right message and the right mindset is far more important than having right skill set.
If Shonda can help support you so you can move forward past the overwork and overwhelm and create a successful freelance writing business She’d love to invite you to join in one of the opportunities offered on this page.
