Start Getting Untrapped
Let Me Reintroduce Myself
I’m Shannon D. Smith — Certified Professional in Talent Development, Self-Trust Strategist, and creator of Get Untrapped™.
I teach the deeper architecture of self-trust — the psychology, nervous-system patterns, and inherited survival codes that shape how you choose, how you protect yourself, and how you show up when it matters most.
My work helps you rebuild inner authority, expand your capacity for truth, and make decisions that honor who you’re becoming. If you’re done outsourcing your decisions and ready to trust yourself again, you’re in the right place.
Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
Get Untrapped™ is for people who are done outsourcing their decisions and finally ready to build self-trust.
Most people don’t arrive in spaces like this because they need more information.
They arrive because they’re tired of talking themselves out of what they already know.
If you’re here, you’re probably at a point in your life where:
you can’t ignore the misalignment anymore,
your body is signaling what your mind won’t admit,
the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming,
overthinking has become its own form of burnout,
and you’re craving decisions that actually match your values.
This space exists for that quiet turning point — the moment you stop abandoning yourself.
How This Space Works
Everything here follows a simple arc: the journey from self-doubt to self-trust.
You don’t move through these phases once.
You loop through them as you grow.
That’s not regression — that’s the work.
Just start where you are.
The Three Phases of the Get Untrapped™ Journey
1. Recognition — See the Pattern
This is where the traps are revealed.
Here, we name the habits, beliefs, and protective patterns that trained you to doubt yourself—especially the ones that led you to silence your instincts, question your clarity, or work against what you already knew.
2. Restoration — Rebuild the Calm
Once you see the pattern, you need space—not pressure.
This phase is about rebuilding inner authority so you can hear yourself clearly again.
Self-trust grows quietly here — through slowing down, creating emotional room, and learning to respond instead of react.
If you’re learning to listen to yourself; not just think about yourself —this is your phase.
3. Resonance — Choose Differently
This is where knowing becomes choosing.
Here, we explore aligned decisions, boundaries, identity shifts, and the uncomfortable — but liberating process of choosing what’s true instead of what’s familiar, expected, or convenient.
If you’re ready to make decisions you can stand behind —this is your phase.
Where to Begin
There’s no “right” starting point.
Choose the phase that feels closest to your current reality — or the one you’ve been avoiding.
You’ll move between them over and over.
That isn’t failure.
That’s integration.
