Work with Shannon
Meet Your Guide
I know what it costs to keep finishing in private.
I know what it feels like to have the work done and the cursor blinking and your whole body saying not yet—even though the work was ready last Tuesday.
I built Get Untrapped Media because I got tired of watching brilliant women shrink themselves at the threshold.
And I got tired of the industry telling them to “just be confident” as if confidence were the missing ingredient.
About Me
I am Shannon D. Smith—Certified Professional in Talent Development, with dual Master’s degrees in Instructional Design & Technology and Industrial-Organizational Psychology.
I do not teach motivation.
I build behavioral systems grounded in decision science, adult learning theory, and nervous system research. Systems that make follow-through easier to sustain—even when your feelings are loud.
What I Do
I name the system.
I name the wound.
Then I co-create a system with you that protects your dignity and restores your agency.
You’ll see:
Straight language for the patterns you keep calling “personality”
Mechanism-aware teaching that makes the “stuck” feeling make sense
Practical moves you can use the same day...especially at the finish line
The Plan
Step 1: Subscribe to Get Untrapped
A free weekly publication for women who write, teach, and speak.
Each post names one pattern, explains why it happens, and gives you one usable move.
No fluff. No hustle advice. Just one clear thing per week.
Step 2: Practice with Paid Tools
Free posts name the pattern.
Paid posts give you the practice.
Step-by-step protocols, scripted resets, templates, and repeatable workflows you can use the same day.
This is where insight becomes interruption.
Step 3: Go Deeper in the Self-Trust Intensive™
A 6-module coached experience where we name the pattern, understand the mechanism, and build a release system you can sustain.
For women who want the structure held for them while they practice under real pressure.
Choose What Fits Your Season
I know people need different entry points.
Some want a tool they can use the moment pressure hits.
Some want something steady and private they can return to when the negotiation starts.
Others are ready for relational work inside a guided container.
