We were lucky to catch up with Shavannah Moore recently and have shared our conversation below.

Shavannah, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?

It all started for me when I was laid off from my corporate job a few years ago. I had no money saved up, my husband and I were separated, I was facing severe depression & suicidal thoughts were racing through my mind. I remember sitting downstairs on my living room floor ready for it all to end. Then I heard a quiet still voice say, “Your Gift Will Make Room For You”. I had no idea what this meant, what it would look like, or where to even begin; It was at this moment that I had reached rock bottom. This is where my Entrepreneurial journey began. I came into the World of Entrepreneurship as an undereducated black Woman with NO experience as a self-guided Leader. Somehow (through prayer, mediation & gratitude) I was able to find the strength to dream again. I started following my passion and what I loved to do and within 12 months I had built a Global brand, Divas in the kitchen, LLC a live cooking show that traveled around the World and was delegated for Women all over the Globe to wine, dine & relax while learning to cook with style!

I noticed at these events that the conversations got a lot deeper than I expected. A lot of Women were suffering in silence, suffering with intimacy in their relationships and would always ask me about my Story was; How was I able to go from being a young single mother on welfare to creating this Global Movement that’s impacting the lives of Women all over the World! This is when it dawned on me that the calling on my life was much bigger than me. THIS is what that quiet still voice meant, now it all began to make sense to me. As a young girl I would envision myself speaking to a crowd of people (just playing around) and acting like I was a teacher or speaker not even realizing that this is how my life was unfolding, and I am now manifesting the very seed that had planted as a child. It’s funny how life comes full circle.

So, I started sharing my Story and I set out on a quest to Empower, Inspire, Impact the lives of Women and Leaders around the World by helping them find their voice and become the elevated version of themselves in their life, career/business.

Rock bottom became the foundation on which I built my Empire. I have transformed my own personal and professional life by embracing my calling to teach, coach, heal and lead on purpose! I will say that, it was no cake walk. But there are a few things I had to do in order to go from the idea (vision) to execution.
1) I had to surrender to the calling. I lost my job because my Purpose was bigger than I could have ever imagined.
2) I had to become crystal clear on exactly what I wanted & what the end goal was.
3) I had to get a mentor, hire a Coach and make sure I had support every step of the way because I knew that I couldn’t fulfil this BIG assignment alone.
4) I had to set boundaries, create habits that were aligned with my mission & not be afraid to trust myself and step in to the unknown.
5) And lastly I had to indulge in Personal Development DAILY, integrate the things that I was learning, Become the version of myself that I came to this human experience to BE, and celebrate every step of the way!
