Second Act Success Coaching with Shannon Russell

My book turns one today! What a year it has been. 🎉

I continue to be incredibly proud of this work and the message it spreads in helping readers get inspiration to start over in life by starting a second act.

From launch parties to book signings, book clubs, readings, press, and speaking events, and most importantly reviews, I am so grateful.

Thank you to every single reader.

What I’m working on now is different, but I cannot wait to share it with you soon! 👩‍💻

I shared the stage with some incredible women at the She’s Got the Mic: Hot Mic Hoboken this past weekend.

Thanks to Lauren Chapnick for creating a wonderful event in a gorgeous art gallery.

Always inspired being in rooms with women who want to learn, share, and collaborate.

❤️

Four years.

Four years of honest conversations, bold career pivots, and women choosing to start their second act.

When I launched the Second Act Success Podcast, I had one goal. To share real stories that remind you it’s never too late to change careers, start a business, and build a life that actually fits you.

To every single listener. Thank you for being here, for tuning in on your walks, in the car, during those “what am I doing with my life?” moments. You’re the reason this show continues to grow and reach more women ready for their next chapter.

And to every incredible guest who has shared their journey from employee to entrepreneur. Your stories inspire more than you know. 💛

If you’ve been listening quietly in the background, consider this your sign. Your second act is waiting.

Cheers to 4 years… and so much more ahead.

New podcast episode! Shannon Russell is a Business Coach, speaker and author of Start Your Second Act: How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, and Create Your Best Life. She is also the host of the Second Act Success Career Podcast, where she shares inspiring stories and actionable strategies to help professionals navigate career changes and start businesses with confidence.

After spending more than 16 years as a television producer in New York City and Los Angeles, Shannon took her experience in the entertainment industry to “produce” her own life through opening her first business teaching children STEM education through LEGO® building. After scaling and selling that business, Shannon launched her second venture with Second Act Success,® where she helps women build businesses that create a future true to their vision.

Her motto is "Produce your best life," and her mission is to empower more people to embrace change, discover new opportunities and design careers that bring them joy and purpose.

Worried about what other people will think if you start that business, pivot your career, or try something new?
You’re not alone. But remember this...
Most people aren’t thinking about you as much as you think they are.

And the ones who do have opinions? They’re usually not the ones building something bold in their own lives.

On this week’s Second Act Success Podcast, I’m talking about how to let go of that fear and finally take action on the ideas you can’t stop thinking about.

Your dream life isn’t on the other side of everyone else’s approval, it’s on the other side of you deciding to go for it anyway.

Thanks to Maria Olsen for having me on the Becoming Your Best Version podcast to talk about my book Start Your Second Act and reinventing yourself in midlife.
