Transforming Positivity Into Power
SHAWNTAN HOWELL
Empowerment Strategist
You have a power that’s all your own.
It stems from your own uniqueness – the parts of you that are authentically yours. Who you are shouldn’t be dimmed and can’t be duplicated. We all have moments – sometimes years – when we feel disconnected from our power. But here’s a secret: You have everything within you to succeed, to be loved, to be enough. Recognizing it, owning it.
– That’s empowerment.
Hi, I am Shawntan!
Your empowerment is my life’s work.
Think of a crosswalk. It has lines that are meant to keep you safe. But sometimes there’s someone on the other side you need to meet. Sometimes crossing where you are is what gets you to safety. In my life, I’ve had to walk outside the lines a few times. We need to have crosswalks, and watch for cars, but walking within the lines isn’t our only option.
I see you outside of the lines that have been drawn for you – that you’ve drawn for yourself. I believe in your right and ability to transform. If you are open to that transformation, then let’s get started.

Change Your Mindset
Let’s be real. Life delivers plenty of “What The F?!” moments. Negativity, bias, and chaos will be thrown into your path, making you want to yell What the…?
Your power is constant and can’t be diminished. I’ve developed external reminders I call motivations that represent the power I carry within. They help me change my mindset.
The following 10 motivations help me turn “WTF?!” moments into Wisdom • Truth • Fortitude:
Be a Good Human
Breathe
Give Grace
I’m Possible
Love Yourself
Take Up Space
You Got This
Do The Work
Be of Service
You Matter
