About Me

Photo of website author, Shawn Rivera

My name is Shawn and I am a lifelong Alaskan, currently living in Portland, OR and exploring the world as often as possible. My life has been built around learning, loving, and leading, and I continuously strive to do that while sharing my passion to connect, inspire, and support.

As someone who has been on an intentional personal growth journey over the past 15+ years, I have learned it's a process that never stops and is more impactful when done in community. I also believe in the importance of paying it forward and aim to do just that through my writing, coaching, consulting, retreat and workshop facilitation, and other work in the world.

You can connect with or explore ways to work with me by subscribing or sending an email. Thank you for being here and I hope you find something that makes you feel more connected, inspired, and supported!
