What if getting older meant expecting more from yourself - not less?
Changing the way women think about aging.
For more than two decades, I’ve worked with women navigating perimenopause, menopause, metabolic health and healthy aging. Along the way, I began noticing something important.
The women who remained energetic, resilient and engaged weren't simply managing symptoms - they were moving, training, challenging themselves, and they had something meaningful to work toward.
That insight changed my own life too. I qualified for and ran the Boston Marathon at 50 and then discovered competitive track in my 50s.
Today my work brings together women’s health, movement, metabolic health and meaningful goals - helping women understand the science and inspiring them to take action for their health and longevity.
Signature Speaking Topics
WHAT ARE YOU TRAINING FOR?
How meaningful goals can change the way women approach health after 40
What happens when we stop exercising to fix our bodies and start training for something that matters to us? This talk explores how movement, purpose and meaningful goals can transform motivation, confidence and our relationship with our bodies.
MENOPAUSE IS MORE THAN A HORMONAL TRANSITION
A new conversation about women’s health during perimenopause and menopause
Hormones matter, but they are only part of the story. Shawna explores the intersection of hormones, metabolic health, muscle, sleep, stress and movement — and gives women practical strategies to build stronger, healthier futures.
TRAIN FOR THE FUTURE YOU WANT
Building strength, fitness and metabolic health for the decades ahead
Muscle, cardiovascular fitness and metabolic health become increasingly important after 40. This practical, motivating talk helps women understand what to prioritize — and why strength is about far more than what happens in the gym.
REDEFINING WHAT’S POSSIBLE AFTER 40
Why it’s not too late to set an ambitious goal
At 50, Shawna ran the Boston Marathon. In her 50s, she became a competitive Master's track athlete. Through personal storytelling and the science of healthy aging, she explores what happens when women stop assuming their most ambitious years are behind them.
