As if surpassing the million-copy mark in her book sales and con- ducting a successful coaching business weren’t enough, Ethridge continues to pursue new challenges. She’s launching a new weekly podcast related to unlocking confidence in relationships. For the past ten years, she has also mentored aspiring writers and speakers through her 12-lesson online B.L.A.S.T. (Building Leaders, Authors, Speakers, and Teachers) Mentorship Program.  One couple that went through coaching was able to identify four key factors hindering their intimacy. “Peeling back layer after layer over a 6-month span of time, they now act like newlyweds after 17 years together,” Ethridge said.  A woman who attended a workshop in 2017 sought to understand why she had been unfaithful in her marriage. She explained, “I thought facing my issues would be so overwhelming, but Shannon helped me realize that not facing them would be far more over- whelming -- both to me and to everyone I love. I’ve even become grateful for my journey, and that brings great peace and joy!” Ethridge is collaborating on three new books about speaking, writ- ing, and leadership, along with her coaching and workshop offerings. More information on coaching and upcoming workshops can be found at shannonethridge.com.  She notes, “God can use ANYONE’s life story, if they’re willing to be vulnerable and follow His leading. I’m blown away at what God has done over the past 25+ years of my life/ministry, and I want to encourage others to pursue their people-helping dreams as well!” Shannon Ethridge and husband Dr. Charlie Myers, with their two therapy dogs, Gracie and Polly.  At Arcadian Cove, we provide the care you need, in a place you can call home.
