Personal Details

Bio

Shannon D. Smith is a speaker, trainer, and creator of Get Untrapped™and Untrapped Academy, a body of work devoted to teaching the psychology of self-trust.

She helps professionals and creators unlearn fear-based patterns so they can make clear, confident, conscious decisions in life, work, and money.

A corporate trainer turned alignment architect, Shannon draws from behavioral psychology, adult learning, and lived experience to reveal how fear quietly rewires the way we decide—and how to reclaim the clarity, courage, and confidence to choose with intention.

Her talks—The Psychology of Self-Trust, The Cost of Misalignment, Decide Without Regret, and Boundaries, Burnout, and the Brain—blend story, science, and soul to help audiences lead with calm and conviction.

Because once you stop living to survive, you start choosing to thrive—and that choice changes everything.

The Psychology of Self-Trust in Life, Work, and Money

Most people don’t have decision-making problems; they have self-trust problems. Fear, fatigue, and conditioning quietly rewrite how we choose. Shannon teaches professionals and creators how to unlearn fear-based patterns and reclaim the calm, clarity, and confidence to make conscious decisions in life, work, and money.

The Cost of Misalignment

Subtitle: Why Smart Professionals Self-Betray
How achievement culture, perfectionism, and social pressure disconnect us from our truth. Shannon reveals the four Trapped Archetypes (Pleaser, Prover, Performer, Passenger) and shows how to realign work, ambition, and self-worth.

Decide Without Regret

Subtitle: The Science and Soul of Clear Choices

The neuroscience of decision-making under pressure. How fear hijacks the nervous system and why regulation precedes clarity. Participants learn a practical framework for making choices they can trust and stand behind.
