Shawano "Southern Thunder"

Certified Therapeutic Art Practitioner & Emotional Regulation Guide

Shawano is a Certified Therapeutic Art Practitioner and emotional wellness speaker who helps mothers break free from guilt, overwhelm, and the belief that they are “failing” in motherhood. After navigating her own journey through dysregulation and self-judgment, she discovered the life-changing power of emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and creative expression. Now, she teaches other women the tools she wishes she had years ago.

Through her signature talk, “Are You a Bad Mom or Just Dysregulated?”, Shawano blends relatable storytelling, simple neuroscience, and creative therapeutic practices to help mothers understand what’s really happening beneath their reactions. Her work reframes mom guilt through a compassionate lens—showing women that emotional dysregulation is not a character flaw, but an invitation to reconnect with themselves and their children.

Warm, honest, and deeply human, Shawano creates spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to parent with presence rather than perfection. Her mission is to help mothers regulate with grace, repair with confidence, and build the secure, loving relationships they and their children deserve.
