"In 2018, I was waiting tables after burning out from a 9-to-5 that looked 'successful' on paper but left me feeling disconnected from myself.

I knew restaurant work wasn’t my long-term plan. But I also knew I couldn’t go back to work that made me feel creatively boxed in and emotionally drained.

So I started writing.

At first, it was just a way to organize my thoughts. But the more I wrote, the clearer things became.

Within months, I knew what I wanted to do next.

I enrolled at SXI in 2020.
Graduated and launched my coaching practice in 2021.
Went full-time in 2022.

And by 2024, I was making more money than I ever had before—while doing work that actually felt meaningful and fun.

Sometimes the thing that changes your life starts during the chapter where you feel the most unsure."
-Shannon Burton, Executive Director at SXI

This path isn’t for everyone.
