About Dana Shamas
For the longest time, I used to think that my intuitive gifts made me…well…a little bit of an oddball.
It seemed like anytime I met someone—even a total stranger—I’d hear the words “wow…I’ve never told anyone that before!” For a while, I even thought that guiding people back home to themselves was my superpower.
But growing up, I was told I was too sensitive, too emotional, and I was better off trying to “toughen up” so I could make it in the real world. It wasn’t safe for me to feel the feels.
Eventually, I realized that my purpose in life wasn’t to lean into what the rest of the world was doing. My purpose was to help other people tap into their highest selves, so they can create a deeper connection to their true worth and identity, as well as their dreams and goals, so they can impact the world.
I work with C-Suite executives, new people and team managers, non-profit and social impact leaders, entrepreneurs, founders, and many other working professionals.
