Hey there, and welcome back to How Itās Really Going! After a long break, Iām here to share whatās been on my mind and whatās next for this podcast. If youāve been around since the early days, youāll know this space has evolved over the yearsāfrom Girlfriendās Guide to Network Marketing to Keeping It Real with Shana Recker, and now to this version: a mix of life, business, and everything in between.
The Journey So Far I started podcasting back in 2016, aiming to share honest and vulnerable conversations about business, life, and personal growth. Itās been a rollercoaster. Over the years, Iāve shifted from network marketing to online business coaching, to doing done-for-you services in graphic design and Kajabi, which has been my primary focus for the past year and a half. Itās been refreshing to work behind the scenes, supporting amazing clients without the constant pressure of social media.
Why Iām Back Even when Iāve stepped away, I couldnāt stop thinking about this podcast. Itās like therapy for meāa way to connect, share, and help others feel less alone in their journeys. Iām feeling more stable and ready to commit, even if itās just once or twice a month. This podcast is going to be a space for real talk: about business, entrepreneurship, life as a midlife woman navigating hormones, parenting adult kids, and even the ups and downs of creativity.
Whatās Next Moving forward, you can expect a mix of:
A Special Thank You To everyone whoās stuck around, subscribed, and supported me through all the changesāthank you. Your messages and feedback remind me why I love this so much. Iām excited to dive back in and share this journey with you.

Hey everyone! Welcome back! In this episode, I get super real about the ups and downs of friendships. After listening to a Simon Sinek podcast, I felt inspired to share my own struggles with making and keeping friends, especially during perimenopause and menopause. ADHD has definitely turned up the volume on my fear of rejection too.
I talk about how important community is and how the lack of close friendships has really hit me. You'll hear about my overthinking and why I sometimes pull back from social interactions, even though I know how awesome it feels to connect. This episode is all about being aware, putting in the effort, and pushing past fears to keep those important friendships alive.
Ā Let's get real about how tricky friendships can be and figure out how to keep those connections strong.

Today I share how I'm learning (emphases on the ING) how by letting go of trying to control everything and embracing change actually makes life easier. I'd say it's one of the benefits of aging for sure. The older we get the less we care so much about shit.
In this episode I talk about ditching overthinking and trusting your instincts more, about opening up to outcomes outside of your expectations.
Join me for a real, no-bs conversation aboutĀ surrendering to life's flow.

As I get older, I can't help but think about the whole weight and body image thing.Ā I've had my share of ups and downs when it comes to my body, and I'm sure you can relate.Ā
But you know what I've come to realize? It's all about embracing and loving yourself, no matter what size you are. ā¤ļø
Let's collectively ditch the overthinking about our size and celebrate our bodies for all the amazing things they can do! š So here's to self-love, acceptance, and rocking our unique sizes with style and grace!

Talking all about perimenopause today. This has been a huge topic of conversation in my home and with friends as I am fully into my own menopause journey.Ā
I share with you what my experience has been so far as well as sharing symptoms, how it's been for my husband, to what it's been like dealing with doctors trying to find relief. I share my frustrations and more.Ā
It's my hope that this episode helps more women realize they aren't going crazy or dying of some weird disease... that it's most likely PERIMENOPAUSE.

Oh hi šš¼šš¼Ā
Long time no chat...Ā
Soooo I'm ready to re-emerge from my 2023 cocoon and get back into the groove with my love of talking and sharing on this podcast! Ā
Today I share experiences and reflections on my personal and professional life and why 2023 was the year I burned it all down and now I'm ready to start rebuilding!!
I've been feeling the nudge big time to get back to sharing on this platform and have conversations about ALL THE THINGS including, but not limited to: menopause, career changes, personal development, entrepreneurship, and whatever else happens to be on my mind at the time. šš¼āāļø
My new mission here is to create a space for open, honest and REAL conversations about all the things.
No idea where we're going... but I'm certain we'll have some fun.Ā

Welcome back to the "How it's really going" podcast! šļø
Today, I've got something a little different for you... Back in August, I had the privilege of sitting down with one of my favorite clients, Debbie Weiss! And today I'm bringing this episode to you, and there's a good reason behind the delay.
You see, Debbie launched her very first book, "On Second Thought, Maybe I Can," in August, right around the time we recorded this chat. But my podcast took a little hiatus as you know so it didn't make sense to plop this in at that time.
But I'm back, and excited to share this inspiring conversation with you.
Debbie is a remarkable individual with a story that'll give you all the feels. She's faced adversity and tough situations throughout her life, but she's the kind of person who refuses to let anything hold her back.
Her memoir, "On second thought, Maybe I Can," dives deep into her incredible journey, chronicling the challenges she's overcome. Debbie's resilience shines through. She didn't just survive; she thrived. āØ
In this episode, we delve into the nitty-gritty of her book writing process, the launch event she hosted with 60 people, and her aspirations to make a difference by sharing her story through public speaking.

Hey there, welcome baaaaaack to "How It's Really Going with Shana Recker"!Ā
In this episode, I'm excited to share some recent changes in my life and what you can expect from the podcast moving forward.
So, as you know, I've made a bit of a pivot in my career recently. I've shifted away from business coaching and started focusing more on specialized services like Kajabi work and graphic design. It's been quite a journey, and I've found immense fulfillment in this new direction. I'm all about those word-of-mouth referrals, and I've even taken on a part-time job at a salon, which has been a blast.
But it's not all about work. I've also been diving headfirst into my passion for abstract art and hosting paint nights. It's amazing how creativity can light up your life.
One of the big themes I want to talk about today is the importance of letting go of societal pressures. It's something I've been working on myself, and it's made a huge difference in reducing my stress and improving my overall well-being.
I'll also share some insights on how to effectively vet coaches based on my own experiences.
So, join me on this journey of self-discovery and growth in future episodes of "How It's Really Going with Shana Recker." Thanks for tuning in!

Ever felt like a quitter just because you changed your career path or switched your business focus? It's time we view these transformations not as acts of surrender but as brave steps towards reinventing ourselves. Just like Madonna, who is celebrated every time she reinvents her image, we need to shed the negative connotations associated with change and embrace it as a powerful push forward.
Drawing from my own personal experiences, in this episode I reflect on the liberation that comes from releasing what no longer serves you and making room for new growth. Don't miss this transformative discussion that promises to reshape your views on change and inspires you to welcome the process of reinvention.
