The Unapologetic EDGE

If your life looks successful on paper but feels unsustainable, you're trapped in a "should" loop. 

A "should" wears the costume of an obvious fact - telling you to answer emails at midnight, want that promotion, or apologize for taking up space.

This space is for women and LGTBQ individuals - really anyone who realizes that living by hidden, default scripts costs way too much.

I’m Dr. Shannan Simms - a behavioral scientist, professor of psychology & business, and a GenXer who built 2 successful consulting practices. I'm also neurodivergent and know my executive functioning traps firsthand. I study and share why we get stuck, and how to break the loops without default-guilt.

We focus on decision clarity when trade-offs are risky, positioning and leverage that holds up, and behavioral reality you can use by Tuesday.

The committee in my head still meets. I just stopped letting them run the place. Let's take some defaults apart.
