about

SOULBBATICAL

Soulbbatical is a way of being and movement inspired by the personal journey of founder, Shelley Paxton. It’s about living and leading from a place of authenticity and courage. It’s about realizing that a fulfilling life means creating what you really want versus settling for what you think you should. It’s about leaning into your purpose in order to unleash your wildest potential and impact in the world. It’s about becoming Chief Soul Officer of your own life, taking responsibility for nurturing both yourself and your soul.

It’s about accumulating self worth not suffering for the sake of net worth, and the profound understanding that these don’t have to be mutually exclusive after all.

Imagine being part of a soul-centered movement where more of us are creating lives and businesses we love, rooted in meaning and fulfillment.

To be clear, I’m not anti-corporate. Not even remotely. My very personal journey happened to lead me from being a corporate executive to being a Soulpreneur in service of your dreams. But yours might be entirely different. You might want to unleash your impact inside an organization you believe in. What matters is that you are being true to yourself; that you are committed to living and leading authentically and courageously and on purpose. I can help you achieve that.

I’M GUESSING

we’re kindred souls

IF YOU ARE …

Successful on the outside

BUT FEELING A GAPING HOLE
ON THE INSIDE

Afraid to admit that

YOU’RE NOT BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF OR YOUR DREAMS

Feeling like you’ve lost touch

WITH YOUR SUPERPOWERS

Wondering whether you’ve been

CHASING SOMEONE ELSE’S DREAM ALL THESE YEARS

Exhausted

FROM BEING IN CONSTANT WARRIOR MODE

Waking up in the middle of the night

CONSUMED BY WHETHER THE SACRIFICE IS WORTH IT OR NOT

Realizing that your pain and suffering

MIGHT BE A RESULT OF BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT

In search of your soul (or company) purpose

THE BIGGER “WHY” THAT GUIDES EVERYTHING YOU DO (AND HOW YOU DO IT)

Ready to rebel for your authentic self

AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE – TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHILE YOU’RE AT IT

Experiencing a unique sensation of excitement and terror rise up

AS YOU READ THIS LIST. THAT’S THE SWEET SPOT OF TRANSFORMATION, MY FRIEND

THE SOULBBATICAL

By sharing just a few of the many tools in her ever expanding bag of tricks, Shelley helped me find clarity, and set a mindful path based on priorities informed by my head, and my heart. I have already lost count of the number of hours Shelley’s coaching has given me back; allowing me to focus on and excel at the things that matter most. Grateful for her help in starting, and continuing, my own Soulbbatical

The Soulbbatical experience has uncovered my purpose and helped me to find my voice – allowing me to lead from my heart. Shelley is a true human performance coach and growth catalyst.

Soulbbatical gave me the time, space, and exercises to make this leap and rediscover my true authenticity and power.

Shelley challenged and guided me to own my true authentic self, while also allowing me to see negative thought patterns that were holding me back.
