My name is Shanise! I'm a mom of three - my oldest son was born in March 2015, and my boy/girl twins were born in October 2019. I met my hubby in college, we got married in 2012, and in the years since we relocated, and had three kiddies (aka we’ve been busy). Lol. I often describe myself as an introvert with extrovert tendencies; therefore, creating this space was far outside of my comfort zone... like... very far.
Nonetheless, I have been pushed by the right people and feel I have a few things to share:) 1) lessons learned (and lessons I will continue learning!) as a mom of three, 2) my knack and expertise as a creative, and 3) - the gift of sleep! Hopefully one of these reasons brought you here, and at least one of these reasons will keep you here!
For as long as I can recall, I have been called a “creative,” and always gravitated towards opportunities that allowed me to express myself creatively. Professionally, this led to positions in journalism, marketing, design, and communications. Over the past 15 years I have developed and delivered mar-com strategies and collateral for several Fortune 500 companies, contributed content and provided editorial support for some of the largest national publications, and collaborated with a myriad of clients to implement and/or integrate their digital strategies.
Personally, and in my "spare" time, I pursued many creative outlets - poetry, baking, sewing, event design, web design, etc. I truly enjoyed many of these "hobbies,” and enjoyed event design so much that I turned it into a side gig. Once I had my first child, the event styling slowed down and I enjoyed growing into my role as a working mom. For a while anyhow…haha!
As is the case with most creatives, I wasn’t quite satisfied… I didn’t feel like I was living in my purpose… and once again I looked for ways to do work that was truly fulfilling and gratifying. I ultimately landed on two areas I am incredibly passionate about - creative consulting and infant and toddler SLEEP! :) The two may not seem related, but the truth is supporting individuals is a passion of mine - and that presents in a multitude of ways. Learn more about my sleep consulting here.
So now that you have learned a bit more about me - please don’t be a stranger! If you like what you read, and are so inclined, please drop a comment! And if you would like to learn more about working with me - contact me!
XOXO,
Shanise Morris
