Certified Life Coach helping people navigate change, rebuild confidence, and choose peace over survival mode.
Shanice Michelle didn't come to coaching through a polished path — she came through real life. Through long nights, hard pivots, and the quiet decision to choose growth over comfort. That decision became the work.
With a background spanning social work, corrections, and lived transformation, she understands what survival mode actually looks like — and what it takes to leave it. Gurrltalk was created as the space she once needed: honest, grounded, and unafraid of the truth.
Every session is an invitation to stop performing and start moving. To pause, purge, pivot, and power up — on your own terms, in your own time.
I started Gurrl Talk because I reached a point where I could no longer recognize myself beneath all the roles I had mastered.
For years, I was the dependable one. The strong one. The woman who knew how to keep everything together even when she was quietly falling apart inside. I learned how to perform strength so well that most people never noticed how disconnected I had become from my own needs, desires, and voice.
On paper, my life looked fine. Sometimes even impressive. But internally, I was exhausted from constantly choosing who I needed to be instead of who I truly was.
I stayed in relationships that required me to shrink.
I chased careers and expectations that looked successful but felt empty.
I became skilled at keeping the peace while abandoning myself in the process.
And the hardest part was this:
I didn’t even realize how much of myself I had lost until one honest conversation changed everything.
Not a perfect moment.
Not a breakthrough from another self-help book.
Not some overnight transformation.
Just one conversation where I finally stopped pretending.
For the first time, I allowed myself to say the things I had buried for years — the resentment, the loneliness, the pressure, the grief of becoming someone everyone admired while secretly feeling unseen by myself.
That conversation cracked something open in me.
It was uncomfortable.
It was emotional.
But it was also freeing.
Because I realized healing wasn’t about becoming a brand-new woman.
It was about returning to the woman I had silenced.
That experience became the foundation of GurrlTalk.
I created this space for women who are carrying the invisible weight of being “the strong one.” Women who are high-functioning, capable, nurturing, ambitious — yet privately exhausted from constantly pouring into everyone else while running on empty themselves.
Women who are tired of pretending they’re okay.
Women who are ready to stop performing and start feeling.
Women who want deeper conversations, emotional clarity, self-trust, and a life that actually feels like theirs.
To help people stop surviving emotionally and begin living intentionally through clarity, confidence, accountability, and transformational coaching.
