ABOUT SHANNON PRESSON

Shannon Presson is the author of “The Unexpected Story,” a mythic fable and transformational guide told in two parts: “Lumina’s Journey” (a story of awakening and self-discovery) and “The Dragonfly Path” (a field guide for recognizing and reshaping the narratives that shape our lives). Through story and insight, she explores what happens when the life we’ve been living no longer fits — and what becomes possible when we step beyond it. A longtime coach, writer, and speaker, Shannon is known for her ability to see the story beneath the story and name it in a way that allows people to recognize themselves and choose differently.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

  • What is The Unexpected Story — and what does the mythic lens allow people to see that they might otherwise miss?

  • You say we all live inside stories we didn’t consciously choose. How can someone begin to recognize the story they’re currently living inside?

  • What are the core stories you see shaping people’s lives — and how do they tend to show up in ways we don’t immediately recognize?

  • What keeps people loyal to patterns or identities that no longer fit — even when part of them knows something needs to change?

  • How can someone tell the difference between a life they’ve been following… and one that’s actually their own?

  • You describe “Big You” and “Little You.” How do those two voices tend to show up — and how can someone begin to tell which one is speaking?

  • What’s really happening beneath the surface when life starts to feel uncertain, messy, or disorienting?

  • When someone is in a major life transition, how does intuition actually show up — and why is it so easy to dismiss?

  • What does it really look like to trust what’s unfolding — especially when it doesn’t match the plan you thought you had?

  • You challenge the idea that people need to be fixed. What do you see instead when someone begins to look at their life through a different lens?

  • If someone senses their life no longer fits, but doesn’t know what comes next, where do they begin?

  • What’s the cost of staying inside a story that no longer fits?

  • How do you know the difference between fear and truth when you’re about to change your life?
