We had the good fortune of connecting with Shawngela Pierce and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shawngela, what are you inspired by?
A deepened connection to the Divine inspires me. As I deepen my connection, I steadily become freed from the chaos of the ego. Which brings me more peace, strength, health, compassion, self-love, inspiration, and so much more. You see the ego has a way of telling us things that are not true about ourselves. The ego causes us to live in fear. The ego causes us to be too afraid to follow our heart’s desire. The ego will disillusion you into thinking you know it all, when in fact there is so much more to remember when you learn to surrender to the Divine.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Doing spiritual retreats in Sedona keeps me busy. I love working out in nature and helping my clients grow spiritually. It is always phenomenal to see how they grow more confident in their ability to directly communicate with the Divine and get the answers and healing they need.

It doesn’t matter if my client is a beginner on their spiritual journey or someone who has been doing it for years, they always receive some type of profound healing. It’s both humbling and rewarding to be of service in this way.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Sedona is a very exciting and spiritual place to visit. You should definitely check out all of the famous vortexes – Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Boynton Canyon, Airport Mesa, & the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Make a point to set an intention to not just go there to check it off your list but take some time, meditate, journal, and just be in nature. Visiting each vortex with the intention of getting Divine messages, is at least a 5-day journey. During that time, also visit some other hiking trails to experience other vortexes. The scenery with all the red rocks is magical. You will also receive messages there if you are keen to listen.

I eat vegan so only tend to recommend restaurants that cater to that. The top places that I recommend are ChocolaTree, the Local Juicery, Conscious Meals, and the Rose Vortex.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Conversations with God, Book 1 literally reminded me of everything I felt as a child but couldn’t express in words. It reminded me of the power I have in creating my life. It reminded me of my connection to the Divine. It also reminded me that I was powerful and capable of so much more than the ego would ever let me believe.
