Work with shanelle
The Book Was Just the Beginning
Bring Shanelle's story, and her framework, into your world.
I’m Shanelle, a former elite athlete, Marine officer, and woman who knows what it means to leave a life that still worked and choose the unknown anyway. Try a New Path is more than a book. It is the message, framework, and conversation I bring into every room I’m invited into.
Try A New Path:
Breaking Free, Growing Beyond Comfort
Try a New Path blends personal story, research, and practical reflection to help readers understand what happens when a successful life no longer feels fully aligned. Moving from conformity to uncertainty, doubt, fear, and comfort, Shanelle Simmons shows how people are shaped by what the world teaches them to value, then slowly pulled away from themselves as they face the unknown. The book reveals how those forces influence our choices and invites readers to wake up to the truth that there is still more for them to do, become, and claim.
Part memoir and part roadmap, this book is written for readers who are not starting over from nothing. They are building from experience, reexamining old definitions of success, and learning how to trust themselves in a new season. Along the way,
Try a New Path
helps readers draw on their talents, lessons, and lived experience to move forward and keep growing on a new path.
