Authentic Stories Rooted in Faith, Travel, and Courage
Welcome! I’m Shauna Cassell.
A Jamaican-born, Canadian-rooted woman of faith, courage, and curiosity. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a single woman navigating life with intention, and an adventurer at heart. With an MBA, years of global travel, and a journey shaped by resilience, I’ve learned to embrace life with openness and wonder.
My path has taken me across the world—from Jamaica to Canada, the USA to South Korea, Mexico to Colombia, and through nine of Canada’s provinces. I grew up in the Greater Toronto Area, where I spent most of my life, and for the past year I’ve been planting new roots in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
This space is born from my belief in courage when the future feels uncertain, strength when life requires rebuilding, and faith that carries us forward even when the path is unclear.
I’m grateful you’re here. Walk with me through stories of faith, adventure, and transformation—and may something in this space inspire you to step boldly into your own next chapter.
Losing a job can feel like the ground has shifted beneath you. One day you’re moving forward with plans, goals, and a sense of direction — and the next, everything feels uncertain.
