Why this exists, and
who's behind it.
Everything I couldn't finish taught me what to build.
Everything I couldn't finish taught me what to build.
I have ADHD. I'm queer. I'm a certified personal trainer who has spent years studying health, psychology, nutrition, and whole-person wellness. And I know what it's like to start a wellness program with every intention of finishing it and still not get there.
That experience is not a contradiction. It's the reason this business exists.
My whole career has been built around helping people navigate systems that weren't designed to be easy. I've always been drawn to the work of figuring out what someone needs and connecting them to the right support. And somewhere along the way I realized the people I most wanted to help were the ones the wellness industry wasn't reaching at all.
I wanted to be an herbalist. Then a massage therapist. I started with computers, and then found myself studying psychology, education, and religious studies all at the same time. I got certified as a personal trainer. My brain wouldn't let me pick a lane and stay in it.
For a long time, I thought that was a problem. Every career advisor, every personality test, every "find your niche" article told me to specialize. I tried. My brain said no.
Then I realized something. The wellness industry is completely compartmentalized. Your trainer handles your body. Your therapist handles your mind. Your spiritual practice handles meaning. And nobody talks to each other. Nobody looks at the whole picture. But I'd been looking at the whole picture for years, because my brain wouldn't let me look at just one piece of it.
My inability to stay in one lane is exactly why I can see the whole person. The thing I thought was a deficit turned out to be the qualification nobody else has.
I know the excitement of starting a new program. The first few days where everything feels possible. And then the quiet guilt of falling off, the way you start avoiding the app because opening it means facing how long it's been.
Every time, I thought the problem was me. Not disciplined enough. Not motivated enough. Not consistent enough. I carried that story for years.
But when I looked at the research, I started seeing a different pattern. The programs I kept failing at were designed for brains that work in straight lines, brains that can sustain motivation without external structure, brains that don't lose two weeks to an executive function shutdown. That's not my brain. And it's probably not yours either.
I didn't fail the programs. The programs weren't designed for how my brain actually works. And that's a design problem, not a character problem.
Shanetnick Solutions is built around one idea: wellness programs should be designed for people whose energy, motivation, and capacity change from week to week.
The coaching adjusts when you go quiet instead of shaming you for it. The check-ins don't assume you had a good week. The whole framework, body, mind, and spirit, exists because no single piece of wellness works without the others, and nobody else is connecting them for people like us.
I built this as a queer person, for LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults who are exhausted from wellness spaces that weren't designed for them. Spaces that assume your body feels safe. Spaces that assume your brain responds to motivation the way the books say it should. Spaces that assume showing up is the easy part.
For most of us, showing up is the hardest part. And this was built to start there.
I want to be direct about something. I am currently navigating the same patterns as the people I serve. I think about taking care of myself every day and still can't always bridge the gap between knowing what to do and doing it.
I'm telling you this because I think you deserve to know who you're working with. Every other coach will show you the polished version. I'd rather you know the real one.
But here's what I want you to understand about why that makes me better at this, not worse. I built an entire coaching system around the problem I live with. Every feature, every check-in, every piece of the framework exists because I know exactly where traditional programs break down for brains like ours. I didn't design this from theory. I designed it from the inside.
My value isn't that I've mastered wellness. It's that I understand the pattern deeply enough to build a system that actually works with it instead of against it.
