#27 Shelby Morisseau’s Story: Shifting Your Mindset To Live The Life Of Your Dreams And Redefining What It Means To Be A Social Media Influencer

Shelby Morisseau lives and grew up in the small town Cochrane, Alberta with a big family! In this conversation we start with Shelby’s childhood and she explains everything that has happened has shaped who she is today! Being the only girl out of 4 kids there were some challenges but her family means everything to her! Shelby has been a competitive dancer since she was very young. Dance became her whole life and a huge part of her identity. She used dance as a way to express herself as she struggled with talking about her mental health. We talk about the demands and lessons she learnt from her dancing career. One of those lessons was listening to your body and after 20 years of dancing she had to stop because of an injury. After this she had to face a lot of her mental health issues as they became very consuming over her everyday life. She used multiple things as an outlet but one was sharing her truth on Instagram! Since then she started creating content because she is such a CREATIVE person! Now she is living the life she always wanted and enjoys all the ups and downs!
