Have you ever felt judged or ignored because of how you look? Do you feel like you’re hiding in plain sight at work or in life, even though you have so much to offer? When you don’t believe in yourself, it shows. You might miss out on opportunities, let others speak over you, or feel stuck in your career or relationships. The worst part? You start believing that you don’t deserve more.
But here’s the truth: when you accept yourself and show up with confidence, everything changes.
Shannon understands this journey because she’s lived it. As a plus-sized woman working in the competitive world of television, she faced doubts, biases, and moments where she wanted to shrink into the background. But she didn’t. She learned to embrace who she is, speak up, and stand out.

STOP SHRINKING: Workshops for Teams, Creatives, and Women-Led Spaces
Too often, talented women shrink themselves to survive. They over-explain, under-share, and apologize before they even speak.
STOP SHRINKING is a powerful, interactive workshop designed for companies, teams, and organizations that want to support confidence, voice, and visibility in the workplace. Led by Shannon Malone-deBenedictis, a Body Image Certified Coach and seasoned media leader, this session breaks down how internalized body shame, gender bias, and imposter syndrome quietly hold high-potential professionals back.
Participants walk away with:
✔ Language to identify self-silencing habits
✔ Tools for owning space without guilt
✔ A renewed sense of worth—not performance
This is for companies who don’t just talk about inclusion—they want their people to feel it.
“Let me show you how to stop hiding and start standing tall in every room, meeting, and moment.”
