“she looked like an angel”
I’m a 58 year old disabled adult Due to a stroke) in san diego, the last-of-my-family-line, losing a near decade legal battle with a lender after the late trustee stole all the equity from the 51 year old family home i lived in put under trust for my benefit, to get loans for herself (“self-dealing”). She died in late 2008, one day before we were to take her to court, & left nothing but debts, including the defaulted loans. Result: i am currently homeless & living out a remaining family car under the trust.
Though i fought the foreclosure tenaciously, after being locked out of home i’d known since age 5, then the trust losing the home in court, losing many corresponding lifelong family possessions in-the-process late 2016 Many of my own), i was a broken man those first few months of 2017, floundering with no self-esteem or desire to do anything, having applied to 4 san diego senior housing lists for a room with an average 2-year wait. Other losses included my nutritionist/life coach of 2 years at the worst, possible time. So there was no question i had issues when i turned to longtime facebook (“fb”) friend shannon mcdowell of west vancouver, bc, founder & ceo of slm bodybuilding-fithouse Http://www.Shannonmcdowell.Net) aka, “slimmcd”, who did mostly positive social media posts about giving, integrity, & doing the right thing. When i shared my story with her, shannon kindly offered her whc (“wellness health coaching”) life coaching services for a steep discount befitting my limited monthly disability income to help me re-ignite my doused inner-fire towards rebuilding my life, something my trust’s trustee described as a “labor-of love”. In exchange, i offered shannon online promotion, using extensive online research skills i developed while fighting the lenders to promote women’s bodybuilding/physique competitors on social media pro gratis. Blessed with an incredible beauty & compact physique developed from years of diy nutrition & coaching as a national canadian women’s bodybuilding turned women’s physique competitor Wpd), via holistic practices to combat allergies & chronic illnesses like the epstein-barr virus based mono she claims made her bedridden for nearly a decade, shannon Who once lived in hollywood, ca for 5 years ), is also a gifted intellectual Mostly self-taught), her educational background including pre-med at calgary university, & media arts at alberta college of art and design Aka acad), the latter of where she informed me she’d gotten her b.A.. With all shannon knew & was, i wondered why this caring, & fully self-employed 45 year old woman hadn’t gone on to become “dr. Shannon mcdowell” &/or married with children, some years ago (1. Shannon’s fb angel pic/offered services collage, & 2.Shannon’s competitive history & 2014 wins pics collage).
Using my online research skills contributed to the loss of my 1st coach when i accidentally learned a guarded secret about him i impulsively brought up with him, 100% contrary to the perfect “drama-free “lifestyle image he promoted online, & a subsequent fb unfriending & silent treatment towards me followed after i trusted someone online with his secret, who talked at his personal expense, the latter of which shannon explained was abuse:
Shannon 5-1-17: “d, giving the silent treatment is a form of emotional abuse and is very mean, manipulative and immature.” it turned out that assignments to research terms Like “the silent treatment” & “self-sabotage”) were to be a huge part of shannon’s coaching style, terms more familiar to her than i was aware of at the time.
So to avoid rocking the boat, based on my 1st impression of shannon, & going by what she told to me via messenger & bio info on her 2 fb profiles & website, i chose not to do my usual online background research on shannon, nor do any informative research on life-coaching’s generally established “do’s & don’ts” in a still, largely un-regulated profession, signing a 12-month contract with shannon on good faith may 3rd, 2017, three, key decisions i would soon come to regret.
Though initially apprehensive, the first 2 & a half of months under shannon’s outside-the-box, tough-love life coaching seemed heaven-sent, with shannon’s uncanny ability to tap into parts of me only my late mother knew of towards guiding me to take care of myself, with her strong emphasis on integrity, accountability, & philanthropy, of which the last line in the “bio” section of her 2 fb profiles & her fb page reads, “consider my word gold”.I couldn’t help but become school-boy bitten hard by this woman with her combination of looks, husky, authoritative lauren bacall-like voice, intellect, mantra (“trust your purpose”) & instinctive gifts, that seemed like a timely angel-from-god blessing to a man living out a car at rock-bottom, when needed most.
Minor red-flags make their debut
It was during july that minor red-flags began to appear, when shannon started postponing our bi-weekly phone chats as her various allergies & “ailments” Starting from what she called the “100-day flu” in late winter 2016) affected her, taking their toll. I never had a reason not to take shannon’s self-described “ailments” seriously A “pulled neck-muscle”, an“amoeba”, “candida”, “possible re-occurrence of the mono”), since she indicated having enough sense to visit a doctor when needed, particularly at one point when she ended up in the er on a morphine-drip after a bad reaction to the flagyl prescribed for a bacterial infection, & had visibly lost most of her 8 years of built muscle. But as i got to know her, shannon slowly revealed the pattern of her holistic medicinal practices of self rx-ing, waking up feeling miserable, promising to see a doctor, then changing her mind after sleeping in, saying she felt a lot better If not 100%), turning to a homeopathic remedy she felt would do. She also made it clear, that it was a bad idea to try talking to her when she was ailing:
Shannon 7-6-17: “d, i'm not going to be able to have our chat until my pain is under control at a reasonable level. Please understand that… i was on a lot of morphine and they gave me nothing afterwards for it… it wasn't a nosebleed. I'll talk to you when i can… i don’t want want to talk until pain dies down...I’m very agitated from it it’s too much”.
She revealed even more when missing a key pr moment by not attending the 2017 vancouver pro/am, something i’d arranged via a free pass from an ifbb pro competitor friend:
Shannon 7 -8-17: “d, i've had a bad infection since april, right after a bad flu since december combined with the worst yearlong dating relationship of my life, immediately after an 8 year similar one Both chronic emotional toll examples on health) right after the next, right after the next, right after the next...Plus a recent extreme drug reaction. You don’t just get over all that in a day or two...”
Shannon 7 24-17: “d, i had some kind of breakdown yesterday and i'm trying recover from it. I understand your frustration and i'm doing the best i can to be here for you...”
Shannon 7-25-17:“i've been working and connecting with my coach right now too-i'm here, d.”
D 7-26-17: “i thought you coached yourself...”
Shannon 7-26-17: “not for my head i don’t.”
Ignoring the red-flag “breakdown” and “coach” comments, not only was i sympathetic, my admiration for coach shannon grew, for what i felt was her best quality, “being real”, unlike the usual “life can be a day at the beach” life coach rhetoric, & since her methods were working for me, i tried to be as flexible as shannon was with me. However, being homeless for the very first time had likely created some latent emotional issues of resentment in me, & since i didn’t want to create any conflict, my buried frustrations due to her increasing absences may have seeped-out in the form of some “passive-aggressive” (“p/a”) jabs in my texts to her, a term i’d never even heard of before she’d explained it to me, but something that with her strong, perceptive-reading skills She claims to have tested in the top 10 %) shannon felt she spotted immediately, when i asked if she’d read something i sent her:
