ABOUT

Holaaaa! I’m Shan! This is where I’m supposed to offer a brief introduction about who I am—but let’s be real, I’m still figuring it out myself. Often, we default to defining ourselves by our jobs or our relationships, but I believe it goes much deeper. While I am still discovering the nuances of “becoming,” one thing I’m certain of, is that my identity is rooted in Christ—hence the “Soul” part of this blog. In 2019, I made a life-changing decision to fully commit my life to God and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Now, I walk confidently knowing that my soul—my mind, will, and emotions—belongs to Him.

As I enter the latter years of my 20s, I’ve found a sense of renewal and confidence to explore the things that truly fuel me. While Christ is my sustainer and source of ultimate satisfaction, seeking Him has ignited an urge to lean into the passions and desires He’s placed on my heart. This journey is about embracing the fullness of life—from my hobbies and relationships to my career, fitness journey, and beyond—which brings us to the “Society” part of this blog.

Soul & Society was born from an idea God placed on my heart years ago. Cultivating a space where I could authentically document my journey without the pressure to fit into a particular “aesthetic.” It’s a space for those who don’t necessarily have one ‘thing’ but instead enjoy and embrace it all. Think of it as a mosaic of experiences, lessons, and passions—all rooted in Christ.

This blog is an invitation. It’s an opportunity to journey together as I dive deeper into spiritual revelations, share book recommendations, explore travel tips, navigate health and fitness crazes, discuss relationship highs and lows, sip on my favorite wines, and so much more. It’s a reflection of all the facets that make up who I am and who I am becoming—imperfect but grounded in the love of God.

As I explore, learn, and grow, I hope to provide you with practical insights and inspirations that can support you on your own journey. Whether it’s a book that transforms your perspective, a recipe that feeds your body and soul, or a life tip that lightens your load, my goal is to share the treasures I find along the way.

So, come along for the ride! Together, we’ll uncover the beauty of a life deeply rooted in faith and fully engaged with the world around us. Let’s explore, learn, and grow—and along the way, I promise to sprinkle in the book picks, wine sips, and life tips that make the journey even sweeter.
