About Us
Hi, I'm Shonda and I’m the author of Unfocused and Untamed. My life is about as opposite as you can get from Martha Stewart. Aside from blogging and working full time, I’m learning how to be a stepmom to two volleyball loving teenage daughters, a member of a constantly on the go, last minute family of four, a co-parenting champ, and daughter of parents with dementia.
As a wife, step-mom, and co-parent to a couple of amazing teenage daughters in travel sports, we are constantly on the move and finding ways
Living with unmedicated Adult ADHD, I am constantly trying new hobbies (like blogging!) and driving my family crazy. If nothing else, it keeps life interesting!
I also like to use my creative talents to donate time and space for my favorite non-profit, Neighbors United. Specifically, I volunteer for their main focus event, Walk for the Red 140. While men and women walk 140 miles across my home state of Michigan to raise money for the families of firefighters battling cancer, you can often find me side by side with my husband, interviewing participants and creating social media content for exposure.
As you can see, my life doesn’t fit into one niche, but if you’re a fellow human trying to navigate through a messy, creative, and fulfilling life, I’d like to think you’ll feel right at home here. We’d love to have you follow along on our journey.
