Today we’d like to introduce you to Shawna Mills
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
From the rhythmic clinks of cocktail shakers to the dynamic world of digital storytelling, my journey has been anything but ordinary. I started behind the bar, perfecting the art of crafting drinks and connecting with people one conversation at a time. Those years of bartending weren’t just about mixing cocktails—they taught me the value of creativity, timing, and a dash of boldness.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve traded the bar counter for a digital platform, where I channel those same skills into content creation. What began as a passion for sharing moments and ideas online has blossomed into a full-fledged career. Now, I get to partner with amazing brands, share authentic stories, and inspire others with content that’s playful, quirky, and unapologetically me.
The journey hasn’t always been smooth, but every twist and turn has shaped who I am today—a creator who knows the grind, values the hustle, and celebrates every win, big or small.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Changing life paths is never easy. It’s a leap into the unknown, a mix of hope and fear, and a constant push to redefine yourself. For me, the shift from bartending to becoming a content creator was one of the biggest transitions of my life—but it wasn’t the only one. In the midst of building a new career, I also embraced two incredible, life-changing roles: becoming a wife and a mom.
Suddenly, my world became a balancing act. Late nights at the bar were replaced with sleepless nights caring for a baby, and the carefree days of experimenting with content now included diaper changes, family responsibilities, and figuring out how to carve out time for my dreams. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed, doubting whether I could juggle it all.
But in those struggles, I found my strength. Each challenge taught me the value of adaptability, resilience, and leaning into love—whether that’s love for my family, my work, or myself. Becoming a mom and a wife didn’t mean losing who I was; it meant evolving into someone even stronger.
Today, I embrace the chaos and the beauty of it all. My story isn’t just about changing careers—it’s about navigating the curveballs life throws, finding balance in the unbalanced, and growing into every role I’ve taken on with grace and determination. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Finding a mentor starts with clarity—know your goals and seek someone whose journey aligns with your aspirations. Engage with potential mentors by following their work, joining their communities, or attending their events. When reaching out, be specific about what you admire and how their guidance could help. Mentorship is a two-way street, so show your commitment by being proactive and prepared. Remember, mentorship doesn’t have to come from one person; learning from multiple sources can enrich your journey.
