About Me

My name is Shadonna Brand, founder and Executive Coach of Beyond Barriers Christian Life Coaching. My passion is helping people grow in their relationship with God and overcome the barriers that keep them from living the life He created for them.

My journey has not been without challenges. I have faced many of the same struggles that people quietly carry—setbacks, divorce, depression, fear, low self-esteem, and self-sabotage. For years I tried to live up to unrealistic expectations I placed on myself, believing I had to be perfect. When I fell short, I struggled to forgive myself and move forward. Eventually, I realized that what I truly needed was a renewed mind and a deeper relationship with God.

When I told God I was willing to be used as a vessel, He began transforming my life. Through that process, Beyond Barriers was born. What once felt like broken pieces of my story became a testimony of God’s healing, grace, and restoration.

Through Beyond Barriers, my mission is to help others break free from limitations, strengthen their faith, and discover the purpose God has placed inside of them. I partner with individuals by providing biblical guidance, practical tools, prayer, and accountability to help them overcome the obstacles that may be holding them back.

I believe many people have lost hope, but God still has a plan for every life.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope."
— Jeremiah 29:11

My prayer is that God will use Beyond Barriers to renew minds, restore hope, and help people walk confidently in the life He has called them to live.
