A Rochester, Michigan resident, Shannon is a dedicated mother to her two adult children, Livia, age 21 & Mikhail, age 18, and a dedicated wife to her husband, Zoran, of 23 years. A former Mrs. Metro Detroit and an Oakland County Executive’s 40 Under 40 award recipient, Shannon has proven to be a strong community supporter and is focused on child advocacy, women’s health and women’s rights. What many people don’t know is she is a child survivor of domestic violence and has years of experience as a mental health caseworker assisting the state of Michigan as a contractor supporting families with state provided Child Waivers and/or Parent Waivers. During her years of dedication, she has worked on cases with individuals and families providing advocacy, education, and solutions based on their needs and local government expectations (state provided waivers). She has experience in IEPs, occupational therapy solutions, assisting autistic children placed in regular classrooms and assisting special needs children and adults on field trips and outings. Her goals with her adult and child clients were and are always dedicated to finding solutions to issues regarding social adjustment and life skills that are difficult for individuals to navigate independently.

Shannon obtained her Psychology degree from Wayne State University and her Psychology of Leadership certification from Cornell University. She has experience working with individuals who live with Depression, Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder, Domestic Violence and Abuse, Intellectual Disorders, Behavioral Disorders, and Developmental Disorders such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Learning Disorders. Whether there is an individual or community need, Shannon always pushes the envelope and tries to encourage change and help where she can in any situation. In regards to the GMF mission, she believes the mothers of today are raising our leaders of tomorrow, therefore they should be taken care of and put first in society. “Safety & happiness in the home starts with Mom’s safety & happiness. She has the power to be the leader in love in the home and has the ability to instill self confidence and inner strength if the environment allows. Mom’s work hard and do not get enough credit,” she says.

Shannon has experience with over 29 committees and 8 boards, all supporting women and children in Michigan. When she’s not working in the community, she enjoys spending time with her family. She is an entrepreneur and also enjoys promoting small business owners and planning charitable events for Michigan communities and non-profit organizations with a mission to make a meaningful change. She has appeared on Fox 2 Detroit, CBS Detroit, Fox 2 Detroit The Nine, CBS Detroit, WDIV Channel 4, TMZ, WXYZ Channel 7 Detroit, WMYD TV20, 96.3 WDVD Radio, WJR Radio and several print & web publications.

Board Advisors

 

Lynn Eades – Board Advisor – Doula Services & Postpartum Care

Lynn Eads of Clawson is a mother of two wonderful kids who are now grown and thriving and a proud grandparent of three amazing little humans who keep her on her toes. She is passionate about volunteering, so she enjoys helping out at the local Sunday Summer Park Market and being involved with the Clawson Chamber of Commerce.

When she’s not helping new parents navigate the ups and downs of the early parenting days as a Postpartum Doula and Pediatric Sleep Coach, you’ll now also find her helping & volunteering with Glamorous Moms Foundation!

With thousands of hours spent nannying over ten years and raising her own kids, plus plenty of reading, classes, and wisdom passed down from her own mom, she’s gained a treasure trove of parenting knowledge. Now, she gets to share that with moms and dads who are ready to embrace parenthood with confidence.
