Shannon Leach

Shannon Leach is a creativity coach and freelance author who chases words and light across the pages of multiple genres, pursuing encouragement and hope within the most vulnerable of stories. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work and a life degree in being a messy human. Her transformational stories have been frequently featured in both Guideposts and Chicken Soup for the Soul. Shannon also is the owner of ARH Inspirations and cofounder of the nonprofit The Fostered Gift.

Whether she is coaching creatives, encouraging the encouragers, or helping a foster child in crisis, her mission is to use her gifts to reach the hearts living in lonely roles so they may know they are not alone. She loves historical fiction, poetry, musicals, documentaries, spy movies, and is in a committed forever relationship with Jesus, her family, and words.
