Shawn Monroe

My name is Chef Shawn Monroe, I have been executive chef for 30 years in 4 star restaurants, Cornell University Statler Hotel School and my own private jet catering service in Texas. My first co authored book is Rattled Awake vol 5. Seven co authors team up to tell their stories and my story is called Cracks in the Foundation.

I am on a mission to show that the balance between our career goals, expectations we place on ourselves combined with balancing family and life needs can cause our foundational structure to start cracking. Our mental health and relationships can suffer while trying to keep all these plates in the air. The foundation is our personal wellbeing and hopefully sharing my personal experience of being a professional, father, husband and human, while having it all requires recognizing when little cracks can become a much more foundational issue. Sometimes, we don’t recognize the need to take a step back to breathe until the foundation shakes but small cracks are much easier to repair. Please read, review and rate my book. I appreciate.

I started writing songs, poetry when I was 14 and at some point would like to do a book on my poetry and writings. As well as cookbooks.
