Who we are
Midlife can feel isolating, overwhelming, and confusing. For too many women, the career and personal growth years are shadowed by anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to keep everything “together.” At Cairos, we believe women deserve a space to pause, reflect, and take intentional steps forward.
Founded from personal experience and professional insight, Cairos blends coaching, community, and consulting to provide clarity, strategy, and actionable guidance. Whether navigating menopause, building new habits, or leading through change, our mission is to help women recognize their strength, gain clarity, and drive meaningful results in life and work.
We also focus on working with women-led startups: defining early success, building intentional systems, and creating structures that drive lasting results. At Cairos, clarity meets action, and insight becomes impact.
About Shannan Hanson
After 20+ years building and leading teams in tech startups, I found myself at a crossroads, burned out and craving work that aligned with my passions and purpose. That’s when Cairos was born: a space for women to navigate midlife transitions and for women-led businesses to define success early.
Menopause caught me by surprise. Even as an athlete, my body, mind, and confidence shifted. I know what it feels like to be alone, unsure, and unheard. That experience drives my work: helping women find clarity, strategy, and impact personally and professionally.
Through Cairos Coaching, Community, and Consulting, I guide women to:
Understand and embrace life’s changes
Build actionable strategies for growth
Connect with supportive communities and resources
Midlife is not a pause—it’s an opportunity for reflection, growth, and transformation. Cairos is here to help women navigate it with honesty, humor, and heart.
