Hi there! I am Mrs. Shaunie Cousins, proud wife to my incredible husband, Alex, and devoted supermom/bonus mom to our 8 kids - 4 boys and 4 girls ranging in ages from 7 to 22. Our home is a joyful tapestry of unique personalities, laughter, love, and a little bit of chaos—a real life Brady Bunch that fills my heart with warmth and gratitude.

​​

My family and love are my heart’s compass. Balancing the diverse needs of our large, blended family has taught me invaluable lessons in unconditional love, patience, and the importance of unwavering support. My family inspires me daily, reminding me of the incredible power of love and unity.

​

At the core of who I am lies resilience. Having triumphed over personal struggles, I have learned that life’s obstacles only serve to strengthen our resolve. Throughout my life, I have faced challenges that sought to shatter my spirit and my family. Yet, this journey has not defined me; rather, it has empowered me to emerge stronger and more resolute. Each hurdle has propelled me forward, shaping me into a role model for my children and others, inspiring them to embrace their own strength.

​​

I believe in the strength of community and the profound impact of giving back. Whether through volunteer initiatives or participating in local events, I strive to forge strong connections and uplift those around me. My community has been my anchor during turbulent times, and I am steadfastly committed to creating a ripple effect of kindness and support.​ Serving others isn’t just what I do; it is the very essence of who I am, grounding me and connecting me to the beautiful world around me.

​

With nearly two decades of experience in human services, I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that everyone has access to the essential services they need to thrive. My work has focused on fostering family resilience through community connection, and along the way, I’ve gained invaluable lessons in compassion and collaboration. This journey has shown me firsthand the life-changing power of unity.
