THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You're somewhere between what was and what's next.
You might be:
→ Wondering what comes after a major achievement or life chapter
→ Feeling like you've outgrown something that once felt right
→ Unsure what you actually want anymore
→ Craving change but not knowing where to begin
→ Comparing your journey to everyone else's
→ Feeling like you “should” have it all figured out by now
If any of those sound familiar, you're in the right place.

Hi, I'm Shikye!
I've spent much of my life navigating different chapters.
From competing in pageants and becoming an international titleholder, to mentoring women, leading a national pageant system and building a career around empowering others, I've experienced first-hand just how unexpected the next chapter can be.
I've also experienced the uncertainty that comes with not knowing exactly what's next. And one thing I've learned?
You don't always need someone to tell you what to do.
Sometimes you need someone in your corner to help you see what's possible. That's why I created The Next Chapter. A space for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, explore what's possible and feel capable of whatever comes next.
Shikye Alyce Smith, Founder of The Next Chapter
