Who is Shannon Crotty?

Shannon Crotty is the powerhouse behind two worldwide movements designed to change the way women connect with themselves and each other.

As the founder and CEO of Polka Dot Powerhouse, Shannon helped architect one of the most vibrant, purpose-driven women’s communities in the world; one rooted in celebration, connection, and collaboration. Now, with Sparkly Empire, she’s bringing her signature brilliance to the personal side of friendship, helping women build the kind of relationships that feel real, reciprocal, and transformational.

Shannon is also the bestselling author of No One Is Peeing in the Deep End – A Survival Guide for Launching a Dream, an international speaker, and an unapologetic believer in the power of sisterhood. She knows what it’s like to feel disconnected and unseen; and what it takes to create a life filled with depth, sparkle, and true belonging.

As an ambivert, Shannon never imagined she’d one day be at the helm of a worldwide sisterhood. But after the heartbreaking loss of her sister Tina, the person who made her feel most safe and seen, something shifted. In a quiet moment of prayer to her sister, Shannon asked for guidance… and Tina sent her the name Polka Dot Powerhouse from heaven. That whisper became the beginning of everything.

She doesn’t just talk about friendship... she architects it.

And she’s here to teach you how to do the same.
