Shalece Daniels is an Executive Rest Strategist and tech founder who helps high-pressure leaders build emotional safety, reduce reactivity, and return to connection with practical, repeatable tools. With a background as a 7-figure operations founder, she brings a rare blend of nervous-system intelligence and real-world relationship application, translating what’s happening in the body into simple actions couples can use in the moment.
David and Shalece created this retreat because it’s exactly what they needed early on and couldn’t find, and it took time to build the kind of ecosystem that truly supports couples under pressure. At Built On Us: The Partnership Pact, Shalece and her husband, supported by their therapist, teach couples how to fight without damage, repair quickly, and rebuild intimacy through guided relationship labs, embodied rituals, and time to connect. Couples leave with a personalized Partnership Pact: a clear set of agreements, reconnection tools, and shared rhythms designed to hold up long after the retreat ends.
