Hello! I'm Shari,

a creative storyteller with a gift for turning messages into impact.

Making a long story short....

I'm a professional writer, published author, and Emmy-nominated producer.

I’ve spent my career crafting words that captivate, inspire, and elevate. But I don’t just write—I coach leaders to uncover their voices, share their messages, and unlock their true creative potential. When you learn to share your ideas and visions in a way that makes people not only notice but stop and truly care about what you're saying (and ultimately what you're doing) you unlock your ability to achieve your biggest goals. Clear and powerful communication is the bridge between where you are now and where you want to be—and I’m here to help you cross it. Let’s uncover your voice, amplify your message, and make your vision a reality.

I have worked with New York Times Best Selling authors, TV Show Hosts, TV Show creators, Olympic Coaches, Nationally Recognized Doctors & Scientists, NFL players, CEOs, Entrepreneurs, thought leaders and individuals ready to uncover their voice so they can uncover their potential.

My love for storytelling started at 12, filling thousands of pages of journals with plays, short stories, essays and creative ideas (yes, I was that kid). Since then, I’ve helped businesses, nonprofits, and individuals bring their brands, missions, and messages to life. My true passion lies in helping leaders find clarity, purpose, and confidence in their communication—because the real magic happens when you step into your greatness and speak with authenticity and passion.

Your story and message matters, and how you share it can change everything. Whether it’s finding the courage to speak your truth, connecting with your audience, or leading with clarity, I’m here to help you find the words—and the confidence—to make an impact. Let’s uncover your voice and create something meaningful together.

My longer story....

Selling flowers....

I started my first business at just 6 years old—selling flowers and little rocks I “borrowed” from my neighbors' yards… and then sold right back to them. Not exactly a Shark Tank-worthy business model, but hey, I was having fun, and I thought I was rich! By 14, I’d leveled up: running my own housecleaning business, juggling babysitting gigs, and working part-time at a local restaurant. Hustle has been in my DNA from day one!

Creating Stories...

Around 12 years old an inspiring teacher introduced me to the power of "free writing" for myself--instead of writing for school. I’d lose myself for hours in stacks of notebooks, pouring out short stories, plays, essays, and every creative idea my mind could conjure. Writing became my escape—a place where I could dive into new worlds, explore big ideas, and make sense of everything swirling around me. I’d sit cross-legged on the floor, pen in hand, completely lost in my imagination, while the real world melted away and fell into chaos. My parents would peek in, probably wondering what to do with this kid whose head was bursting with ideas and an unstoppable need to communicate them. For me, those notebooks weren’t just paper—they were a lifeline, a canvas for my thoughts, and the spark that lit the fire for everything I’ve created since.

Selling Health & Wellness ....

By 25, I helped an international alternative health doctor grow his practice and product line from $300k to over $1 million. Over the next 9+ years, I worked with international science-based health and wellness brands, leading efforts in sales, marketing, public relations, and health education. I coordinated national educational programs that boosted product sales by over 40% and launched best-selling brands in national health retailers and the doctor-only market. I worked with universities on clinical trials that shaped the industry and created high-converting, purpose-driven marketing campaigns that won hearts and minds. My successes led me to an executive role, but as the wellness industry shifted in 2005, I realized I didn’t align with the new culture driven by investment firms. That’s when I decided to leave corporate wellness behind and forge my own path—one still rooted in the loyalty to science and purpose.

Helping all kinds of purpose-driven dreamers...

In 2005 I started my own consulting business using everything I'd learned over the past 9 years in marketing, messaging, content creation, copywriting, sales, public relations, and branding, but I also blended the powerful insights I gained from science and behavioral psychology. My unique methods helped business's trigger customers & prospects to shift their beliefs and behaviors towards my clients' brands. Which all of this resulted in brands growing their reputations, bottom lines and their place in their industry.

When everything changed...

In 2013 I lost my healthy 66-year-old mom unexpectedly to a fatal heart attack. The next year my 11-year-old son would go in the ICU and nearly die due to a complicated onset of the rarer genetic form of diabetes, Type 1 diabetes. A few years later I lost my healthy-never been sick dad unexpectedly to an infection. And during this time my business mentor and his wife both committed suicide. My grief and overwhelming stress paralyzed me as I tried to manage this avalanche of emotional events. Under the surface of my "I'm doing just fine" fake smile, I tried to process my grief and manage my new normal. I also slowly realized that all of these events were shifting my priorities, faith, desires and goals. My whole life perspective was completely evolving.

How I overcame and embraced joy & helping others even more...

Emerging from the overwhelming stress and deep grief of my parents' sudden deaths, my mentor's suicide, and my son's diagnosis wasn’t easy. It wasn’t that the pain or sadness lessened, but I came to a realization: I had to choose happiness. I had to choose hope, even when it felt impossible. That choice didn’t erase the challenges, but it gave me the strength to climb out of the darkness and start living again.

In the process, I rediscovered who I was as a child—the curious, creative soul who filled notebooks with stories and ideas, the person who thrived in imagination and exploration. I realized we are so much more than our businesses, titles, and accomplishments. Yes, we need to make money to survive, but life is about more than just surviving—it’s about living.

So, I started making intentional choices—ones that filled my happiness, creativity, and fulfillment cups. That one decision changed everything. It led to me becoming an Emmy-nominated producer for my creative work on a PBS show. I helped non-profits grow, started an urban flower farm in honor of my parents, launched a Thanksgiving food drive that fed over 800 people in its first year, and even remodeled three houses. Those moments of curiosity, creativity, and giving back have brought me back to life and back to my true creative self—the version of me who finds joy in creating, exploring, and making an impact.

Today I live in Colorado with my husband of 22 years, my dog Remi, cat Leo, several chickens, and love being mom to my son. I love my urban flower farm, cooking and finding joy in my everyday life. My faith, family, fulfillment, creativity, and finding joy are what guides me these days.

I love helping others on their creative journey and path towards learning how to discover the power of their own creative voice. My focus isn't just on helping clients make more money, it's about empowering them to grow as leaders, helping them find deeper meaning, a healthy balance between work and life while also helping them create a life of meaning, creativity, fulfillment and finding their true voice.
