Sheree is a woman who believes that your greatest pain can become your greatest power. Growing up in poverty and a home filled with alcohol, domestic, and drug abuse, Sheree struggled with her self-confidence, self-esteem, intrinsic value, and worth. At 17 she was pregnant, a high school dropout and her life was in an out-of-control cycle. For three years she survived a domestic abuse relationship before having her “superpower” moment. She realized she had the power to take back her story and control her narrative. After living as a single mother for three years, she met and married her incredible husband. Sheree went back to college, obtained her nursing degree, a master's in project management and is currently in a doctoral program to help executives solve high-level problems. Sheree knows what it takes to set goals, achieve them and how to keep showing up even when it hurts. She guides women to silence the internal narrative; the imposter voice that says, "You're not good enough." She has been featured on the Tough Mom Podcast, The Meaning Project with clinical therapist Dr. Daniel Franz, and The Resilience Podcast and as a featured speaker at other events. Through her life experiences, she has learned that our mindset is the only thing stopping many of us from achieving our dreams. Sheree loves spending her time with her husband of 23 years, her children, cultivating meaningful relationships, and developing herself into the woman she was always meant to be.
