In this powerful episode, I sit down with my courageous friend Shari, a woman who has lived through unthinkable pain—and chose to rise anyway.
After surviving years of emotional and financial abuse at the hands of her husband, Shari made the brave decision to leave and start over. She moved to Colorado with nothing, only to have her children manipulated into staying behind—told by their father that they’d be homeless if they followed her.
What Shari did next is nothing short of inspiring. She built a business from the ground up, stepping into the mortgage industry with grit, grace, and deep purpose.
In this conversation, we talk about the long road of healing, the lies survivors often believe, and what it takes to reclaim your worth after being silenced for so long.
Shari’s story is raw, real, and full of hope. She is proof that even after betrayal, brokenness, and loss—you can still rebuild. You can still rise.
