Shelly is an avid writer, storyteller, speaker, and humanist.

Her journey has brought her the experience of all that makes us human: loss, rejection, regret, healing, and deep love. Through these experiences, she intuits and names the kernels of truth that must be amplified for the greater wisdom and good to emerge. Her words speak to anyone who has been hurt, wounded, or made to feel “less than.” Shelly is passionate about building bridges and connections that enable individual growth and the growth of communities and organizations. She reminds us of the universal truth that we are all connected by love.
