Episode Highlights + Guest Insights
From Service to Self-Discovery
“When my husband handed me the American flag and said, ‘Now it’s your turn,’ I realized it was time to give myself permission to go after my own purpose.”
— Shari Biery
That moment marked a powerful shift for Shari. It became the start of her journey toward helping other women find purpose and alignment in both life and business.
The C.A.L.M. Method™
C = Clarity | A = Awareness | L = Listening to Your Body | M = Mindset
The C.A.L.M. Method™ helps women move from overwhelm to intention. By tuning into your body, cultivating awareness, and creating space for clarity, you set the foundation to lead with purpose and confidence.
Rest Is a Revenue Strategy
“Rest isn’t lazy, it’s leverage.” — Shari Biery
We often think success comes from doing more, but Shari reminds us that rest is what fuels creativity and perspective. When you make space to breathe, you also make space for alignment and new ideas.
Self-Care as Strategy
The best brands are built by leaders who know when to pause. Self-care isn’t something you earn after the hard work, it’s part of what allows you to show up with consistency, confidence, and calm energy.
