Today we’d like to introduce you to Sherry Ellingson.

Hi Sherry, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?

My story is long and it started at a young age. However when I decided the move in to having my own business was shortly after I was laid off my corporate job during the financial crisis in 2010. I wanted to help women owned service businesses as a consultant to improve their financial bottom line.
During that time I worked with a various of businesses including but not limited to clothing designer, jewelry store owner and designer, home improvement and briefly the C.E.O. of a personal styling platform. The challenge with all of the businesses was the mindset of the owner and each and everyone of them while wanting to succeed, they couldn’t get past a threshold to get them to the next level.
During this process there were personal challenges in my life: my Mom had recently recovered from Breast Cancer; then a few years forward she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Another close relative was diagnosed with the same, I lost one of my best friends to lung cancer as well. I was married with two young girls as I worked on my consulting business.
In 2013 I went in for a mammogram and I was told I may have breast cancer, later after further examination it was a non cancerous tumor.
However this was one of the biggest pivot points in my life. It put me on a path to change my lifestyle completely.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

My road has not been smooth; I have fallen and failed so many times both personally and professionally.
However each time I have learned the lesson and have eventually gotten back up to try a different version of it.
After my health scare in 2013, I decided to get certified as a Yoga Teacher. This was partly for me and to manage my stress, partly to teach women how to take care of themselves too. After the program I went in a Life Coaching Certification program to better understand people’s emotional and mental mindsets. This was to help me become a better Consultant and Coach.

As you know, we’re big fans of Sherry Ellingson Business. Career. Financial Coach and Yoga Teacher. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

I love to work with people who want to grow their business, lives, and finances. We are multi layered and one area of life influences the rest. I love to teach classes and workshops around self confidence, time and money management, balancing life and relationship issues. Teaching people how to deeply care for themselves such as physical movement, lifestyle enhancements and financial security is my specialty.
I use a unique approach with my clients and meet them as they are: whole human beings with areas they want to grow in.

How do you think about happiness?

My children, my work and my hobbies make me happy. The work that I do is exciting to me and I love the creativity that comes with it. Teaching others to learn their path, enhancing their lifestyle and learning financial freedom is my passion.
My two daughters are my reason behind my life choices; I want them to be strong and stand up for what they believe in and make a difference in the world.
As far as my hobbies I LOVE Yoga, working out, pickle ball, sewing, cooking and spending time in nature.
