We recently connected with Sherinata Pollock and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Sherinata, thanks for joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

I actually had two defining moments in my career that are important to share with the reader: The first was back in 2013 when I was working as a successful Intuitive Life Coach. By the time 1 pm rolled around every afternoon, I would get slight headaches and extreme fatigue. Although, I never had a history of headaches and I was always a high-energy kind of gal the best medicine for me was a little energy work then a quick catnap at my desk to cure my afternoon blahs and get back to being the energizer bunny again. I tried changing vitamins, changing my routines, eating habits, and pretty much everything under the sun so I could start feeling better. One day all that changed when someone told me that my symptoms were a classic case of toxic radiation and energy sensitivity created by EMFs (electromagnetic fields). What in the world is that? It is the energy and radiation that comes from our technology and people who are “energy sensitive” have side effects like this or much more. She gave me something a stone called, shungite, and told me to wear it and put it also put one near my computer because it would neutralize the radiation and also help to release the pain and fatigue in my body. Three days went by and honestly, I was shocked at how much better I felt. No more headaches, fatigue, or brain fog – completely GONE! At that moment, I knew I needed to know more about this stone and why it worked so quickly on eliminating my issues and I certainly needed to educate myself more about EMF technology radiation so I could tell my family, friends, and clients about it. I was like Oprah Winfrey – Everybody Needs to Have This!!! And, so, it was at this point I started incorporating some of my own signature radiation protection products to sell with my coaching.

I became very passionate about educating about EMF protection because not only did this alter my daily life significantly, but my first husband was diagnosed, at the age of 34, with the most aggressive brain tumor, called a glioblastoma, and in just 6 months after diagnosis, he passed away leaving me with my one-year-old son. My late husband passed away in 1999, he was an electrician and when I was researching EMF radiation I found a study from the 1980s that said electricians had the highest rates of this brain tumor per occupation because they were surrounded by EMF radiation. This study was over 30 years ago when we only had beepers! We had no idea what the future would hold for us and that cell phones, cell towers, WiFi, and the entire digital and technology age was soon coming and going to change the world forever as we knew it. Yes, my passion ran very deep for this calling, and to share my message with my coaching clients and as many people as I could.

The second major defining moment in my career was on April 28, 2021, when I was diagnosed with a very large, asymptomatic, grade 2 meningioma brain tumor and was emitted into the hospital for emergency brain surgery. My neurosurgeon said I am very lucky to be here today because it was the size of a plum, literally pushing my left brain to the side. If I would have waited much longer my symptoms would have been irreversible or fatal. My brain tumor was growing very fast, at an 18% growth rate and when we rolled back time and did the math my tumor was actually 1 cm when I was getting the headaches, brain fog, and fatigue. Between my late husband’s deadly tumor and my tumor, we covered the statistics on getting the 2 most common “primary brain tumors”. There is a 1% chance of getting a brain tumor and somehow we both got the not-so-lucky golden tickets. With these odds, I’d much rather take my chances on winning the lotto! But, this was how our cards were dealt and this was a huge sign for me to pivot my business and go full-scale sharing my story and offering education and solutions for EMF radiation protection.

But, what caused my brain tumor, why did this happen? Back in 2010, I built a small addition off my bedroom to accommodate my growing business. It was a dream come true – all the latest WiFi and technology I could ask for right at my fingertips. I had the WiFi router, 2 monitors, a Bluetooth printer, a cordless phone, and my cell phone/charging station. I worked in this office all day and then slept in it just a few feet away in my bedroom with EMF radiation bouncing off me day and night. Unbeknownst to me, I actually created a microwave oven in my office that literally cooked/radiated my cells to create my brain tumor, and little did I know that it would impact my life more than I could ever imagine.

And, so here I am today, two years after my surgery, living in gratitude every day knowing that I am here today to shine my light and share my story, and offering solutions for technology radiation so what happened to me won’t happen to you or your loved ones.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Before my brain tumor experience, I had been working as a Life Coach, Energy Healer, and Speaker for over 12 years helping women and their families get out of stress and into success so they could live the lives they dreamed of. I LOVED watching my clients transform their lives to become happier and more successful by teaching them easy and simple ways to manage and release their stress in minutes. Since I have been coaching and helping people to understand how their positive and negative mindset affects their body and the energy around them, it was an easy transition to talk about the toxic energy of technology and how it also affects the energy and biology of our bodies. Not only do we need to be mindful of our emotional and physical toxicity and stress, but I believe it is time for us “to be smarter than our smart technology” and to start being mindful of the toxic energy that is surrounding us from our technology in our homes, schools, offices, neighborhoods, vehicles and pretty much – everywhere. I wrote an e-Book: EMF Protection Made Simple: Easy Steps to Get Started Now that you can find on my website to help people understand how your technology is affecting you and your family – especially children and solutions to help you stay protected in your home and surroundings. During my pivot, I left my coaching business to launch my e-commerce company, Karelia Creations.com offering beautiful, handmade jewelry and accessories with EMF radiation protection for adults and children so my customers can start living healthier in this digital age. We are a small women-owned and operated company on multiple platforms offering opportunities in our local community to women and teens to make jewelry, take photographs, model for us and grow with us behind the scenes. My heart is fulfilled knowing that I am transforming more lives than ever on a very large scale and it makes me so happy to know that our customers are wearing our beautiful jewelry and accessories to help keep them healthy.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

We all have a choice to create a positive or negative mindset. We have a choice to live in joy and inner peace or anger and frustration. When I was first diagnosed with my brain tumor I had a choice to either break down or find internal peace. Faith over fear was my choice, it instantly became my survival mode. I had faith in this experience and that everything happens for me, not to me so I stayed focused on a positive outcome. I went onto Facebook and updated everyone on my situation and all I asked, which was most important to me, was to get only uplifting comments. I didn’t want anyone saying, “Oh, I’m sorry for what happened, are you ok?” Blah, blah, blah, Just surround me with prayers, good vibes, and happy stories to help shift my mindset so if I had a moment of sadness or doubt I could go to my page and feel the love of the community rooting for me and healing me with their kind thoughts. After all, what was there to be nervous about – the surgeon is only going to cut my skull open and literally perform brain surgery, right? How bad can that really be? So I went into surgery and as soon as the anesthesia wore off I immediately went on FB live and shared my story and updated everyone on my surgery, thanking them for the positive vibes and prayers they surrounded me with. Come to find out I came out of the craniotomy and had 43 staples holding my head together – they actually opened my head up and pulled out a grade 2, asymptomatic tumor that was growing at 18% and was the size of a plum. Should I have been scared? Maybe – grateful – totally. When they rolled me into ICU I was literally working on myself with healing energies, meditation, and listening to healing music the entire evening. I stayed completely in my healing zone of positivity and light. And, here’s the miracle – the doctor came in the next morning and released me from the hospital. Less than 24 hours after brain surgery I was released from the hospital. You should have seen my husband’s face – he was like WHAT?!? Seriously?!? The usual recovery for this surgery is at least 3 days sometimes a week or more. Yes, this is the power of positive energy. My surgeon put in his notes – miraculous healing – the patient had a positive attitude, did meditation, energy healing, and listened to sound healing music. Resilience is about NOT giving up while continuing to live your life in the best and highest way you can without having the stress of outside circumstances consume you. It’s about having faith over fear. Have faith in what makes you happy and fills your heart and soul.

And, for me, I continue this life lesson and journey because technology is NOT going away. It’s time to pay attention to our behaviors and habits and choose to make positive changes so we can be smarter than our smart electronics.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

It was about 15 years ago when I started writing my first book. I had an idea that was going to change the world, or so I thought. For many people, including myself, the easiest part of writing a book, is exactly that – writing it. It’s the marketing and getting your message out that can be the biggest struggle for most authors. I had this BIG vision for myself and my book and I knew the whole world needed to hear it, yet there were crickets when I put myself out there that left a huge pit in my stomach and wanted to make me feel like a failure, nobody wants to hear me, nobody cares. However, this was MY story, not reality. At this time in my life I didn’t have a strong network and hadn’t spent the time building relationships in a community where people supported each other. In fact, I was barely on social media. That’s when I realized, if I wanted to be successful, I knew I had to be brave and change my approach by creating a new reality. I had to get out of my comfort zone and show up in a bigger way so people could get to know my crazy, fun-loving, audacious self and my life-changing book and messages. I found two large communities of women that I really resonated with and between the two of them, I joined their networks and started building the strong relationships I needed to get my message out and help others. In fact, I became a lifetime member of both groups. In fact, one of them, called WPN – Women’s Prosperity Network offers many certifications and I took business coaching and speaking classes to learn how to deliver an intriguing and impactful message to an audience and started speaking on stages and being interviewed on podcasts. This is how I shifted my career and built my reputation. I kept putting myself out there, investing in myself, and valuing my time and self-worth while building incredible friendships and relationships. Building relationships doesn’t happen overnight and it’s a continuous effort of showing up and giving to others as much as taking.
The most valuable lesson I learned over the years is that people buy from people and your network is your net worth. As human beings, we are supposed to be an evolving species, and many of us, especially entrepreneurs, are always evolving with our businesses. It’s been a strong 10 years since I’ve been building my network, showing up and working my business and when I shifted from coaching to EMF radiation protection products and solutions, my network shifted with me because they knew me and trusted me. If you keep changing businesses, creating new products, or writing new books because you aren’t getting the success you want or you think it’s not “good enough” take a moment and look deep inside of you and see what needs changing. Anyone can create an idea, just think about the Pet Rock, Chia Pet, and the Snuggie. It’s the magic of marketing it and getting the message out there that makes the big bucks reinforcing the statement that your network is your net worth.
