Shā Sparks' midlife transformation was about breaking free—from toxic relationships, self-doubt, and the need for closure. After years in an abusive relationship, she realized she didn't need answers or closure to heal—she just needed to walk away. Letting go of the “why” allowed her to move forward and build a life rooted in self-worth rather than past wounds. A big part of that journey was changing her self-talk—shifting from harsh self-judgment to a more compassionate view. Now, in her 40s, she's thriving. Her story is a reminder that healing isn't about understanding the past—it's about reclaiming your future.Guest Bio As the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International, Shā hosts her signature podcast, The Shā Sparks Show and is co-host of UnderWired podcast. She is also a Master Practitioner of NLP, Hypnosis, Reiki, Mental and Emotional Release, a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Trainer, the author of How to Get Your Voice Back, and the Co-Founder of the FIRESTARTERS Project.Turning 40 and Finding Peace Without AnswersAt 16, Shā Sparks found herself at rock bottom—arrested for a DUI and facing the reality of a life shaped by addiction, abuse, and deep emotional wounds. But that moment of humiliation was also the spark that ignited her journey toward healing. In this episode, she shares her incredible story of resilience, the power of breaking cycles, and how she found real love—not just in others, but within herself.Episode Highlights:The defining moment at 16 that changed the trajectory of Sha's life.How childhood trauma shaped her early years and led to self-destructive habits.The pivotal decision to quit drinking at 25—and the surprising catalyst behind it.What kept her stuck in an abusive relationship for 12 years, and what finally set her free.How journaling and gratitude helped her regain control over her life.The profound realization that changed her understanding of love and relationships.Why she believes healing starts with the way we speak to ourselves.Shā's story reminds us that healing isn't about understanding why bad things happened—it's about learning to let go and move forward.

Episode 185 – Interview with Shā Sparks, Chief Excitement OfficerToday, Shā Sparks resides on the Space Coast of Florida and is the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International. She is on a mission to help leaders reignite their F.I.R.E. to take fearless action and to be intentional in their communications while acknowledging their own resiliency, and sparking excitement in their lives and businesses.Growing up with a father who was unwillingly drafted into the Army to serve time in Korea, Shā inherited her father's "I don't have a choice" mindset. Later in life, she realized she did have a choice and overcame abuse, addiction, depression, anger, low self-worth, being a bully, and being bullied. She started drinking at a young age. The first time being drunk came about at age 11. That was followed by suicidal thoughts at the age of twelve, and then she started drinking daily around age 15. Sadly, she was then issued a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) ticket at the age of sixteen. But her real-life change began to take place when she made the decision to stop drinking at twenty-four years of age and she's been sober ever since.Shā overcame her challenges through prayer, journaling, and via her relationship with God. Today, she has proactively changed that fear-based phrase "I don't have a choice" into a determination to inspire others to make fearless choices. Her mission is to have a positive impact on humanity.Shā is a Certified Fearless Living Coach and a trainer. She is a Master Practioner of NLP, MER, and Hypnosis, as well as the host of “the Shā Sparks Show podcast, the author of “how to Get Your Voice Back”, and the Co-Founder of the FIRESTARTERS Book Project.Her online connections are:Website: www.shasparks.com Podcast: www.theshasparksshow.com https://www.instagram.com/theshasparks https://www.facebook.com/iamshasparks www.linkedin.com/in/sha-sparks acourageousrecovery.com

As business owners, we often find ourselves so engrossed in the daily grind that we forget to stop and ask the most crucial question: Are we truly living the life we want? While achieving professional success is undoubtedly essential, it's equally important to pause, reflect, and ensure that personal growth and mental fitness are not left behind. The truth is that self-awareness, finding space for what truly matters, and improving our mental fitness are essential components that can lead to lasting peace of mind and a more fulfilling life. Join Matt DiFrancesco and Charis Santillie, Life Balance & Transition Coach for Entrepreneurs and Host of the Charis Your Life podcast, as they talk about how our mental challenges can hold us back from achieving the life we want and how having a coach to guide us as we face these hurdles is vital to having a richer life than what we imagined.

Her mother developed alcoholism while she kept herself ridiculously busy to be able to control her internal crises. When Charis realized that she shouldn't let her father's condition paralyze her life, she met with a life coach who helped her peel back her protective layers and learn to trust herself and the world around her. She then spent the next 10 years focusing on personal development until she finally found calm and inner peace. Charis now guides top achievers through their personal and professional transitions and helps them go from “busy to balanced”. She believes that it's possible to live the life we want without dealing with persistent guilt, worries about others' opinions, or sacrifices to your health and sense of purpose. Aside from being a coach and podcast host, Charis is also a speaker, Certified Fearless Living® Coach, Certified Fearless Trainer, and Positive Intelligence® Trainer.

Are you seeking balance in your life? Do you feel like there's so much to do, but not enough time?Today's guest, Charis Santillie is here to help. As a coach, podcaster, inspirational speaker, and all-around seasoned entrepreneur, she knows what it's like to be born with ambition – and how, when left unchecked, it can lead to a lack of balance in your day-to-day life. When she was only 19, Charis was in a traumatic hot air balloon crash with her family that left her Dad paralyzed with a broken neck and led her Mom to become an alcoholic. After that, Charis lived her life feeling unsafe, unconsciously scared of everything, and always bracing for impact. For much of her life, Charis chose to avoid feelings and managed her INTERNAL crisis by staying ridiculously BUSY—giving the illusion of control. In this episode, she shares how we use control to bypass our own feelings, and even though in some ways it's easier to stay shut down from our emotions, why we should wake up and start feeling them.This is a beautiful conversation about how peeling back the layers of yourself to heal can be challenging, but why it's so worth it so we can more deeply connect with our personal sense of joy, love, and passion.We all experience events in our lives that cause us pain or disruption, but Charis shares that - despite what life gives you – there is always a way to reserve personal space, balance your needs and wants, and live a fulfilled life on your terms.Meet Charis Santillie Charis is a Life Balance Coach, Certified Fearless Living® Coach, Certified Fearless Trainer, Positive Intelligence® Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, and Entrepreneur who teaches people how to heal your life, take back control, and change your energy for the betterment of yourself and the world.Connect with Charis:Listen to the Charis Your Life PODCASTRead her Life's a Hoot BLOGVisit her Website: CharisYourLife.com Learn about Busy to Balanced™ Get her FREE Training: How to Live LiSupport the show----------YOU FEEL IT DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEART.

This episode is a full-circle moment. This very special guest introduced me to life coaching 11 years ago and helped me peel back my protective layers so that I could, as she famously says, “live the life my soul intended.” If it weren't for her, I most likely would not be a life coach and this podcast wouldn't exist.

If anyone ever had an excuse to let their life be ruled by fear, it would be Rhonda, yet she did not let fear win; she chose freedom.What You'll Learn:- How Rhonda and I met - Rhonda's perspective of me and my journey, including me being a recovering perfectionist- What happened when Rhonda was 14 that shaped her remarkable life and ultimately led her to create Fearless Living - How Rhonda Britten became a life coach — including an amazing story she's only recently started sharing publicly- The concept and philosophy behind Fearless Living (which is the foundation of my coaching/training as a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Certified Fearless Trainer)- What “fear” and “freedom” mean in the world of Fearless Living- The importance of taking responsibility for your own life and how you can make positive changes by taking ownership of your thoughts and actionsYou can also watch the video of this interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/y5T8HVXvGzUResources: - Get Your Free Chapter From Rhonda's Best Selling Book Change Your Life In 30 Days! https://fearlessliving.org/chapter-cyl- Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (And Stop Sacrificing Your Sanity, Personal Space, or Social Life) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

What does it mean to be a fearless leader? For many, leadership isn't something that they ever pursued, but they were called to it. And often that can trigger a response that puts us into an uncomfortable space. The good news is, you're not alone. Sha Sparks is the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International. She hosts The Power of Investing in People Podcast, is the author of How to Get Your Voice Back, is a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Trainer, and the Co-Founder of the FIRESTARTERS Book Project. In this episode, we uncover: How formative experiences continue to impact us well into our adult years, and how to recover from those experiences Why imposter syndrome comes into effect and how to overcome this feeling That using our voice to tell our story can open us up to new possibilities and outcomes Why physically journaling creates connections in our brain that releases past traumas and can help redefine ourselves Most people have some kind of trauma that we (unconsciously) carry with us. Having ways to process these experiences and move on is an incredibly valuable exercise that I would suggest to anyone.

Today I want to share with you a book I recently listened to called “Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear.” The book was written by best-selling author Elizabeth Gilbert (who you may know as the author of “Eat Pray Love”). I listened to the Audible book, and Liz narrated it. She has a really warm, lovely voice, and I really enjoyed listening to her.What You'll Learn:- How our culture tends to have us leave the joyful activities of childhood behind when we transition into adulthood- How to approach fear when embarking on something new- How Liz pictures fear (as a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Certified Fearless Trainer, I found her description to be hilarious and very fitting!)- How to approach challenges in a joyful way- The importance of accessing our inner self to achieve balance and purposeOverall, throughout the book, she talks about being creative, curious, and trusting yourself, which are things I've been focused on accessing more myself, as well as helping my clients with. I highly recommend this book!Resources: - “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert: https://amzn.to/3iITtw8 - Get my FREE 6-minute training ‘Your First Step to Better Life Balance' https://charisyourlife.com/freetraining - Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/charisyourlife/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/Note: Some links for products are affiliate links to Amazon and other vendors.

I am the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International & Certified Fearless Living Coach, I understand the pressure of being a successful leader. And, I know first hand the frustration of not being understood. Also, I have felt like I was running on an endless loop of meaningless tasks with nothing to look forward to. In order to move forward in these areas, I took the time and effort to invest in myself. Thankfully, I was able to learn new skills. And then, I started to notice how it naturally overflows onto my business, my family and my community. With that said, I challenge you to invest in yourself, so that I will be able to teach you the skills and tools that re-ignites that fire inside of you. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sh%C4%81-sparks-8a120b50/
