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.

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

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.

Who is Shā Sparks? Shā Sparks is the CEO—the chief excitement officer—of Sparks of Fire International, a certified fearless living coach and trainer. She hosts The Power of Investing in People podcast. She's the author of How to Get Your Voice Back and cofounder of the Firestarters book project. Shā grew up with two parents and two older brothers in a seemingly normal life. She says it was awful, emotionally unavailable, and draining. It was not nurturing or loving. Now she is looking back and realizes she overcame much:   addiction anger depression being bullied being a bully low self-worth a 12-year abusive relationship the death of her mother, father, and brother in the span of 6 years Despite all that, she was a high achiever, a top salesperson in about 15 salons for nearly 30 years. She now helps veterans turn trauma into treasure. Shā had a tumultuous relationship with her father growing up but built a good relationship with him in the last few years of his life and learned a lot about him before he passed away. He often said, “I had no choice.” That made Shā realize that she used that exact phrase often. She decided to become aware of and change how she spoke to herself. When she did that, great things happened. Lessons learned This amazing woman shared so many wonderful things, and we talked about so much. Here are some of the things: We need to get out of this mindset that says, “My worth is my job.” The law of reciprocity says that if you serve enough people, someone will come to serve you. When we learn, it's knowledge, and when we share, it's wisdom. Share more. Hoarding knowledge doesn't do anyone any good. God whispers to us, and we follow through on that, and there's no time wasted. It's an opportunity. Continue walking through open doors, continue sharing our stories, and give people that tiny spark of hope. Everything is a learning experience. Everything that we do, every conversation we have, every single showing or thing in our real estate career is an opportunity to learn. Have a growth mindset. A huge mindset piece for Realtors and entrepreneurs in general is “No” means “next opportunity.” Something bigger is on the horizon. Look at what we're saying to ourselves, what we're listening to. If your team is not boosting you up, that's too bad. How can you reframe it? Any business is based on relationships. You build that up by just being you, and then everything else will fall into place. Do something fun every day. Remember: You can create success in this business. Don't try to be like me; be you. Be authentic. Be who you are, and it's going to come together. Show notes and blog posts are brought to you by HarshmanServices.com.

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/
