Join us as we explore what it means to be on a perfectly imperfect journey to a fulfilled life. We have a deep curiosity about the ways in which we each navigate the journey - how to savor the times when you’re in flow, what happens when you hit a bump in the road, and how to find the learning and growth in ALL of it. Because the one thing that is certain is no one’s life path is a straight line! We have lots of thoughts, ideas, and questions to share around what it takes to live a fulfilling life and we will also be talking to friends, colleagues, and experts. While our focus is on modern “western” concerns, interests, needs, fears, etc. we look to both eastern and western philosophies and practices to guide us on our journeys. We hope this podcast will feel like getting together with some good friends over a glass of wine or a cup of tea every few weeks - we do not have all the answers, but we have lots of questions and hope to inspire you to consider where you want your own journey to take you. Anne is an HR Executive and consultant and Sherry’s an executive and life coach. We have been friends and colleagues for over fifteen years and have had the good fortune to dive deeply into a wide variety of approaches that we’ve brought into both our professional and personal lives.

She was at the top of her game with one of the world’s most iconic brands, doing the work that had taken her across the world and back multiple times. From the outside looking in, things looked really good for Shelley Paxton.
But, she had a secret. Shelley would be awoken every night by the same nightmare and walked through her days with anxiety, both of which she tried to numb with busyness and alcohol. She finally reached a point where she couldn’t tolerate the pain of playing to someone else’s version of success and went on a journey to find her lost soul.
Shelley no longer believes in following the rules, and wants to lead a revolution for all of us to reclaim our rebel nature and fully dance to the beat of our own music.
Bio
Think Brené Brown meets Biker Babe, with a dash of Liz Gilbert. As former Chief
Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson, Shelley Paxton found herself at the top of the
proverbial mountain feeling success-EMPTY instead of success-FULL. That awakening led
her on a profound journey that became her mission, business, and Simon & Schuster-
published bestselling book, Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life.
She’s leading a REBELution to rewrite the script of success.
Shelley’s inspiring work has been featured on NBC, CBS, Forbes, Thrive Global, Inc.,
Business Insider, Yahoo!, and a TEDx stage.
Her signature keynote – “Where Soul Meets Success” – is an essential roadmap for
leaders and organizations to redefine success in ways that celebrate humanity, well-
being, and fulfillment. It’s the post-pandemic antidote to burnout and seeking.
She’s based in Chicago (when not indulging her wanderlust) and is obsessed with mental
health advocacy and the color orange.
