Bio

My name is Laura Sharon. I’m an executive, leadership, and life coach. I also have a Master’s degree in Health Education, have been practicing mindfulness meditation and the 12-steps for over 40 years, and I facilitate programs based on the research of Brené Brown

Whether we meet through virtual or in person one-on-one coaching, group workshops and retreats, or courses, I hold space for you to explore potential sources of angst such as stress, burnout, work-life challenges, Imposter Syndrome, unresolved grief and shame, uncertainty, mid-life changes, relationship challenges, childhood issues or trauma, and together we transform what troubles you into calmness, contentment, confidence, and lasting peace.

I developed this 11-part class–Transforming Shame: Release for Relief–for you to heal shame.

And here’s one of my most popular blog articles: 10 Tips to Stop Shaming Yourself

I also am an author. My debut memoir–I Thought I was Going to Die, and Then I Didn’t–publishes on June 8, 2027 with She Writes Press. My first book, When I Lay My Hands on My Heart, is a compilation of poetry and drawings—for therapists and other helping professionals working with trauma survivors—that chronicles how I used creativity as a tool for healing my childhood trauma.

I also am a Featured Author in three of the Wellness Universe’s Guide to Complete Self-Care series:

The Wellness Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Transformation

The Wellness Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Happiness

“Laura Sharon’s wit and wisdom helped me to find inner strength and resilience to come to terms with issues I was facing at work and in my career. She provided resources, tools, and insight that helped me to navigate difficult situations and stay true to myself during the process. I highly recommend her for her listening skills, empathy, and ability to gently challenge you to be the best version of yourself possible, at work and beyond.” –-Public Health Advisor, HHS

 

“Laura Sharon’s approach embodies the true essence of coaching. It only took a session or two with Laura to unlock my passion and give me courage to move in a new direction. Her consultative approach enabled me to explore what was important in my life and the untapped skills that would support me as I navigate through unchartered territory. Laura did not tell me what to do, she enabled me to define my own path and then travel that road with a new sense of purpose and direction.” — Business Owner
