My name is Shira Charles
We level up, we grow & repeat. If we're lucky anyway.
I come from a colorful background, with a somewhat bumpy story. Socially awkward, moved a lot, broken home, father moved out of the country & had little to do with us (I have two sisters). I didn't finish high school, & I didn't go to college for many reasons. I ended up marrying ridiculously young, just to make a home & feel like I could prove my many religious teachers wrong & succeed in the religious world. I became a mother by 20, and a single mother by 23. To say I had no concept of money was an understatement.
I hopped around from job to job, slowly learning that I did in fact have intelligence & skills. Until about 9 years ago, I started my own interior design firm, slowly crawled out of debt, into a secure & comfortable place I could be proud of, and discovered I had ADHD & how that moulded my journey. But most importantly, COMPLETELY altered my perception of self.
Now, I'm on a new journey of building more ideas & businesses, helping others like me realize their potential, either as entrepreneurs, interior designers or any possible future they want & working to make the world ever so slightly better than how I found it.
Helping others see that possibilities are endless, no matter what you thought before, is an honor & so close to my heart. I don't even want to think about what my life would be had I not had access to the people & tools & did to help reframe my perspective. I share my journey & my story on social media for that reason. We all have gifts to give & share & our stories impact the lives of others. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
