About me

Well hello! My name is Sharni & it's my purpose to live my life through my values & to create my legacy in all the moments of the day-to-day, week-to-week, & in the now!

I am a values & vision coach.

I am a Mumma of two amazing boys.

I have a 20+ year career working in the world of media & advertising & I'm an accredited Lightyear Leadership Coach.

I am deeply connected to my Ukrainian heritage, listening to the stories of my grandparents, Anastasia & Alexej.

I live in Hoddles Creek in the Yarra Valley, Australia, overlooking the Toolebewong Mountains.

I am constantly standing in my own growth, listening to my heart; what there is to do & leaning into the work.

My intention

With an open heart, strong back & deep connection, I lead women through their personal growth to their values & visions.

So many things light me up! Where do I start?

I need to have my feet in the river, breath in the country air & walk barefoot through the bush.

Cooking & sharing food with friends. Not just cooking, but mastering a home made jam, or a carrot cake. The joy in creating from scratch & sharing. Cooking on an open fire.

I love the art of a good platter & making a mean cocktail.

Going to the movies by myself. Solo restaurants visits, exhibitions, galleries & hikes. Time to just be.

I love a good book (physical & audible) & listening to amazing & inspiring podcasts that stretch my thinking.

The sound of my boys when we tickle & how long they want to hug, no one wanting to be the first to let go.

Singing really loud dance music in the car.

& finally, I love a good hair day!

What lights me up?

My values

advocacy

Stand up for what I believe in & say what needs to be said. Be brave & sit in the uncomfortable. Advocate for myself as well as for others. Share my strength & empower those around me.

connection

Connect over beautiful food around a table. Bring others together. Have an impact on people & how they FEEL. Show up for everyone, especially my boys.

intuition

Lead from my knowing & listen deeply within for the correct answers. Dream a wilder bigger life for myself. Commit to what I know is important.

purpose

Be in my purpose & work towards my life's visions. Staying focused & living into my personal legacy. Spend my time where it matters most. Know my song.

space

Always, return to what lights me up. Give myself room to breathe & time to be.

Be in the moments & celebrate. Be in all the noticing's. Thank these moments.

integrity

Embrace my sensitivity. Feel all of my feelings deeply. Lead & live in the awareness of what is happening around me. Live for random acts of kindness & raise great men.

I acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the lands throughout Australia. I pay my deepest respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. And personally, the Wurundjeri people of the Yarra Valley, which I am lucky to call home.
