Today we’d like to introduce you to Shari Teigman.
Hi Shari, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Honestly, I didn’t set out to do this work, I sort of tripped into it by way of losing the life I thought I was supposed to want.
I had the “right” marriage, the house, the roles. From the outside, it looked like I had it all figured out. But inside? It felt hollow. I’d built a version of myself that ticked every box and felt nothing.
When it all cracked- the marriage, the identity, the blueprint- I hit the ground hard. But that unraveling gave me access to something I hadn’t touched in years: myself.
Through that messy middle, I trained in coaching, creative psychology, nervous system work… but more than that, I started listening. To myself. To others. To the parts of us we’re taught to hide to keep things looking tidy.
Now I work with people who’ve outgrown the version of themselves that built their current life or business. They’re not broken. They’re just bored, burnt out, or stuck in a script that no longer fits.
My job isn’t to hand them a new one. It’s to help them write their own new version of success and fulfillment, in their inner Maverick way.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not even close. Smooth implies linear and my road’s been anything but.
The biggest struggle wasn’t external, it was internal. Letting go of the version of me that was built to please, prove, and perform.
That version got shit done. But she also kept me disconnected from myself, exhausted, and living a life that looked great but felt off.
Divorce was a huge rupture. So was becoming a single parent and trying to rebuild while holding everything together. I didn’t have the luxury of time or space to figure it all out, I had to grow while paying bills and making dinner and navigating grief I didn’t yet know how to name while adoring being a mom to the best duo I could have ever asked for.
Another layer? Starting a business that wasn’t “strategic,” but soul driven in an industry that loves boxes and blueprints. It was lonely at times, and terrifying to trust my gut when the world kept offering templates.
I’ve had to learn how to be with my own chaos, not outrun it.
To stop performing clarity and actually sit in the mess until the next true move showed up. That part’s still hard sometimes. But it’s also where all the good stuff lives.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Shari Teigman?
I work with high performing entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders who look successful on the outside but quietly feel like something’s missing.
They’ve built the thing. Grown the business. Checked the boxes.
But it doesn’t feel like theirs anymore.
That’s where I come in.
I don’t offer step by step systems or surface level mindset hacks. I work at the identity level, helping people remember who they are under the noise, the roles, and the rules they’ve outgrown. It’s deep, strategic, and wildly personal.
Whether it’s private coaching, my Maverick programs, or keynote work, the through line is always the same:
Helping people burn the script and rebuild from a place of actual truth, not branding.
What sets this work apart?
It’s not about fixing.
It’s about unlocking.
My clients aren’t broken, they’re bored of performing success that no longer fits.
They come to me when they’re ready to lead from who they really are, not who they think they need to be.
Brand-wise, what I’m most proud of is the rawness.
People don’t come here to be inspired. They come to be ignited.
This isn’t a performance space. It’s a permission space.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
Don’t confuse doubt with a red light.
It’s just the nervous system doing its job- protecting you from the unfamiliar.
You’re not doing it wrong because it feels scary. You’re doing it right because it feels real.
Also, ignore the noise that says you need to niche perfectly, be clear from Day 1, or prove your worth before charging. You’ll never feel ready. You start, and clarity meets you along the way.
I wish someone had told me:
You’re allowed to build the thing as you become the person.
You don’t have to wait until you’re more healed, more polished, more “expert.”
Start from where you actually are- messy, curious, not totally sure, and let that be your edge, not your obstacle.
One more thing? Don’t outsource your voice.
Mentors, strategies, and templates can help, but if you lose your own voice in the process, the success won’t feel like yours.
The earlier you learn to trust your gut over the algorithm, the better.
