Welcome to High Road to Healing
You always have a choice. Consciousness is the high road. Free will is your superpower.
High Road to Healing teaches you how to choose consciousness over fear—in real time, through real life.
Topics I cover:
Consciousness work: Byron Katie’s inquiry, David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, and how to question the beliefs running your life
Trauma to transformation: Post-traumatic growth, surrender, and choosing differently when life breaks you open.
Practical spiritual tools: Breathing techniques, somatic practices, shadow work, and nervous system regulation.
Money mindset: How subconscious beliefs sabotage abundance and what to do about it.
Aging consciously: Second-half-of-life meaning, generational healing, and what your soul is asking of you.
Political and collective trauma: How to stay grounded and choose love when the world feels on fire.
Post types:
Personal stories from my journey through three major traumas (2005-2025)
Step-by-step consciousness practices you can use today
Research-backed techniques (neuroscience, psychology, spiritual wisdom)
Behind-the-scenes memoir writing and what I’m learning
Current events through the lens of consciousness and choice
What this does for you: You’ll learn to recognize the moment between what happens and how you respond—where your power lives. You’ll stop believing every fearful thought, neutralize your inner critic, and transform survival mode into awakening.
Who I Am
I’m Sherold Barr—master life coach, consciousness teacher, and entrepreneur with 25 years of building successful businesses and helping people (especially women) transform their lives.
Why I’m qualified to teach this:
700+ hours trained at Byron Katie’s Institute for The Work
16 years coaching clients on consciousness, money blocks, and life transformation
Student of: David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, Jungian psychology, Byron Katie (700 hours of training in The Institute for The Work.
Lived experience: Survived three major traumas (brother’s murder in 2005, son’s life-threatening illness, divorce, near-fatal car accident with six surgeries and near-death experience in 2017)
The pivotal moment: During my 2017 near-death experience after a car accident in Baja, Mexico, a voice asked: “You get to choose how you go through this experience. What will you choose?”
I chose consciousness. I chose love. That choice changed everything—and taught me that we always have this choice. Free will is our superpower.
I live in Portland, Oregon, with my husband John (ER physician, 30 years), our Australian Labradoodle, Teddy, tending my urban farm and gardens, camping in our Airstream. I love playing with my three-year-old grandson. I’m in recovery, and I’ve spent five years learning to write truth on the page. I also host the High Road to Healing podcast.

You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become.
With fierce love,
Sherold
