Welcome to High Road to Healing
See your hardest chapter from the high road.
Some seasons of life take everything you thought you knew: a health crisis, a marriage ending, a loss that doesn’t have a name yet. When everything feels like it’s coming apart, the story you tell yourself about what’s happening matters more than almost anything else.
I help people change that story.
My work is mindset, and my approach is what I call the high road view: seeing adversity from your Higher Self instead of seeing it from the low road - fear, anger, blame, shame or the victim role. Nothing about the hard thing has to be pretended away. You learn to ask what it’s teaching you, and you choose how you’ll walk through it.
Why I teach this
In 2017, a near-death experience changed my life. During a surgery after a near-fatal car wreck, a voice in the black void asked me this question telepathically: You get to choose how you go through this experience. What will you choose? The answer came immediately from somewhere deeper than my ego. My higher Self telepathically answered that I didn't want to be a victim. I wanted to take the high road, and use love and gratitude to heal.
That answer became my work. And here’s what I’ve learned since, over and over: real change almost never comes from the top down. It comes from one person showing up for another person. A conversation. A hand extended. Someone saying, “I see you, and I’m not going anywhere.”
Start with the weekly column
Every week I write about seeing adversity through a different lens, in plain language, with something you can use that day. It’s free, and it’s the best way to find out whether my approach is right for you.

Join the Gatherings on the High Road
Reading about a different way to see adversity is one thing. Sitting with other people who are doing it is where it changes you.
Every month, paid members gather with me on Zoom for Gatherings on the High Road. It isn’t a lecture. It’s a room built around you: your questions, your hard chapter, what’s coming up right now. We talk about what makes us resilient, how to live our life on purpose with my 100-Day Visualization Project or how to deal with overwhelm. And over and over, the people who come tell me the same thing: they learn from each other. Someone shares a story, and another person sees their own situation differently.
You don’t have to figure it out alone, and you don’t have to figure it out from the outside.

Work with me more deeply
For people who want guided, one-to-one support through a hard chapter, I offer a three-month program that will free you from beliefs that hold you back from doing what you are meant to do. If you’re in the middle of something and want someone to walk through it with you, reach out and we’ll talk about whether it’s a fit.

Who I Am
I’m a master life coach and consciousness teacher with 25 years of building businesses and helping people transform their lives. I’ve spent 16 years coaching clients on consciousness, money blocks, and life transformation. I’m a student of David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, Jungian psychology, Martha Beck coaching, and Byron Katie, with 700 hours of training at the Institute for The Work. In 2016, I became a Kundalini yoga teacher, not to teach classes, but to go deep into breath and mantra for myself. I’ve spent six years learning to write truth on the page, and I plan to self-publish my memoir in 2027.
I live in Portland, Oregon, with my husband John, a retired ER physician, and our Australian Labradoodle, Teddy. I’m an avid gardener and love hiking and camping in our 19’ Airstream named Bambi. I’m thrilled to have a three-year-old grandson and another on the way, both of whom live nearby.
Nature and animals have helped me heal from life's hard times. One of my friends once gave a dog breeder a reference in order to buy a puppy. She told them, “We all want to come back as Sherold’s dog in the next lifetime.”
That's most of what you need to know about me.
This Is For You If:
You’re a seeker, a sensitive soul, or someone life has cracked open. You want practical tools, not more theory. You’re ready to question everything you’ve been conditioned to believe. You know there’s a choice point in every moment — and you’re ready to use it.
You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become.
With love, Sherold
