Today we’d like to introduce you to Jayme Shiarla.
Hi Jayme, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I spent a lot of years believing that the more I achieved, the more I’d be loved, respected, and seen as “enough.” So I chased success relentlessly — working harder, pushing further, and constantly trying to prove my worth through what I accomplished. But what it really brought me was burnout, exhaustion, and a deep sense of loneliness.
Through both personal and professional adversity, I was knocked down more times than I can count. But those moments became my greatest teachers. I’ve always been fascinated by how the brain works, and I started to realize that our mindset needs training just like a muscle in the gym — with consistency, awareness, and discipline. That understanding changed everything.
I began doing the deeper work: redefining success, healing my relationship with myself, and learning how to lead from peace instead of pressure. Today, I help others do the same — guiding high performers to not just build success that looks good on paper, but to actually feel fulfilled, confident, and connected in their lives. Because when your mental, emotional, and relational banks are full, your success finally feels as good as it looks.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not even close. My journey has been full of highs and lows, and honestly, most of my growth came through the struggle. For a long time, I was operating from overdrive — trying to earn love and validation through performance. I wore my resilience like armor and called it strength, but really, it was avoidance. I avoided rest, I avoided asking for help, and I avoided feeling.
That way of living eventually caught up with me. I burned out mentally, emotionally, and spiritually more than once. I had to face the truth that busyness isn’t the same as purpose and that leading others well requires learning how to lead yourself first. Breaking those patterns and learning to slow down, surrender control, and trust God in the tension was some of the hardest, but most freeing work I’ve ever done.
We’ve been impressed with Jayme Shiarla Coaching , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I’m an Executive Wellness Coach, NLP Practitioner, Speaker, and Author who helps high-achieving men and women all over the world who are financially successful but emotionally and relationally depleted. I specialize in one-on-one coaching that helps leaders rebuild from the inside out — to experience the peace, connection, and fulfillment that their success was supposed to bring but hasn’t yet.
I lead leaders. And what sets my approach apart is that I meet them in the trenches — in the quiet moments of loneliness that often come with leading from the top. When you’re constantly pouring into others, it can feel nearly impossible to find someone who truly understands what it’s like to carry that weight, much less trust them to help you navigate it. That’s where my work comes in — providing a safe, judgment-free space for high performers to be seen, supported, and strengthened again.
From there, my work expands into speaking engagements, corporate wellness workshops, and retreats — all designed to help individuals and teams slow down enough to realign their mindset, reconnect with purpose, and lead from a place of wholeness rather than exhaustion.
At the core of my brand is this belief: success is meant to feel good — not just look good. And that’s the transformation I help my clients experience every day.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Finding the right mentor or network isn’t about collecting business cards or building connections based on status — it’s about finding people who truly see you, not just what you do. The best mentors I’ve had are the ones who challenge my thinking, remind me who I am when I forget, and hold me accountable to the version of myself I’m becoming.
When it comes to networking, I think it’s so important to prioritize intentional time — to genuinely build and connect, not just meet and move on. Be willing to learn, to grow, and to have your perspectives challenged. But also, be mindful not to fall into someone else’s representation of success. Make sure the people you’re surrounding yourself with actually align with your values. That alignment will tell you everything about who you want to do business with, receive advice from, and walk alongside as you grow.
Networking, to me, isn’t about “who you know.” It’s about how you show up. When you lead with authenticity, curiosity, and integrity, you naturally attract the kind of people who don’t just open doors for you — they help you grow through them.
