FROM SURVIVAL TO FIERCE SELF-OWNERSHIP

I'm Sharen, an ICF ACC certified coach who has lived through multiple reinventions. I help women 55+ break free from survival identities to finally redesign life on their own terms.
Your next 20 years don't have to be shaped by who you had to become to survive.
Are You a Woman 55+ Who's Been Playing Grown-Up in Public While Feeling Like a Scared Little Girl Inside?
If you've spent decades in toxic relationships, caregiving while dimming your own light, people-pleasing to stay safe, or recovering from addiction - you know what it feels like to be trapped in a survival identity.
You adapted brilliantly to survive. But now that survival mode is suffocating the woman you could become.
You've earned the right to finally stop performing and start living authentically - but the old patterns keep pulling you back.
Meet Your Coach: Sharen Louise Ryan

I'm an ICF ACC-accredited coach - but that's not where my authority comes from.
Breakthrough Coaching Master - Trained by Dr. Marcia Reynolds (NEW!)
My authority comes from lived experience:
For decades, I was a scared little girl playing grown-up in public. Abandoned at 4. Boarding schools. Foster care. Ran away at 14. Addiction from 22-38. Divorce at 34. Then reinvention after reinvention - showgirl for 10 years, personal trainer for 15 years, and finally, coach.
By 62, I've finally integrated her. I know her fears, I honor her survival strategies, and I've taught her she's finally safe.
That's why I can guide women like you through this integration - because I've walked the path.
I don't coach from theory. I coach from 62 years of empirical evidence that you can break free from survival identities and redesign at ANY stage - even when every "expert" would have written you off.
We don't fix you; we integrate you.

Is Coaching Right for Me?
Who I Work Best with
I work best with women 55+ who are ready to:
  • Stop pretending they have it all together
  • Acknowledge the scared little girl still seeking approval inside
  • Do the deep work of integration (not just surface-level mindset shifts)
  • Commit to dismantling survival patterns that no longer serve them
You're NOT my client if:
  • You're looking for someone to give you a plan or tell you what to do
  • You want a cheerleader, not a truth-teller
  • You're not ready to face uncomfortable truths about your survival patterns
What Coaching Is
Coaching is a partnership that helps you see what you've been unable to see on your own. I ask the questions that unlock new awareness. I witness without judgment. I hold space for the scared little girl AND the fierce woman she's becoming.
What Coaching Isn't
It's not therapy (though I honor therapy). It's not advice-giving. It's not being told what to do. I won't fix you because you're not broken - you were brilliantly adapted for survival. But I will help you recognize when survival mode is now killing you.
What to Expect in a Session
  • A safe space to acknowledge the parts you've been hiding
  • Questions that reveal survival patterns you couldn't see before
  • Compassion for who you've had to be, alongside fierce accountability for who you're becoming
  • A clear path forward - one honest step at a time
