Shehera Barnes started her professional life as an assistant in the fashion industry. After years of hard work and dedication, she moved from design to sales and later rose to the position of Vice President of sales for an international denim brand. However, all these years, Shehera was sacrificing one of the most fundamental pillars of a happy life: her mental health.
Deep down, Shehera knew that this was not the kind of life she was meant to live; however, the fear of having to start anew kept her from realizing her true purpose in life. It wasn’t until she reached her breaking point did Shehera acknowledge the need to reevaluate her priorities.
Since the tender age of 18, Shehera knew that she was destined to help others, but somewhere along the way, a series of missteps led her to live a life that was alien to her. It was her commitment to work that kept her going but at the expense of her emotional and mental health.
While it seemed like Shehera was thriving, that was far from the truth. She had her emotions locked up in a box as she carried on with her days, pretending to be content with her choices. However, a fortunate stroke of serendipity led her to reconnect with her desires.
At this point, Shehera’s work-life was more hectic than ever. Regardless of her long working hours, relentless traveling, and never-ending meetings, she was set to study and incorporate spiritual practices within her life. According to Shehera, she “set out to study every healing modality that had helped or ignited a spark” within her. Soon, she transitioned from full-time to part-time consultation work in the fashion industry for a few years while she made solid plans to kickstart her own business.
Shehera was fearful of giving up her steady source of income. Having worked in the fashion industry for 17 years, she had her suspicions about the business world. However, Shehera decided to honor her passion for spiritual healing by opening a healing center called “Anahata Holistic Healing.”
“If I could make millions for other companies, I certainly could create a successful brand for myself and do what lit up my soul, which was helping others,” she said.
Two years ago, Shehera fully transitioned to her career as an entrepreneur. Her business is now thriving and setting up a high precedent for others in the industry. She is a phenomenal transformational coach and spiritual healer who has been helping others steer clear from the mistakes she made in life. Shehera is fulfilling her lifelong dream to help others by teaching them how to manifest the life they were born to live.
