ABOUT THE SHOW Shelly’s show is not a typical podcast. It is a cinematic, memoir-driven audio experience based on a true story so wild, emotional, and unbelievable that listeners physically cannot stop listening. Told with raw vulnerability, dark humor, and razor-sharp emotional precision, Seasons 1–4 chronicle a real journey through: • generational trauma • toxic family systems • marital collapse • psychological unraveling • cultural conditioning • identity death and rebirth • the shockingly dark and the breathtakingly beautiful This is NOT self-help advice. This is NOT interviews. This is NOT surface-level inspiration. This is prestige storytelling — a haunting, addictive memoir that becomes the entry point into a global mindfulness brand. Think: Eat, Pray, Love meets Dirty John…a reinvention story wrapped inside a real psychological unraveling listeners can’t turn away from. They binge it at 2 a.m., text their friends, and whisper: “How is this real?” THE BROADER PICTURE The podcast is the first chapter of a multi-year ecosystem: Podcast → Book → Masterclass → $299 Course → Mindfulness Tech Platform Launch date: January 13, 2026 — Shelly’s birthday.
