#14 Shari Collins’s Story: Deciding To Let Go Of The Baggage Of Life In Order To Live Freely

Shari Collins has lived most of her life in Calgary! She was raised as an only child and mainly by her mother. Her parents got divorced when she was very young and a little while after her dad decided to abandon them. This affected Shari greatly and left her feeling confused and heartbroken. It took her a long time to get over this. In her twenties, she started to work and decided to let it go. Her mom had given her some advice and told her that she was carrying around deluxe baggage everywhere she went and she needed to decide to let that go. It wasn't hurting anyone but herself. Now looking back at it she sees it as a blessing and how much it has shaped who she is today.

We also got to talk about her career in oil and gas and how she deals with uncertainty every day. She took some courses but never took anything seriously till her mom put her foot down! Her advice to someone who is struggling with schooling is to enjoy where you are at in life and to know that you will find your path. You just can't stop looking! 

Shari shared some of the hardest times in her life but also some of the best! When I asked her what was the best time in her life she said it's now! Shari is in the best relationship she's been in for a very long time and has found the person she's meant to be with! It's so refreshing to hear something so positive! She had been in the dating world for a long time and had many failed relationships. Shari shared some of her war stories from online dating. Shari’s family has also grown and she has met her half-brother for the first time this year!
