Part 6/9:
Shelley emphasizes that happiness resides within her relationship with herself. She learned that her motivation and behavior stem from understanding her worth and living authentically. Her realization that she is not entirely in control of everything around her shifted her focus toward surrendering her fears and trusting in a higher power—her words: "leave the rest up to God."
This faith-based approach brought her genuine happiness, which she now finds in sharing her life experiences and inspiring others. Shelley finds joy in community, storytelling, and empowering others through her wisdom.
