Sharon Hughes is a confidence and self-worth expert and the go-to-girl for transformational, and actionable steps to truly change. She’s the founder of Confidence Academy, Launch Your Creativity and the host of Called to Confidence podcast.

Starting in 2010, she began delivering presentations to groups of women when she founded Launch Your Creativity, entrepreneurial events. This came on the heels of her own success as an entrepreneur with an international wholesale home decor line, Pansy Cottage and Garden. Noticing there wasn’t a place for women to come together and learn from each other in a non-competitive environment, she created LYC to inspire women to pursue their dreams. 

In 2013, she realized her true passion was for leading, mentoring and encouraging women. So she took a leap of faith, closed her wholesale business, and pivoted to become a certified Life Coach. 

Fast forward a few years and she found herself at a speaker’s conference sharing her darkest secret of being drugged at a Halloween party and waking up in a garage, and the steps she used to overcome her painful past.

That was the day she knew she had to write her story of radical healing by a radical God, The Girl In The Garage: 3 Steps To Letting Go Of Your Past which became an award winning book. 

Everything about Sharon’s business has centered around helping women realize “believing a lie is just as powerful as believing the truth” and helping them step into the truth of who they are in Christ – loved, wanted and created for a purpose. 

Sharon has served hundreds of women through her live events, speaking and online courses. She knows how to connect with diverse groups of people and delivers an engaging talk that truly transforms lives. 

She added a few more certifications to her tool belt: Critical Incident Stress Debriefer/Management (CISD/CISM) and P.O.S.T. Certified Chaplain. 

She recently co-authored The Impact of Influence Volume 3: Ladies Using Their Influence To Create A Life Of Impact (March 2022)  and is working on her Holistic Biblical Counseling Certification
