As a business development officer, Shellie leverages her position and network to strengthen business owners. Her Spared Change moment reminds us to:

• Surround yourself with vetted experts;

• Embrace the journey and accept the losses

Most importantly, she reminds us to measure the impact and remember the benefits.

Shellie Berry works as a business development officer for Gateway Bank in Mesa. She’s been there almost four years. Previously, Shellie created her own for-profit business from dream to reality, but sadly, those doors closed because of the Great Recession. Today, as an officer for an award-winning community bank, Shellie builds trusting relationships with small business owners. She helps these businesses grow by patiently offering banking consultation - with a creative and flexible approach to lending. Her burning desire is for small business owners to have the banking experience she wishes she had when she owned her business.

2021 was one for the books. In a season of business growth, I also experienced some of the growing pains and trauma that business ownership brought. If you are reliving the trauma of your past, learn to:

• Recognize when you are reliving the trauma.
• Talk thru the trauma to understand where you’re stuck.
• Create a new narrative.

Take a listen, and let me know what you think. Recognize what type of support you need and get the assistance that you may need to get unstuck. This is in no way meant to replace treatment that a counselor or an experienced licensed therapist may provide.

Welcome to the Spared Change Podcast. I kick off the podcast by sharing how important it is to pause when you are going through some crazy season of change in your life. Pausing gives you:

• Time to reflect on what has happened and how your life is about to change.
• The opportunity to plan ahead.
• Time to focus on self-care and what you may need to get through this season.

Take a listen. Let me know how pausing has assisted you during the turbulent seasons of your life, leading to spared change.
