Hi, I'm Shereen
Hi, I'm Shereen
My story started in a broken home with big expectations. I followed all the “right” steps—college, corporate job, even a convertible by the beach—but I felt empty inside.
Then I said yes to something wildly “irrational”: stand-up comedy.
That one choice woke up my rebel and set me on a path to reinvention.
I left the 9–5, fell on my face, rebuilt from rock bottom, and became a certified life coach. I founded Awaken The Rebel to help others do the same.
Since then, I've:
Written Revolutionary Woman
Launched a podcast
Built a 7-figure brand
Shared stages with Serena Williams, Les Brown, and Prince Harry
Coached leaders from Google, Facebook, Yale, Capital One, and more
Behind the scenes, I’ve navigated burnout, debt, postpartum depression, and high-risk pregnancies. I’ve redefined success through motherhood, therapy, healing, and honoring my inner compass.
And I’ve learned:
You don’t need to chase more — you need to come home to you.
