Local Mum on a Mission to Share Self-Love Skills with 1 Million Women Becomes Best-Selling Author

This summer will be one to remember for 33 year old, Chelle Shohet, mum of 1 from South Wales now living in Ashwell, Baldock who today discovered she’d penned a best-seller, as a book she co-authored went straight in at number 1 on the Amazon best seller charts in Small Business & Entrepreneurship, Business Biographies and Home Based Business separate book categories. It is also hottest new release in just about every business category.

Chelle, known as ‘The Self Love Stylist’ is on a personal mission to share her self-love skills with 1 million women by 2025, after herself suffering debilitating anxiety and depression and low self worth, following serious illness and postnatal depression that saw her go from a carefree 20 year old to someone she didn’t recognise.

Through sharing her story in ‘She Who Dares’, (already reviewed as ‘A must read for all women in business!! Showcasing the struggles behind the successes’ and ‘An incredible and inspiring read from entrepreneurial women who have let nothing stand in their way on their path to achievement! Wow!’) Chelle hopes to close the gap on the 1million figure, on her mission to make an impact on women worldwide. In the book Chelle charts the struggles she experienced, alongside revealing her insights on how she overcame such challenges, in a bid to inspire others looking to make a change in 2018.

She said: “My mission in life is to change the way every woman and girl views and treats themselves, inspiring women and girls to love themselves, and their bodies inside and out so that they can grow and flourish in a world of filters and social media by being entirely confident in their own skin.”

Chelle knows first-hand all about the effects of low self-esteem, lack of confidence and poor body image, the real results of which saw her self-harming and nearly taking her own life. She has also experienced and recovered from burnout during her time in the corporate world giving her a unique understanding of how today’s world and its unique challenges affect women, their minds, their bodies and their soul. With a background in fashion design and technology combined with personal development coaching, Chelle now supports women around the world with personal coaching and personal stylist consultancy, as well as working with women more locally on a 121 basis. Many of Chelle’s clients are successful working women who she describes as ‘swans treading water’.

She said: “I have been there, I felt stuck, worthless, dumb, disconnected, ugly, unattractive and insignificant. I had no energy or get up and go, I had very little self-respect and very little value for myself or my body. Putting myself last on the list, always caring for others or putting others and their needs ahead of my own, it was exhausting physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted and I see this now with so many of my clients”.

‘She Who Dares’ is now available now via Amazon and charts the success of 24 female entrepreneurs and their journeys. The book is also soon to be made into a paperback. Brought to life by Authors & Co, whose focus is on telling stories of those who are keen to inspire and leave a legacy, the creation of the book has been gifted to the contributors from their business mentors, the founders of Female Success Network, to celebrate the last 12 months of working together and the milestones that everyone has achieved.

Chelle set up her business, The Self Love Stylist in 2012. She said: “I created my business almost by accident, out of a necessity to pay my bills after becoming redundant at 7.5 months pregnant. I never dreamt of being an entrepreneur.”

Chelle said: “Being included in this book is a celebration for me of how far I have come, and a recognition of what can be achieved when women in business come together. I am so excited to share my story alongside these other amazing women from Female Success Network who have had my back over the last 12 months. I could not have achieved what I have this year without them. I hope we can inspire other women, who might be feeling lost and inspire them that there is a way through.”

Female Success Co-Founder Sarah Stone said: “Female Success Network attracts women from all walks of life who have dreams and aspirations but need the clarity, strategy and clear goals to make their vision take shape, un-ashamedly pursuing their version of success. When we launched a year ago we had no idea who we would be supporting but the women we have worked the most closely with, those in our Mastermind group -(a small group that taps into our weekly training, monthly strategy calls and day to day support through our private Facebook group) have inspired us just as much as we have them. This book is a thank you to them for having faith in us, for putting our teachings into practice and for celebrating the huge wins they have all achieved over the last 12 months as they have taken control of their lives and futures. Chelle is hugely inspiring and we know she is going to have a massive impact on women globally”.

Abigail Horne, book coach at Authors & Co said: “Documenting your story can be one of the most powerful things you can do, to leave your legacy and to help have an impact on others. Chelle’s story is sure to strike a chord with many other women worldwide, and I’m excited to have been able to help her share it, and achieve best-selling author status at the same time!”
