89. Shari Teigman - Away from the Safezone and into the Maverick Life

In this episode, Lance and Shari Teigman talk about stepping away from the comfort and safety of everyday life and set out on an adventure to find the maverick in us. 

Shari found herself unhappy one day despite being married, having two kids and living a Stepford Wife kind of life. Her transition from an unhappy mom to an empowered woman was not easy at first but it all came down to her choosing to start to move, walk, and dream even if she had no idea where she was going, other than the fact that she craved for change in her life. She has studied social work, art therapy, and completed a year long life coach training in Mentor Masterclass with Jeannine Yoder. She is also a certified yoga teacher and a multimedia artist who works with decoupage, mosaics and paint, interior design as well as a makeup artist. In over 2 years, she had grown her business in her own terms with her strengths and big dreams as the drivers.

Today, Shari Teigman is a mindset coach, chief instigator of change and creative business strategist. She is now hosting her own podcast “Mavericks in Motion Podcast” that has the goal of helping people find their own purpose and their inner mavericks.

Shari tells listeners: “This is how you become a maverick - you stop looking at what everyone else is doing and start looking at yourself and ask yourself everyday: how can you surpass your own achievements and competitiveness.”

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
