She is not a business coach who added wellness.
She is not a wellness coach who added business.
Sherist Rodriguez is the woman who held all three — mind, body, business — as one integrated whole.
And proved it works.
With her life.
SURVIVAL
On the night of her quinceañera, her mother shot and killed her father.
Sherist was 15 years old. She stayed with the children while the adults fell apart.
That instinct — to hold things together for others while privately bleeding — would shape the next two decades of her life.
She was homeless. She was addicted. She raised her siblings. She survived sexual violence that started in childhood.
On the ACE scale — the measure social scientists use to track adverse childhood experiences — she scored a 10.
Not one. Not five. All ten.
She made a promise to God. Twice.
Once as a child hiding from her father's violence. Once as a teenager drowning in addiction.
"Get me out. And I will give my life to something bigger than myself."
She kept that promise.
Years later she found herself in the Philippines, standing in front of a crumbling children's home called the Cradle of Mary. Sister Alex, the eighty-year-old nun who ran it, looked at Sherist and told her she had been praying for someone to come and save them.
Sherist rebuilt it. She funded it. She moved the children in.
But the cost of building from survival mode was high.
In 2018, a business collapsed, a lawsuit hit, and a PTSD episode triggered by violence outside her home activated thirty years of suppressed fear. Her son Sergio, remembering she had always talked about going to Bali to heal, sent her there and took care of her business while she healed.
She went to dig through the layers.
And in the middle of that healing journey, she found herself on a rooftop, wanting to jump.
Angel's face appeared.
She came down.
She called him.
That decision is the reason the Designed for More framework exists.
She built what she needed.
Now she gives it to women who are ready.
Today Sherist coaches high-performing women who look successful on paper and feel like they're surviving their own lives. She speaks on stages about nervous system regulation, integrated leadership, and what it actually takes to build from wholeness.
She is not here to talk about transformation.
She is here to guide yours.
This is not
self-improvement.
This is a return to your original design.
Sherist didn't build this framework from a textbook. She built it because her body collapsed after years of carrying what the mind alone cannot hold.
Every modality she teaches, she lived. The nervous system regulation, the somatic healing, the identity reclamation — none of it is theory.
She is the proof.
She discovered what decades of survival had taught her body to hide:
You were not broken by what happened to you.
You were dysregulated.
Healing is not becoming someone new. It is excavating who you always were beneath everything that was never yours to carry.
- ✦When the body is restored, the identity follows.
- ✦When the identity is clear, the business aligns.
Mind. Body. Business. All of it.
That is the category. And no one else holds it with the story to prove it.
Building the Legacy.
Today Sherist is completing her certification as an NLP Master Practitioner, is an international speaker and coach, and the founder of a five-brand ecosystem that includes Pipelinr.io and WeStaff Virtual.
She is a 3x international speaker on ACEs, trauma, nervous system leadership, and the integrated entrepreneur.
She also rebuilt a children's home for more than 60 children in the Philippines.
And she is building her legacy alongside her sons Angel and Sergio.
Not handing it off. Building it with them.
You don't need another strategy.
You need someone who's been where you are.
If you've read this far, something in you already knows.
You were not designed to survive your own success. You were designed for more.
A real conversation. Not a sales call.
