Taylor Short
Coach, Trainer, Author, Speaker | Harmonious Return
Helps her clients move from feeling exhausted and overwhelmed to energized and fulfilled, without leaving their job. Having spent over 15 years climbing the corporate ladder herself, Taylor discovered a huge missing piece in Corporate America. The entire focus was on external success, but most employees were experiencing a significant internal struggle. Through her own work she learned what it really takes to balance these two and eventually left to start her own business to help people reset the way they relate to their jobs. She knows when people are fulfilled internally, they tap into an explosive goldmine of energy, passion and worth that positively impacts everything they do.

Ethan Silvera
Reiki Master • Intuitive | Intend Reiki
“The Universe we exist in is comprised of loving energy. As your Reiki Practitioner, it’s my honor to channel this energy with the sole intention to harmonize the frequency of your Higher Self. Take comfort that I’m here to hold space, have compassion and be pure love for any intentions that resonate with Your Spirit.
At a young age I felt an intense connection with the World we inhabit. This realization was the catalyst to think outside of Self-Ego. I believe it’s possible to cultivate a pure energetic, source relationship with all that surrounds us. First and foremost, this journey begins with self.
There are insurmountable distractions in our everyday life. The worst of which could be perceived as chatter in our mind. It can be said that the body/ mind is a storage facility for everything that has ever happened throughout our existence. That is why it’s vital one actively pursue any modality which enables one to cleanse and clear the energy which hampers the intention of their higher purpose.
It takes tremendous courage to face our vulnerabilities and ask for help. Your willingness to seek reclamation of Self and the power within is nothing less than perfection. I’m extremely proud of you! I would be elated and honored to support your alignment with any intention you hold. Trust that I will always be present with love and compassion.
I’ve found through Reiki the medium to help. Blessed with the gift to channel energy, together we can relieve physical pain, stymie mental anguish and create the presence of self that one needs in order to resonate at their highest frequency. Step one is saying yes to change. In a Universal moment, we can create the reality you seek.”
Tara Grainger
Mindfulness Coach • Yogi • Creatrix | Root To Rise Wellness LLC
After an extensive career in education and a life in Florida, Tara left everything in 2019 to pursue a more awakened existence. She eventually landed in Colorado, and like many, instantly fell in love with the mountains. Soon after moving, COVID struck her small mountain community, shutting down opportunities for social connection. Taking this as a sign from nature, Tara cocooned in her new environment, studying multiple disciplines of yoga, playing with art as therapy and healing, and regularly hiking and meditating in the forests surrounding her home. Little did she realize that these activities would not only support her own healing journey but soon would support others’ healing journeys in the form of mindfulness practices.
Now, through Root To Rise’s unique mindfulness practices that integrate yoga, art, and nature-based activities, Tara helps other’s – kids, adults, families, and communities – to explore the inner landscape, discovering their own unique light, gifts, and talents while also releasing trauma and developing internal resources to navigate life’s joys and challenges.

Jenn Uhen
Founder | The Pledgettes
As a mentor and advocate, The Pledgettes Founder Jenn Uhen heard from many women that they will start investing “someday,” or that growing up they were taught to save their money. They weren’t taught the benefit of “investing in themselves” or investing on their own. Jenn also saw that women who were confident and clear with their financial goals had these “right-time, right-place conversations.” Jenn had a number of those conversations and saw the impact it made her in life.
Combine these conversations with binge-watching The Handmaid’s Tale, researching the gender income and (more important) wealth gaps, and some infuriating realizations and personal experiences, Jenn knew she had to do something. Jenn built The Pledgettes to democratize access to financial literacy, build a supportive space for women to evolve their relationship with money, and create connections so no woman is going after her personal financial goals alone.
Jenn and her husband have clear financial goals, which include a diverse portfolio of investment property, retirement accounts, and businesses. All while living a minimalist (but comfortable) lifestyle, including traveling the country in an RV.
