Hello! I'm Shell Vera, the founder of The Essential Creative. This community is the passion project that compliments my full-time business as a voice discovery coach and writer for aspiring authors, speakers, musicians, business owners, coaches, and ministers. Helping people understand how to excel creatively so they can live a faith-filled, fulfilled, and authentic life gets me out of bed in the morning.

As an essential oil enthusiast, I add a touch of essential oil education and DIY activities so you enjoy a toxin-free environment while growing creatively. Since we are a community, if you would like to guest post, please reach out! All creatives are welcome.
I hope you enjoy the blog and find it helpful for your own growth as a creative. If you need help in a service I offer, connect with me via my website (www.ShellVera.com) and I will get back to you.
