Shelly Sood

Author / Entrepreneur / Mother of 3

Six years ago, I had a picture-perfect
marriage, lived in an upper-class
neighborhood, was married to a
high-powered banking executive, and had 3
beautiful children. I was suddenly yanked
from this illusion: my loving husband – who
had suffered from undiagnosed bipolar
disorder for decades – suddenly
transformed before my eyes, filed for
divorce, and became hellbent on my
destruction. My sanity, physical health, faith
in humanity, pocketbook, and welfare of my
children and husband eroded before my
eyes. Today, I am an author, mother of 3, wife, and
an entrepreneur who launched a career in
healthcare at GIOSTAR (Global Institute of
Stem Cell Therapy and Research), and wrote
a book called Untethered on my personal
journey after saving my husband’s life. I
discovered that the fulfillment gained from
diminishing the pain of others is like nothing
else. I have 5 years of regenerative medicine
experience, over 2 decades of personal
experience with mental health disorders, 15
years of work experience and hold a BA in
Political Science and an MS from DePaul
University.
