Welcome to Beyond Your Mirror
Explore. Reflect. Redefine.
You’re more than just your job title, your role, or the expectations placed on you. And I’m willing to bet that deep down (or maybe right on the surface), you know it too.
Beyond Your Mirror is a space where beautiful souls - like you - can explore all the different versions of ourselves through things we are passionate or curious about - life, leadership, wellness, spirituality, inspirational technology, or all of the above. This is a place where we can be all of who we are - where you can see yourself beyond your mirror.
Why I Created This Space
I started Beyond Your Mirror after realizing I’d been shrinking myself to fit into definitions and resumes that didn’t reflect the whole of who I am. Like many women, my voice felt forced into one dimension by my job titles, internal beliefs, and outside expectations, but I was ready to step into something bigger, something more aligned with my whole self. I didn’t want to be captured in a single narrative. I’ve got a love for holistic leadership, tech, wellness, new-age spirituality, medical discoveries, and yes, the occasional paranormal deep dive (who doesn’t love a good ghost story?).
I know others feel the same way, craving a space where they can explore, reflect, and grow—beyond the confines of their professional and personal labels.
It’s lovely to meet you! I’m Sharon Otto, the curious mind behind Beyond Your Mirror. I’ve spent my career in leadership roles, helping organizations and individuals grow, but I’ve always had a passion for exploring beyond the surface—whether through intuitive leadership, personal growth, or a touch of spirituality. With two advanced degrees in Organizational Development and Instructional Technology, and years of experience in Learning & Development, I’ve learned a thing or two about blending practicality with reflection.
I’m here not just as a guide but as someone on the same journey as you—unpacking, redefining, and embracing the messiness along the way. Whether you’re here to reflect on your leadership style, dive into wellness tips, or find a bit of inspiration to break out of your box, welcome! We’re in this together.
If you’re ready to explore unique topics, and maybe even reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been sidelined or forgotten, this newsletter is for you. Together, we’ll explore how to bring all the pieces of ourselves into harmony by simply getting curious about life.
What You’ll Find Here
Exploration: We’ll dive deep into topics like belonging, intuitive leadership, work-life integration, new age spirituality, stepping outside of the box, and personal growth, blending practical advice with a bit of whimsy and introspection.
Reflection: Expect regular opportunities to pause, reflect, and consider new perspectives. I’ll share my own stories, insights, and prompts designed to help you tune into your inner voice and explore your many layers.
Redefinition: This space is about redefining success on your terms, not anyone else’s. We’ll explore how to apply what we’ve explored and reflected on so that we may embrace change, and reconnect with the things that make us feel truly fulfilled.
Who This is For
Anyone who want to break free from the “one-size-fits-all” narrative of success.
Leaders who value emotional intelligence and intuition alongside strategy and results.
Anyone who is spiritually curious or already integrating practices like meditation, tarot, astrology or wellness rituals into their daily lives.
Those who are navigating change—whether it’s a career shift, personal transformation, or simply a desire to explore new sides of themselves.
If you’re ready to challenge the idea that you have to be just one thing—welcome. Beyond Your Mirror is here to help you explore what’s hiding beyond the surface, reflect on who you truly are, and redefine your path with clarity.
Join the Journey
Every other week, you’ll get a dose of reflection, growth, and a little bit of fun in your inbox through a newsletter and an opportunity to share with me and other subscribers via chats.
