Shelli DiGiovanni

Shelli (Shelli Jo) DiGiovanni is a Christian author, public speaker, and educator whose life’s mission is to empower others with biblical truths and practical tools to find peace with God, themselves, and others. The author of How Can I Breathe Again, Shelli draws deeply from her own life experiences to help others heal emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. Her message is rooted in grace, reminding every person she meets that they are loved and enough because of Jesus. Whether speaking from the stage or working one-on-one, she approaches every conversation with compassion, authenticity, and faith.

Before becoming a published author, Shelli built a multifaceted career as an early childhood educator, sales leader, and case manager. Her background includes leadership roles at organizations such as Eddie Bauer and The Fireside Theater, where she developed her expertise in management, communication, and mentorship. Through her work with New Beginnings, she has also helped single mothers gain confidence, develop life skills, and pursue brighter futures through education and faith-based guidance.

Shelli’s greatest joy comes from seeing transformation—when someone moves from feeling broken or overwhelmed to breathing freely again.

Grounded in faith and driven by purpose, Shelli’s journey is a testament to the healing power of hope, resilience, and God’s unconditional love.
