Shelby Sacco

Shelby Sacco is a 28-year-old health, habits and mindset educator, content creator, and entrepreneur best known for her life-changing Sad to Savage method. After hitting rock bottom in 2020 – struggling with depression, disordered eating, toxic relationships, and suicidal thoughts – Shelby made a vow to save herself, not just for her, but for her siblings, especially her sisters who were struggling with their mental health too. What started as a deeply personal mission to survive and teach her siblings how to become a powerful, repeatable system has now helped millions of women transform their lives.

Shelby began sharing her Sad to Savage journey publicly in 2022, and her story quickly went viral for its honesty, relatability, and tangible impact. Since then, she has built a community of 1.7 million across platforms, grown an email list of over 88,000 subscribers, launched digital products with thousands of customers, curated multiple online courses and programs driving groundbreaking sales, and hosted her very own podcast. She is reaching millions of people monthly on social media and has the power to truly change lives. Her work has helped women across the globe build healthier habits, routines, and mindsets.

With a journalism degree from Michigan State University, Shelby blends her love of research, storytelling, and public speaking to teach in a way that sticks. She’s spent years studying the science of habits, identity change, and behavioral psychology – and just as importantly, she’s spent those years testing, trying and learning how to teach it all effectively, especially to women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or defeated.

Her mission is clear: to help women change their lives through small daily habits, empowering mindset shifts, and real, raw conversations.
