Meet Miss Sable Stark

      Shauna Opferman, aka Sable Stark, is a speaker, survivor, mother, grandmother, wife, and advocate for resilience, hope, and living a meaningful life despite the challenges we face.

Shauna's life has been shaped by experiences that could have easily defined her—but instead, they became the foundation for the woman she is today. From enduring significant hardship and abuse during childhood to becoming independent at just 16, surviving domestic violence, experiencing profound loss, and facing some of the most frightening moments imaginable as a mother, Shauna has learned firsthand what it means to keep going when life doesn't go according to plan.

Her story isn't about having all the answers or pretending that difficult things don't hurt. It's about finding the strength to get back up, rebuilding when life falls apart, and refusing to allow circumstances to determine the rest of your story.

       Faith has become an important part of Shauna's life and perspective, particularly after years of questioning, anger, and searching for answers. But her message reaches beyond religion. At its heart, she speaks about hope, perseverance, personal growth, and the belief that it is never too late to change the direction of your life.

      Shauna is passionate about encouraging people to stop seeing themselves solely through the lens of what they've experienced. She believes our past can influence us without defining us, and that sometimes our greatest strength comes from the very places where we once felt weakest.

      Through speaking, Shauna shares her experiences honestly—with vulnerability, humor, and a healthy dose of real life. Her goal isn't to tell people how to live their lives. It's to remind them that they have more strength than they may realize, that setbacks don't have to be the end of the story, and that there is always room for hope.

      Her story is not about everything she's been through. It's about who she chose to become because of it.
