From Bankruptcy to Beverly Hills: The Shelton Wilder Story
Meet Shelton Wilder — a powerhouse Los Angeles real estate agent, founder of Wilder Women Networking, and the fearless leader of a thriving all-female team. She’s a mum of two boys, proudly sober for over 15 years, and someone who has completely rebuilt her life from the ground up.
From launching a clothing line and appearing on Shark Tank to hitting rock bottom with bankruptcy and rehab, Shelton’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. She turned every setback into a stepping stone, pivoted into real estate, and became one of LA’s most successful agents — all while supporting women in business and helping communities rebuild after devastating fires.
In this episode, Shelton shares:
-
How she turned failure and loss into fuel for success
-
Lessons from building an all-female real estate team
-
Her vision for the Pacific Palisades’ recovery and future
-
The power of sobriety, resilience, and reinvention
This is a story of courage, reinvention, and rising stronger than ever — a must-listen for anyone chasing dreams, overcoming setbacks, or building their own empire.
