Chantrise Holliman, EdD

Dr. Chantrise Sims Holliman, CEO of Disturb the Universe, LLC, is an award-winning educator, author, speaker, and Resilience Strategist. Three months after her 45th birthday, she survived a widowmaker heart attack which left her partially paralyzed and a bilateral lower limb amputee. This event marked a shift in how she saw her life’s plan and purpose. Now, she helps Gen X Women develop a plan to thrive again after life’s setbacks. Dr. Holliman defines herself as Resilience Strategist and not a Resilience Coach because coaches help train others to do something. Strategists help others plan to be something. Her goal is to give her clients the tools they need to decide for themselves what thriving in their lives looks like.

Holding a Doctorate in Education from The University of West Georgia, a Master’s in Education from Georgia State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in English from Bentley University, it comes as no surprise that Dr. Chantrise has authored numerous books and other educational products. In addition to TeachStayLove: A Reflective Journal to Help You Stay in the Profession You Love and Shoes Without Feet: A Journey of Strength, Hope, Obstacles, Encouragement, and Success, Noah Had an Ark. You Need a R.A.F.T.: Resilience and Flexible Thinking, she is currently working on her fourth book, The Resilience Reset: The 7 Principles You Need to Take Back Your Life.
