Sherrie Holmes Built Two Worlds for Women. Now She Has a TV Channel.
A Seattle counselor created a place for women to belong in the metaverse and a place for them to grow at home. With Bravely Living TV, both are now one tap away. We have been watching, and we are cheering.
Most people who help women find their footing do it one room at a time. Sherrie Holmes built the rooms. She is a licensed therapist in Seattle. She also founded Women’s World, an immersive community where women meet, learn and celebrate each other in the metaverse. And she runs the Bravely Living Institute for Women, where the coaching happens. This fall she added a third piece: Bravely Living TV, a channel that puts all of it on your phone.
Her own line explains how the pieces fit: “Women’s World invites women to belong. Bravely Living invites women to grow.”
The counselor behind it
Sherrie L. Holmes, LMHC, is a therapist, coach, author and trainer based in Seattle. Through Holmes Counseling she works with individuals and couples on relationship conflict, self-worth and confidence, and anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm, using evidence-based therapy and, for clients who choose it, Christian counseling. Her coaching and courses sit outside that practice, under Bravely Living. The Institute’s welcome line tells you what it is about: “Live Bravely From the Worth You Already Possess.” And, a little further down: “You don’t have to earn your worth here. Your worth has always been yours.”
Women’s World: a place to belong
Long before most businesses had heard the word “metaverse,” Sherrie was building in it. Women’s World is an immersive community for connection, creativity, wellness and growth, with live events, retreats and what it calls sisterhood spaces. Walk through it and you find FEM Global for women in leadership and entrepreneurship, the WW MetaFit Gym for movement and accountability, Sista’s Book Club, the Dreamscape Gallery, the Positive Vibes Talk Show, a Woman’s Spotlight, fashion and urban wear, and WW Magazine, whose inaugural issue arrived in summer 2026.
The centerpiece is the yearly retreat. The fourth annual Women’s World Metaverse Retreat ran November 21 to 23, 2025: three days of empowering sessions, creative showcases and interactive experiences, described as a gathering to “uplift, inspire, and connect women from around the world inside the Metaverse.” That year Sherrie opened it wider, so women could take part on a PC as well as with a VR headset, with events in the Multiverse and in Meta Horizon Worlds. Creators across the community hosted rooms of their own, including HoneyBear Katherine, who led an evening event on November 22. Fellow builders such as Paige Dansinger and Sara Mapelli Tink have celebrated the retreats and co-hosted shows about them.
The Bravely Living Method: a place to grow
Where Women’s World is about belonging, Bravely Living is about the work. Its signature program, the Bravely Living Method, is a 10-week coaching journey that moves through five stages: releasing old stories, rebuilding self-trust, setting healthy boundaries, managing emotional overwhelm and rediscovering passions. One graduate quoted by the International Business Journal put it this way: “I walk taller, speak with confidence, and no longer feel guilty for taking up space.” Another said the method “helped me reconnect with who I am.”
Bravely Living TV: every show, one tap away
The newest piece is the one that made us sit up. Bravely Living TV is a full streaming channel for personal growth, with its own tagline, “Inspire. Learn. Grow. Belong.” It installs straight from the web to a phone or computer home screen, no app store needed, and its promise is simple: “Put every show one tap away.”
Open it and you get a whole curriculum, arranged like a streaming service:
- Two Worlds. One Beautiful Journey. A personal introduction from Sherrie to Bravely Living and Women’s World. “A Place to Belong. A Space to Grow.”
- Courses: the Bravely Living Method, Overthinking Less, Living More, Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, Quieting the Inner Critic, Boundaries Without Guilt, The Unshakable Woman and Beautiful Authentic Self.
- Coaching with Sherrie: a group coaching circle for real conversations about self-trust, boundaries, overthinking, confidence, life transitions and relationships. “Come as you are.”
- Bravely Moments and The Self-Trust Pause: short pieces for a breath in the middle of the day.
- Read & Reflect: the Bravely Living Book Collection, Volume 1: The Self-Trust Journey and Volume 2: Becoming, Boundaries & Freedom.
- Inspired Bravely Living Music: original songs including “Look at Me Now,” “Mind Over Matter” and “I Already Belong.”
- Everyday Growth tips and Pause & Play games and quizzes: “Pause. Think. Play. Learn. Live Bravely.”
The channel’s closing line is the whole philosophy in nine words: “Know Yourself. Trust Yourself. Choose Yourself. Live Bravely.” A Bravely Living Store, with books, journals, workbooks, courses, music and personal coaching, is listed as coming soon.
A family that flies
The courage runs in the family. The International Business Journal notes that Sherrie’s daughter, London, is a U.S. Air Force Academy graduate training as a pilot, and that she founded Fearless Aviator, which gives young girls discovery flights, while she was still in high school. Sherrie’s work has also been featured by Woman’s Week in “Breaking Free: Sherrie Holmes Empowers Women With her Bravely Living Method.”
Why we admire it
We build apps, websites, VR worlds and video for a living, so we know how much work hides behind each of these pieces. A metaverse community that has held four annual retreats. A coaching program with a clear, humane structure. And now a TV channel with courses, a book collection, original music and well-being games, all carrying the same warm look and the same voice. Most organizations never get one of those right. Sherrie has built all three, and every one of them points women back to the same idea: you are already worth it.
If that speaks to you, start with Bravely Living TV, visit Women’s World, or reach the Institute at bravelylivinginstitute.com or sherrie@bravelylivinginstitute.com.
Sherrie, thank you for building rooms where women can breathe. Keep living bravely.
