Shellyville was created out of the wisdom and the crazy that is my life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. In the last 11 years I have considered myself an expert, but it is not just my education that makes me an expert, it is growing up in my big Italian family. I am the 9th child out of 10.

This is my story, my journey and how I learned to find the fun in my family's dysfunction. I have always said I make crazy look good, now I hope my podcast can make it sound good too.
