I’ve built, outgrown, rebuilt, and reinvented more than once.
I’m Ronni Scharre—personal development mentor, business consultant, educator, and founder of The True Indigo Method.
My work grew from years of working closely with people, building businesses, navigating change, and learning that understanding yourself and trusting yourself are two different things.
Today, I help women explore their patterns, needs, and choices, and help professionals turn complicated questions into practical ways forward.
HI, I’M RONNI.
My career began in esthetics, but the questions that brought me here reach well beyond my work.
What do I actually want? Why do I keep responding this way? Am I choosing something because it fits me—or because I’ve learned to be good at it?
I’ve asked those questions while building businesses, navigating partnerships, reconsidering my direction, and learning how to have boundaries without needing everyone to agree with them.
For years, I could recognize what other people needed while still questioning whether I could trust what I needed myself.
Over the last several years, I’ve spent more time understanding my patterns, questioning expectations I had absorbed, and practicing different ways of responding.
That learning hasn’t made every decision easy. I can still feel anxious about a difficult conversation or uncertain about what comes next. But I’m learning that discomfort doesn’t automatically mean I need to abandon my choice.
That distinction shapes how I work with others. Understanding yourself matters—and so does having support while you practice living from that understanding.
True Indigo wasn’t created from a perfect plan.
It evolved with me.
My career began in esthetics. I built my first clientele inside someone else’s salon, worked across spas, salons and beauty retail, eventually opened my own spa, grew it, merged it with another business, became a partner, and later made the difficult decision to leave.
Then I started again.
True Indigo became my next chapter — first through skincare, wellness, education and a physical practice of my own. Over time, it expanded into something much bigger than what happened inside a treatment room.
Because I was changing too.
I became increasingly interested in the person underneath the business, the career, the relationships, the expectations and all of the identities we collect throughout our lives.
And eventually I had to confront that in my own life.
I realized I had created another version of success that made sense for who I had been — but didn't completely resonate with who I was becoming.
Closing the physical chapter of my business required me to do something I had spent years learning how to do:
listen to myself before I had all the answers.
I didn’t know exactly what the next version would look like. I just knew I couldn’t keep building a life around something simply because I had already invested so much into becoming it.
Closing the physical practice changed how I delivered my work. It also gave me space to bring more of my education, mentorship, consulting, and self-discovery work into the foreground.
The experience became another place to practice what I was teaching: notice what had changed, understand what mattered, make a decision, and give myself time to live into it.
More Than a Decade of Learning, Building & Evolving
My work today may look different from where I started, but none of it was wasted.
Since beginning my career in 2011, I’ve worked across beauty, wellness, education, entrepreneurship, leadership, sales, marketing and business development.
I’ve worked for other businesses, built clientele from scratch, founded businesses of my own, managed teams, navigated partnership, developed services and experiences, trained professionals, represented skincare brands, consulted within wellness businesses and rebuilt my own work more than once.
Every chapter gave me another perspective on people, business, identity and change — and I bring that collective experience into the work I do today.

None of it was as random as it felt at the time.
For years, I looked at the different chapters of my life and career as separate experiences.
Now I can see the pattern.
Before almost every meaningful change, I became aware that something wasn’t working.
I had to reflect instead of immediately trying to fix it.
I had to separate what genuinely resonated with me from what I had learned to want, tolerate or expect from myself.
I had to develop enough inner authority to make decisions without needing everyone else to understand them.
And then came the hardest part: actually integrating what I knew into the way I lived.
Eventually, I realized I had been moving through the same process again and again.
That process became The True Indigo Method — a framework for navigating change, reconnecting with yourself and creating an external life that more honestly reflects who you are internally.
What Guides My Work
I don’t believe my role is to hand you the answers to your life. Whether I’m mentoring someone personally, consulting with a business or facilitating a group, my goal is to help people see more clearly, understand what’s underneath the surface and make decisions they can actually stand behind.
Self-Trust Over Outside Approval
Guidance should help you hear yourself more clearly — not make you dependent on someone else to tell you what to do. I want you to leave our work trusting yourself more than you did when you arrived.
Whole-Person Perspective
A decision about work can also involve identity, relationships, confidence, capacity, and expectations. I make room for that context so we can understand what matters and consider a way forward that fits your actual life.
Tools, Not Rules
I love frameworks, reflective practices and self-discovery tools because they can give us language for things we already sense but haven’t been able to articulate. I use them to create awareness and conversation — never as rigid instructions for who someone should be or what they should do.
There’s more than one way to work with me.
True Indigo has evolved into an ecosystem of personal development, education, consulting and experiences — because transformation doesn’t always happen in the same setting.
Personal Development
One-on-one guidance rooted in The True Indigo Method for seasons of transition, identity shifts, self-discovery, confidence, decision-making and integration.
This work isn’t about becoming a completely different person. It’s about understanding yourself well enough to recognize what feels true — and building from there.
Business Consulting
I bring years of entrepreneurship, spa ownership, operations, marketing, client experience and business development into practical consulting for entrepreneurs, beauty professionals, spas and wellness businesses.
We can work through strategy, offers, client experience, operations, positioning, growth or the bigger question underneath all of it: Does the business you’re building still support the life you actually want?
Workshops + Group Experiences
Interactive workshops, guided circles, educational experiences, private gatherings and speaking designed to create conversation, connection and meaningful self-discovery.
Experiences can be hosted for private groups, communities, businesses, organizations and events, with topics customized to the people in the room.
The Sanctuary By True Indigo
An ongoing online space for women who want to keep reflecting, connecting, and putting what they learn into practice.
Explore The True Indigo Method at your own pace, with the option of monthly group mentorship for support applying it to everyday life.
Beyond the work…
I live in the Columbus area with my husband, Sage, and our dogs, Crew and Dorothy.
I’m curious, sensitive, and usually following a question into another book, conversation, or research rabbit hole. I’m drawn to psychology, spirituality, human behavior, and the things that help us understand experiences we haven’t quite found words for.
The Ronni Resonance podcast is one place I explore those questions out loud—through personal stories and conversations about identity, relationships, work, and change.
I’m also still practicing what I teach: respecting my capacity, having honest conversations, making room for changing needs, and allowing myself to evolve without having the entire next chapter mapped out.
That ongoing practice is part of what I bring to this work.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start listening to yourself.
Maybe you’re navigating a personal transition. Maybe your career or business doesn’t fit the way it once did. Maybe nothing is technically “wrong,” but you can feel something shifting underneath the surface.
You don’t need to know exactly where it’s leading before you begin exploring it.
