Shelley Boyd

Shelley Boyd is a writer, creative strategist, and co-founder of Shells & The Bear, a beloved Nashville video company known for its heartfelt storytelling and timeless designs. After years of navigating the highs and lows of creative entrepreneurship, Shelley turned to the soil—and found her way back to herself.

Today, she and her husband run Chickadee Springs Farm, a regenerative farm nestled in the hills of Tennessee, where they raise livestock, grow food, and create space for community connection. Her journey from burnout to balance is the heart of her work, both on the page and in the field.

Shelley writes with a deep reverence for rest, resilience, and the creative spirit. Whether she’s tending the garden or sharing hard-earned insights, she invites readers to slow down, root deep, and rediscover joy.
