Sherinata Pollock of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Life, Lessons & Legacy

Sherinata Pollock shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Sherinata, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What do you think is misunderstood about your business? 
After being in this business for over 10 years I realized there are 3 types of people. One, people that understand EMF radiation is a health problem and come to me for protection gear. Two, people who have no idea. And, three, the people who think it’s a conspiracy theory and it’s not science based.
There are definitely some people who misunderstand my business because when they hear “EMF protection,” they think it’s impossible for technology to be causing some kind of conspiracy theory. The truth is, I started Karelia Creations from my own life experiences, losing my husband to brain cancer and then getting my own tumor after years of living and working in heavy radiation. That’s not a theory, that’s my story.

What most people don’t realize is that the FCC safety standards we use today were set in the 1990s, based on a 220-pound test dummy, not kids or everyday real-life use. On top of that, billions are tied up in the telecom industry, so independent research is often pushed aside. Meanwhile, scientists around the world keep publishing studies showing real biological effects from EMFs.

My work isn’t about fear, it’s about prevention, awareness, and giving people tools to feel clearer, calmer, and more grounded in a digital world. I handcraft shungite jewelry not because it’s trendy, but because I’ve seen firsthand the difference EMF shielding, safety protocols and protection can make. At the end of the day, Karelia Creations is about helping people thrive in today’s tech-heavy world, even if the conversation makes some people uncomfortable.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Yes, I’d love, too! I’m Sherinata Pollock, founder of Karelia Creations, a women-owned brand that’s been handcrafting EMF protection jewelry and accessories for over 10 years. My journey started from a deeply personal place, first losing my husband, an electrician, to brain cancer in 1999, and later being diagnosed with a tumor myself, I realized how much the invisible toxic field of radiation coming from our technology impacts our health.

What makes Karelia Creations unique is that every piece blends authentic shungite with beautiful gemstones, designed not only for style but also for grounding, energy balance, and energetic protection. We’re not just making jewelry, we’re helping families live clearer, calmer, and healthier lives in a tech-saturated world.

Right now, I’m excited to focus on our best selling signature EmfShield collection for smartwatches and two new collections, Pure Radiance and Peace, that both come with a free meditation found on their listings. I am also branching out on social media, sharing my story on stages, and empowering more people to understand that protection isn’t paranoia, it’s prevention so people can live healthy in a digital age.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
One of my greatest memories of being powerful, yet one of the most challenging, was one I jad clear evidence I that my thoughts shape my reality. For some crazy reason, when I was in high school and college I attracted boyfriends who were compulsive liars. We aren’t talking little white lies, we are talking huge made up stories or cover ups for things they had done and some were VERY BAD. The situations escalated and became physically hurtful not just to myself but to others around me. Why was I attracting these types of men in my life? It didn’t make any sense because I was raised in a hard working, loving and supportive family and were taught always treat others how you want to be treated. I am a fire sign and a Sag through and through. I was always known as the girl that looked at life through rose-colored glasses, playing life full out with positivity, joy and laughter. Was I a victim of fate, attracting these types of people or could it really be the law of attraction and creating this reality by what I was thinking deep in my unconscious mind?

Like attracts like and at some point I realized that I’d rather not play victim and continue with this reality that wasn’t serving me and it was time to take control of my choices and my future. I started questioning and journaling my own beliefs, to see what story I had in me that was attracting these types of people in my life and as I took a deep dive into my heart and soul I realized that I was lying to myself about my own authenticity.

I was born with very special gifts of intuition and insight which I covered up for years and only my family and closest friends knew about. I hid these spiritual gifts because I didn’t want to be made fun of or for people to think I was “different” rather than embracing them to help others grow, heal and become more empowered. This was my light bulb moment and no sooner did I stop hiding my gifts and began embracing them, giving me more confidence and authenticity, did I start surrounding myself with amazing, trustful, loving relationships. As hard as it was to go through my earlier traumas, the experience shaped me to who I am today as I am always reframing my mind by cleaning and clearing out negative, sabotaging beliefs and patterns that hold me back so I can manifest my world based around joy, love and abundance.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Believe in yourself, speak up and live unapologetically. You are wise and truthful and there are millions of people that need to hear your stories and messages and will believe you. Always remember, if your dreams don’t scare you they aren’t big enough. You can do this because you are NEVER alone.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The biggest lie this industry tells itself to consumers is that “if it’s sold, it must be safe.” The truth is, wireless tech is a multi-billion-dollar business, and safety standards haven’t been meaningfully updated since 1996, when they were tested on a 220-lb military dummy, not women, kids, or real-life use. Consumers are smarter than the “smart” devices around them, and many are waking up to the fact that convenience doesn’t always equal health. Just because your phone, smartwatch, or WiFi router is legal to sell doesn’t mean it’s good for your body. That’s why it’s so important to take daily steps like shutting off WiFi at night, not sleeping with your phone by your head, and using shielding and protective tools to stay healthy in this digital age.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people remember me as the person that helped bring a positive impact into their life whether it was in their health, spirituality, clarity, friendships/relationships, wisdom, joy or laughter. If people remember me in their hearts with gratitude and as that woman who could help to shift one person or an entire room and make a positive ripple effect in the world then I know my job was complete on this earth.
