I’m Mark A. Turnipseed—speaker, author, transformational coach, and brand creator—passionate about helping people overcome life’s hardest battles and step into the most empowered version of themselves.

​

After surviving heroin addiction, depression, and identity trauma, I rebuilt my life through Ironman triathlon, spiritual awakening, and the healing power of radical self-acceptance. My work now centers on helping others do the same—by facing their shadows, transforming shame into power, and unlocking the inner brilliance I call the “original sparkle.”

​

I coach individuals and speak to audiences on topics like mental wellness, emotional resilience, sensual embodiment, and personal liberation. But beyond that, I also build brands and businesses that embody this ethos—from wellness products to coaching platforms to podcast and content brands—all designed to help others break free and live authentically.

​

Whether I’m speaking, coaching, or building a mission-led brand, my goal is the same: to help people rewrite their story, reclaim their wholeness, and create a life of purpose and presence.

​

Let’s connect and create something transformational.
