About Me
I’m Carmen Schreffler, a Cornell-certified marketing strategist, founder of Wildpreneur, and creative business designer. I help purpose-driven entrepreneurs build thriving businesses rooted in integrity and aligned with their unique vision.
My work is rooted in a tapestry of experiences—guiding strategy as Marketing Director for Martha Beck, Inc., weaving storytelling and strategy as a certified StoryBrand Guide, and crafting creative solutions as a business design consultant.
At the heart of my approach lies a deep connection to nature—its cycles, resilience, and wild unfolding. With over a decade of experience in business strategy and creative coaching, I specialize in guiding entrepreneurs through transitions, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.
Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania, I share my days with a lively crew of pups and cats, tending a native garden, hiking, reading, and embracing the quiet adventure of everyday life. Explore more of my work on my website and connect with me on Instagram.

Community Guidelines for Our Gatherings
I want to take a moment to share our Community Guidelines. These guidelines help us intentionally set the container for our time together—both in live gatherings and in any online spaces we share.
Creating a Safe Space: This is a space for exploration and connection. Let’s honor the vulnerability it takes to share by practicing kindness, respect, and confidentiality. What’s shared here stays here.
Share, Don’t Coach: Your insights and experiences are valuable, and sharing them is encouraged. However, unless someone explicitly asks, this is not a space for offering advice, coaching, or teaching others. Let’s allow everyone to engage with their own journey in their own way.
Listen Fully: Sometimes, the most powerful support we can offer is simply listening. Let’s be present with one another and hold space for everyone’s voice.
Take What Resonates: This is an open, creative space. You’re welcome to take what resonates with you and leave the rest.
These guidelines are here to ensure we all feel comfortable and supported in this space. Thank you for helping make this a welcoming and enriching experience for everyone.
