  Episode 155: What Turning 35 Taught Me About Success, Self Worth, Love and Life

  Aug 16, 202635 minS10

  Episode 155: What Turning 35 Taught Me About Success, Self Worth, Love and Life What does it actually mean to be successful at 35? As I entered my 35th year, I had a strange few weeks where I found myself questioning my life, my choices and whether I should be further along by now. I wondered what I had to show for 35 years. And then I realised how much of that questioning came from societal expectations and my own ideas about what success is supposed to look like. Because success isn't always tangible. Neither are happiness, love, impact or the way you make another person feel. In this honest solo episode, I share the lessons I've learned through 35 years of living, losing, loving, healing, building, falling apart and beginning again. I share my lived experience around some of the biggest lessons I've had to learn: • Asking for help instead of believing I have to do everything alone • Letting go of control and learning to trust life • Dropping expectations and choosing joy • Moving my body and remembering that life is meant to be felt • Releasing the pressure to have everything figured out • Redefining what success actually means to me • Learning that what is intangible can still be incredibly real And perhaps most importantly, I want to remind you that you are not behind. Whether you're 25, 35, 45 or 65, there will be moments when you question whether you've done enough or whether you are enough. You are. Your life doesn't need to look a certain way for it to matter. Life is messy, unpredictable and sometimes incredibly hard. It is also beautiful, colourful, hilarious, heartbreaking and filled with moments of extraordinary joy. That is the polarity of being alive. You are the captain of your ship. The ocean will move regardless, but you still get to choose the direction you steer. And perhaps you won't always end up where you thought you would. But that doesn't mean you've gone wrong. This episode is an invitation to stop measuring your life against someone else's timeline, come back to yourself, and remember that life is for learning.

  Episode 154: Your Worth Is Not Your Productivity: Healing Burnout Through Self Love

  Aug 9, 202629 minS10

  Your Worth Is Not Your Productivity: Healing Burnout Through Self Love What happens when you've built a successful life but still don't feel worthy, fulfilled, or truly connected to yourself? In this powerful conversation, Sherisse is joined by author and self love coach Jasmyn Quiana to explore the deeper relationship between burnout, self worth, self love, and manifestation. Jasmyn shares her journey from working more than 60 hours a week in a high pressure corporate career to experiencing burnout so severe that she was placed on short term disability leave. That moment became a catalyst for a profound transformation and ultimately led her to develop a holistic approach to self love, embodiment, and manifestation. Together, Sherisse and Jasmyn explore why high achieving women can become so attached to productivity and achievement that they unconsciously measure their worth by what they do, rather than who they are. In this episode, we explore: ​Why achievement and productivity can become tied to self worth ​The hidden connection between burnout and a lack of self love ​What "absolute self love" really means ​How embodiment and energy work can support deeper healing ​Why manifestation isn't simply about thinking positively or wanting more ​How to reconnect with your worth beyond your career, business, success, or achievements ​Why true self love requires embracing your whole self rather than only the parts you deem successful Jasmyn also shares insights from her book, *Self-Love: The Real Secret to Manifesting Your Dream Life*, including her 12 pillars of absolute self love and the practices that helped her move from burnout into a life that feels more authentic and aligned. This conversation is especially powerful for the woman who has achieved so much, yet knows there's a deeper level of fulfilment available to her. Because your worth was never something you had to earn. You were worthy before the achievements, before the success, before the productivity, and before anyone else validated you. The real transformation begins when you finally embody that truth.

  Episode 153: Why Confidence Isn't the Answer What Women Actually Need to Feel Alive Again

  Aug 2, 202628 minS10

  Episode 153: Why Confidence Isn't the Answer What Women Actually Need to Feel Alive Again For years, I believed my work was about helping women become more confident. But recently, I've realised it's something much deeper. Confidence isn't the destination. Safety is. Because when a woman truly feels safe, she naturally becomes more confident. She stops performing. She stops proving. She stops carrying the pressure of being everything for everyone else. She begins to breathe again. In this deeply personal solo episode, I share how my own work has evolved and why I've come to believe that the greatest transformation isn't learning another strategy or collecting more personal development tools. It's creating the inner safety to finally live everything you already know. In this episode, we explore: • Why confidence is often the result of healing rather than the starting point • The hidden difference between surviving and truly feeling alive • Why so many high achieving women understand their patterns but still struggle to change them • How safety creates the foundation for confidence, self trust, and authentic expression • Why personal growth isn't about becoming someone new but remembering who you were before survival became your normal • What it really means to come home to yourself I also share why this realisation inspired me to create **From the Ashes**, a space for women who have done so much of the inner work but are ready to bridge the gap between knowing and embodying. If you've ever thought, "I've done so much healing, so why do I still feel disconnected from myself?" this episode is for you. Because perhaps the life you're longing for isn't waiting for you to become more confident. Perhaps it's waiting for you to feel safe enough to fully come alive.

  Episode 152: Menopause, Midlife & Self Worth: How Women Can Reclaim Their Power at Any Age

  Jul 26, 202654 minS10

  Episode 152: Menopause, Midlife & Self Worth: How Women Can Reclaim Their Power at Any Age What if menopause wasn't something to survive, but an invitation to rediscover yourself? In this deeply inspiring episode, Sherisse is joined by midlife and menopausal midwife Sally Berg for a powerful conversation about identity, healing, feminine power, and why the second half of a woman's life can become her most liberating chapter yet. Sally shares her own journey through trauma, depression, and profound personal transformation, revealing how discovering embodiment practices, Tantra, and nervous system healing led her to create her signature approach that helps women reconnect with themselves during midlife and menopause. Together, Sherisse and Sally challenge the cultural narrative that ageing is something to fear. Instead, they explore how this season of life can become an opportunity to reclaim confidence, pleasure, wisdom, and a deeper connection to your authentic self. In this episode, we explore: ​Why so many women lose their sense of identity during midlife and menopause ​The connection between nervous system regulation, embodiment, and emotional wellbeing ​How Western culture views ageing differently from many Indigenous traditions ​Why pleasure, movement, and self-connection are essential parts of healing ​Practical ways to create inner safety and reconnect with your body ​How menopause can become a powerful catalyst for self reclamation rather than self loss Sally also shares the philosophy behind her "Reclaim Woman" methodology and her "Mature Eros" programme, offering practical tools to help women embrace this stage of life with greater confidence, vitality, and self compassion. Whether you're approaching menopause, moving through it, or simply longing to reconnect with the woman beneath the roles you've carried for everyone else, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that it is never too late to choose yourself. Because your most powerful chapter doesn't begin when everything is perfect. It begins the moment you remember who you are. About Sally Sally Berg is a visionary trailblazing midlife & menopause mentor and embodiment coach revolutionising how women experience midlife. She is leading the menopausal pleasure revolution with her movement Mature Eros! With her unique trauma and nervous system informed Reclaimed Woman methodology, she supports women who have given everything to everyone and lost themselves in the busyness of life, become the next empowered version of themselves.

  Episode 151: "If I Don't Do It, No One Else Will" The Hidden Cost of Being the Strong One

  Jul 19, 202633 minS10

  Episode 151: "If I Don't Do It, No One Else Will" The Hidden Cost of Being the Strong One Have you ever caught yourself thinking... "If I don't do it, no one else will." At first, it sounds like responsibility. Like leadership. Like being dependable. But what if it's actually one of the biggest stories keeping you stuck? In this solo episode, Sherisse explores one of the most common patterns she sees in high achieving women. The need to hold everything together, stay in control, anticipate everyone else's needs, and carry responsibilities that were never yours to begin with. Although these behaviours are often praised, they usually come at a cost. Burnout. Resentment. Disconnection. Feeling unsupported. And quietly believing that asking for help isn't really an option. Sherisse explores how these patterns are often rooted in childhood, where being responsible, capable, or emotionally aware became a way of creating safety. The problem is that what once protected you may now be preventing you from receiving the support, love, and ease you've been longing for. In this episode, we explore: ​Why so many high achieving women struggle to let go of control ​The hidden link between people pleasing, micromanaging, and feeling responsible for everyone else ​How over-functioning keeps other people from stepping forward ​Why doing everything yourself doesn't create safety, it creates exhaustion ​The difference between healthy responsibility and survival mode ​How to begin creating space for support instead of carrying everything alone This episode is an invitation to notice where you've been equating your worth with how much you can carry. Because perhaps the strongest woman in the room isn't the one holding everything together. Perhaps she's the one who finally trusts that she doesn't have to.
