Becoming Together with Sherrita Denise

Recorded live at the She Is Rooted 2026 Fall Virtual Leadership Conference The podcast is on break between seasons, but I wanted to share this one with you. This is a replay of the talk I gave at the She Is Rooted Fall Virtual Leadership Conference. Most of us are leading and serving in some capacity, in our homes, our churches, our careers, our communities. But few of us have been taught that the...

This is the final episode of Season 3, and while the season is ending, I'm excited, there's a lot coming that I have to look forward to. For as long as I can remember, when one chapter of my life ended, I was already planning the next one. This time, I'm doing something different. In just a couple of weeks, I'll be celebrating 40 years of life, and for this transition, I'm choo...

A while back, my therapist asked me to journal what a dream day would look like for me. I sat down to write it, and what I wrote seemed fine. But when I came back to it, something in me said, that's not it. I tried again, and this time I hit something I wasn't expecting. I genuinely didn't know what a dream day looked like for me anymore, because so much in me had shifted that the thin...

A lighter episode this week, no deep excavation, no heavy questions to sit with. Just an invitation. Somewhere in the middle of a season like this one, it's easy to stay entirely inward, all reflection, no motion. But becoming isn't only internal work, at some point it has to show up in your actual life. This week's challenge: try something new. Nothing big or elaborate, just something...

For a long time, I measured capacity by how much I could carry. The more I could hold without breaking, the more I believed I had. Stack it up, I'll figure it out, that's just what strong women do... right? In this episode, I talk about the difference between a life that's full and a life that's overloaded, and why real capacity isn't about how much you can hold, but how much y...

I've prided myself on two things my whole life: my will to achieve anything I set my mind to, and my ability to survive anything sent my way. This week, I go all the way back to fifteen years old, dancing to Destiny's Child's "Survivor" in my bedroom mirror, to trace how a declaration became an identity, and how that identity quietly cost me more than it ever gave me. In this...

This season, we're unwrapping what it means to be whole, walking through the framework from my debut book,  Becoming: Whole , one section at a time. Wholeness is what happens when your mind, body, and spirit stop competing and start working together. It's not a place you arrive at once, it's a way of living you practice day by day. This episode opens the season with the first step in t...

Becoming Together, Season 3, Episode 1: We're Building This is it, y'all. Season 3 is here, and this episode is a big one. I'm officially announcing my first book,  Becoming: Whole, A Guided Life Transformation Journal for the One Who Feels Called to More , and sharing the real story behind it. Two years ago, God told me to write a book. I wrote three cookbooks first, good ones, but not the one. I...

Season 2 Finale This is the final episode of Season 2, and I don't have a specific topic for you today. I just wanted to sit with you for a minute and reflect on this season of the show, and this season of my life. The theme this season has been pivots, what it actually means to make a conscious, significant change in direction when your current path no longer fits. I started this season facin...

For most of my life, I wanted the results without the process that would actually get me there. I wanted to be healed without doing the work of what broke me. I wanted the new season without grieving the old one. In this episode, I get honest about the seasons where I felt stuck in the middle of something and never arriving, and the shift in perspective that changed everything: the process isn&#39...

We talk a lot about physical rest, but what about mental rest? In this episode Sherrita Denise tackles something a lot of us are experiencing but have not fully named yet: decision fatigue. Studies suggest the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions a day. From the mundane to the meaningful, the conscious to the automatic, our brains are processing and choosing at a volume we were never designe...

The Harvest Is Inevitable We are halfway through the year and a lot of people are looking around, measuring where they are against where they thought they would be, and drawing the conclusion that they are behind. This episode is for those people. In this brief solo message, Sherrita speaks directly into the midyear pressure to perform and produce, and offers a different lens: most of the real gro...

In this episode Sherrita sits down with Heather Mylan-Mains — speaker, author, and storyteller — for one of the warmest and most honest conversations this podcast has hosted. Heather's message is simple and powerful: we are shaped not by what happens to us but by how we choose to respond. And she does not say that from a distance. She has lived it. Heather opens up about the seasons that shape...

In this episode Sherrita sits down with Nicole Hicks, biblical life coach, author, speaker, and founder of Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching, for a conversation that is honest, practical, and deeply grounded in faith. Nicole opens up about the medical crisis that cracked everything open for her, a season that took her from celebrating her birthday in New York to being wheeled into a hospital...

Some seasons produce something. Some seasons produce you. And knowing the difference changes everything about how you move through them. In this solo episode, Sherrita gets honest about the three significant life changes she is navigating all at once — a career transition, a new phase of motherhood, and changes in her body — and the question that surfaced in the middle of all of it. Not what do I...

In this grounded and expansive conversation, Sherrita sits down with Eboni Monae, a Harvard PhD candidate, scientist-artist, and woman who has learned to honor every part of who she is. From her early fascination with space to becoming a developmental neurobiologist who describes her work as art , Eboni shares how she has learned to live true, move with intention, and step boldly into the calling...

Not every pivot is one we plan. Some of them find us. And what we build in response, and how intentionally we build it, says everything about the kind of people we are and the kind of life we are committed to living.   Jess and Rob, a dynamic Husband and Wife Duo, are the founders of Signature Sudz, a plant-based household and body care brand built from all natural ingredients. What started as a l...

Hey ya'll, welcome back, and welcome to Season 2. This first episode is a solo one, just you and me, and I am getting into something that is very personal to where I am right now, and something I believe a lot of you are navigating too. It's pivot season. Not the buzzword version. The real kind, the kind that reaches into the deeper parts of your life and asks something significant of you....

If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent, this episode is for you.

I’m also sharing a personal story about the moment I realized I had to remove what no longer aligned with the lifestyle I wanted. Listen in, take the challenge for the w...

This episode is all about what happens when you decide to show up for yourself in a new way. I’m sitting down with my friend, pro figure athlete and fitness trainer Coach Q, to talk about the moment that changed everything for her, a doctor’s visit, a number on the scale she didn’t expect, and a choice to do something different. She went from 15‑minute walks to winning first place in her very firs...

Today I’m giving space to the written reflections I shared on Substack. The piece,  The Quiet Work of Becoming Nobody Talks About , walks through how I got off the struggle bus of letting everything around me, and everything going on inside me, dictate how I lived, and started choosing a more intentional way of moving through my life. There are journaling prompts if you want to sit with your own v...
