Your Next Chapter

Journaling has only positive benefits because when you journal, you are connecting to your true and real self. You don’t pretend in your journals because you have no reason to put up a false façade. When you journal, you don’t have to listen to what those around you say or judge you to be. You’re in conversation with yourself and no one else. All those curtains and protections aren’t needed. Journ...

How does my heart’s desire fit with me living as my real and true self? “Your Heart’s Desire” is all about identifying what you truly desire. YOU! Not the desires that someone else has for you or what we used to say, the cool kids are doing, it’s what YOU want and that is the foundation of Being the Real You.

Many of you might be wondering well, aren’t we all being our true selves out in the world? Well actually, most people walk around pretending they are something that they are not. They might even have convinced themselves that what they pretend to be is actually true. We all know people like that, and some might even be in your family! Often, the pretending is obvious, but for others, the real pers...

I think you are starting to see a pattern here and what I want you to pay attention to is that … ideas lead to more ideas, which eventually lead to making the BIG idea happen. We need all those little ideas that feed off of each other in order to create or make those BIG ideas happen. I named my magazine Be the Real You because it became my mission that all women have the confidence to step into t...

This is Episode 28: Which I titled “I feel the earth move under my feet”, but unlike Carole King, I’m not talking about a lover the composer was writing about in her famous song. I’m talking about life changes … and specifically how change shakes up your world and feels like the earth is moving under your feet. Remember, it isn’t your BIG dream that unsettles you, it’s taking actions towards the d...

Today we're doing something a little bit different, and that is we are going to talk with Mimi Blue, who is the founder and editor of Paris-based Belle Inspiration Magazine. She talks about how she moved to Paris for love and created an entirely new business - Mimi is reinvention in action. Enjoy! 

Letting go of regrets is hard. Really hard. I struggle with letting go of regrets myself. Honestly, it requires some hard work, but the benefit is life shifting! A couple of reasons why we sometimes can’t let go of what could have been or wish had been. First, those thoughts are familiar, and we are comfortable with whatever is familiar even if it is super disempowering. And second, and much more...

Today we’re going to talk about dreaming and living BIG and why it’s easy to dream big, but so very difficult to live big. For now, let’s enter dreamland. It’s a lovely place, isn’t it? I think we all become completely jazzed seeing ourselves inside our dreams, one year, five years, even ten years from now. Dreaming Big is most often easy. It’s the Living Big that is hard. Living big requires that...

Mindset issues are untrue beliefs that disempower you. Most often these beliefs are unconscious, and unless you work with them to expose their falseness, they will guide you to make disempowering decisions and actions. Doing nothing is disempowering. Staying quiet when someone takes credit for your work is disempowering. Not asking for what you want is disempowering. If any of these sounds like yo...

The Sharri Harmel Podcast - Be the Real You! is a podcast devoted to helping women step into their dream and live lives filled with inspiration, purpose, and true joy. From ditching the corporate ladder to become an entrepreneur to simply learning to Be the Real You. It is time to stop the “someday thinking”. To discover more, go to www. SharriHarmel.com

If ditching corporate and starting something of your own is continually in your thoughts and yet you are taking no action, you first, need to identify what you are really afraid of. Peel back the onion of fear and get to what you are really, really afraid of. This means you have to be totally and completely honest with yourself and willing to almost objectively observe your deepest fears. It is th...

How many times a day or a week do you say to someone, I just don’t have enough time! How often do you say to yourself that all the projects and dreams you have would be happening, if you just had more time? What’s so interesting about time is that for day-to-day tasks, we often feel we don’t have enough time. And yet, when it comes to our dreams, we tend to think we have an infinite amount of time...

Today’s we’re talking about confidence. But what is confidence? And does it differ from self-esteem? Self-esteem is usually speaking of how we feel about ourselves, our self-worth and is about how much we like ourselves? Confidence, on the other hand, is typically connected to feelings around what we think we can achieve. Confidence is all about the doing. For women, our confidence comes from know...

I don’t know about you, but something is in the air. Everyone I speak with these days is tired of their old patterns and ready for something new. It’s like we are all little chicks, wanting to break out of our shells. I hope you’ve identified your BIG Audacious Dream for 2021. Start your own business. Get fit and healthy. Be a published author. Become financially independent. But often, nothing ha...

I don’t know about you, but this is about the time I start to question my New Year’s Resolutions- or BIG plans for the year. I am positive YOU can relate. So, how do we remain excited about the year in front of us and on track with our goals and dreams?  I’ve come up with a few ideas I’m trying out. Listen to hear them. 

Today’s conversation is about the Law of Attraction and what it means when we are trying to reorganize, reinvent, or recapture joy into our lives.  As you know, my business is all about helping women to step into their real and true selves. Stepping into the Real You requires you to make some changes, and the law of attraction will support you in making those changes. But first… You have to know w...

Today’s topic is Joy- or more specifically, how we recapture and keep joy in our lives. We all know the French phrase la Joie de Vivre or the joy of living.  But what is joy? It is when we feel very alive, happy, and hopeful.  So how do we recapture la joie de vivre back into our lives? Listen to find out...  

Yet most of us take on a belief as though it really was a truth. We’ll even stand firm that whatever we believe is a fact, and completely and totally the truth! I have to watch myself because I do this all the time. How many times does this happen? You think you know how someone else feels about you or what someone’s motives are, but it is totally based on how you are interpreting what they said o...

It is almost 2021....let’s all take a deep breath. Phew....2020 was an amazing year. We learned so much about ourselves, our partners, our friends, our careers.... how to be alone, how to be quiet, how to create boundaries. I’m sure all of you have already started to make that list of what you want to accomplish in 2021. If 2020 taught me anything, it was that I need to be more intentional. I lear...

And although this year has certainly been unusual, it brought us the gift of the time and the space to get clarity on many aspects of our lives. In all our relationships, the curtains were pulled open and suddenly we saw these relationships for what they really are. Some became closer. Some revealed flaws that we couldn’t accept. And others, that we thought were close (friends and family alike) we...

We are women and therefore to connect with our REAL selves, we must embrace our femininity rather than hide it or only let it be seen on special occasions. Given French women are portrayed as the ultimate of femininity, I think this contributes greatly to our Francophile obsession.  Maybe it reflects our deep desire to be feminine again.

You might be wondering how a fitness tracker relates to embracing the REAL you or creating your Life Reimagined. Well, let me begin by saying there are all kinds of fitness. Fitness of the mind is called Mindset. Fitness of your business is called profitability. Fitness of the emotional self is truly the barometer of whether or not you have connected with the Real YOU!

That first visit to Paris began a mindset shift I have never before experienced. With each visit back to Paris, that shift was reinforced until I realized that the city of Paris actually taught me that I needed to love me before anyone else ever could love me back. So, what was that mindset shift? Paris helped me to gain a new mindset about how I thought about myself, my current life and my future...

What are possibilities? Are they just dreams or ideas or even fantasies of how life would be if certain events happen? Possibilities by definition, have to be possible.  Therefore, Possibilities require a process - and that process is what will help you to see and feel the likelihood of the possibility as well as whether or not it fits with your life goals. It is the process that will help you to...

Just like stretching our bodies- especially if we are out of shape - at first, it feels like progress is non-existent, and then a month goes by, and we suddenly notice we feel a little different! The hamstring stretch gets a little deeper, the hip flexor a little looser…. Well, our own life stretches are just like that.
