Becoming Together with Sherrita Denise

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 God placed on her life.

Together, they explore identity, purpose, faith, and the future of work in the age of AI. Eboni opens up about navigating elite academic spaces, the pressure to perform, and the spiritual practices that keep her steady. The conversation also naturally weaves into the transformative practice of reflective journaling, which both women use as a tool for clarity, honesty, and spiritual alignment.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, check in with yourself, and consider what it means to live in alignment with who you were created to be.

Reflective Journaling Resources

This episode touches on the deeper practice of reflective journaling, not just writing down your thoughts, but slowing down enough to notice what’s happening within you and allowing God to meet you there.

Final Reflection

This episode is a reminder that becoming is not about striving it’s about alignment. It’s about honoring the fullness of who you are, trusting the path God is shaping in you, and releasing anything that requires you to shrink. Eboni’s story shows that sometimes the difficulty of the path is the clearest sign that you are blazing a trail that has never existed before.

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 laundry service was forced into a pivot by COVID. What they built out of that moment is a brand that takes both your health and their craft completely seriously, and they don’t play about either one.

In this episode:

•       The COVID pivot that nearly cost them everything and launched Signature Suds

•       Why they committed to fully plant-based ingredients from the very beginning

•       What the research says about traditional cleaning products and women's health

•       The real connection between household chemicals and hormonal health

•       How every product is built from raw ingredients from scratch with zero shortcuts

•       Why staying agile and intentional is what builds something lasting

•       How to start transitioning your home to cleaner products without overwhelming yourself

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 first competition, and her journey is a reminder that real transformation starts in the mind long before it shows up in the mirror.

We talk about discipline, mindset, faith, accountability, and what it looks like to build a healthier relationship with movement at any age. Coach Q brings wisdom, humor, and a whole lot of truth, and I think you’ll feel that same spark she gives everyone who crosses her path.

A diagnosis can change your life, but it doesn’t get to define it.

In this episode of Becoming Together, I sit down with Monique Pearson, Best Selling Author, Mindset Coach, and CEO of Soaring Without Limits Enterprise.

Monique shares her personal story of what it has looked like to live and thrive after receiving a life-changing health diagnosis. We talk honestly about identity shifts, resilience, faith, and the daily choices that support long-term wellbeing.

I’m deeply inspired by Monique’s courage, tenacity, and most of all her heart for serving women living with autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. Through empowerment-centered storytelling and community healing, she creates space for women to feel seen, supported, and strengthened.

This conversation is rooted in transparency, reflection, real life and the courage to keep showing up for your life.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by a label, this episode is for you.

What does holistic wellness really mean, especially when weight loss, gut health, and GLP-1 medications are part of the conversation?

In this episode of Becoming Together, I’m joined by my friend Rebekah Bogan, an Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse, Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and the founder of Essential Integrative Health and Wellness for an honest, conversation about wellness that looks at the whole-person.

We talk about weight loss through a holistic lens, the role gut health plays in how our bodies function, and where GLP-1 medications can fit into a broader lifestyle approach.

This is not a pro or anti medication conversation. It’s a realistic, educational, and compassionate discussion about support, sustainability, and personal responsibility in caring for our health.

We unpack:

• What holistic care actually considers (and what it doesn’t ignore)

• How gut health impacts weight, and overall wellbeing

• What GLP-1 medications can support, and what they can’t replace

• Why long-term wellness still comes back to habits, awareness, and lifestyle

If you’ve been curious, confused, or quietly wondering how all of this fits together, this episode brings clarity.

Continue the conversation, over on the Becoming Together Substack blog, where I share deeper reflections and create space for dialogue.
