Are you truly stuck—or are you afraid to move forward?

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life, host Shari Leid sits down with Anne Bonney, keynote speaker and leadership consultant, for an honest conversation about fear, growth, and what it really takes to create an incredible year ahead.

Together, they explore how to recognize the difference between being stuck and being scared—and why fear is often a sign you’re standing at the edge of growth. Anne shares practical insights on how to bloom where you’re planted, even when life doesn’t look the way you expected it to.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on the year behind them with curiosity instead of judgment, let go of what no longer serves them, and intentionally prepare for the year ahead—not through rigid resolutions, but through clarity, courage, and alignment.

If you’re navigating change, reinvention, leadership challenges, or personal growth, this conversation offers grounded wisdom, real talk, and actionable perspective to help you move forward with confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to tell if you’re stuck or operating from fear

Why fear isn’t a stop sign—but a signal

What it means to bloom where you’re planted

How to reflect on the past year without regret

How to prepare for an incredible year ahead with intention

Perfect for listeners interested in personal growth, leadership development, mindset shifts, and meaningful life transitions.

What does it mean to create a container for a new year?

In this episode, I’m talking about creating a container for 2026 — the emotional, energetic, and practical structure that holds your life so growth can happen without burnout or force.

A container isn’t about goals or resolutions. It’s about the environment you’re living inside. The boundaries you set. The rhythms you keep. The support you allow. When the container is strong, clarity and momentum follow naturally.

I share how I’m thinking about my own container for 2026, why support matters more than willpower, and how designing the right structure can change how you show up in your work, relationships, and leadership.

If you’re entering a new season and want it to feel grounded, intentional, and sustainable, this episode will help you rethink what it means to hold your life well.

What does it mean to intentionally rebuild your life—and then actually move forward?

In this end-of-year episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life, I reflect on 2025 as a deliberate rebuilding year and share the top three lessons that shaped how I think about love, work, money, and self-trust. I also offer simple, practical tools—questions, mantras, and reflections—you can use to step into the new year with clarity and confidence.

Most of all, I share my excitement about what’s next.

My wish for 2026 is simple: to enter this next year together, with intention—moving from a year of rebuilding into a year of implementation.

If you’re ready to stop preparing and start living what you’ve learned, this episode is for you.

We talk a lot about bucket lists as someday dreams, but rarely about how our money actually supports the life we want to live right now. In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Sakai of One Vision Retirement to explore a different approach to financial planning, one that starts with your bucket list and works backward with intention.

Lisa shares how aligning your finances with your values can turn vague dreams into realistic plans, without fear, pressure, or perfection. We talk about why clarity matters more than complexity, how to make space for meaningful experiences, and how money can become a tool for freedom rather than stress.

This conversation is about living fully, planning wisely, and creating a future that feels intentional, not postponed.

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life – with Shari Leid, I sit down with the extraordinary Stoy Hall: financial strategist, founder, speaker, and one of the most refreshingly human voices in the world of wealth-building.

Stoy doesn’t just talk numbers. He talks meaning.

In this conversation, Stoy shares the story behind his life’s mission is to rid the world of financial illiteracy . From his early experiences that shaped his relationship with money to the powerful moment he realized everyone who has wealth, did not build alone - they had someone(s) who help them.

We explore:

* How your personal story affects your financial life more than any spreadsheet

* The mindset shifts that lead to generational change

* Stoy’s deeply personal “aha moment” that transformed the way he leads, gives, and lives

This is not a financial episode. It’s a human one. It is an episode about identity, intention, and rewriting the narratives we inherit.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from the traditional messages about money, this conversation will help you breathe deeper and dream bigger.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

In this short reflection, I share a spoken-word meditation I wrote for you: a reminder that even in years marked by loss, transitions, new beginnings, and surprise chapters, you were never empty - only unfolding. Together, we’ll revisit the moments that shaped you, honor the strength you revealed along the way, and give thanks not for what arrived, but for what awakened within you.

Whether you're celebrating with a full table or a quiet heart this year, this meditation is a grounding space to return to yourself - to gratitude, to truth, and to the reminder that everything you need has always lived inside you.

Wishing you a warm and connected Thanksgiving.

In this deeply honest and liberating conversation, I sit down with Nikki Corbett, founder of The Scarlet Edit, to explore what happens when women stop hiding the chapters of their lives they’ve been taught to feel ashamed of - and instead rewrite them with truth, compassion, and power.

Nikki shares the story behind The Scarlet Edit: how a moment meant to define her became the catalyst for a movement helping women reclaim their narratives. Together, we talk about the weight of labels, the silence women are conditioned to carry, and the freedom that comes from owning your story rather than being owned by it.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, mislabeled, or muted. It’s for every woman who’s been told who she should be - and is finally ready to decide that for herself.

Join us for a conversation that’s raw, revealing, and ultimately redemptive.

What does it really take to live a “next level” life? In this episode, Shari sits down with Alan Lazaros - speaker, coach, and co-founder of Next Level University - to unpack the habits, mindset, and connections that turn vision into reality.
