Marni speaks with professional storyteller, World-class Producer, and Founder and CEO of The Support System, Sheri Salata during this episode of the Life Check Yourself podcast. In her past life, she was the Executive Producer of the Oprah show and President of Harpo Studios. Sheri shares the keys to manifesting the life of your dreams and how to call in what is next for you from her memoir, The Beautiful No: And Other Tales of Trial, Transcendence, and Transformation.

 

Key takeaways from this episode: 

• Grieving disappointment
• Soothing the over-busy mind
• Tuning into the divine feminine
• Following spirit to discover your true purpose

 

How-to Free Yourself [3:22]

For 20-years, Sheri ran one of the most beloved brands in the world, Oprah. When the gig ended she had to strip away her identity to transform into an entrepreneur. Describing the process, Sheri says, when the thing that has defined you changes you have to decide who you are without it. It was her middle-of-life-reckoning. 

Being someone else's mother, right-hand-gal, wife, etc. is not enough. Women need to sit with themselves to discover who they want to be. It will summon you. We can all get caught up in falling apart in our own way. But our soul speaks to us. We just need to pay attention. 

To go to the next level of reckoning, Sheri placed her hands on her heart, spoke to herself in her most tender voice, and said ‘no matter what you find it will be ok’. 

Most women have no idea what kind of rut they are in, but when you turn on the lights the freedom starts to shine in. 

        

A Beautiful No [15:57]

In Sheri’s book, The Beautiful No: And Other Tales of Trial, Transcendence and Transformation she describes how all the no's she received in her life led her to the moment when the universe conspired with her. 

If you can convince yourself that every rejection, every betrayal, and every no you have received is pushing you in a different direction you become open to the greatness you deserve.

Sheri shares an example of when she got a 'no' on a job she really wanted. Shortly after,  she got a call from the Oprah show. Look back at your life and find your beautiful no's and then put your hands on your heart and be curious when something doesn't turn out the way you wanted. 

Accept what happens in life then tune into your spiritual self and await the next surprise. 

Two hacks that make it easier to accept the no’s you receive:

1. There is a grief you must allow between what you hope for and what has happened. 
2. Meditation helps. Start a breathing and mantra practice. 

 

Following Your Spirit to Find Your Purpose [26:04]

Sheri reminds us that there is no such thing as work/life balance because the concept of balance is basically to tip over and come back to center. Eliminate the words in your life that are not in your favor such as have to and no choice. 

Start listening to signals that confirm you are on your divine path in your work and finding your purpose. Sheri says she had no idea she was going to do everything she does today that drives revenue one year ago. And, to top it off, she loves everything she does. Her life is lining up as it is supposed to because she is following her spirit.  

Set yourself free in your own mind about what is possible for yourself. Stir your dream pot and tune into your divine feminine.
