How to Do It Scared (and Still Succeed) with Sherri Shepherd


Listen Later

If you've ever felt knocked down, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward, this is the conversation you need.

Because Sherri Shepherd has lived through more “start from scratch” moments than most people will ever face.

You know her as the Emmy-winning host of “The Sherri Show”, a beloved comedian, actress, and now author of the beautiful children’s book “The Sunshine Queens,”  but the road that got her here is nothing like you’d expect.

Before the success came chapters full of struggle: losing jobs, sleeping in her car, getting arrested, surviving heartbreak, and fighting for her son’s life in the NICU. 

And through all of it, she found a way to keep her humor, her faith, and her belief that better days were still ahead.

This is Sherri like you’ve never heard her: honest, hilarious, vulnerable, and unbelievably wise.


In this conversation, you’ll hear:

-why she says “I wasn’t supposed to be on Friends” and the real story behind her breakout role

-the moment she fell in love with comedy and why it happened in the middle of chaos

-the life-changing lessons she learned from Barbara Walters

-what happened the day doctors told her to say goodbye to her newborn son

-how she rebuilt her life after hitting rock bottom

-the advice she wants every young woman to hear


This episode is a reminder that the strength you’re looking for often shows up in the moments you least expect.


If you’re navigating a transition, a setback, or a chapter that feels uncertain, Sherri’s story will give you the hope, clarity, and courage you need.
