About Permission with Dr. Sherry Walling
From the publisher's feed
Permission with Dr. Sherry Walling is a podcast for founders, entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives who have done the therapy, read the books, and built the thing — and are now ready to stop living by…
rules they never agreed to. Hosted by clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, speaker and circus artist Dr. Sherry Walling, each episode is a permission slip: to work differently, rest deeply, love fully, change direction, and be more alive than your industry thinks is appropriate. Through honest conversations with founders, thinkers, and doers, Sherry goes where most business podcasts won't — into meaning and burnout, identity, pleasure, embodiment, grief, psychedelics, and the strange emptiness of getting everything you wanted and still feeling like something's missing. For anyone carrying the weight of the thing they built — and the people who love them. New episodes weekly. (Formerly ZenFounder.)
