The Tortoise with Brooke McAlary

Sheri Salata on embracing the beauty of No


Listen Later

Today’s episode features the powerhouse that is Sheri Salata - creator of The Pillar Life.com and The Sheri and Nancy Show and author of The Beautiful No.

Brooke was lucky enough to meet Sheri in person in LA during her book tour, and we’re thrilled we’ve finally had the opportunity to have her on the show. She and Brooke chat about her journey from executive producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show to where she is now, her approach to slowing down, spirituality, the second half of life and more.

Questions featured in this episode:

  1. You've changed your life significantly over the past few years - what was the catalyst for those changes?
  2. You talk about going through a process of 'reckoning'. What did your reckoning look like?
  3. How do you balance finding joy in the present moment and working towards your big life goals?
  4. Do you think we need to reach a crisis point in order to reevaluate our lives? Or is there a way of manufacturing that awakening without hitting rock bottom?
  5. How did you learn to make ‘no’ a part of your vocabulary?
  6. What can people do to start this process of reevaluation, excavation and reinvention in their own lives?
