    Releasing the Survivor

    I've prided myself on two things my whole life: my will to achieve anything I set my mind to, and my ability to survive anything sent my way. This week, I go all the way back to fifteen years old, dancing to Destiny's Child's "Survivor" in my bedroom mirror, to trace how a declaration became an identity, and how that identity quietly cost me more than it ever gave me. In this episode, I get honest about what surviving actually builds in a person, hypervigilance, avoidance, a body that never fully rests, and what happens when the need to grow finally outweighs the need to survive. Releasing an identity you've built your whole life on isn't instant. I talk through what that tension actually feels like, and why deciding something needs to go is not the same as letting it go. This is week two of walking through my upcoming book, Becoming: Whole, section by section. Last week was Uncovering. This week, Releasing. Next week, we move into Renewing. A few things to sit with this week, write them down, pray on them, and take one honest step: What is one area of your life where you're experiencing tension between who you are and who you need to become?What exactly must you release to be made whole?What will it cost you if you don't release it?What is one thing you can do today to take one step toward releasing the thing you were never meant to carry?Becoming: Whole releases September 15th and is available for pre-order now at becoming2gether.com. If you missed last week's episode on Uncovering, go back and listen before this one, each week builds on the last.

    Unpacking Wholeness

    This season, we're unwrapping what it means to be whole, walking through the framework from my debut book, Becoming: Whole, one section at a time. Wholeness is what happens when your mind, body, and spirit stop competing and start working together. It's not a place you arrive at once, it's a way of living you practice day by day. This episode opens the season with the first step in that process: Uncovering. Before anything can be released, renewed, or rebuilt, it has to be named. In this episode, I talk about avoidance as a strategy the mind builds early, often without your permission, and how what goes unaddressed doesn't disappear, it just relocates, into the body, into your relationships, into the decisions you make without realizing why. I close with three questions to guide you into your own journaling time: What is one thing you've been carrying that you've never said out loud, not even to yourself?Where did that thing first take root?What is one honest sentence you can write today that finally puts words to what you've been avoiding?If you have a copy of Becoming: Whole, this episode pairs with The Photograph activity and eight additional journaling prompts inside the book. Grab your copy at becoming2gether.com or on Amazon. Next episode, we sit with Releasing what you've named. Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio so you don't miss it.

    Called to More

    Becoming Together, Season 3, Episode 1: We're Building This is it, y'all. Season 3 is here, and this episode is a big one. I'm officially announcing my first book, Becoming: Whole, A Guided Life Transformation Journal for the One Who Feels Called to More, and sharing the real story behind it. Two years ago, God told me to write a book. I wrote three cookbooks first, good ones, but not the one. It wasn't until I surrendered to a season of radical transformation that I understood what He'd actually been asking for, and found the entire framework already written in the pages of my own journal. In this episode, I talk about: What led me to finally write the book God had been calling me toWhy Becoming: Whole isn't a gratitude journal or a devotional, and what it actually isThe real question behind purpose: not whether you have something to offer the world, but who you need to become to walk fully in itCalled to Become, the new community I built for women stewarding a Spirit-led call to serve, build, create, and leadMy first live event, a free journaling workshop, September 10th at 7 PM CSTPre-order Becoming: Whole today at https://becoming2gether.com/b/WuUPE and get the complete first chapter, Uncovering, delivered immediately, so you can start the work before your copy even arrives.

    The Recipe for Resilience

    Season 2 Finale This is the final episode of Season 2, and I don't have a specific topic for you today. I just wanted to sit with you for a minute and reflect on this season of the show, and this season of my life. The theme this season has been pivots, what it actually means to make a conscious, significant change in direction when your current path no longer fits. I started this season facing my own set of pivots, in my career, my wellbeing, and who I needed to become for what's next. The mindset I came into this season with pales in comparison to where I am now. In this episode, I get personal. I talk about my grandmother Flora, who raised me and became my everything, and what it meant to lose her at fourteen. I talk about becoming a mother at fifteen, and the day my daughter's father was murdered when I was nineteen. I talk about the words my mother Sharon spoke to me in the middle of that grief, words that stung at the time and have carried me through every dark season since. If you've ever needed to hear that you can bend without breaking, this one's for you. Season 3 starts soon, and I've got some announcements coming that I don't want you to miss.

    The Beauty of Process

    For most of my life, I wanted the results without the process that would actually get me there. I wanted to be healed without doing the work of what broke me. I wanted the new season without grieving the old one. In this episode, I get honest about the seasons where I felt stuck in the middle of something and never arriving, and the shift in perspective that changed everything: the process isn't a delay before the good part starts. It is where the becoming actually happens. I talk through Philippians 4:11–13, the verse everyone quotes without the context that makes it mean something, what contentment actually is (and isn't), and three shifts that have helped me stop measuring my life by outcomes alone. If you've ever felt like you're behind, stuck, or still in the middle of something you thought would be finished by now, this one's for you. Full reflection and journal prompts up on Substack this Sunday: becomingtogether.substack.com

    DND: Your Mind Needs It Too

    We talk a lot about physical rest, but what about mental rest? In this episode Sherrita Denise tackles something a lot of us are experiencing but have not fully named yet: decision fatigue. Studies suggest the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions a day. From the mundane to the meaningful, the conscious to the automatic, our brains are processing and choosing at a volume we were never designed to sustain long term. And when you layer on top of that the weight of building something, stewarding a purpose, and managing the full requirements of daily life, the mind eventually hits a wall. This episode names what that wall is, what it costs you, and what Sherrita does personally to preserve her clarity and stay connected to her source, including the three scriptures she returns to every time the pressure gets loud. Short, honest, and exactly what you need to hear this week. This week's invitation:What would it look like to give yourself permission to go on a mental DND?

    The Harvest Is Inevitable: You Are Further Along Than You Think

    The Harvest Is Inevitable We are halfway through the year and a lot of people are looking around, measuring where they are against where they thought they would be, and drawing the conclusion that they are behind. This episode is for those people. In this brief solo message, Sherrita speaks directly into the midyear pressure to perform and produce, and offers a different lens: most of the real growth that has happened in the last six months is not visible yet, and that does not mean it is not real. Drawing from Galatians 6, she unpacks what it means to trust the inner work even when the outer fruit has not appeared, and leaves listeners with one honest question to sit with this week. If you have been doing the work within, the harvest is coming. You do not have to force it. You just have to stay rooted and keep building. This week's meditation question:What has the first half of this year cultivated within you that you have been too busy or distracted to notice?

    Lace Up Your Boots: Mindset, Resilience, Faith, and Refusing to Quit with Jolanda Monique Brown

    In this episode, Sherrita sits down with longtime family friend Jolanda Monique Brown, mental health professional, published author of fifteen-plus books, and founder of Jolanda Monique Enterprises and Jojo's Healing Hands Counseling Center. Sherrita and Jolanda go back nearly twenty-four years, and this conversation reveals a side of Jolanda that even those closest to her don't always get to see. Jolanda opens up about her upbringing, the mentors who shaped her, and the health battles she's navigated for nearly a decade, including Crohn's disease, lupus, and a near-fatal infection that required emergency surgery just three weeks before she completed grad school. She shares how she's learned to shift her mindset, set boundaries, prioritize rest, and keep moving even on the days her body wants to quit. This episode also covers her journey into mental health counseling, the mindset work she does with her clients, the legacy of her late Aunt Beecher, and the memoir she's currently writing, one that's forcing her to revisit forty-three years of a story she's never fully told.
