Becoming Together with Sherrita Denise

Blazing Trails, Living True & Becoming Who You Were Called to Be With Eboni Monae

In this grounded and expansive conversation, Sherrita sits down with Eboni Monae, a Harvard PhD candidate, scientist-artist, and woman who has learned to honor every part of who she is. From her early fascination with space to becoming a developmental neurobiologist who describes her work as art, Eboni shares how she has learned to live true, move with intention, and step boldly into the calling God placed on her life. Together, they explore identity, purpose, faith, and the future of work in the age of AI. Eboni opens up about navigating elite academic spaces, the pressure to perform, and the spiritual practices that keep her steady. The conversation also naturally weaves into the transformative practice of reflective journaling, which both women use as a tool for clarity, honesty, and spiritual alignment. This episode is an invitation to slow down, check in with yourself, and consider what it means to live in alignment with who you were created to be. Reflective Journaling Resources This episode touches on the deeper practice of reflective journaling, not just writing down your thoughts, but slowing down enough to notice what’s happening within you and allowing God to meet you there. If you want to explore this practice further: Read the Reflective Journaling Article on Substack: becomingtogether.substack.com [becomingtogether.substack.com ] Join the Live Reflective Journaling Workshop A guided, real-time reflective journaling experience onWednesday, May 27th at 7 PM CST Reserve Your Seat At: becoming2gether.com/events [becoming2gether.com/events ] This one-hour experience is designed to help you slow down, go inward, and hear what God is speaking in this season of your becoming. Final Reflection This episode is a reminder that becoming is not about striving it’s about alignment. It’s about honoring the fullness of who you are, trusting the path God is shaping in you, and releasing anything that requires you to shrink. Eboni’s story shows that sometimes the difficulty of the path is the clearest sign that you are blazing a trail that has never existed before.

Sudz. Pivots & Purpose: With Jess & Rob of Signature Sudz

Not every pivot is one we plan. Some of them find us. And what we build in response, and how intentionally we build it, says everything about the kind of people we are and the kind of life we are committed to living.   Jess and Rob, a dynamic Husband and Wife Duo, are the founders of Signature Sudz, a plant-based household and body care brand built from all natural ingredients. What started as a laundry service was forced into a pivot by COVID. What they built out of that moment is a brand that takes both your health and their craft completely seriously, and they don’t play about either one.   In this episode: •       The COVID pivot that nearly cost them everything and launched Signature Suds •       Why they committed to fully plant-based ingredients from the very beginning •       What the research says about traditional cleaning products and women's health •       The real connection between household chemicals and hormonal health •       How every product is built from raw ingredients from scratch with zero shortcuts •       Why staying agile and intentional is what builds something lasting •       How to start transitioning your home to cleaner products without overwhelming yourself   Connect with Signature Suds: Shop: signaturesudz.com  [https://www.signaturesudz.com/]— ships nationwide Houston: Farmers markets + Central City Co-op in the Heights (Harvard & Aurora, open Tue–Sun) Instagram | TikTok | YouTube: Signature Sudz   Reflection Prompt: Where in your life are you being asked to pivot right now, and are you responding with intention or waiting for perfect conditions that may never come?   Connect with Becoming Together Online: Subscribe to the Becoming Together Blog on Substack [https://becomingtogether.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips] Follow Us on Instagram: @becoming2gether [https://www.instagram.com/becoming2gether/]

It's Pivot Season

Hey ya'll, welcome back, and welcome to Season 2. This first episode is a solo one, just you and me, and I am getting into something that is very personal to where I am right now, and something I believe a lot of you are navigating too. It's pivot season. Not the buzzword version. The real kind, the kind that reaches into the deeper parts of your life and asks something significant of you. In this episode I am opening up about the quiet, reflective season I walked through earlier this year, the revelation I had sitting in my therapist's office that I was standing at the edge of yet another pivot, and the series of life changes I am currently navigating all at once, in motherhood, career, health, identity, and mindset. I also get into what a pivot actually is, why so many of us are in one right now whether we have named it or not, and why I believe embracing it, as uncomfortable as it is, is the most courageous thing we can do. In this episode we cover: — What it really means to live differently from the inside out, The therapy question that stopped me in my tracks and led me to the two questions I believe are at the center of a lot of our minds right now, Why the world we are living in is demanding a pivot from so many of us simultaneously, The pivots that have most defined my life and what each one taught me, The multiple pivots I am personally navigating right now, What is ahead for Season 2 and the conversations coming your way Mentioned in this episode: 📖 Read the full Substack article, It's Pivot Season, with journal prompts at becomingtogether.substack.com 🎙️ Subscribe to the Becoming Together Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss an episode Connect with Sherrita: Substack: becomingtogether.substack.com Instagram: @sherritadenise and at @becoming2gether If this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating or review and pass it along to a woman who needs to hear it.

Creating an Environment for Consistency

If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why willpower fades, why motivation isn’t enough, and how preparing your environment can make consistency feel natural instead of forced. I’m also sharing a personal story about the moment I realized I had to remove what no longer aligned with the lifestyle I wanted. Listen in, take the challenge for the week, and then meet me on Substack (becomingtogether.substack.com [https://becomingtogether.substack.com]) for guided journal prompts to help you put this into practice. b

Get Moving W/ Coach Q

This episode is all about what happens when you decide to show up for yourself in a new way. I’m sitting down with my friend, pro figure athlete and fitness trainer Coach Q, to talk about the moment that changed everything for her, a doctor’s visit, a number on the scale she didn’t expect, and a choice to do something different. She went from 15‑minute walks to winning first place in her very first competition, and her journey is a reminder that real transformation starts in the mind long before it shows up in the mirror. We talk about discipline, mindset, faith, accountability, and what it looks like to build a healthier relationship with movement at any age. Coach Q brings wisdom, humor, and a whole lot of truth, and I think you’ll feel that same spark she gives everyone who crosses her path.
