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

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.

Unwrapping Forgiveness & Choosing Peace with Heather Mylan-Mains

In this episode Sherrita sits down with Heather Mylan-Mains — speaker, author, and storyteller — for one of the warmest and most honest conversations this podcast has hosted. Heather's message is simple and powerful: we are shaped not by what happens to us but by how we choose to respond. And she does not say that from a distance. She has lived it. Heather opens up about the seasons that shaped her, divorce, widowhood, single motherhood, a traumatic brain injury, and more, and shares how walking through those experiences taught her that she was always more in control of her life than she realized. What followed was a journey into forgiveness, gratitude, and the kind of peace that does not depend on circumstances changing. Her upcoming book Unwrapping Forgiveness — The Gift of Mercy and Grace walks readers through a seven step framework from pain toward peace. This conversation is a beautiful preview of what is inside.

Faith is a Lifestyle with Nicole Hicks

In this episode Sherrita sits down with Nicole Hicks, biblical life coach, author, speaker, and founder of Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching, for a conversation that is honest, practical, and deeply grounded in faith. Nicole opens up about the medical crisis that cracked everything open for her, a season that took her from celebrating her birthday in New York to being wheeled into a hospital the very next day, telling her husband to take care of their daughter. What followed was a year of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and a cancer scare. And through all of it, a revelation that would change everything. Faith is not a trend. It is not a vibe. It is a lifestyle. In this conversation Nicole and Sherrita go deep on what it actually looks like to trust God when everything is shifting, when your timeline does not match His, when He is not moving the way you expected, and when the people closest to you cannot understand the changes happening inside of you.

Some Seasons Produce You: Getting Still Enough to Receive It

Some seasons produce something. Some seasons produce you. And knowing the difference changes everything about how you move through them. In this solo episode, Sherrita gets honest about the three significant life changes she is navigating all at once — a career transition, a new phase of motherhood, and changes in her body — and the question that surfaced in the middle of all of it. Not what do I need to do in this season. But who do I need to become to carry what it requires. She shares why that question is harder than it sounds, what she did when she had no blueprint to follow, and the five practices that are helping her get still and practice presence in the middle of a full and demanding life. In this episode: * The difference between seasons that produce something and seasons that produce you * Why so many of us get stuck at the identity question — and what to do instead * The role of therapy and community in navigating seasons of transition * Why stillness is a form of resistance — not a luxury * Five practices for anchoring yourself when life will not slow down The Five Practices: 1. Anchor your morning with stillness 2. Guard your gates 3. Create moments of solitude in nature 4. Clear the deck 5. Practice reflective journaling Journal Prompts from this episode: 01 — What transition are you currently walking through — and are you making intentional choices inside of it or just getting through each day? 02 — What are you giving your attention to right now that is making it harder to hear yourself clearly? What would it look like to pull back from even one of those things this week? 03 — What would change in your life if you stopped just getting through this season and started asking what it is trying to build in you?
