EP5: Break Shit, Build The Ego

You’re going a mile a minute, everything around you is falling apart, and balls are dropping left, right, and center - sound familiar?

It’s incredibly easy to get swept up in the heat of things around you. That is why in this episode, Sherrell gets real and vulnerable with you by sharing the days and moments where she got things utterly wrong and shows you that sometimes slowing down can be the biggest thing that protects us from ourselves.

It’s time we started stepping away from the 24/7 hustle culture, embracing our seasons of rest, and ultimately trusting that things will work out in the end.

KEY POINTS:

How slowing down protects you from yourself

The moment everything starts falling apart around you

Rejecting hustle culture and embracing rest

Trust that everything is going to work out for you

QUOTABLES:

“When things are collapsing, slowing down is sometimes the best remedy.”

EP7: The ONE Thing I Did Right Was Allow Myself To Constantly Redefine My Version of Success

Sherrell often asks her guests what they think they have gotten right on their path to entrepreneurship. But today, she reflects on this query in her own journey, sharing what she thinks she is getting right and how taking a step back is actually what got her there.

So if you are a relentless entrepreneur on that hustle treadmill, just as Sherrell once was, be sure to listen in and start asking yourself: Who do I want to become? How do I want to work? And most importantly, how do I want to LIVE?!

KEY POINTS:

How do you define success?

Is your sense of worth defined by what you can accomplish?

What does it mean to “work smarter?”

Creating a life of intention while still honoring your business

QUOTABLES:

“My personal sense of value and contribution came by what I could actually produce. And even telling you all this now, it's really hard to think about because it seems absolutely absurd.”

“It has been 100% important for us to continuously build out a space and an environment where we can do our best work. But it does not cloud our sense that we still have to live lives as human beings.”
