Becoming Together with Sherrita Denise

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 wayMentioned 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 episodeConnect with Sherrita:Substack: becomingtogether.substack.com Instagram: @sherritadenise and at @becoming2getherIf this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating or review and pass it along to a woman who needs to hear it.

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) for guided journal prompts to help you put this into practice. b

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.If this conversation encourages you, make sure you’re subscribed to the Becoming Together Substack where I share weekly reflections, tools, and resources to support your wellness journey: becomingtogether.substack.com.

Today I’m giving space to the written reflections I shared on Substack. The piece, The Quiet Work of Becoming Nobody Talks About, walks through how I got off the struggle bus of letting everything around me, and everything going on inside me, dictate how I lived, and started choosing a more intentional way of moving through my life. There are journaling prompts if you want to sit with your own version of that shift. The next guest conversation is coming soon, but today felt like the right day to slow down.If you’re already subscribed to the Becoming Together Newsletter on Substack then the article, should already be sitting in your inbox.

Today I’m popping in with a quick check‑in from this cold winter week.

A diagnosis can change your life, but it doesn’t get to define it.In this episode of Becoming Together, I sit down with Monique Pearson, Best Selling Author, Mindset Coach, and CEO of Soaring Without Limits Enterprise.Monique shares her personal story of what it has looked like to live and thrive after receiving a life-changing health diagnosis. We talk honestly about identity shifts, resilience, faith, and the daily choices that support long-term wellbeing.I’m deeply inspired by Monique’s courage, tenacity, and most of all her heart for serving women living with autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. Through empowerment-centered storytelling and community healing, she creates space for women to feel seen, supported, and strengthened.This conversation is rooted in transparency, reflection, real life and the courage to keep showing up for your life.If you’ve ever felt boxed in by a label, this episode is for you.

What does holistic wellness really mean, especially when weight loss, gut health, and GLP-1 medications are part of the conversation?In this episode of Becoming Together, I’m joined by my friend Rebekah Bogan, an Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse, Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and the founder of Essential Integrative Health and Wellness for an honest, conversation about wellness that looks at the whole-person. We talk about weight loss through a holistic lens, the role gut health plays in how our bodies function, and where GLP-1 medications can fit into a broader lifestyle approach.This is not a pro or anti medication conversation. It’s a realistic, educational, and compassionate discussion about support, sustainability, and personal responsibility in caring for our health.We unpack:What holistic care actually considers (and what it doesn’t ignore)How gut health impacts weight, and overall wellbeingWhat GLP-1 medications can support, and what they can’t replaceWhy long-term wellness still comes back to habits, awareness, and lifestyleIf you’ve been curious, confused, or quietly wondering how all of this fits together, this episode brings clarity.Continue the conversation, over on the Becoming Together Substack blog, where I share deeper reflections and create space for dialogue.If this episode resonates, I’d love for you to subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who may need it right now.

In this episode of Becoming Together, we continue exploring the 5 Keys to Lifestyle Change, focusing on preparation, follow through, and repetition.This conversation is about what happens after awareness and intention are clear. It’s about how habits are actually built in real life, when motivation fades and routines take over. We reflect on the role of preparation, the importance of anchoring new habits to existing rhythms, and how repetition slowly shapes identity over time.Rather than striving for perfection, this episode invites you to consider simplicity, alignment, and sustainability as you build habits that support the woman you’re becoming. It’s a reminder that lifestyle change doesn’t come from force, but from consistent, thoughtful choices made across seasons of life.If this episode resonates, you’re invited to continue the conversation with me on Substack at becomingtogether.substack.com, where I share reflections, prompts, and resources to support your journey physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this episode of the Becoming Together Podcast, we continue the conversation around the 5 Keys to Lifestyle Change, focusing on the first two keys: self-awareness and intention.This episode is about slowing down and paying attention to the habits, patterns, and routines that quietly shape our lives. Instead of rushing into change, we start with noticing, how we live, why certain habits feel normal, and what’s been influencing our choices over time.From there, we explore intention as a guide for everyday life. Not for perfect days or highly motivated moments, but for the ordinary days that actually make up most of our lives.This episode includes reflective prompts to help you pause, think, and apply what you’re noticing in real time.If you’re entering a new season and want a grounded starting point, this conversation is for you.If you’d like to continue the conversation, you’re invited to join me over on the Becoming Together Substack blog, where I share deeper reflections and create space for dialogue.If this episode resonates, I’d love for you to subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who may need it right now.

Welcome to the first episode of the Becoming Together Podcast.In this opening conversation, I share the heart behind this space and reflect on what it really means to be in the process of becoming. Not as something we arrive at, but as a journey shaped by seasons of growth, pauses, questions, and change.This episode lays the foundation for what’s ahead. I talk through moments when life shifts, when what used to work no longer fits, and when we realize we don’t always know what we don’t know. We explore why lasting change usually begins with awareness, not force, and why who we’re becoming matters more than the goals we set.I also introduce The 5 Keys to Lifestyle Change, a framework I’ve used in my own life during seasons when I needed real, lasting change. These keys will guide the next few episodes and many of the conversations to come.If you’d like to continue the conversation, you’re invited to join me over on the Becoming Together Substack blog, where I share deeper reflections and create space for dialogue.If this episode resonates, I’d love for you to subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who may need it right now.
