How to Own Your Story and Produce a Life You Love with Sheri Salata

We’re looking back at the podcast episode when I got to sit down with THE Sheri Salata. Sheri is the co creator of The Pillar Life, author of The Beautiful No, and former co-president of Harpo Studios and the Oprah Winfrey Network. She was also the executive producer of the The Oprah Winfrey Show. While her list of accolades is long, Sheri tends to define herself by the simple title that has most defined her life: storyteller.

During our conversation, I got to hear Sheri’s story first-hand, from her days with Oprah through the personal reckoning that became the inspiration for her book, and what her life looks like now. In her book and in this interview, Sheri gracefully grapples with issues like honoring your body, knowing when it’s time to explore your own passions, and bravely embracing a wholehearted life. By the end of the episode, I was so moved by Sheri’s wisdom that I kind of lost my cool and sounded like a blubbering idiot. It really was a dream-come-true experience getting to talk to her.
