Sherry, I loved this so much. I’m spending my Sunday binge-watching Disney cartoons with my kids, zero guilt, and we’ve already planned burgers and chips for dinner later. Your post felt like a big exhale and that line “Hey, I love you. But today I love me just a little bit more” might be my new go-to. Thank you for putting this out there. Total queen energy. 👑🍔💕
I'm so glad to hear that from Salwa! You know I love my single moms out there slaying for their wee ones! You are a queen who deserves to savor those much needed sacred moments. So enjoy, queen! 😉🍔🍟
I love this, Sherry! I'm so glad you wrote about it and enjoyed your meal and movie. I put on my pink slippers, turned up my heating pad to its highest setting, and finished a book! ☺️ Looking forward to our conversation soon.
I see you're doing a Live with Sam on Tuesday, too!
Sherry, your piece resonates so deeply, it's almost uncanny! The way you described your body recoiling at your husband’s simple requests – I’ve been there! It's like suddenly every little thing becomes a personal affront, even when you know, rationally, it's not. The "Mount Kilimanjaro in Crocs" metaphor? Pure gold. I literally laughed out loud, picturing that absurdly impossible climb. It's such a relief to hear someone else articulate that feeling of being tugged in every direction. Sometimes, we pile on so many obligations, so many “shoulds,” that we forget to listen to our own internal signals. And isn't it funny how our bodies have their own ways of rebelling, throwing up those "stubborn toddler" defenses you mentioned? I think we often need to give ourselves permission to be human, to be a little messy, and yes, to sometimes prioritize a cheeseburger and fries over everything else. It’s those moments of unapologetic self-care that recharge us and allow us to show up more fully in the long run.
Alex, thank you for your deep share. I love these, when people go into detail what resonated for them because it’s that missing piece for me on SS is that back and forth conversation that we would have in person but so limited online. So I’m glad it connected and made you laugh at the same time. I really am getting to a point in life where I’m convinced humour is the healing elixir for all of us in this human “dilemma” we are all navigating. So thank you!🙏🏾 I appreciate you taking the time to comment with such depth.
I love that you recognized what you needed, and then proceeded to give that to yourself unapologetically. I'm gonna channel Sherry energy next time I need to say no.
Burgers and fries is the cherry on top too. Hashtag Big Sherry Energy. BSE. 😂
Looking forward to your next podcast with Jeannie!
I can taste the juicy goodness of that burger, not the beef, but the joy of replenishing a hunger for me-time!
It's amazing how much we think about "being a flake" but when we are fully honest with people when we cancel, they always give us grace. and if they don't, there's something off in the relationship!
Yes yes yes Sherry! I've had soooooo many of those moments too lol. And it's only now I've come to accept that in communities like ours where we prioritise our soul...people understand and even appreciate it more than we do! And the opp has happened too! I'd be secretly wishing for a meeting to get cancelled and the other person would cancel it😝🤣
It's so beautiful to see you grow and evolve my friend! Like a blossoming lotus or a butterfly coming out of its cocoon!
P.S.: The last time I felt like this, I beat the shit out of my husband in my head for 2 hours... because I didn't have the physical energy...giving him play by play...and then passed out of the exhaustion🤣🤣🤣. Next morning he said, now my body hurts because I felt all those beatings with the most serious look hahaha
😂😂😂 oh my goodness! The husband in your head beatdown!! 😅 thank you for your words of encouragement and noticing my change. I know its a lifetime journey so giving myself a lot of compassion and grace. At least today.🤗😉

Yes girl! I’m glad we both gave ourselves what we needed!🤗

thank you my friend! And those fries and burger were Yummy!😁
Heck yeah they were!
😂😂
I can hear you telling him to stop talking and then see his big grin 😂 I wish I would have canceled yesterday, live and learn.
lol! You know that grin well!😂
