    About this audiobook

    “Thursday morning.

    One hundred pounds overweight, no man in sight, and rounding the bend to 57 years old—a full-blown catastrophe.”

    What happens when you realize you’ve had the career of your dreams, but you don’t have the life of your dreams? This was the stark reality facing Sheri Salata when she left her twenty-year stint at The Oprah Winfrey Show, Harpo Studios and the OWN network. She had dedicated decades to her dream job, and loved (almost) every minute of it, but had left the rest of her life gathering dust on the shelf.

    After years of telling other people’s makeover stories, Sheri decided to “produce” her own life transformation. And this meant revisiting her past, excavating its lessons, and boldly reimagining her future. In this audiobook, she invites readers along for the ride—detoxing in the desert, braving humiliation at Hollywood’s favorite fitness studio, grappling with losses, reinventing friendships, baring her soul in sex therapy, and more. Part cautionary tale, part middle-of-life rallying cry, Sheri’s stories offer profound inspiration for personal renewal.

      Outstanding! I first learned of Sheri Salata at an International Women’s Conference in Phoenix, AZ two years ago. She was my favorite speaker, mostly because she spoke right to my heart. She has continued to speak to my heart on the weekly podcast she hosts with her long-time friend, Nancy Hala. Even though we’ve never met in person, I consider her a soul sister who is on the same quest to find meaningful, and spirit filled connection.

      Beautifully written and relatable. Sheri is truly an impressive storyteller. She’s the loyal, fun girlfriend we all wish we had. I hope she continues in this role of author.
