Sacred She Reset: Awakening Your Radiant Wisdom in Midlife

About Sacred She Reset: Awakening Your Radiant Wisdom in Midlife

What if midlife is not the beginning of your decline—but the awakening of the woman you were always becoming? SacredSHE Reset: Awakening Your Radiant Wisdom is for women navigating menopause, exhaustion, identity shifts and the quiet feeling that they have lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way. Hosted by Cherie Ashana—author of The Sacred SHE Reset and founder of AwakenedSHE—the show brings together honest solo conversations, lived experience, holistic wellbeing, embodied practices and intimate interviews with women and experts. Together, we explore the body, voice, vitality, relationships, healing, joy, purpose and hidden patterns that keep capable women running on empty. This is not another conversation about fixing yourself or becoming a better version of who you have been. It is an invitation to stop abandoning yourself, listen to the wisdom of your changing body and step into the next chapter with greater self-trust and radiance. You are not falling apart. You are becoming. Your radiance starts here.

   Rewrite Your Self-Talk and Reclaim Your Confidence with Ly Smith | 008

   What happens when you've spent years caring for everyone else, meeting expectations, and doing all the right things, yet somewhere along the way you've lost touch with yourself? For many women, the quiet stories they tell themselves become so familiar they stop questioning whether they're even true. In this heartfelt conversation, Cherie Ashana welcomes self-leadership strategist and award-winning speaker Ly Smith to explore how self-talk shapes our confidence, our choices, and the way we experience our lives. Ly shares the deeply personal moment when, surrounded by everything she thought should make her happy, she realized something was missing. That awakening led her on a journey of rediscovering the woman beneath the labels, expectations, and roles she'd carried for years. Together, Cherie and Ly reflect on the patterns of perfectionism, people pleasing, and self-doubt that can quietly keep women disconnected from their own needs and desires. Through Ly's Reactor to Creator framework, her CANDY Method, and simple practices for becoming more aware of your inner dialogue, they explore what it means to see yourself differently and begin trusting your own voice again. This is a gentle reminder that your next chapter doesn't require you to become someone else. Perhaps it begins with remembering who you've always been. What You’re Invited to Discover The unexpected awakening that revealed how easily we can lose ourselves beneath familiar roles and expectations. Why perfectionism, overthinking, and people pleasing can keep us caught in reactive patterns. A simple mirror practice that may reveal more about your relationship with yourself than you expect. How small shifts in self-talk can create space for greater confidence, clarity, and self-trust. Why acknowledging your progress may be just as important as taking the next step.

   The Power of Daily Practice: Finding Your Way Back to Yourself | 007

   What if meaningful change wasn't about doing more, but about creating space to reconnect with yourself? Small, intentional daily practices can become powerful opportunities for self-reflection, emotional healing, and rediscovering your inner wisdom, especially when life feels unsettled. After experiencing a powerful earthquake in Panama, Cherie Ashana found herself navigating unexpected emotional shifts alongside the excitement and demands of everyday life. Returning to the personal rituals that have supported her for decades, Cherie shares how journaling, conscious breathing, movement, and moments of stillness help her process emotions, find clarity, and deepen her spiritual connection. Through an intimate reading from her own journal, she offers a glimpse into the healing and self-discovery that can unfold when we give ourselves permission to slow down and listen within. Whether it's five minutes of reflection, a walk in nature, or putting pen to paper, your daily practice doesn't need to be elaborate or perfect to be meaningful. It's about finding something uniquely yours and nurturing your relationship with yourself, one intentional moment at a time. A question to carry with you: What is one small practice you could bring into your day that would help you feel more connected, present, and alive? What You’re Invited to Discover: How unexpected disruptions can bring unresolved emotions and hidden patterns to the surface. Why giving yourself permission to rest can open the door to fresh perspectives. The difference between expressing gratitude and exploring the deeper layers of what you're feeling. How creative expression can reveal parts of yourself that are asking to be heard. Why your personal practice doesn't need to look like anyone else's to be valuable.

   Trust Your Inner Wisdom: A Conversation with Cheryl Brewster | 006

   How do you learn to trust yourself when life feels uncertain and everything around you seems to be changing? For women navigating midlife, transformation can bring moments of fear, self-doubt, and a longing for clarity. Cherie Ashana welcomes intuitive leadership guide Cheryl Brewster for a heartfelt conversation about finding your centre amid life's unexpected challenges. Drawing on Cheryl's personal experiences and her work with leaders, they explore the relationship between intuition, self-trust, emotional awareness, and the courage to choose differently. Together, they consider how pausing, conscious breathing, gratitude, and curiosity may help create space between a difficult experience and your response. Cheryl introduces a playful metaphor of life as a movie, inviting you to notice the roles you inhabit and the stories you may be ready to rewrite. Their conversation also touches on perfectionism, vulnerability, self-compassion, and the power of small, intentional steps. As you listen, consider: Where in your life are you waiting for certainty, and what might become possible if you trusted yourself enough to take the next step? “Dear God, help me accept the truth about myself no matter how wonderful it is.” What You’re Invited to Discover: Why self-trust may become especially meaningful during seasons of uncertainty and transformation A playful way to view your life as a movie and notice the roles, reactions, and patterns you inhabit The possibilities that conscious breathing, gratitude, and curiosity may offer when emotions feel overwhelming What might change when procrastination, self-doubt, or perfectionism become invitations to explore rather than reasons for judgment How courage, gratitude, and conviction can inform the next small step in your journey About Cheryl Cheryl Brewster is a neuroscience-informed leadership speaker and facilitator who helps leaders navigate change without burnout or self-betrayal. Known for her grounded presence, humour, and instantly usable tools, she equips individuals and teams to think more clearly, regulate stress, and make better decisions when it matters most. In 2004, Cheryl stepped away from a successful corporate career, following an intuitive calling that led her into leadership development. Her journey through multiple family crises and a near-death, out-of-body experience forged a deep respect for forgiveness, focus, and courage; strengths her clients feel the moment she walks into the room. (For grief, transition, and spiritual life support, visit RevCherylBrewster.com) Cheryl blends neuroscience-based emotional regulation, intuitive intelligence, and ministerial training to create psychologically safe spaces where real change happens. Leaders describe her work as a turning point: patterns of self-sabotage, overwhelm, and reactivity give way to clarity, confidence, and sustainable performance. Over the past two decades, Cheryl has worked with executives, educators, mental health professionals, government leaders, and corporate teams through keynotes, workshops, and facilitated sessions. She has guest-presented on effective communication skills for the Justice Institute of BC, and worked with municipal governments, unions, and professional associations, and recognized with business excellence awards and an RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award nomination. https://TheIntuitiveLife.com (https://theintuitivelife.com) Resources: Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) About the Host: Cherie Ashana is the author of Sacred SHE Reset, founder of AwakenedSHE, and host of the SacredSHE Reset Podcast.

   What Does It Mean to Become a Radiant Woman? | 005

   What if midlife isn't asking you to become someone new, but to stop becoming less of yourself? After years of adapting, enduring, caring, achieving, and navigating change, it can be easy to view midlife primarily through what is changing or being left behind. Cherie Ashana offers another possibility: a wider vision of the woman waiting beyond survival. She calls her the radiant woman. Not a woman who has perfected her life, healed every wound, or stopped struggling, but one who is learning not to abandon herself when struggle arrives. Cherie explores what this could look like across the many dimensions of a woman's life from listening to her body and expressing her needs to creating honest boundaries, receiving support, reconsidering work and purpose, reclaiming her voice, and allowing joy to matter now. This conversation also opens the door to the future of Sacred She Reset: a gathering place for honest conversations about menopause, identity, relationships, creativity, purpose, body wisdom, belonging, and becoming. Who are you becoming when you no longer organize your life around self-abandonment and what might she be asking you to protect, express, or bring alive? What You’re Invited to Discover: A different vision of midlife that looks beyond loss and toward what may be emerging What Cherie means by the radiant woman and why radiance isn't about perfection Where boundaries, voice, creativity, relationships, purpose, and self-trust meet in the process of becoming The possibility of creating success and belonging without continually sacrificing yourself A glimpse into the wider vision of Sacred She Reset and the conversations still to come Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) About the Host: Cherie Ashana is the author of Sacred SHE Reset, founder of AwakenedSHE, and host of the SacredSHE Reset Podcast.

   When Your Needs Are Always the First to Be Postponed | 004

   What happens when your needs become the one thing that can always be postponed? “I don’t have time for myself” can sound like a simple reality of a full life. But beneath the responsibilities, deadlines, relationships, financial decisions, and people who need you, there may be another question worth exploring: When did making room for yourself become optional? Cherie reflects on her own pattern of recovering just enough to return to the same way of living, and the distinction she eventually discovered between recovery and restoration. From there, she explores the less visible costs of continually coming last—exhaustion, resentment, disconnection, and losing touch with your own desires. Rather than suggesting another time-management strategy or encouraging impulsive spending in the name of self-care, Cherie invites a more honest look at time, energy, money, support, and the choices available to you now. Sometimes reclaiming yourself may begin with asking for help, lowering a standard, sharing a responsibility, creating a boundary, or simply recognizing that your needs belong in the conversation too. Complete this sentence for yourself: The space I am ready to reclaim is… What You’re Invited to Discover: The important difference Cherie discovered between recovery and restoration What may be hiding beneath the familiar words “I don’t have time for myself” A different way to consider the cost of waiting, not only the cost of taking action Where time, energy, money, boundaries, and support intersect with patterns of self-sacrifice One honest question that may help you begin reclaiming space without trying to transform your whole life overnight Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) About the Host: Cherie Ashana is the author of Sacred SHE Reset, founder of AwakenedSHE, and host of the SacredSHE Reset Podcast.

   How to Begin Trusting Yourself Again When You’ve Tried Everything | 003

   How do you begin trusting yourself again when you feel as though you've tried everything? There is a particular kind of exhaustion that can come from starting over—another routine, another promise, another attempt to change—only to find yourself returning to familiar patterns. Eventually, the disappointment can become something more personal: Maybe nothing works for me. Maybe I’m the problem. Cherie brings curiosity and compassion to that fear, exploring why knowing what you need isn't always the same as feeling able to follow through. Through her own experiences with perfectionism, doing everything alone, and looking outside herself for answers, she reflects on self-trust as something that may be built through action rather than something you have to wait to feel. Cherie shares three ways to begin differently: starting smaller than your perfectionism wants, noticing your evidence of return, and allowing yourself to be supported. Rather than measuring yourself by everything you haven't completed, she invites you to notice the moments when you listened, paused, asked for help, rested, or honoured what you needed. Where might you be using an old pattern as proof that change isn't possible—and what could your next honest step be instead? What You’re Invited to Discover: The deeper fear that can hide beneath the words “I’ve tried everything” A different way to understand inconsistency without automatically making it evidence of failure Why knowing what you need may not always make changing an old pattern feel easy The small moments of return you may be overlooking when measuring your own progress A gentler possibility for rebuilding self-trust without needing to know or trust the entire path Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) About the Host: Cherie Ashana is the author of Sacred SHE Reset, founder of AwakenedSHE, and host of the SacredSHE Reset Podcast.

   Beyond Managing Symptoms: The Four Pillars of Radiance | 002

   What if supporting yourself in midlife is about more than managing one symptom, emotion, habit, or challenge at a time? For many women, the search for feeling better can become a collection of separate solutions—one for the body, another for stress, another for mindset—while the woman at the centre of it all can begin to disappear. Cherie explores a different possibility through her Four Pillars of Radiance: Health, Healing, Happiness, and Heart. Drawing from her own lived experience and years of working with women, Cherie reflects on what can shift when you begin seeing yourself as a whole rather than a collection of problems to solve. From your relationship with your physical body to the emotions you carry, the joy you may have postponed, and your capacity to receive without abandoning yourself, each pillar offers a different doorway back into connection. This isn't another checklist or an invitation to work on everything at once. Instead, it is an opportunity to become curious about what may be asking for your attention now. As you consider Health, Healing, Happiness, and Heart, which pillar feels most supported in your life—and which one may have quietly been waiting for you? What You’re Invited to Discover: The Four Pillars of Radiance and the different doorway each may offer into your relationship with yourself A different way to consider midlife when another strategy, solution, or to-do list doesn't feel like the answer The hidden connection between constantly holding everything together and losing touch with what you need Where joy, receiving, boundaries, and self-compassion may belong in a conversation about well-being An invitation to notice which of the four pillars—Health, Healing, Happiness, or Heart—is calling for your attention now Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) About the Host: Cherie Ashana is the author of Sacred SHE Reset, founder of AwakenedSHE, and host of the SacredSHE Reset Podcast.

   Have You Mistaken Self-Override for Strength? | 001

   What happens when being strong begins to look a lot like overriding what your body has been trying to tell you? In the first episode of Sacred She Reset, Cherie Ashana shares the deeply personal story behind the podcast and the experiences that shaped her relationship with her body. After years of surgeries, medical interventions, recovery, travel, and repeatedly finding a way to keep going, she began to question something she had long considered one of her greatest strengths: her resilience. Drawing from her own journey, Cherie explores the space between resilience and self-override, what it can feel like to become disconnected from your own needs, and the possibility of participating more fully in the relationship you have with your body. She reflects on medical care, self-listening, midlife, menopause, identity, and the gradual process of learning to trust herself differently. This is not a conversation about rejecting professional care or finding one perfect answer. It is an invitation to become curious about what you may have learned to normalize while keeping everything together. Where in your own life might you have mistaken override for strength—and what could you begin to notice if you listened differently? What You’re Invited to Discover: The hidden tension between being resilient and continually overriding what you feel A different way to consider the relationship between professional care and listening to yourself Where years of being capable, dependable, and strong may leave little room for your own needs The connection between body awareness, identity, self-trust, and the changes that can accompany midlife A possibility that opens when you become curious about what your body may have been communicating Get your Copy of the 7 Day SacredSHE Reset ebook at https://awakenedshe.com/ (https://awakenedshe.com/) About the Host: Cherie Ashana is the author of Sacred SHE Reset, founder of AwakenedSHE, and host of the SacredSHE Reset Podcast.
