Why does it seem so easy for kids to own what they’re proud of, but it’s so much harder for us adults? As we head into the last day of 2019, I want to talk about how we can celebrate our 2019 accomplishments, take inventory of some things that maybe need a little work, and plan for the future. 

I’m a future-thinker, so it’s not easy for me to reflect. But we can’t know where we’re going in the future without reflecting on the past. I’m sharing my best end-of-year tips for reflecting on the past so you can transform your future.

What do women’s cycles, floral workshops, and Frozen 2 have in common? They’re all topics of questions from this episode of the Zimmerman Podcast. We discussed the logistics and finances behind workshops, what happens when you have an unhappy bride who leaves a bad review, and ways to get stuff done on days you don’t feel motivated. Let’s get started! 

For this episode 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.

In this episode of the Zimmerman Podcast, I interviewed the amazing Jill Zarin. You might know her from her Real Housewives of New York fame, but she’s also a mom and a multi-passionate business-woman, with a handful of titles to her name, including author, speaker, Vice President of Jockey Hosiery, marketing consultant at her late husband’s company Zarin Fabric Warehouse, and owner of Jill Zarin rugs. 

If you know me, you know I’m a total Real Housewives fan-- it’s 100% my guilty pleasure-- so I’m so excited I got to chat with Jill! I gave a warm Zimmerman welcome to THE Jill Zarin.
