About this episode

In this episode, award-winning author, yoga teacher, and steward of memoir writing + healing experiences, Sherry Sidoti, shares how writing your story is not only an act of self-expression but a powerful tool for deep healing and overall health. With over 20 years of experience teaching healing arts and mysticism, Sherry weaves together yoga and embodied writing to help us unlock transformation, bridging the physical and emotional layers of our lives.



Sherry also opens up about her relationship to grief, offering helpful reflections on how embracing loss can guide us to growth, resilience, and renewed connection.



As the author of A Smoke and a Song—a gold medal-winning inspirational memoir—and the founder of the Embodied Memoir Writing Series, Sherry's work reminds us that sharing our stories is a sacred practice. It heals us and sends ripples of healing out into the collective.



This conversation is for anyone seeking to connect to their story, their body, and their ability to transform life's challenges into beauty.
