The moment you think a surprise party is coming and HR walks in instead—what happens next? We sit down with author and broadcaster Sheridan Stewart for a raw, uplifting tour through radio’s hidden gears: legends and layoffs, emergency broadcasting that steals your sleep, and the quiet courage it takes to start over when the wheel turns without you. Sheridan’s number-one ratings didn’t shield her from a mid-show redundancy; they became the soil for a deeper career built on service, empathy, and a powerful declaration: I am enough.

We trace the arc from Triple M Adelaide to the ABC, from back-to-back bushfires into a pandemic, and the lesson that 150 percent is a myth. Sheridan breaks down her 90-day challenge—no non-essential spending, using what you have, and a hard line on unpaid overtime—and explains how it reset her money story, her focus, and her energy. She draws a crisp line between affirmation and declaration, showing why claiming enoughness now (not later) protects your capacity for real emergencies, loved ones, and the work that truly matters.

There’s joy here too: an “increasing joy” plan that led to dancing in the dark, daily movement, and a lighter way to carry ambition. We talk midlife friendships that act as touchstones, gratitude practices that stick, and the scary-fun leap into building a values-led business—courses, publishing, and owning the pipes after years of making value for others. If you’re navigating burnout, big pivots, or a creative reboot, this conversation offers humane productivity, practical boundaries, and small rituals that change everything.

Listen, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review to tell us your first 90-day rule. Then visit sheridanstewart.com to learn more and find her book, I Am Enough.
