What a Gift to Dive into Self-Connection!

In this conversation, I explore the importance of self-connection in a world filled with distractions and external pressures. I share my insights on how understanding ourselves and nurturing personal expression can help us navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience.

I talk about the power of self-reflection—especially during difficult times—and how checking in with ourselves can reveal what truly matters. Feeling disconnected? I encourage you to consider the activities that bring you joy and fulfillment as a way to realign with your inner self.

I also share simple yet powerful shifts that can transform daily life, from adjusting conversations to creating uplifting environments. Prioritizing self-care isn’t just important—it’s necessary. When we recognize and embrace our individuality, we don’t just improve our own lives—we contribute more meaningfully to the world around us.

Sherri Coale, a native Oklahoman, grew up in a small rural town, falling in love with reading, writing, and basketball. After a standout collegiate career at Oklahoma Christian, she transitioned from player to coach, embarking on a Hall of Fame career.

For 25 years, she led the University of Oklahoma women’s basketball team, becoming the program’s winningest coach. Under her leadership, OU made 19 straight NCAA tournaments and three Final Four appearances.

In this conversation, Sherri Coale and I dive into the transition from coaching to writing, the power of storytelling, and the lessons that connect both disciplines.

Sherri, former head women’s basketball coach at the University of Oklahoma, shares how writing has always been a part of her coaching career. We discuss how the pandemic created space for her to reconnect with this passion, ultimately leading to her weekly blog and her book, Rooted to Rise.

Consider the parallels between coaching and writing—both require discipline, consistency, and a deep commitment to growth. Sherri and I explore how storytelling allows us to reflect, connect, and honor the people who’ve shaped our journeys.

We also talk about the impact of mentorship, the importance of showing up even when motivation is low, and how writing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery.

Key Takeaways:

• Writing fosters self-reflection and deeper connection.
• Recognizing and honoring those who’ve shaped our journey amplifies gratitude.
• Consistency is essential—whether in athletics, leadership, or creative pursuits.
• Daily writing is a practice that strengthens both skill and perspective.
