About this listen

 A note to listeners: This episode contains explicit language. It also includes a brief conversation about Iran that was recorded prior to the current U.S. conflict with Iran. Today, Michael welcomes Sarah Shahi. Sarah ignited screens in Netflix's global hit Sex/Life, becoming the face of women questioning everything and unapologetically choosing themselves. Her portrayal of Billie resonated with more than 170 million viewers and sparked a global conversation about identity, desire, and reinvention. Now starring in Paradise, the gritty new series from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, Sarah continues to bring nuance, heat, and heart to every role. Off-screen, she's a single mom of three and a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader who turned midlife chaos into creative awakening. In her debut book, Life Is Lifey: The A to Z's of Navigating Life's Messy Middle, Sarah explores marriage, motherhood, divorce, aging, career reinvention, and the courage it takes to choose yourself with wit, honesty, and fearless truth-telling. Conversation Highlights Include: • How stepping into a role that questioned everything opened the door to a deeper creative awakening and gave language to feelings that had been hard to name. • The way writing Life Is Lifey became a path through divorce, motherhood, and reinvention during a season of profound personal change. • How pain can begin to shift into purpose when you stop asking why it's happening, and start listening for what it's asking of you. • The meaning behind "Life is Lifey" as a mantra for navigating what you can't control while still choosing what makes you feel alive. • Why emotional sensitivity and intuition are not weaknesses, but powerful tools for living a more honest and aligned life. • How perfectionism can quietly bury your real desires, especially when you've been taught to be everything for everyone else. • What it feels like to live in the "messy middle," when the life that once fit no longer does and something truer is trying to emerge. • How to recognize the difference between intuition and fear, and what it feels like in the body when something is truly aligned. Next, Michael closes with a guided meditation that invites you to become still, listen inwardly, and reconnect with gratitude. 🪷 Order your copy of Life Is Lifey here https://www.lifeislifey.com/ and follow Sarah across social media. ✨ What's your Life Question?
