What happens when every cell in your body says, “It’s time”—but you have no idea what comes next?
In this episode of Solving for Joy, host Dr. Chrissie Ott sits down with Dr. Sheri Rosenthal, founder of Wanderlust Entrepreneur and Journeys of the Spirit, for a conversation about trust, flow, and the serendipity of following what feels right.
A former surgeon and residency director, Sheri didn’t reinvent herself—she simply listened when life called her into a new season. That call led her to study for eight years with Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, and eventually to guide others in creating transformational retreats around the world.
Together, we explore how the teachings of The Four Agreements—especially being impeccable with your word—can shift our inner dialogue, release resistance, and open the door to unexpected joy. Sheri reminds us that letting go isn’t failure—it’s flow. When we stop fighting what’s changing, we create space for what’s meant for us.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How serendipity guided Sheri from medicine to meaning—and why she trusted it
• What The Four Agreements teach about self-talk, ego, and freedom
• Why alignment often feels like ease, and resistance signals it’s time to listen
• How energy exchange and abundance are connected to sustainable service
• The role of faith and trust in moving forward when the path isn’t clear
If you’ve ever felt a quiet inner pull toward something new, this episode is a reminder that life unfolds in perfect timing—and joy often lives on the other side of trust.
