In this episode of the In Demand Podcast, Asia and Kim unpack the emotional tension founders face when their product attracts a different kind of customer than they originally set out to serve.  From internal conflict to organizational confusion, they explore how this misalignment can quietly stall growth and what it takes to move forward with clarity.

In this week's edition of the AmiSights Podcast, we talk to Dr. Sherry Walling, founder and clinical psychologist at ZenFounder, which helps entrepreneurs thrive in business and in life by avoiding burnout and isolation. Dr. Sherry Walling discusses the mental health challenges of entrepreneurs, focusing on the importance of self-awareness, building a supportive team, and maintaining friendships outside of work.“I think it's really important for entrepreneurs to recognize their spouse as their first investor, the first person who said yes to their harebrained idea… The presence of a business is a little bit like the presence of a mistress, right? It's this ever present other thing that is absorbing the attention.”We explore why building a healthy company should not revolve around one person, but instead be systematized in a way that allows it to grow, thrive, and exist independently of the founder. We also discuss the importance of entrepreneurs being well-rounded, with interests and relationships outside of their business, and why securing full buy-in from a significant other is essential before starting an entrepreneurial journey.Connect with Dr. Sherry Walling: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/Check out ZenFounder: https://zenfounder.com/Recorded on 3/13/2025

Few people had an impact on my founder journey as Dr. Sherry Walling — and she didn't even know. But I got to tell her! We discussed burnout, imposter syndrome, and stress among founders. Sherry explained the need for mental health professionals who understand the unique challenges of entrepreneurship and shared that burnout is a diagnosable issue. While entrepreneurs have more control over their work, long hours and hustle culture can still lead to burnout. Her book, "The Entrepreneur's Guide to Keeping Your Shit Together," helped me during a period of burnout while selling my business. Now, you get to learn from her and her deeply actionable insights into founder psychology.00:00:00 Introduction to Sherry Walling00:03:13 Mental health in the entrepreneur community.00:09:17 Do entrepreneurs have control over their destiny?00:15:22 How do you find good mastermind groups?00:21:52 Mental health is not always called mental health00:28:20 Grief is the emotional reaction to loss00:34:06 You can have relationships with people who don't get it.00:40:24 Mental health apps are not a replacement for therapy.00:45:59 Why aren't more people talking about mental health?The WIRED article about mental health apps: https://www.wired.com/story/are-mental-health-apps-worth-trying/My new podcast project: Arvid & Tyler Catch Up / https://catchup.fmThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/dr-sherry-walling-the-reality-of-burnout-for-entrepreneurs/The podcast episode: https://share.transistor.fm/s/dc436cce The video: https://youtu.be/hIwaExsScWkYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comThis interview is sponsored by Acquire.com

Your body keeps score. And if you don't learn ways to release trauma from your body – whether it's from death or the loss of anything else – this can lead to chronic stress, decreased immune function, difficulty in regulating metabolism, weight gain, and even contribute to cancer, heart disease, and other chronic health problems. But, we're not taught to navigate grief in our culture. How do we properly heal, balance, and reset our nervous systems? In this episode, JJ talks with Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, author, and mental health advocate. Dr. Walling was catapulted into the world of grief and darkness after she lost her dad to cancer and her brother to alcohol addiction and depression. She needed to find a way to honor the grief and loss, while also staying in the fullness and beauty of life. In our culture, we're taught to numb out or to get back up and go on with our lives. But we need to learn to grieve better because time doesn't heal all wounds. “If we don't actively grieve, we're going to passively grieve,” says Dr. Walling. “And that creates a lot of complication for us in our body's systems.” Dr. Walling starts with the simplest place to start navigating grief. Then, she moves into deeper ways to move through our grief actively. When you do address your grief, it can lead to amazing shifts in your physical, mental, and emotional health – and we're all navigating some type (or types) of grief in our lives. Don't miss this empowering, uplifting conversation that we all need to hear! Listen to Dr. Sherry's playlist to soothe and encourage you in the darkest moments of grief.   https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0D54J2QG6HRw4UooIv7XxJ?si=a92a802155694506

Do you know how to cope with your own grief or the grief of others? Join Dr. Sherry Walling and Josh Trent as they discuss the stages of grief, how to cope with the death of a loved one, why we shouldn't identify with our emotions, and what it means to time travel for our mental health.   Listen To Episode 515 As Dr. Sherry Walling Uncovers: [1:30] Knowing God Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling Why Dr. Sherry is now placing more importance on the here and now. The reason Josh was angry at God when he was younger and how he realized he didn't truly know God. Uncovering why our anger implies hurt or needs that are unmet. Why for Dr. Sherry anger towards God means that there's a longing for a return to spirituality and understanding of what God is. Anger is more powerful than despair. The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R. Hawkins   [10:00] The Stages Of Loss How anger expresses that something inside of us needs to change and why it's a parallel to passionate desire. Jordan Peterson Why energy can't be created or destroyed, only transmuted. On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross How the grief when we are dying is different from the grief that we feel when someone we love is dying. Why grief is not only sadness but also anger and other dynamic experiences. Non-linearity of grief: Why we can't follow a step-by-step path.   [14:05] Losing A Loved One + How To Cope With The Discomfort Around Death Putting her knowledge as a trauma psychologist into practice when her dad passed and her brother committed suicide. How she got to understand that deep grief is universal and that no amount of training could make her exempt from the pain. The reason why we feel void when we lose a loved one. Why her patients and clients see her in a different way after reading her book. How her book has parts that are written about her for her and other parts that are written for others. Sharing your experience with others doesn't mean you're healed but it means that you're no longer bleeding. Why it's ok to let it be painful and uncomfortable for some time when someone's loved one dies. The importance of not skipping through the pain moment to the silver lining. Why the emotional quality of conversations about death should feel uncomfortable for a while. Transitioning to the celebration of the deceased person's life without alleviating the pain.   [22:42] We Are Not What We Feel How birth and death go to the depths of what it is to be human and to love. The ways in which Dr. Sherry found a resemblance between death and birth when she was taking care of her dad. How not being close to birth and death makes us uncomfortable and scared of these experiences. Identifying with our emotions: Why we're not what we feel according to Josh. Why emotions can feel like statements. What happens when we get stuck in emotions or attach to a story. The power of softness, flexibility, and allowing ourselves to feel our feelings without attachment. 483 Wayland Myers | NonViolent Communication: How to Stop Arguments In 60 Seconds + The Power of Loving Detachment Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships by Marshall Rosenberg A healthy way to detach ourselves from our feelings instead of identifying with them. Why language is essential when it comes to our emotions. How two opposed emotions can exist at the same time.   [29:40] Listening To Your Body + How To Choose Your Therapist Listening to the spaces in our body that get triggered with curiosity. Transference: The client redirects their emotions about one person onto their therapist. Countertransference: The therapist projects their emotions onto the client. How we hold imprints of the people in our lives in our bodies. Why Dr. Sherry believes that a dysregulation is a helpful tool when we listen to it. Her own experience with countertransference. What behaviors we should look for within therapists and why it's important to observe our feelings toward them. The quickest way to spot the emotions that we have around our therapist. The importance of money and time containers in therapy. How some therapists can get a secondary gain from the sessions.   [39:50] The Privilege Of Witnessing Death And Birth Josh explains why living well and dying well matter to him. The duality of moving between the world of the dead and the world of raising children and being in love. Why she feels privileged and empowered by being able to shift between the two worlds. The death process inside of us when we become parents. Why Dr. Sherry thinks we don't exist as an autonomous mechanism. The beauty of dyeing she saw when her dad was dying.

Why gratitude is the opposite of resentment. How suicide can teach us about the meaning of life. Why play and challenging activities are important to Dr. Sherry. Zen Founder Podcast   Power Quotes From The Show Having Uncomfortable Conversations "If I tell you a painful story and suddenly rush to all that I learned about it and all the reasons it's ok now, I skip through the painful moment. The emotional quality of the conversation becomes relief instead of discomfort. It's ok to let it be uncomfortable for a while and let people hold that space." - Dr. Sherry Walling   Birth And Death "Birth and death are edge states. They are moments in our lives that don't happen very much but they get to the depths of what it is to be human, to be in love, and to show up for people in their most vulnerable moments." - Dr. Sherry Walling   The Challenge Of Middle Adulthood "There's a duality between the world of aliveness and the world of the dead. Many of us will at times in our lives be called to move back and forth between those energies, that's the challenge of middle adulthood. You're in support and in connection to parents and elders who are further along the journey of death, and young ones who are just beginning life. You're a bridge between the world of becoming and the world of ending." - Dr. Sherry Walling   Links From Today's Show  Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R.

Brooke Bergman hosts the podcast this week to talk about families of origin, grief, and how to find hope in what can be a challenging time of year for some people. As we move into the heart of the holiday season, she helps answer the question, what do we do if being home isn’t actually restful? Sherry Walling’s TEDx Talk

Joining us today is Clinical Psychologist and the Author of Touching Two Worlds, Dr. Sherry Walling. Dr. Sherry has been treating patients for trauma, stress, and grief for over 20 years, and in 2017, the loss of her father and brother gave her a front-row seat to the type of devastation she'd been helping others navigate. She combined what she'd learned when studying both theology and psychology with her own personal experience, to develop a memoir that is as heart-wrenching and personal as it is informative and cathartic. We talk about understanding depression as a disease, how to be present in both grief and joy, why healing requires truth-telling, and how to speak to your kids about grief and loss. Dr. Sherry then explains why we need to change the societal narrative around suicide, the best practices when you are experiencing grief, how to speak to someone when they are grieving, and how the circus can be way more than just comical relief! Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning for loss, depression, and suicide. 

On this week's episode of IMPACT, we're joined by Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist, entrepreneur and an expert on handling grief. She is also the author of Touching Two Worlds about the duality of joy and grief.   All of us experience pain and grief at some point in our lives because it's a very normal and important part of human relationships and human emotion. But some of us get stuck in grief and hold trauma in our bodies, especially entrepreneurs and high performers who seldom slow down.   Grief is not linear – it may go away for a while and then months later, resurface in a different way. Grief can show itself through anger, anguish, sadness, and stillness. But it can also be fuel, passion and the determination to change something or advocate for a cause. This is all part of the grief process.   It's important to tell stories of loved ones who have passed on to share the reality of grief. The deeper work of grief is internal storytelling so that the role of that person in your life doesn't get glossed over.   The holidays are a great time to acknowledge the joy a loved one brought while honoring their memory with family, children, and friends.   This episode is special. It is for everyone. There are things that we are ALL going to experience in our lifetime… and grief is one of them.   Grief is complicated but giving space for all that comes with grief is important. What does this involve? Listen to this week's episode to learn more.     KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:32] How Dr. Walling became a grief expert through family loss [6:22] Similarities to losing a loved one and going through the pandemic [6:41] The Great Resignation      [10:42] The negative and positive manifestations of grief [15:10] Integrating grief into our lives [18:26] The importance of talking to kids about grief [23:29] Deeper work of storytelling in grief [27:47] The importance of talking with your family about end-of-life wishes     HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST https://www.sherrywalling.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sherrywalling/ twitter@sherrywalling.com Books on Amazon: Touching Two Worlds and The Entrepreneurs Guide to Keeping Your Shit Together     MEMORABLE QUOTES “Grief is a very normal part of human relationship and human emotion, and one that has all of these sort of riches and depths instead of like an ailment that needs to be treated.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “Integrating the body and movement into a course of working through grief is now absolutely central to how I think about what humans need when they're grieving.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “The unique thing about helping entrepreneurs or high performers grieve is that we're really good at not grieving. Our lives are really full, so it's very, very difficult for us to give the time and space to grief that it may warrant.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “The deeper work of grief is the remembering. It is the storytelling internally so that the role of that person in your life doesn't get sort of glossed over.” Dr. Sherry Walling   “I also think this idea of grief as sadness is not super helpful because grief is many, many things. It can be anger, it can be anguish, it can be sadness, it can be stillness, but it can also be fuel, it can also be passion. It can be the determination to change something, fix something, advocate for something that's all part of a grief process. And so I think grief can be fiery as much as it can be blue. And so giving space to all the parts of grief I think is really helpful.”  Dr. Sherry Walling                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Today I talk to Dr. Sherry Walling (@sherrywalling), a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, best-selling author, yoga teacher, and mental health advocate. Dr. Walling and I discuss her new book "Touching Two Worlds" and how to engage with grief and find hope after loss.  What We Discuss with Dr. Sherry Walling Dr. Sherry Walling and John R. Miles provide expert advice for those seeking hope in the aftermath of loss. Dr. Walling shares moving, intimate stories while proposing a broad range of recovery techniques and activities derived from neuroscience―like how to heal through movement, how to cry in public, how to look at how much time we give ourselves to grieve, how one accepts themselves when experiencing grief without expecting more from themselves, and how to cope with survivor's guilt.

Their body is elevated trying to react to a stressor.  2:32 To help someone feel better in the midst of stress is to reregulate or bring their body and their mind down to homeostasis. Thoughts go slower, the heart beats slower, and breath is slower. If we can turn the slow-motion dial on that often helps stress feel much more manageable and accessible.3:22 When we can feel that sense of agency over our bodies and our lives, that feels so much better than feeling stuck on the tilt-a-whirl at the fair. And we're just moving so fast and we're like, ‘Yeah, I wanna get off.'4:47 Being in my own grief after the losses (of my dad and brother), one of the things that were so helpful to me was I really connected with my own body.  6:13 When we get into some kind of emotional expression, we can breathe again. It's a big exhale. It's like putting down the heaviness of all that we are carrying and being present with a different experience.6:27 Emotional expression allows you to have a little lightness, a little levity, or really express some of those negative emotions. Feel into your anger. Feel into your fear, but not in a way that feels like it's going to be overwhelming for you.6:52 Our society is kind of set up to move quickly through grief. Like policies related to bereavement leave. You might go to your mom's funeral on Saturday and on Tuesday, you're supposed to be back at work. There's not a lot of space for grief.7:09 A lot of us feel like we gotta muscle through hard things when we're in pain or suffering. But the tendency is to just keep going, just keep moving, just be gritty. And those aren't bad messages. I just think they may be out of balance.7:30 Don't go around pain or suffering. Don't avoid it. Don't skip over it. Talk about it. Feel it. Express it. Move toward the heart of what's difficult, knowing that that's where all the growth lies. That's where all the lessons are.  8:03  When you go in and through something - for instance, grief - there's no part of you that you don't have access to. There's no part of you that you feel like you have to hide from.8:56 Writing can be helpful for people who like to journal. Writing about your own experience can be a really powerful way to do some of that in and through work.9:13 If you feel like you want the presence of another human, it will help to be in therapy or go to a support group where you can begin to tell the stories to give life and words to the things that feel painful.  9:33 You can also try expressive movement such as a five rhythms dance practice where you pair different kinds of movement with different kinds of emotion. It can be a yoga session. There's something really can be quite healing about holding a warrior position and lingering there and letting your body do the work to breathe through and to hold that position.10:55 Doing grief better means talking about grief. It's naming those that we've lost. Naming the hopes that we had that never came to be.11:12 Doing grief better means we're collectively comfortable moving in and out of tender spaces, knowing that we can do that with gentleness and with some graciousness and not feel like we have to, again, skip over it and just get back to work and get back to normal life. That is quite damaging to people who are in any kind of grief.Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, a new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play. This podcast is hosted by Allison Walsh and Angela Phillips.

Grief is something that touches every single person in the world. Unfortunately, no one can avoid it. But how do you cope and rebuild in the aftermath of loss?Today's guest, Dr. Sherry Walling, is going to talk about grief and some surprising ways that you can deal with it. She's written a very special book called, Touching Two Worlds: A guide for finding hope in the landscape of loss. It touches on things that will have you more emotionally engaged than anything you've ever read.It's partially a memoir, written about Dr. Walling's experience of losing her father to esophageal cancer and her brother to suicide within six months of each other. It's a big immersion into grief, losing people she loved but at the same time, growing her career and raising her children in the prime of her life. This idea of touching two worlds is about her experience going back and forth between the world of aliveness and the world of grief along with some suggestions for the reader to help them deal with their own personal grief. This was an absolutely fascinating and healing conversation for both Mike and Gay. Key Takeaways: (04:09) Gay talks about the personal grief he's currently going through.  (07:56) Mike tells us about his family and dealing with losing his parents. (11:06) Psychedelics as a tool for grief. (18:23) The body's reaction to grief. (25:58) If we don't release grief it gets stuck and Circus works.

Join Sounds True's founder, Tami Simon, in this compassionate podcast with Dr. Sherry Walling about her new book, Touching Two Worlds, as they discuss navigating the duality that exists on the opposite spectrums of our lives, the healing practice of writing about our experiences of grief, overcoming the stigma and silence around suicide, the just-world hypothesis and how traumatic events change our view, accepting limitations in life while taking responsibility for finding our own sense of meaning, accessing a sense of calm and grace to release the unresolved shock of grief, finding closure versus finding the place "where grief lands with love," and more.

Through her company, ZenFounder, Dr. Sherry empowers leaders and entrepreneurs to do hard things by exploring creative ways to get unstuck.Despite grief being a certainty, most of us struggle to navigate the landscape of loss.

Today's guest, Sherry Walling, is a respected clinical psychologist who specialises in entrepreneur mental health. She's also the host of Zen Founder, a podcast where she is sometimes joined by her husband Rob. Those who have listened to Zen Founder know that Sherry has been sharing movingly about the upheavals and losses she's gone through over the last few years - in 2018 she lost her father to cancer followed, six months later, by her brother to suicide - and how it's affected her, and their whole family. On today's show Sherry talks to Dan about how she tried, in some way, to make sense of what happened by penning a book “Touching Two Worlds: A Guide To Finding Hope In The Aftermath of Loss” “The events of the past few years have been so strange to me that I must force myself to study the story, like something I am learning from the outside in, like something that happened to someone else ”. It's a moving account of what she discovered, including some great practical suggestions for others finding themselves in a similar place and struggling to cope. In Sherry's case this included joining the circus (evenings and weekends only).
