What if fear isn’t something to overcome… but something to use?

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life with Shari Leid, I sit down with Janice Burt to explore a powerful reframe: fear is not the enemy. It is information. It is direction. And when you learn how to work with it, it becomes one of your greatest advantages.

We begin with a question that makes you pause:
If today were your last day, would you be doing what you are doing right now?

From there, this conversation opens up what fear really means in your life, your relationships, your career, and your next chapter. Instead of avoiding it, what if you learned how to use fear as a tool for clarity, confidence, and forward movement?

If you have ever felt stuck, uncertain, or held back, this episode will help you shift how you see fear and how you move through it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to turn fear into an advantage in life and business
  • Why fear often signals growth, not danger
  • The role fear plays in leadership and decision making
  • How to move forward even when you feel uncertain
  • A simple mindset shift that changes how you take action

This is not about eliminating fear.
It is about learning how to move with it.

Because the people who learn to use fear are the ones who create what others only think about.

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life –with Shari Leid – Shari sits down with speaker and resilience expert Tiran Jackson for a conversation about the true nature of resilience.

Many people believe resilience is something you either have or you do not. Tiran shares why that belief is a myth. Through his personal journey and the lessons he has learned along the way, he explains how resilience is actually a skill that can be developed, strengthened, and practiced over time.

Shari and Tiran explore how the challenges we face can become the very experiences that build our strength. They discuss the mindset shifts that help people move forward after adversity and how the stories we tell ourselves can shape our ability to rise again.

This conversation is an honest look at growth, perseverance, and the power we all have to build resilience one step at a time.

What if resilience is something you can actually learn?

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life: Life Unscripted, I sit down with Tiran Jackson for a powerful conversation about resilience and the life experiences that shape it.

Tiran shares his personal story and the moments that tested him, changed him, and ultimately strengthened him. Through those experiences, he discovered something many of us overlook: resilience is not just something a few people are born with. It is a life skill that can be developed through the challenges we face.

Our conversation explores how adversity can become a teacher, how perspective shifts the way we move through hard moments, and why the struggles we experience often become the foundation for who we are meant to become.

If you have ever wondered how people find the strength to keep going when life feels uncertain, this episode is a reminder that resilience is not about being unbreakable. It is about learning how to rebuild.

What really happens after you file for divorce differs for everyone — and can be incredibly challenging for those who are leaving a toxic partner.
Why do custody battles and high-conflict divorces continue long after the relationship ends?

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life, Shari Leid talks with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There. Got Out. Lisa spent years navigating a high-conflict divorce, representing herself against her former, much wealthier, spouse – through the chaos of a complex legal system, Lisa now works with clients around the world who are dealing with toxic relationships, legal abuse, and exhausting custody disputes.

This conversation explores what legal abuse looks like, why leaving doesn’t always bring relief, and how people can regain clarity, confidence, and agency when systems feel overwhelming and unfair. It’s an honest, validating discussion for anyone rebuilding their life after divorce, emotional trauma, or long-term conflict.

If you’ve ever wondered why getting out didn’t mean it was over, this episode will help you understand why – and what comes next.

In this episode, I sit down with Daven Michaels—a 10-time author, New York Times bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and respected business strategist—live from Top Talent Hollywood’s Media Row.

Daven is widely known for helping people build wealth and businesses that create real freedom, but at the core of his work is something deeper and more enduring: community. Throughout our conversation, we explore how long-term success isn’t built in isolation—it’s built through intentional relationships, shared experiences, and environments where people truly belong.

That philosophy comes to life through Daven’s creation of the San Juan Island Social Club and its accompanying San Juan Island cruise experience—a curated community designed to bring entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives together not just to network, but to connect, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships in real life.

Drawing from decades of entrepreneurial experience, Daven shares why community is not a “nice-to-have,” but a strategic advantage—and why the most successful leaders are those who invest in people as intentionally as they invest in growth. Even in the high-energy environment of Media Row, his clarity, presence, and commitment to connection come through loud and clear.

If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or creator who wants to build wealth, impact, and community—without doing it alone—this conversation will challenge how you think about success, leadership, and what it really means to build something that lasts.

What does it mean to create a container for a new year?

In this episode, I’m talking about creating a container for 2026 — the emotional, energetic, and practical structure that holds your life so growth can happen without burnout or force.

A container isn’t about goals or resolutions. It’s about the environment you’re living inside. The boundaries you set. The rhythms you keep. The support you allow. When the container is strong, clarity and momentum follow naturally.

I share how I’m thinking about my own container for 2026, why support matters more than willpower, and how designing the right structure can change how you show up in your work, relationships, and leadership.

If you’re entering a new season and want it to feel grounded, intentional, and sustainable, this episode will help you rethink what it means to hold your life well.
