An Imperfectly Perfect Life with Shari Leid

What does it mean to intentionally rebuild your life—and then actually move forward?

In this end-of-year episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life, I reflect on 2025 as a deliberate rebuilding year and share the top three lessons that shaped how I think about love, work, money, and self-trust. I also offer simple, practical tools—questions, mantras, and reflections—you can use to step into the new year with clarity and confidence.

Most of all, I share my excitement about what’s next.

My wish for 2026 is simple: to enter this next year together, with intention—moving from a year of rebuilding into a year of implementation.

If you’re ready to stop preparing and start living what you’ve learned, this episode is for you.

We talk a lot about bucket lists as someday dreams, but rarely about how our money actually supports the life we want to live right now. In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Sakai of One Vision Retirement to explore a different approach to financial planning, one that starts with your bucket list and works backward with intention.

Lisa shares how aligning your finances with your values can turn vague dreams into realistic plans, without fear, pressure, or perfection. We talk about why clarity matters more than complexity, how to make space for meaningful experiences, and how money can become a tool for freedom rather than stress.

This conversation is about living fully, planning wisely, and creating a future that feels intentional, not postponed.

In this episode of An Imperfectly Perfect Life – with Shari Leid, I sit down with the extraordinary Stoy Hall: financial strategist, founder, speaker, and one of the most refreshingly human voices in the world of wealth-building.

Stoy doesn’t just talk numbers. He talks meaning.

In this conversation, Stoy shares the story behind his life’s mission is to rid the world of financial illiteracy . From his early experiences that shaped his relationship with money to the powerful moment he realized everyone who has wealth, did not build alone – they had someone(s) who help them.

We explore:

* How your personal story affects your financial life more than any spreadsheet

* The mindset shifts that lead to generational change

* Stoy’s deeply personal “aha moment” that transformed the way he leads, gives, and lives

This is not a financial episode. It’s a human one. It is an episode about identity, intention, and rewriting the narratives we inherit.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from the traditional messages about money, this conversation will help you breathe deeper and dream bigger.

I made it to Dallas — and today, you get the first peek inside my brand-new home!
This episode is all joy, fresh paint, unpacked dreams, and the feeling of walking into a space that finally feels like mine. After a interstate move, a massive life transition, and a very full moving truck, this house is where my new chapter officially begins.

Come with me as I open the door for the very first time and talk about what this home, this city, means for my next season of reinvention, creativity, and connection. If you love new beginnings or stories of starting over – especially in mid-life – with hope and joy — this episode is for you!

Welcome to Dallas.
Welcome to my new home.
Welcome to the next beautiful chapter.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
Today’s episode is a gentle reminder rooted in one simple truth: you have always had all you need. This guided Thanksgiving meditation is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have carried you through every season – the resilience, wisdom, love, and inner light that were never missing.

In this short reflection, I share a spoken-word meditation I wrote for you: a reminder that even in years marked by loss, transitions, new beginnings, and surprise chapters, you were never empty – only unfolding. Together, we’ll revisit the moments that shaped you, honor the strength you revealed along the way, and give thanks not for what arrived, but for what awakened within you.

Whether you’re celebrating with a full table or a quiet heart this year, this meditation is a grounding space to return to yourself – to gratitude, to truth, and to the reminder that everything you need has always lived inside you.

Wishing you a warm and connected Thanksgiving.
Let’s flip the box together. 💛

In this deeply honest and liberating conversation, I sit down with Nikki Corbett, founder of The Scarlet Edit, to explore what happens when women stop hiding the chapters of their lives they’ve been taught to feel ashamed of – and instead rewrite them with truth, compassion, and power.

Nikki shares the story behind The Scarlet Edit: how a moment meant to define her became the catalyst for a movement helping women reclaim their narratives. Together, we talk about the weight of labels, the silence women are conditioned to carry, and the freedom that comes from owning your story rather than being owned by it.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, mislabeled, or muted. It’s for every woman who’s been told who she should be – and is finally ready to decide that for herself.

Join us for a conversation that’s raw, revealing, and ultimately redemptive.
Because sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is edit the story we were never meant to keep.

What does it really take to live a “next level” life? In this episode, Shari sits down with Alan Lazaros – speaker, coach, and co-founder of Next Level University – to unpack the habits, mindset, and connections that turn vision into reality.

Together, Shari and Alan explore what it means to keep showing up when no one’s watching, how to rewrite your story, and how to build a life that aligns with who you’re becoming, not who you’ve been.

Whether you’re building a business, striving to level up professionally or personally (or both), or just ready to stop playing small, this episode will leave you inspired to take one small, consistent step toward your next level, today.

Hadley Shafer’s Break at the Bend reminds us that sometimes life’s sharp
turns are divine detours. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about

the courage in beginning again, and the peace that comes when we trust
the universe’s other plans.
