Stop living by rules you never agreed to.
The podcast for founders, creatives, and leaders who did the therapy, read the books, and built the thing — and are ready to be more alive than their industry thinks is appropriate.
Each episode is a permission slip. New weekly. Episodes arrive October 6th — follow now
Hosted by clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, and circus artist Dr. Sherry Walling, Permission goes where most business podcasts won't — into meaning and burnout, identity, pleasure, grief, and the strange emptiness of getting everything you wanted and still feeling like something's missing. For anyone carrying the weight of the thing they built, and the people who love them. Every episode ends with a permission slip: one thing you didn't know you were allowed to do.

Sherry gives her side of the story and what she did to prepare for a possible move while not being able to make the news public.
