  • What Do You Want (Your Desires Aren't Going Anywhere)

    What Do You Want (Your Desires Aren't Going Anywhere)
    Jun 18 2025
    ✨ Episode Summary: In this soulful and spirited episode, Cheri explores the powerful pull of desire—how our deepest wants keep whispering to us, no matter how long we've ignored them. Through candid storytelling, humor, and a heartfelt guided meditation, she helps you reconnect with your inner truth and reminds you that joy is a spiritual directive. Whether it’s a creative spark, a childhood dream, or a mysterious calling, your desires aren’t random—they’re sacred. Plus, there’s a writing prompt to help you get clear and real about what you truly want. 📌 Three Key Learning Points:
    • Desires Don’t Expire: Longings that come from your heart will keep nudging you until you pay attention—and that’s a good thing.
    • Flip the Script with “Not This”: Clarity often starts with defining what you don’t want. Let that contrast guide you to truth.
    • Ditch the “How” Trap: You don’t need to figure out the logistics—your job is to dream clearly. Let the universe handle the delivery.
    💫 Mentions & Shout-Outs:
    • 🧘‍♀️ Meditation by Davidji – Guided heart-centered journey into your desires.
    • 🐴 Equine Therapy Story – A powerful reminder that “I don’t know how” is not a reason to quit.

  • Classic Replay! Meditation- -Where to Start

    Classic Replay! Meditation- -Where to Start
    Jun 11 2025
    🪷 Episode Summary: In this classic replay, Cheri Flake brings us back to basics with heartfelt humor and soulful honesty. Through personal stories, down-to-earth wisdom, and a warm shout-out to Louise Hay and Davidji, Cheri shares how to truly begin a daily meditation practice—without overcomplicating it. Whether you're a binge meditator, a meditation dropout, or totally new to the cushion, this episode is your permission slip to just start—three minutes at a time. Bonus: includes a calming breathwork-based meditation to kickstart your practice with presence and grace. ✨ Three Key Learning Points:
    • Three Minutes > Zero Minutes: Starting small, even just three minutes a day, beats lofty goals you never stick to. Build the habit, not the hype.
    • RPM = Rise, Pee, Meditate: This simple formula helps anchor your practice before the world (or your phone) steals your focus. Mornings work best—even for night owls.
    • Feel Good to Change: You can't shame yourself into transformation. Real change starts with compassion and showing up, not should-ing yourself into guilt.
    💌 Mentions & Shout-Outs:
    • 📖 Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki – Back-to-basics spiritual inspiration.
    • 🎉 You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay – The queen of affirmations and thought power.

  • Think Like the You You’re Becoming

    Think Like the You You’re Becoming
    Jun 3 2025
    In this heartfelt episode, Cheri Flake dives into one of the most transformative (and tricky!) mindset shifts of all: thinking like the version of you that you want to become. With wit, warmth, and wisdom from decades of therapy work, she unpacks why we’re not our thoughts—and how to separate from them using meditation, mindfulness, and sneaky brain hacks. This episode includes a powerful guided mantra meditation using Ham Sa (“I am That”), and even features an original song, “Joy,” by her band 13 Stories, written 18 years ago with this very message in mind. ✨ 🌟 Key Learning Points:
    • You are not your thoughts—you're the one noticing them. Meditation helps you see that thoughts are just options, not truths.
    • Convince your toddler brain by using affirmations with emotion and storytelling to make your beliefs feel real and sticky.
    • Flip the 'what ifs' to serve you. Instead of catastrophizing, play out best-case scenarios with emotional clarity.
    📣 Mentions & Shout-Outs:
    • 💻 Byron Katie’s “The Work” — Mind-shifting reframing tools.
    • 📖 Bhagavad Gita translated by Stephen Mitchell — A poetic and soulful sacred text.
    • 🎶 “Joy” by 13 Stories — Sheri’s song featured by Wayne Dyer on Hay House Radio.
    • 🎤 Wayne Dyer’s Inspiration Show on Hay House — For the spiritual spark plug vibe.
    • 🧠 Tip: Label your thoughts (“future,” “worry,” “planning”) to make them easier to release.
    • 🦋 Butterfly "what-ifs" — A sweet metaphor for gently redirecting anxious or repetitive thoughts.
    • 📧 Sheri wants to hear from you! Email her how you're taking control of your thoughts.
    🎧 Guided Meditation Included:
    Yes! A beautiful mantra-based meditation using Ham Sa (“I am That”) to help you gently return to center and reclaim your narrative. 💫 Final Thought:
    You’re allowed to change your thoughts. And when you do, your whole life shifts with them.
