Sherry Sidoti is an author and a yogi. She recently published her first book, a memoir about her own healing journey, A Smoke and a Song. This is such a powerful and moving story highlighting how we can heal ourselves by exploring and accepting our experiences, and coming to terms with the past.
We talk about:
- What inspired Sherry to write her book
- Sherry’s journey to writing a memoir
- Sherry’s experience as a yoga teacher and how it has helped her learn to use language sparingly and effectively
- Writing a memoir with a focus on self-expression and ethical considerations
- How Sherry was able to write about trauma without triggering trauma
- Motherhood and healing generational trauma
- Using meditation and sensory awareness (five sense awareness) to access memories
- What it means to be living in the layers
- What it’s like living on Martha’s Vineyard
