It Starts with Joy - LIVE

Welcome to It Starts With Joy — LIVE, the morning show for leaders who are tired of acting “fine” and ready to get back to themselves.

I’m Sheryl Raphael Whitaker — best selling author of It Starts With Joy, leadership expert, executive coach, and TEDx curator. After decades in corporate leadership (and a few battle scars to prove it), I learned this: when joy isn’t at the center, everything else eventually cracks.

This space is different.

Each week, we go past the highlight reels and talk about what leadership actually feels like — the pressure, the clarity, the doubt, the courage, and the quiet moments when you know something has to shift.

No posturing. No polished perfection. Just truth, strategy, and the kind of joy that brings you back to yourself.

If you’re navigating change, craving clarity, or simply waking up to the fact that “fine” isn’t working anymore — you’re in the right place.

Subscribe — and let’s shift, together. 🧡
