Last episode, Sheridan Guerrette declared she wasn’t making any resolutions for 2026… and somehow still ended up doing everything anyway. She embraced the beauty of failure and effort, modeled at the gym instead of working out, pulled an all-nighter fixing a brand redesign she swore she was done with, and found herself slipping back into business opportunities despite trying to leave that world behind. Between suitcase living, sassy outfit changes, UFC opinions that raised eyebrows, and opening pre-orders for her limited-edition poetry book featuring handwritten original poems, she showed up fully—unapologetic, messy, and more herself than ever.
I Didn't Make a Resolution and Somehow Did Everything Anyway

Wrapping Failure, Ambition, Abs, and a Brief Attempt at Self-Restraint
Viewer Discretion Advised (Seriously).
This season contains unresolved tension, inconvenient truths, questionable decisions made with good intentions, and a narrator who is self-aware enough to know better, yet keeps yappin’ anyway.

Compassion Comes First: What the Files Really Mean to Me
Last week, and honestly, the few before it, I couldn’t write an episode without brushing up against the one truth I wasn’t ready to share. I sat with it, wrestling, for weeks. Though the words stayed stuck, refusing to spill from my fingers. That is, until now. Either I’m choosing to share, or I’m choosing to do what I have to. It’s time to let out the part of me I’ve hidden for years, on purpose, because once it’s out, there’s no taking it back.
The past two weeks have been jam-packed with meetings, contracts, and new writing gigs. I’ve started ghostwriting for new clients, and I’m filling the rest of my time with networking, working on other businesses, and trying to keep my mental sanity together.
I’m not sure how far in-depth I want to go yet, and I know you may be reading this and thinking, Sheridan, just spill the details. Well, unfortunately, you know that I would if I could, but there are much larger evil forces at bat that I’d rather not swing against right now. I’m not ready for a fiery curveball headed for my head and my future—not quite yet.
