I was emancipated at 17, ghosted by my own blood, and raised by the fire of starting over. This is my beginning.

What Sheridan Said — Airing Wednesdays at 9/8c.
Like your favorite series, but smarter, messier, and better dressed.
Previously on What Sheridan Said...
Sheridan Guerrette, the messier, smarter, better dressed launches her announcement as queen of Wednesdays at 9/8 Central. What Sheridan Said, was a soft-launches straight into real-time chaos: sick with a crispy-throat plague, bundled under blankets, she spills the road-trip wedding saga. Solo-driving cross-country with her epileptic pup Shadow (peanut-butter-medicated) and the other dog in a tricked-out rolling lounge, she naps at a sketchy truck stop ignoring frantic parental texts, crashes at her sister's wild college house, then bridesmaids at a glowing Minnesota wedding—steaming dresses on hands and knees, dodging small-town ghosts, DIY hair/makeup perfection despite sensitive skin. Post-vows, she crashes at her parents' Tennessee spot, dogs in yard heaven, while illness hits hard. Fade to black on tea-sipping survival mode—next week, the show fights back. Stay cozy, and pour yourself a drink.

So, I'm Doing This Now
April 16th, 2025
A soft launch into my chaotic life, featuring dog meds, wrinkled wedding dresses, and one very sketchy nap.
A lot of things about me, my story, what’s happened, and what I sometimes still deal with are things I’ve kept hidden. Hidden from the world. Hidden from the people closest to me. Maybe because I’ve cared more about the scarcity of their story than the right to tell my own. Maybe I’ve cared too much about them and not enough about my own need to selfishly, unapologetically express who I am.
I am an expressive, creative person. Always have been. And I’m finally ready to embrace the chaos that’s shaped me. To share it all, even if it causes discomfort for the ones involved. Starting with my family.

I’m the black sheep. That title isn’t a metaphor; it’s a full-time role. Things were sometimes rocky, and I actually cut off my parents for five years. One day, everything had exploded, and I just… walked away.
