Making Friends with Change : A Happy Hour with Wine Executive and Author, Sally Srok

This week I’m inviting you to pull up a chair with my new friend Sally Srok and I! We are happy hour-ing at one of my favorite restaurants, Willi’s Wine Bar in Santa Rosa, CA enjoying delicious food and wine pairings and talking about ALL of the things including:

Why the heck she was in the improv class where we met
Her Memoir “The New Jew: An Unexpected Conversion"
Her second Memoir, "Bonus Round: A Divorce, a Gay-Ex Husband and A Life Reimagined"
The life-changing Cattle Drive that started her path to self-realization
Asking What If and the struggle to put herself first
What the Dining Room table represented and how she let it go
Helping others to find themselves in the pages of her books
