Second chances can be beautiful- but they only work when the work is real. In this episode, Cheryl talks about accountability, healing, honest communication, and the consistent effort it takes to truly begin again. It's okay to put you first, because starting over means nothing if nothing changes...

Sometimes memory lane feels so familiar that we mistake it for a place we should return to.

In Episode 3 of The Next Chapter with Cheryl Taylor, we’re talking nostalgia, old relationships, former friendships, and the versions of ourselves we have outgrown—but still find ourselves missing.

There is nothing wrong with remembering the good times. But when we romanticize the past, we can forget why certain doors closed.

How do you honor the memories without reopening a chapter that cost you your peace?

Memory lane may be worth visiting—but it was never meant to become your permanent address.

Real conversations. Real questions. No judgment.

What happens when someone who has known you for more than twenty years uses everything they know against you?

In this episode of The Next Chapter with Cheryl Taylor, Cheryl reads a listener letter from a young dancer whose lifelong friendship begins to fall apart, after she earns the leading role in a major production.

What starts with jealousy quickly turns into rumors, betrayal, and a lie that threatens both her relationship and the career opportunity she worked so hard to earn.

Cheryl breaks down friendship jealousy, protecting your peace, and why history with someone does not always mean they are loyal to you.

Then, in the show's very first Author Spotlight, Cheryl shares part of her own journey from heartbreak to healing, writing, and becoming the published author of I Loved Wrong First.

Real conversations. Real questions. No Judgment.

I Loved Wrong First is available on Amazon. Limited bundle information:
