Living Your Big Bold Life

Sheri begins her story today in 7th grade, the year she first joined Weight Watchers. As a young girl Sheri struggled with her body image and she always felt "big" compared to her siblings and friends. She noticed her parents commented on what she ate and on her size too. She often struggled feeling like she fit in, even with her own family. She found herself pregnant at 18 and was hoping that might help her find the purpose and family she had longed for. To make ends meet, she was working long hours. Life felt hard and in many ways she felt stuck. After a negative comment from her mom, she decided to go back to school and pursue a career in healthcare. It was one of the best decisions of her life. Fast forward to today and Sheri shares how intermittent fasting not only helped her lose weight, but it gave her the gift of clearing the noise and provided room for healing she desperately needed. She no longer needed to count calories or macros or measure her food, she could fast. Fasting also gave her so much time to pursue new dreams and adventures. She is the co-host of Life Lessons Podcast with Gin Stephens. Other topics: Fasting and Weight Gain: Can it happen and if so what do I do?

I’m a wife, mom, and friend. I have worked in healthcare for over 27 years and I consider myself one of the lucky ones who really loves her job. But, I also have passions that extend beyond my career. My entire adult life, I have had a true desire to help and connect with others. I have worked and volunteered for numerous organizations outside of the hospital. Over the last several years I have spent countless hours working with Intermittent Fasters, to help them reclaim their health and vitality. Once upon a time, my entire life was work, advanced education, and my family. My life was out of balance, and I really had to look at what I needed to do to live a more balanced life. I have spent the last several years trying to help others do the same and that’s where Life Lessons Podcast was born. One of the things I love about helping others is that in my quest to help, I also continue to learn so much about myself, our bodies, and our mental and physical health. My friends call me the "gadget girl," as I love tools and products that can be used to help people live their best and healthiest lives. kDEKxTvXEJLrnVfjtvoa
