Sherri Dindal - Being The Real Slim Sherri and new beginnings in Midlife & Menopause

Many of you will know The Real Slim Sherri from Instagram and TikTok - she is well known for her no- holds barred, unfiltered truths around growing up in the 70's and 80's, midlife, life as a Gen X woman and menopause. 

I have loved her page ever since I discovered it and so was thrilled, (I mean so thrilled!) when she was booked to be a guest on the podcast. 

And what a way to open Season 7!

In this engaging conversation, Sherri Dindal - her real name - shares her journey through midlife, discussing the challenges and triumphs of menopause, the importance of humor in healing, and her mission to empower women. She reflects on her upbringing, career changes, and the creation of her wellness brand, Wholesome Hippie, which focuses on natural health products. Sherri emphasizes the significance of community and support for women navigating this phase of life, and she shares insights on parenting in midlife, highlighting the unique challenges and joys of raising children while experiencing personal growth. All, of course, with a good dash of humour thrown in.
