Sherri Dindal, welcome toAsking for a Friend, thank you.

Sherri Dindal (The Real Sl (02:33):
That sounded amazing, thank you.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you, that sounded amazing.
No, thank you for having me.
I love to write.
I love to write and try not tolean on chat GPT too much.

Sherri Dindal (The Real Slim (02:46):
Oh well, you know, I mean, you got
to use the tools.
You've got Use the tools thatare out there, Exactly.

Exactly.
Well, such a treat to have youhere, and I told you before we
got started that I've beenfollowing you for a very long
time, and the real Slim Sherriis always one of those Instagram
posts that I just gigglebecause you say what I think.

Sherri Dindal (The Real Sli (03:14):
You know, I think I say what a lot
of people are thinking.
You know, especially at thisphase of life, if you will, I
think a lot of the stuff I tryto speak about are things that I
feel like a lot of us didn'thave the uh we, we didn't, they
kept, they gate kept.
You know they were gatekeepingand, uh, we weren't really
warned up for a lot of thethings that were coming for us
at this phase of life.

(03:34):
And so I just am like I'mopening all the gates, I'm going
to spill all the secrets and so, uh, at the same time, I just
like to poke fun at that.
Just where we are, you knowyou're aging and uh, you know
just menopause and all thethings that have uh, suddenly
appeared in my life, and I knowthe lives of so many other uh
women, and so I just poke fun atthat, because sometimes

(03:55):
laughter is the best medicine,oh and for sure.

And if we can't laugh about some of this stuff,
we're doomed.

If we can't, laugh about some of
this stuff, we're doomed.
I mean, we're doomed regardless.
Laughter just makes it a littlemore palatable, you know.
It just makes it a littleeasier to swallow.
And you know, laughter, justlaughter, is healing.
And you know, I think there's alot of us that are, you know,
hit in this phase of life.
We've raised our kids or arestill raising kids, because I am
, you know, our parents areaging, You've got, you know

(04:26):
we're, we're the sandwichgeneration, and then you know,
we still, we're still working.
And then also, you know, like Isaid, then there's menopause
and aging and your body startsto turn on you and there's, it's
just a lot, it's a lot that'shappening at one all at once,

(04:46):
and, um, I just, I thinklaughing about it is all you can
do, because if not, then theonly alternative is to cry or
drink.
Well, there's that too Alcohol,you know, if you partake, then
there's that.

But just soften the blow a little bit, Exactly,
and you say you have one childtoo, like who I have three.

two are still at home.
So I have a son that's grownand on his own he's a middle
school teacher.
And then I have two girls, 11and 14.
And they are so their pubertyis meeting my second puberty,
and so we just there's a lot ofclashing that goes I don't talk
about them as much I want to,but I think that you know,

(05:22):
they're very, they're sensitive,they're sensitive kids, these
kids today, and so I try not topoke at them too much on social
media because they I don't wantto hurt their feelings, but I
could do a whole series just onbeing a 52 year old mother with
two teenage girls.
Let me tell you, it is Godbless you, it is fun.

Good times around here.
Mine are 30 and 28.
And that can be a wild ride.

I can't even imagine what you're
going through right now I've gota 35 year old and so our
conversations when he comes tovisit are different these days,
because he's starting tocomplain a little bit about some
of the things you know at 35,you know, my knees bother me or
whatever, something's hurtingand I'm like welcome to midlife.
Like, technically you're 35,you're midlife now, which is a
bunch of bullshit, but that'swhat they say is that you know,

(06:11):
the average lifespan of a guy is70 or whatever.
So he's technically, I'm likeyou're technically middle-aged.
I don't know what to tell you.
Welcome to getting old.

Well, and you know, back to the definition of
midlife, someone told me theother day why do you keep saying
you're in midlife?
You're 61 years old?
And I said okay, if you want togo at this, we'll do this right
now.
And I DMed her back and I saidage is just a number.
I still feel like I'm midlife.

(06:43):
I don't feel advanced age, sowhy am I?
I'm not going to pencil myselfor put myself in that category.

Sherri Dindal (The Real (06:50):
People love to tell us where we're
supposed to be Like the constant.
I get that sometimes too.
Like you're not mid.
I mean comments, you know I'llsay something about midlife, and
they're like you're not midlife, you're 52 or whatever.
Like I'm like, so you assumethat I plan to die at 70.
Like that's, what you'reassuming is that I plan to die.
I think a lot I said.
There's so many 70 and even 80year olds that I know that are

(07:13):
just living their best lives.
Like they don't, they don't,they don't, they're not fragile,
they're not, you know, ready toone foot in the in the grave
and another on a banana peel.
We're not there, you know.
And so for me, I'm like midlifeis a state of mind.
I think I don't consider it anumber.
Um, it really is a state ofmind and like how you see

(07:33):
yourself, and so I still seemyself with a whole lot of life
ahead of me, and so I don't.
I do feel like I'm just in themiddle somewhere.
You know, I'm not, uh, I'm not.
I'm not young and I'm not old.
We are the youngest of the oldpeople, is what we are
technically, where the or no,we're the oldest of the young
people.
That's what I'm going to saywe're the oldest of the young

(07:54):
people and yet we're theyoungest of the old people.
So we're like in that middleplace and, uh, it's just, yeah,
it's a state of mind, and peoplelove to push their ideas on you
, and so for some, I'm like ifyou, if you in your head, are
telling yourself like I'm, I'mnot going to.
70 is the average lifespan, andwhen I'm 35, I'm middle-aged
and I'm, you know, I'm close todying at 70.

(08:14):
That might be, that's probablygoing to be your fate.
Yeah, you know, that's probablygoing to be beyond 100.
And so I'm like I, technically,am right in the middle.
So, yeah, you are yeah.

Well, I'm going to join you.
I mean my target's like 90, 92,somewhere in that neighborhood,
but I'm going to be right therewith you.
Well, I had a grandmother thatlived.

My great grandmother lived to be
she missed her 105th birthday bya month.
So longevity runs in my family.
Both my grandparents on mymother's side lived into their
nineties and when mygreat-grandmother turned a
hundred, we had this hugecelebration, family reunion.
She got like a letter, acertificate from Ronald Reagan
and all of a sudden there's allthese generations of children

(09:01):
around her her grandchildren andgreat and so on.
And I just remember watching,you know, and being there and
observing and hearing about herlife and all that she had done
and I thought this is amazing.
I was about 12 or 13, I think,at the time, and I in that
moment was like I'm going tolive to be a hundred.
I, you know, I'm going to livethat long.
And so I had to stop telling.
For many, many years I was likeI'm going to live to be 100.

(09:22):
And then I realized I have tostop doing that.
I'm probably going to die on my100th birthday.
So I just have to say I'm goingto live past, I'm going to live
beyond 100.
I'm going to live beyond sothat I don't kick it on my 100th
birthday.
But yeah, longevity runs in myfamily.
Now I might feel differentlywhen I get into my 90s.
Maybe I won't be here many,many years, decades.
I've said I'm going to livebeyond, to be 100 or older, a

(09:44):
self-fulfilling prophecy.

I love it, Sherri .
You've built something trulyspecial, and I think you really
need to take us back to thebeginning and how your journey
into comedy really got started.

Well , I mean, it wasn't until
recently that I would have evergiven myself the comedian label.
I never perceived myself asbeing a comedian.
I am now because I'm on acomedy tour, so I can't really
not be a comedian.
But I never even reallyconsidered myself very funny.
I've always been rather serious.
I had a corporate career beforeI started my own business.

(10:19):
For 26 years I was aninvestigator.
I had a really serious job andI never considered myself funny,
witty, sarcastic.

Yes.

But never really considered myself
to be very, very funny, and sowhen I so how I got started on
social media was I didn't planto do what I do now I I got
COVID, like so many other people, back in 2021.
And I was just laying in bedfor a month scrolling TikTok.
Before that I didn't, it wasn'teven on TikTok.

(10:48):
I got on TikTok because I wasstuck in bed and I was sick and
I needed something to entertainmyself.
And so, you know, at that timeit was very much dance trends
and all this kind of stuff, andI was like this, you know,
whatever, this is stupid.
But then I started acrossvideos that were not about dance
trends, they were people justtalking head, you know, and I
was like I think I could do this, and I thought initially I
would do it to promote mybusinesses.

(11:09):
I was like, oh, I should dothis to promote my business and
it that it just never turnedinto that.
It was, um, I, you know, made avideo, maybe one video about my
business, and then I one dayjust made a video, and then I
made another funny video, not noreal talking.
I think the big one, my firstbig one, was when I did the

(11:30):
sounds only Gen X hears, whichare just opening notes to songs
that we all would know, right,Like no, no, no confusion about
which song it is.
And that song was my first realviral video and I picked me up
like 40,000 followers overnightand I was like what in the world
?
Like I didn't, I didn't knowwhat I was doing.
You cracked the code.

(11:51):
I was just like what I mean I?
It was like a dog, it's like adog whistle.
You know, that's what that thatthat video was like.
Those little sounds are like adog whistle.
And so I had all these newfollowers and so I started
making a little bit more Gen Xcontent because you know early
on, that's what TikTok likes.
They want to put you in a niche, you know.
And so I was like, oh, I'll dowhat they want me to do, I'll
make more videos about Gen X.

(12:11):
And it's funny because before Igot on TikTok, I never
identified as Gen X Like itwasn't like a thing we didn't
label ourselves that way.
This is very much a newgeneration thing, millennials,
gen Z, that labeling.
We didn't really labelourselves like that.
So it wasn't like I must'veseen somebody make a video or
something about talking aboutGen X.

(12:32):
And I remember thinking, oh,that's me, that's me.
So I made some more funny videosand then I started really
scratching the surface on sortof some of the more taboo topics
you know and and some of themore serious topics, injecting
humor of course, but startedchipping away a little bit at
some of the uh, the stuff thatwe, you know, went through

(12:53):
growing up.
And then that turned into megetting bored, honestly, about
talking just about Gen X.
I didn't, I was like I, I'm,I'm more than that, I can talk
about more than that.
And it just so happened at thattime I was also about to turn
50.
I was entering, you know, Iwasn't in menopause yet, but I
was very much perimenopausal andentering about to be menopause.

(13:14):
And also just the aches and thepains and I was like what
happened to my back and why didmy knees hurt?
And that turned into talkingabout midlife and it turned into
talking about midlife and itturned into talking about
menopause.
And then I, you know, in betweenthere I started doing some
empowerment videos, just wantingto empower through the comments
, reading a lot of the commentsof women not just women, guys

(13:35):
too, yeah, just about where theyare and and.
Uh, you know, kind of like whatyou said.
We first started talking aboutyou.
You say the things that are inmy head, and, and so I wanted I
started doing my daily doses andwanting to do more empowering
videos.
And, just you know, peopleasking why, how are you so
confident?
And and and and how do you?
You know, how do you go aboutlife the way that you do, like,

(13:56):
how did you get there?
And so I started my daily dosevideos and the rest is history.
It just sort of took off andand next thing, you know, I've
got 5 million followers and Idon't even know how, I don't
know why one of them follow me.
To be honest, I'm like, don't,I'm the blind leading the blind.
Don't follow me.
Uh, I will lead us into somesort of chaos.

But that's why people like you and I you know I
I'm curious because you do comeacross really confident.
Have you always been that?

Sherri Dindal (The Re (14:23):
confident person cross, really confident.
Have you always been thatconfident person?
You know, it's funny becauseyes, to a sense.
So, to put it into perspective,I said I was an investigator
for 26 years and so I had tocarry myself a certain way.
I was in a male-dominated field.
I was one of very few women inthe early 90s that got into the
field of work that I was in.

(14:44):
I worked a lot of organizedcrime cases and things like
field of work that I was in.
I worked, you know, a lot oforganized crime cases and things
like that, and so I wassurrounded by a lot of guys and
I had to have a certain had tocarry myself a certain way to be
able to survive in that worldand have a certain level of
confidence, be able to grow inmy career.
And so, yes, on that side mycareer, and so, yes, on that
side, I've always been kind of ado not, don't mess with me, uh,

(15:07):
kind of girl.
Okay, and and and candefinitely have that level of
confidence that lets people knowlike I'm not gonna, I'm not a
pushover, I'm not going to besomebody that you, you know can
easily run through is especiallybecause of the career that I
had.
On the other side of that, uh,the truth is, is behind that.

(15:30):
You know, that's the mask thatI wore for many, many years.
You know of what women I thinka lot of us do, especially if
you have a career and you'retrying to compete, we get really
good at putting the mask on andpretending that we are
something right.
So the truth of that is is that, although I've always been had
a certain level of confidence, Ididn't have the internal belief
system about myself that I wasgood enough or that I, you know
that I was good at anythingreally.
So that was.

(15:51):
But, yes, the, you know, the inin it when it comes to career
and all that.
I've always had that.
I don't know where I got it.
Probably, you know, some,somewhere in my past, my youth,
the way I grew up, but it, youknow, there's still always been
that self-doubt, and I think alot of women struggle with that
right, like that internal voice,that critical voice in your
head that tells you you're notgood enough, you're not worthy,

(16:11):
you're too much, you're too loud.
These are things I heard throughmy career, of course, that I
was, I didn't play well in thesandbox.
I was, you know, too much, tooloud too.
You know passionate too.
You know passionate, if youwill, was a word they like to
use.
So yeah, those those things, alot of women internalize that

(16:31):
stuff, and so I, now that Idon't work in the corporate
world anymore and I own my ownbusiness, I've come out of that
a lot more.
I've been able to climb out ofthat and work a lot on myself.
So yeah, the confidence, just Idon't know, I think I kind of
came by it naturally in the inthe workplace, outside of the
workplace.

You know, it's something that's the femininity
you know that feminine power gotto put some of that on the back
burner sometimes when we'replaying in a man's world, and

(17:12):
that's probably where some ofthat response came from, you
know, because maybe you weren'tthat you were.
You were behaving outside thenorms of what they expected, and
I see that with women who areour age, that you know, we kind
of grew up in a different time.

Oh yeah, I mean we also grew.
I mean we grew up in a timewhere, you know, we didn't have
the internet.
You know, we, we, we solved ourbeef face to face, right, we
were none of this internet trollcrap or none of that.
We just, if you said something,you said it to somebody's face
and you, you know you guyseither solved it or you got
punched in the mouth.
That was kind of how thingshappened back then, and so you

(17:50):
know, you do.
I do think we had most of us hadto learn to carry ourselves a
certain way anyway, and so atleast where I grew up, you know,
there was definitely.
That's probably where I saidsome of it stems from just where
I grew up and how I grew up andand, uh, the environment you
know which I was in, and so alittle bit of that came from
that.
And knowing I always wanted tobe a cop, and so that was early,

(18:11):
that was in my, you know,younger years I knew that that I
certainly carried myself acertain way, but some of that
was just toughness.
That was that again, that's themask you put on, the don't mess
with me, and so I've carriedthat my entire life.
I still have very much a do not.
I've had to be careful becauseI get recognized in public a lot
and I definitely have a RBF bigtime, and so people are afraid

(18:34):
to come up to me.
They've, they've even, you know, they come up there, they're so
nervous I'm like, oh, don't beafraid to come up and talk to me
, but I have, I forget that Ihave this RBF.
That's kind of permanent.
It's etched into my skin andhas been there a long time, and
so I've tried to be better aboutbeing more open, seeming more
approachable, because I'm notsuper approachable.

Well, so RBF is resting bitch face, if anybody
was curious as as what Sherrywas referring to.
But so you've had kind of aninteresting career which I love.
The investigator piece Did youever imagine you'd be an
entrepreneur?

No , you know, I didn't.
I thought I would be aninvestigator for till I retired,
which I didn't think I'd everretire.
I've always said I'm going towork till I die.
That was, you know, becausepublic servants and
investigators you don't make alot.
You don't.
You're not in that kind of jobto make a lot of money.
Right, like you do it becauseyou love it.
And so I did it.
I did because I loved it and,uh, I didn't.

(19:34):
I always dreamt about likestarting my own business.
I always had all these ideasbut never could bring.
I never brought any of them tolife because I was always too
busy working and I worked a lotof hours, I traveled a lot and
finally be 10 years this year.
I was burnt out, I was tired, Iwas like I was going.
I'm pretty sure it was in thethick of perimenopause at that

(19:56):
time.
I didn't know it, I did notknow what was going on in my
life.
I just knew that I felt crazy,I felt all kinds of weird things
and I just was like I got toget out, I got to quit, I can't
do this anymore.
And so it took me a while towork up the nerve, but I did?
I quit my job and I never hadquit a job without having
another job.

(20:16):
So I told myself you got a yearto figure out what you're going
to do with your life and if youcan't figure it out, you're
gonna have to go back to work.
And that was something I justcouldn't wrap.
I didn't want to.
I was like I don't want to haveto go back and I don't want to
be a failure.
And I'm, you know, I'm not goodat anything.
That's those again.
That's that internal voice.
Right, I'm not good at anything.
Um, I don't have any it.
I had nothing else and so Iquit that job.

(20:36):
I quit my job, told myself Iwas going to start a business,
and I did.
I first I started a boutique,which I still own, a boutique
and then, about five years in, Iwas like okay, I, you know, I
don't want to do this forever.
I didn't want to sell clothesforever.

(20:57):
I didn't, I don't even, youknow I didn't even want to wear
clothes.
You know, I don't even want towear clothes.
You know, I don't want to sellthem forever.
Nobody likes pants.
Okay, but yeah, so we startedWholesome Hippie, my skincare
company, for my boutique.
Originally I thought, well, Ihave really sensitive skin.
I wanted something for myselfand I thought it would just be a
brand for my boutique,something I would sell
exclusively through Feather andVine, which is my boutique, and

(21:20):
it turned into its own brand.
It's you know, it's, it's sogood and it's my baby and uh,
it's yeah I.
I never, I never, imagined Iwould actually become an
entrepreneur.
It always, like I said, Ialways had a lot of ideas.
I had a lot of looking back.
I've had some really good ideas.
I was like, ooh, I should havepulled the trigger on that.
That would have been, thatwould have been good.
But I didn't and I did what alot of people do.

(21:41):
You get sucked into a careerand you work that career.
You know, we were taught, wecame up in a time where it's
like loyalty was rewarded, right, and you work for a company for
30, 40 years and then you drawa pension or retire and but it's
not like that.
It's not that we were sold thedream.
That is a lie.
It was a lie, and a lot of them, a lot of people do put in 20,

(22:03):
30 years and then you get yourwalking papers handed to you
because the company goes out ofbusiness or they lay you off or
whatever, right.
So you know, I was.
I thought that that was what Iwas going to do forever.
Was what exactly?
What I had been told was theblueprint to my you know what,
what my life was supposed to be,which is get a job and work for
them forever and then retire.
And a lot of my early career,one of the companies I worked

(22:25):
for I had a pension, and thenwhat happened was, 10 years in,
they went, they were going outof business and I was laid off.
I had nothing, no pension,nothing, you know and I started
over and then I realized, youknow, like that dream, I guess,
that they sell us is a crock ofshit and so shit.
And so I have now, at thispoint in my life, 10 years into

(22:47):
being an entrepreneur.
I'm like at least I am incontrol of my own fate.
Now I haven't put my not thatI'm knocking people that put in
20, 30, 40 years into a companyI loved being loyal, but it
never paid off for me.
So I wish that if I could goback and get 10 years of those
those years back and had startedmy businesses 10 years prior my

(23:08):
gosh.
I would be.
You know, I would be closer toretirement.

In a whole different place.
Yeah, hey, Sherri, we're goingto take a quick break and when
we come back I want to talkabout the wholesome hippie line
and what makes it so special.
You listen to the podcast.
You might even see my reels onInstagram.
Perhaps you've even clicked alink or two, but you still
haven't made a move.
You're still waiting for theright time to start.

(23:35):

stop watching and start doing.

(24:18):
Let's do this together.
Okay, we are back.
I want to dig into your productline a little bit, because I
think this is like my audienceis your audience.
Tell us a little bit about theline.

So we're an all-natural wellness
and beauty brand that is maderight here in the state of
Georgia where I live, so we makeeverything it's all made in the
US.
We started as a wellness brandso early on, uh, when we first
started wholesome hippie, Iwanted products that were really
kind of all natural to dealwith aches and pains, and I saw
have suffered from migraines mywhole life, so I wanted

(24:56):
something for headaches.
I had eczema, really bad as akid, so I wanted something to
help.
You know people with eczema.
So early on, most of ourproducts were like wellness
products, stuff for pain Cause.
You know, of course I haveplenty of that and especially
you know my career.
I've been in a lot of physicalaltercations and I've got a lot
of old injuries and so I I'mreeling in pain most of the time

(25:18):
, and so I wanted products thatweek that were.
My mom is in stage four kidneyfailure and has been for many
years, and a lot of that wascaused directly from
over-the-counter medications andI wanted an alternative to
taking pills, like I didn't wantto be popping pills all day.
I didn't want that to be myfate.
You know that my kidneys aredamaged and a lot of people

(25:39):
don't realize.
Years of ibuprofen and naproxenand some of these other
over-the-counter pain meds arereally hard on our bodies
internally, and so I wantedsomething that was an alternate
for that, for me and for others.
And so later came our beautyline.
I've always had extremelysensitive skin.
I never had a beauty regimenuntil we started Wholesome

(26:02):
Hippie.
I was still washing my facebecause everything I used either
broke me out or burned my skin,and so I was still using a bar
of regular Dove or Caress soapto wash my face.
My skin was so dry and I justthought that's how it was
supposed to be, becauseeverything I used never worked
for me.
And so my manufacturer who Iwork very hand in hand, I'm

(26:24):
involved in the creation ofevery single product that we
make and I was talking to herone day, and she was talking to
me about beauty.
She's like you know, you reallyshould consider beauty.
And I was like nope, I havereally sensitive skin, I'm not
going to do it.
And she's like please, just letme send you some samples and
try it.
And let me know.
I totally understand if youdon't want to, but you should at
least try it.
And just so your audience knows.

(26:45):
We don't bring any product intoour lineup that I haven't tried
myself.
I put it every single thing Itry on myself.
So I was really nervous.
So I was like, oh my God, Iknow what this is going to be,
because this is just how my skinhas always been.
And, surprisingly, I loved it,skin loved it, and so we
launched our beauty line.
And so we launched our beautyline and now we have like five
different beauty lines and Ilook back at pictures of myself

(27:11):
before Wholesome Hippie, and Ilook older then than I do.
Now it's really, really changedmy skin.
Now, if you, none of us tookcare of our skin, I mean we were
lubing up with baby oil andlaying out, like you know,
pieces, you too, yeah, we didnot take care.
Nobody told us to take care ofour skin.
These kids today, my kids, are11 and 14.
They have more skincare than Ido, and so they're they're

(27:31):
learning early.
We did not, and so sun damageand age spots and you know,
wrinkles and fine lines and allthe, all those things.
I'm like we didn't have any ofthat.
So it was, my skin was rightfor it.
Okay, it was.
It was begging for me to takecare of it, and so, and now
people are always like, oh myGod, what do you use?
Your skin is so good.
I'm like I don't use anythingbut wholesome hippie, that's it.

(28:00):
I use nothing but um, and Ilove it.
We have some incredible productsfor pain.
We now our most viral productis our magnesium infused
products, which are for anxietyand stress and pain and nausea
and muscle cramps and restlessleg and on and on.
It does they do a multitude ofthings, and so, and we just
continue to come out with we.

(28:20):
Now we're at a point we havesuch a robust lineup that we, we
only bring new products.
Point, where we have such arobust lineup that we, uh, we
only bring new products in if wecan make them either better or
we can introduce a product thatwe see a need for and so, uh,
that's, yeah, it's, I love it,I'm, I, it's behind me here,
this is all my Okay.
Yeah, I see.

I see the bottles .
A lovely, lovely display there.
This is our, our this is our.

This is our newest product.
This is our newest product.
This is our Pain Plus.
So we just recently came outwith so this is really for
people and it's for anybody, butI was thinking of our age
demographics.
So we created a product thathas not just magnesium and
arnica and turmeric for pain andinflammation, but we added
glucosamine and chondroitin andMSM for your joints and your

(29:03):
cartilage and we neededsomething for bone support, not
just in turn, like a lot ofpeople just take pills and
that's fine, but when you takeinternally, take vitamins and
supplements, your body doesn'tabsorb that much of it.
And so topical or transdermalmagnesium or other minerals and
vitamins, your body can absorb alot more, and so we created

(29:25):
this, and this product isamazing.
It's a cooling pain relief, soit goes on.
It has menthol in it andcapsaicin and a bunch of good
stuff.
Anyway, that's our newestproduct and probably will be our
next viral product because it'sso good.
It took me a year to get thatformulation right, but I wanted
something that would take ourcurrent magnesium pain blend

(29:49):
that we had and make it better,and so something because I
noticed as I went into menopause, the joint pain is just brutal,
like I.
That was something I wasn't,you know, prepared for, and so I
was like we need something tosupport our joints and also tack
pain and you know.
So, yeah, we, that's what we doWholesome, hippie, and again,
I'm very proud of the fact thatwe make it all.

(30:10):
It's all natural, cleaningredients.
We have a very long list ofno-nos things we won't use in
our products and we make themall in small batches, so they're
super fresh and, yeah, we'resuper proud of it.
That's awesome.

I love that you have this personal hand in
everything which keeps thecompany so honest in their
approach Very important to me,yeah, so cool.
And the other thing that I'mseeing here is I'm seeing the
Real Slim Sherri your persona,if you will that I see on social

(30:46):
media, and then I'm seeingSherry the business person, and
it's really it's.
It's it's funny because whenI'm live.

I'm live on TikTok or something for
my business.
I'll be on my own business pagelive talking about our products
or something, and people whofollow me will come on and be
like, oh my gosh, like what.
I've never seen this side ofyou, or they're.
You know they're, they're like.
They're like where's SlimSherri?
And I'm like she's here, shejust.
I'm working, I have a job, Igot bills to pay people.

Right, oh yeah, and then you just won the Cheer
Choice Award.
I cheer of the year.
Yes, I did Okay, so hugecongratulations, thank you.
That's such an honor.
What did that mean to youpersonally and professionally?

I mean, I still am in shock, to
be honest.
I you know I was up for three.
So, first of all, cheer ChoiceAwards.
My company's involved whereit's a charity event, and my
company's been involved withthem now two years in a row.
We're a sponsor and we lovewhat they're all about.
And so last year when I firstgot involved, I'd never heard of
them.
A friend of mine told me aboutCheer Choice and what they do is

(31:57):
honor creators.
It's for charity, but theyhonor creators for all that they
do.
And it's for charity, but theyhonor creators for all that they
do.
And I was like, oh, this isreally cool, I want to be
involved.
And so I did.
And then this year and you know,it's all, you're nominated by
the people.
It's a people, people's award,essentially.
And so I got nominated forthree different categories and

(32:18):
the first two I was like, okay,I can, I can see these comedy
novice.
I was like, all right, I'lltake that.
Then it was motivational,inspirational.
I was like, okay, sure, I cansee that.
Chair of the Year surprised meand I was like, now that, come
on, people.
Like in my mind, I was likethis is for, this is an award
for people that are like reallydoing life changing shit.

(32:40):
Okay, these are people that arelike out there just making a
huge difference in the world.
I there's no way I'm going towin that award.
That's exactly where I was inmy brain.
I'm.
There's no way I'm going to winout the other two.
Sure I can, I can, I can acceptthat again.
I mentioned earlier internalcritic not worthy.
Most of them I have had in my.

(33:01):
I have imposter syndrome hadfor a long time, so I had a
really hard time with that one,and so I was also because my
company's involved.
I was a presenter in multiplefor multiple awards during the
ceremony, during the event, andso I was actually backstage as
getting ready.
Like they pulled all thepresenters in the back when they
started announcing that, uh,the cheer of the year, and so so

(33:23):
I that was the only one out ofthe three, because you get
knocked.
So there's like this votingseries that goes on, and so I
eventually got knocked out ofcomedy and motivational
inspirational.
I was out, so I wasn't in thetop five and so but I was still
in the top five for cheer of theyear, which I was like there's
no way I'm gonna win this award,so I didn't even prepare a
speech.
I was not, I didn't nothing, andso I'm in the back with

(33:46):
everybody else when they'reannouncing this one.
And then they said my name andI was like I didn't even realize
that they were, that that wasthe award they were announcing.

They're like pushing you out on the stage.

They were basically shoving me out
onto the stage and I was like Iwhat?
I'm not ready, I didn't preparea speech, I'm not ready, and so
it was wild and I'm so humbledand so it's still in shock that
there it's a lot for me tointernalize.
I hear it from peopleconstantly, what I do for them,

(34:18):
like that I somehow impact theirlife or have changed their life
.
Or in some cases I mean peopletell me I've saved their life
and so those things I don't takethat lightly.
But there's a part of me that'slike when I was up for cheer of
the year, I was like I'm notmaking a difference, I just
swear a lot.
I mean that was what I said inmy acceptance speech.
I was like this cheer of theyear, this makes no sense.

(34:40):
If you have are giving me anaward for the most swear words
in the year I could make, thatwould make sense to me.
I can rationalize that in mybrain.
But this award, it just, youknow it felt so surreal and it
said it definitely, even thoughI'm still, you know, in shock a
little bit about it, I have hadto step back and like really
recognize what I am doing andthat you know, I don't you know,

(35:03):
to have 5 million followers.
Sure, that's a huge number andyou feel like I just feel like I
go out into this void, like Imake a video and it just goes
out into this void.
But winning that award reallybrought it into perspective for
me of, like, how finite thatreally is.
You know how micro that can be,that it's not this huge void,

(35:23):
that I am reaching one video ata time, you know, and touching
how micro that can be, that it'snot this huge void, that I am
reaching one video at a time,you know, and touching people's
lives.
And I never really had I reallythat I had thought I mean I've
had those moments.
People come up to me and tellme, you know, whatever their
story and I've met them, youknow, randomly, in public, and
they'll tell me that I, yousaved my life or they'll send me
a message.
But it wasn't until that momentthat I was like wow, I really

(35:45):
had not thought about whatimpact I was making, that I
would win an award like that.
It just blew me away.

I mean you really don't know right, you don't
know who you're touching on, aday or a moment when that person
needed to hear your messagemost and that kind of gives you
that incentive, Sherri, to keepgoing right.

I mean it is the reason I keep
doing it.
I mean it's you know, it's noteasy.
If I've been.
I've been doing it three and ahalf years now, and there's
times where I'm like I don't, Idon't feel creative or I don't
feel, I don't feel inspired, youknow, to make a video or
whatever.
But I show up because they showlike they're, they show up for

(36:30):
me, those people that follow me,they look that tell me like I
have to have my daily dose, Ihave to have a Sherry video
today, or whatever.
They show up for me and so Icontinue to show up for them and
I will continue to do thatuntil I can't anymore.
And so I do because there arepeople that need it.
And, like I said, it's not easy.

(36:52):
Some days I'm like right nowI'm writing a book, so I'm like
I'm pouring all my creativityinto a book.
I don't have anything left over.

Okay, all right.
So let's let's talk about this,because you're bringing up a
very important topic that I talkabout a lot on my podcast is
finding balance.
So here you are 5 millionfollowers.
You are starting a Gen X tour,which we'll get to here it's
already.

Sherri Dindal (The Real S (37:20):
we're not starting, it's already
underway.

Okay, it's okay.
So I I didn't know, I didn'tknow if you already had shows
going.
You've got your WholesomeHippie and and now the book.
So how do you find balance?
How does Sherri kind of keepthings together?

Well , I have a really amazing
partner that helps me with that.
I would not be able to do it.
I don't.
I don't manage my reallyamazing partner that helps me
with that.
I would not be able to do it.
I don't manage my schedule.
So that helps me tremendously.
Somebody else isn't.
Let's just tell me where to beand where to go, but it's not
easy.
I have two young kids still athome too.
So I'm entrepreneur, mother,comedian, wife, influencer, if

(38:03):
you will, creator, whatever youwant to call it.
It's a lot, and so I have hadto like.
Right now I am pouring a lot of.
I can strike a balance.
So there's times where I havereally my bandwidth allows me to
turn out multiple videos and Ican put out a lot of new content
.
But now I'm three and a halfyears in, and for a long time I

(38:23):
would not allow myself to go aday without posting a video.
Like I was so strict with likeI refused.
I'm like nope, I have to post,I have to post.
I've gotten a little morelenient with myself and gave him
my given myself permission tobe like.
It's okay if you take a daywithout posting, but I also am
in that mindset of like, if Idon't show up, other somebody
will.

(38:43):
Somebody's going to show up,you know, for you.
So I again, I don't take thatlightly the people that do look
forward to me.
So I've learned, though, thatI've three and a half years of
content now, that it's okay torepurpose some of my content
like kind of like reruns.
Somebody said it to me one daythey're like you don't, you're
making new content every day,and I was like yeah, what else
am I supposed to do?
They're like you have a wholecatalog of videos.

(39:07):
Just repost them, and so I I doaccept that I have to be.
That takes time because, uh,tiktok and Instagram, and now
Facebook, don't want usrepurposing videos.
They, they, they give usstrikes for, uh, inauthentic
content.
They call it or unoriginalbecause it's a video that
already exists.
So they penalize us, they'llget strikes.

(39:30):
You could lose your account evenand so I have to basically take
a video and do something to it,whether put Zoom effects on it
or change the captions or changethe music.
I have to do something.
It's not like I can just postit and go.
So there's still some work, butit doesn't take the brain
capacity from me.
It allows me to do that.
So I've given myself permissionto repost content, and for a

(39:53):
long time I wouldn't let myselfdo that.
I would not, and so now it'slike people who are discovering
you today.
This was how they put it intoperspective.
So what if somebody saw thatvideo six months ago or a year
ago?
What about the person thatnever saw it, right?
So you know you reposting it'slike they're like, or think
about television, like in yourfavorite show in the seasons

(40:14):
over.
If you want to keep watching it, what do you do?
You watch the reruns and I waslike I never had really put that
into my, into my, uh, allowedmyself to see it that way, and
so now I do, and so I, I managemy bandwidth somewhat through,
you know, allowing myself astretch of time, if you will,
maybe a week, where I'm okaywith like okay, I've got these

(40:34):
videos I'm going to repost.
I'm going to only do one or twonew videos this week and I can
repurpose that time to pour intomy book or pour into my brand
or whatever I've got, you know,pour into the tour, cause I've
got tour dates coming up, and soit's not easy though I, but it
keeps me going, it keeps mealive.
This is what breathe.

(40:55):
I've always been a big believerof like when you, when, when
you stop dreaming and you slowdown you, you stop moving.
I mean I even have it tattooedon the inside of my arm keep
moving.
When you stop, that's when theend is near.

So I just keep moving you know I love this
because I feel the same way.
I'm not finished yet, no, justget started.
I know I feel like I did thecorporate thing for years and
years and years and now I get todo my own thing.
I retired from the corporateworld a year ago.

(41:30):
I've been doing the podcast foryears, three years but but you
know you, there's alwayssomething else Like I, I, always
I the the goal line keepsmoving.
So, and speaking of the goalline continuing to move, talk
about the Gen X takeover tour atwho's going to be with you and

(41:54):
give us a sense of like, what,what's the mission of the tour?

So , yeah, so it's me.
It's the dad bod veteran, KellyMano, and the professor, Nick
Harrison All four of us Gen Xcontent creators.
I'm the oldest of the four, so,but I'm not the adultiest, but
the oldest of the four.
We got together so I had done acruise back in 2023, just

(42:19):
myself, with some fans, and Iwanted to do it again.
It was such a great experience,I had such an amazing time and
I was like, oh, I want to dothis, but I didn't want to be
the only person I wanted tobring.
I was like somebody else.
I can't be the only person.
That's the center of attention.
That's a lot right To be thesort of the person and so I had.
When I was at Cheer ChoiceAwards last April, I met Nick
Harrison and I was like, dude,we should do something together.

(42:41):
Like you know, we should dosomething.
And so we got talking aboutthat and I was like, oh, you
know, Kelly Mano and I hadtalked about a year ago about
doing something together.
Let me reach out to her and seeif she's still interested.
And then we folded the dad bodveteran in and we decided we
were not planning a tour, wejust decided we were all going
to meet up in Nashville lastyear, which we did last Labor
Day, met up in Nashville.

(43:03):
And we would do, you know, wewould just tell.
We essentially in the beginning, told people well, we're just
going to tell people that, hey,we're going to be in Nashville
if you want to come see us,cause people, people want to
meet us, people want to see us.
And I figured that out when Iwas.
I was in Europe last year fortwo weeks and I was out of the
country.
I'm in Rome, I'm in Greece, I'min Italy.
I had 100 different people atleast come up to me while I was

(43:24):
out of the country and many ofthem were just like are you on
tour?
How can I see you?
Are you on stage?
And I was like, no, I'm none ofthat, and so anyway, I'm not a
comedian, and so anyway.
But I'm not a comedian, I'm notan actress, I'm not any of that
.
So anyway, you are now.
Yeah, so, long story short, wewere just going to go to
Nashville and like, hang out fora weekend, that was the plan.

(43:45):
But then Nick was like, well,if we're going to be there, you
know well, actually it was thewives that got in, they were
like, if you guys are going tobe going to Nashville and doing
this, you're, you're, you're.
You guys are going to have tolike, make it more than just
like a get together.
You're going to work.
It has to be work.
They always work us like dogsand so we were like, fine.

(44:06):
So we Nick's like, well, let'sdo a comedy show.
And I was like I'm not doingthat, I'm not a comedian, I've
not, I'm not, I don't, I'venever done this.
He's like I'm not that funny.
And anyway, they sucker me in.
Me, nick, or no, me, John andKelly, none of us had ever done
standup comedy ever.
Nick had done some, but none ofus had ever done it.
So we go to Nashville thatweekend and we get on stage.

(44:27):
We go to a little tiny littlecomedy club holds a hundred
people.
We sold out.
We had to do two shows becausethey it's sold out super fast.
And then, uh, we were like,well, okay, we should, probably
maybe we should do another city,because that sold out so fast
for a lot of people that werelike, oh my God, I missed it,
and they were disappointed.
And so we didn't want todisappoint people.
So we went to Cleveland inNovember and did a show there at

(44:50):
a dueling piano bar which wasreally really cool.
And then after that we were,like that, sold out.
And so we're like, well, nowwhat do we?
We?
We probably need to plansomething we should.
So we decided we were going todo the old person tour, which is
that we would do a show everycouple of months, not not, like
some most comics go out and theydo, you know, weeks out and
they're doing multiple shows.

(45:11):
I was like I am not doing that,I have zero desire to do that.
So we did Atlanta in January,we did New Orleans in February,
we did Vegas in April CheerChoice Awards.
We were there, we did a showwhile we were there and now June
1st we'll be in St Louisplaying.
So we went from a hundredseater in Nashville to St Louis

(45:35):
is 2100.
Oh my God, that's so exciting.
And so when this is all inunder a year, we're like what is
happening with my life?
So we and we are booked out,we've got multiple shows.
Now St Louis, and then we'redoing, I think, atlantic city,
cincinnati, south Carolina, dc.

(45:57):
You're coming to Cincinnati.
Yeah, I'll be in CincinnatiAugust 9th at the Hard Rock, I
live in Cincinnati.
Lady, I used to live inCincinnati, really.
Yeah, I lived there for almostfive years.
My first, not my first, mysecond child, my middle child,
my oldest girl.
She was born in Cincinnati.
Where did you live?
I lived over in AndersonTownship.

I've lived there.

Well , I was technically with them
still so down on the other sideof the freeway there of what is
that?
Oh, Beechmont, Beechmont, thankyou.
I was like it's not Belmont,Beechmont.
I lived right off of Beechmont.

That's so funny.
It's such a small world.

She was born at.
Was it Bethesda-huh?

yeah, she's born at Bethesda up in by Milford.
Oh my gosh, that is so funnythere, August 9th.
Uh play, we're playing the HardRock, I'll, I'll be there, so
that's awesome.
Why, why do you think it'simportant, sherry, that gen x
women are in the room and and Isay in the room like this,
laughing, connecting and beingseen?

Oh , I think you know.
First of all, we have been soGen X women we're I'll back up.
One of the big reasons is thatwe are at a point in our life
where I think a lot of usbelieve and a lot of this is the
storyline that has been handeddown to us that you get to a
certain point in your life andyou are washed up, past your

(47:27):
prime.
You know you're invisible.
Women at this age, for the mostpart in the past, become
invisible, and so I feel like alot of us need to be in that
room because we're not dried up,we're not past our prime, we're
just getting started.
And to be in a room withlike-minded women not just women

(47:49):
, there's men there too, but 80%, I mean the truth is, 80% of my
demographic are female is thatyou need to find a community,
and that's what I think has madenot just myself, but the other
three that I'm on tour with hasmade us so successful is that we
have built this community, andso I think the reason why it's

(48:10):
so important to be in the roomis to understand that we're just
getting started.
You can reinvent yourself at anypoint in life.
You're not too old, you're nottoo much, you're not.
You know, we've been, for themost part, gen X women and the
women that came before a lot ofus.
We've just, we were taught tobe quiet and we've been quiet,

(48:31):
we've kept our heads down and,um, I, you know I'm at the point
where I'm like fuck, that I'vebeen quiet for far too long.
I, you know I'm at the pointwhere I'm like fuck that I've
been quiet for far too long.
I, I, you know, I, we, we areit's time, it's our time, it's
our time to be heard.

You know, as you were saying this and you saw me
nodding, cause I, I'm, I'magreeing with everything you're
saying is that we don't have tobe our mothers.

No , those women, those women
especially, um, like my mom,she's an older boomer, okay, she
was born in like 52, I thinkyou know they were taught to be
quiet very much Women.
Women had a place, right, theyespecially that generation is in
in the silent gen.
Before that, those women had aplace.
And you know, here I come along, I'm tattooed, I cuss like a
sailor, I've got blue hair, I'mbasically every big middle

(49:21):
finger you can possibly shout atthe world Okay, that's me and I
refuse to be quiet anymore.
I refuse, and that's not loudin a bad way, it's just.
I want to encourage women of allages to take up space we have.

(49:42):
We have shrunk ourselves andmade ourselves small all our
lives and we are.
It's just like you know what.
There comes a point where thatgets old, and then the mask I
talked about earlier, it getsheavy and you just are like whip
off and along with your clothes, because we have hot flashes
now and we're just sick ofeverybody's shit and we're just.

(50:03):
You know, it's like this is ourtime.
It's our time.

That the bullshit meter is.
Well, mine is broken Finally.
Well, it's mine's finally honedwhere I'm like oh you're
bullshit.

My , my give a damn meter is okay.
The bullshit meter, yes, it isright on, it is, it is dialed in
, but my give a damn is bustedand, uh, I think a lot of us,
that's you know, especially whenyou get for a lot of women when
they hit midlife, unlike me, alot of us.
Take you, for example your kidsare already gone, all right,

(50:35):
they're out of the home.
Your emptiness, you might endup.
Some of us.
You, for example, your kids arealready gone, right, they're
out of the home.
You're empty nest.
You might end up.
Some of us.
You know, a lot of divorce ratesare ridiculous at this age,
right, because a lot of women,when their kids leave, they're
like I actually don't like youand they get divorced.
Or they, you know, they'restuck in this marriage with a
stranger because they've beenraising kids for so long and

(50:55):
suddenly you and your spouse arestuck with each other and
you're like, do we even likeeach other anymore?
Like you're just, you know, andso it's trying to figure out
where you land right now for alot of women at this age, and
you know it's.
I just want to empower women tobelieve that you're never too
old for anything.
You're never too old, like Isaid, to reinvent yourself.
I mean, for me, I of this was onmy bingo card.

(51:17):
Okay, yes, my businesses wereon my bingo card, but none of
this other stuff.
This all came about from justbeing real, just being me.
The whole social media worldpeople think it's all trends,
dance trends.
I never followed that, becauseI'm not a trend girl, I'm just a

(51:39):
truth girl, and so that's whatI think people connect with is
somebody who just speaks truthand I don't sugarcoat it.
I'm not pretending to besomething that I'm not, and I
think that's refreshing for alot of people.
And that's the only reason Ithink this happened was just
because I opened my big mouthand I was truthful.

Oh, I knew this conversation was going to be fun
.
This is so good.
One last question With how busyyou are, what is one of your
self-care non-negotiables?

I don't really have many.
I have one big one and that'sthat at some point in my day,
preferably in the morning, Ilike to be completely by myself
with just a cup of coffee, maybe, if it's in the evening, maybe
an alcoholic beverage, whatever,something that's just me and
whatever I'm drinking, to justbe with myself, to just be with

(52:36):
my thoughts, to be alone,disconnected from anybody else's
energy, and just be with me.
And that's always.
I like it because it allows meto clear my head, allows me to
ground myself, and that's sortof that's a daily for me, and
right now it won't.
That's about to change forsummer, because my kids, when
they're in school, that's my, assoon as they're at school,

(52:58):
that's my time.
Like I take a little bit oftime with just my cup of coffee
in the morning and I'll sit andI just reflect.
It's like I like to justreflect on my week, my day, what
do I?
You know, whatever, whereverI'm at energetically, and with
the kids being with summer,they'll be up and be in my space

(53:19):
and so I, I will be claiming myspace, which is, like I said,
sometimes it might be at night.
You know, I don't get a chanceto do it in the morning because
I have somewhere to be.
I will still take it, whether Igo sit out on my back patio or I
go sit in my massage chair justby myself, everybody.
If people come in and say whatare you doing, I'm like leave me
alone, get out of my space.
I need like 30 minutes, but Iprefer like an hour.

(53:42):
But that's my big.
I don't need much beyond that.
Self-care wise, that's like mybig one.
It allows me to really justground myself and clear, like I
said, all whatever I got.
If I you know negative energyaround me, I tend to clear that
and then I can tackle whatever Ihave coming up.

So, ladies, if you're listening, I want you to
hear what Sherri just said.
It's okay for you to need yourspace, set those boundaries
where, if you need that time,you want to be, that, be a loner
for half hour, even if it's 20minutes, it's okay.
You know we gotta listen to thesignals that you're giving

(54:20):
yourself, right, and, uh, honorthat.

It is, it is okay, it's giving
yourself.
You know, as a motherespecially a mom, I mean, I've
raised three kids since anybody,that's right.
You know that there's, there's,there's a.
I did.
There was a time I couldn'treally have that cause you're,
when your kids are little, theysuck the life out of you, right,
in every way.

(54:45):
They need everything, and sowhen I finally got my kids were
old enough where I could reclaimthat time for me, it was so
good for my mental health, sogood for my physical health, and
so they respect it, and so itis okay to set those boundaries.
I think it's really important.
A lot of women don't think thatit's okay for them to take that
time for themselves and becausethey either feel guilty because
of their children or theirspouse or whatever, it's more

(55:06):
important.
It's better for my family toallow me that time than it is to
deny me that time, because I'min a better place, better
mindset, just a better placewhere I can give more of myself
to them than I can if I'mdrained, and so that's how I
reset, that's my recharge.

Amen, yeah, love it.
