Link To All Things Slim Sherri
What happens when a Gen X woman hits burnout, quits her corporate job without a backup plan, and bets on herself at 43? You get Sherri Dindal — aka The Real Slim Sherri — entrepreneur, content creator, and co-founder of The Wholesome Hippie.
I know I always gush over how honored I am to have each guest on the show, and this episode is not different. And yet it is different. Thank you, Sherri, for your raw, honest, healing conversation. You are an inspiration on many levels!
In this episode, Sherri joins me for an honest, hilarious, and deeply resonant conversation about reinventing yourself in midlife, navigating perimenopause without anyone talking about it, and building a business rooted in purpose — not profit. From creating a magnesium-based Calm Cream for her daughter (that went viral on TikTok) to accidentally becoming a comedian on a 25-city tour, Sherri is proof that your best chapter may still be ahead of you.
We talk about why Gen X craves connection, what it really means to stop performing strength, and why self-care isn't selfish — it's essential. Plus: hot flashes, battery-operated fans, and why a prison sentence sounds less horrifying than you'd think when someone snores next to you.
Topics covered:
- The Wholesome Hippie origin story & the Calm Cream that changed everything
- Perimenopause symptoms nobody warned us about (frozen shoulder, anyone?)
- How to advocate for yourself when doctors won't listen
- Reinventing yourself at 40, 50, or beyond — it's never too late
- The Gen X Tour: real humor from real lived experiences
