An epic talk about life lessons and creating your dreams at any age, Sheri is reimagining life in the middle and thriving because of it. When you are able to commit to your own version of radical self-care, gain clarity on what is serving you on your journey, and make room for the things in your life that make you feel good, you can turn your negativity ship around and manifest what is supposed to be happening for you in this life. If you are stuck feeling blue, lonely or not totally in love with your life, Sheri is here to ask you, if not now, when? By making dreaming a part of your daily practice you can harness its power as a quantum act and serve yourself through the constant and deliberate act of going after what you want in life and not settling for anything less. RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Beautiful No by Sheri SalataThe Sheri + Nancy ShowEssentially You Episode #48: How to Create Your Dreams Integrating the Pillar Life Approach with Sheri Salata
