This podcast is designed to help you tap into your natural talents using CliftonStrengths (AKA StrengthsFinders) so you can be thrilled about your career today and the endless possibilities for your future. Imagine a future brimming with purpose and joy, not just in your work, but in your relationships, well-being, and hobbies. It’s a journey of self-discovery and personal growth that I’m excited to take with you.
I’m your host, Sheri– a wife, boy mom, gramma, and former top network marketing leader turned Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. My journey began in the network marketing industry, where I discovered the power of Gallup’s Clifton Strengths Assessment. While this understanding propelled me to the top, it also revealed the mismatch between my gifts and my career. Despite outward success, I felt the inner turmoil of wasted talents and knew I had to pivot, even though the path wasn’t clear.
I spent three long years navigating this uncertainty, following the wrong “experts,” and investing in courses misaligned with my values. Ultimately, I realized that joy and success in my next career would only come from aligning my natural talents with my life's vision and mission.
From this revelation, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, developing a process to clarify my purpose and align it with my God-given strengths. Now, I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned with you through this podcast!
If you're ready to navigate your strengths, embrace a career change, and discover your true calling, this podcast is for you. This isn’t just another self-help podcast. It’s a guide, a companion, and a source of inspiration on your journey to career purpose and fulfillment.
So, lace up those shoes, pop in your earbuds, and let’s get going! Join me on Discovering Your Calling, and let's create a life of freedom, flexibility, and impact together.

Find Your Calling: What Your 3 a.m. Wake-Up Call Is Trying to Tell You S5E02
Find Your Calling: What Your 3 a.m. Wake-Up Call Is Trying to Tell You
Have you ever woken up at 3 a.m. with your mind spinning — questioning your career, your purpose, or whether you’re meant for something more?
Those quiet middle-of-the-night moments aren’t random.
They’re often the truest whispers of your calling… showing up before the world gets loud again.
In this episode, Sheri explores why these 3 a.m. wake-up calls happen, what they’re trying to reveal, and why so many successful, high-achieving women end up hitting the “snooze button” on the very thing they’re being called to do.
You’ll learn how to separate fear from truth, calm from chaos, and calling from noise — and how to begin answering that nudge without burning your life or career to the ground.
✨ In This Episode, You Will Learn:
🌙 The Power of 3 a.m. Thoughts
Why those early-morning ideas often hold deeper wisdom — showing you who you’re becoming before you fully see it in the daytime.
⚔ Fear vs. Faith
How to tell the difference between the quiet, sacred whisper (“I’m meant for more”) and the loud, fearful voice (“What will people think?”).
🦈 The 3 Saboteurs
Meet the “sharks,” “danger buoys,” and “anchors” that keep you stuck, uncertain, or second-guessing your next step.
🎨 An Introduction to the Portfolio Career
Why building multiple streams of work aligned with your strengths can give you the freedom and security to answer your calling with peace instead of panic.
🪜 A Simple 3-Step Action Plan
A practical, strengths-aligned way to capture your next 3 a.m. idea and turn it into confident forward momentum — without quitting your job or blowing up your life.
If you’ve been feeling restless, craving more purpose, or sensing a shift you can’t quite name… this episode will help you understand why — and what your next right step might be.
