Discovering Your Calling — Strengths-Based Career Clarity for Mid-Career Women
Discovering Your Calling is for purpose-driven women who look successful on paper—but feel unfulfilled in their careers and know they were made for more.
In each episode, you’ll learn how to identify your natural strengths, gain clarity on your next career move, and build a life aligned with your values—without burning out or starting over blindly.
Because when you keep ignoring the nudge for more, you stay stuck in cycles of overthinking, job hopping, and settling. This podcast helps you break that cycle—starting now.
If you are:
- Tired of feeling unfulfilled in your career
- Torn between making an impact and having a balanced life
- Lying awake at night wondering whether to pursue another degree, switch jobs again, or finally start your own business
- Excited by the challenge of something new—but concerned about the risks
You are in the right place.
This podcast is designed to help you tap into your natural talents using CliftonStrengths® (StrengthsFinder) so you can feel confident and energized about your career today—and excited about the possibilities ahead.
Imagine a future filled with purpose and joy—not just in your work, but in your relationships, well-being, and hobbies. This is a journey of self-discovery and intentional growth, and I’m honored to take it with you.
I’m your host, Sheri—former top network marketing leader turned Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. After 25 years in what I believed was my “dream career,” I found myself successful on the outside but deeply unfulfilled on the inside. I knew I was underutilizing my God-given talents—and that something had to change.
I spent three long years navigating uncertainty, following the wrong “experts,” and investing in programs that didn’t align with my values. Eventually, I realized that true fulfillment and sustainable success only come from aligning your natural strengths with your vision and mission for life.
Now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you.
If you’re ready to navigate your strengths, embrace a career pivot, and discover your true calling, this podcast is for you. This isn’t just another self-help show—it’s a guide, a companion, and a source of clarity and encouragement on your journey to purposeful work.
So lace up your shoes, pop in your earbuds, and let’s get going.
Join me on Discovering Your Calling, and let’s create a life of fulfillment, freedom, flexibility, and impact—together.

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.
