GenX Adulting Podcast - Episode 42 - GenX Speaks Series: Sherri Dindal / The Real Slim Sherri

In this episode we welcome Sherri Dindal, aka The Real Slim Sherri. Sherri reflects on her “typical GenX childhood”, that was filled with being feral, drinking from the garden hose and even having her own Hansel and Gretel situation in her neighborhood. A home life that involved alcoholism and the factors that typically go along with it resulted in Sherri acquiring the hypervigilance that so many GenXers have battled with their entire lives. We discuss the parenting styles of GenX, and how many are breaking the cycle by focusing on emotional development. Sherri shares how she has been finding success in the use of EMDR Therapy on her healing journey. We discuss how perimenopause may have played a role in her decision to leave her job as an investigator at 43 and how that decision changed the entire trajectory of her life. Together, Sherri and her wife Christa started their first business, Feather & Vine boutique, which they have now run for ten years. Their second business, Wholesome Hippy, soon followed, and has resulted in so much success that Sherri was recently on Good Morning America! Sherri shares how turning 50 was an awakening for her and another pivotal moment in her life. We learn how a severe battle with Covid led to her third business, The Real Slim Sherri, where she has gained over 6 million followers through her brilliant ability to use humor when discussing even the most taboo subjects, combined with an authenticity that brings comfort to her fans. The Real Slim Sherri led to The GenX Takeover tour, a comedy variety show that she headlines along with three other GenX talents, Kelly Manno, The Dad Bod Veteran and Mr. Professor318. The millennials are also represented by host/comedian Justin Rupple. The GenX Takeover Tour is the perfect example of "you can do anything at any age" and the importance of conquering your fear of being uncomfortable and continuing to challenge yourself. It’s no wonder Sherri recently won the Cheer of the Year Award at the Cheer Choice Awards. The award is given to someone who has done good in the world and helped others, and what an absolutely eloquent honor for all of GenX that someone from our generation, who has a shared story with us and had the courage to take a leap of faith midlife to chase her dreams, won. Whether it was going live during Covid through Feather & Vine to provide some distracting entertainment, or creating a skincare and beauty line that is clean and safe, or showing up daily on social media to offer comic relief as well as an opportunity for her fans to feel seen, or hitting the road with the GenX Takeover Tour to bring a sense of community and joy to people, Sherri has repeatedly shown that she cares, she gets it and she gets us. Many call Sherri “The GenX Queen”, and as much as she so obviously appreciates everything she has and how much she adores her fans, there is no question that being a wife to Christa and a mother to her son and two daughters is the pride of her life. We were absolutely thrilled to have this time with Sherri to hear her story and discuss real issues that are affecting GenXers midlife. Even if you’re not GenX, you will thoroughly enjoy every minute of this episode, and younger generations will learn a lot.
