YOU'RE SO OVER IT.
The over-thinking, over-doing, over-worrying, & over-efforting.
I’m your host Jen Sherwood and I’ve been there.
A long-time people pleaser and good girl who felt like everyone and everything had to come first – usually leaving nothing for me except exhaustion and the feeling that I wasn’t making anyone happy – most of all myself!
It doesn’t have to be that way. You can live a life you LOVE on your own TERMS.
You’ll hear how lots of others have stopped shoulding all over themselves and started saying yes to what works.
Join me and the other amazing women and create a life that works for you, filled with fun and joy without the guilt and stress.
It may sound like a dream, but I promise it’s possible. Let me show you how.

With unwavering courage, Vanessa took a leap of faith, resigning from her corporate role despite the uncertainties that lay ahead. Supported by her husband's unwavering belief, she embarked on a journey to rediscover her true self and build a life rooted in authenticity.

Leaving Should University With Dr. Jerrica Dodd
Meet Dr. Jerrica Dodd, a remarkable pharmacist and entrepreneur with 24 years of experience. She's the visionary behind Your Pharmacy Advocate LLC, pioneering advocacy-focused care for patients' better health outcomes.
As a sought-after speaker, Dr. Dodd shares her wisdom on stages, guiding women in pharmacy to build impactful businesses. Moreover, she's the proud Executive Editor of PharmaSis Magazine: Celebrating Women in Pharmacy which recognizes the brilliance of women in pharmacy.

That changed when she hit a wall and was confronted with severe burnout.
She had to make the choice of leaving her job - regardless of what others had to say and make her life work for HER, not for what others expected her to do.
Join us in celebrating her incredible journey of leaving expectation behind and dedication to advocating for patient care and empowering women in pharmacy.

Human side of thriving
I’ve been thinking a lot about how there is no one-size-fits-all when becoming whole and beginning to thrive in our lives. There are so many paths, and sometimes there are stumbling blocks —- even when you’re whole, and healthy and happy! The interviews Jennifer does with these incredible women illuminates this so beautifully. She asks all the right questions and her guests are authentic, sometimes gritty, and honest about the hard things that got them where they are, and the beautiful things. It’s inspiring. I love this podcast!
Terrific podcast!
Jennifer Sherwood is a terrific interviewer, inviting her guest to open up and share her story with all of us. As a listener, I felt welcomed into their conversation. The podcast has an excellent flow and rhythm that pulled me in and made me want to really tune in.
Great inspirational information!!!!
Love to hear the stories from these women and how they struggled with what they “should be doing” and how they transformed into creating and living life for themselves, on their own terms. As a man, these stories are completely relatable across gender and help to give insight and inspiration for change!!!
