Grief doesn’t just change how we feel — it can change how we see family, relationships, and even ourselves.

In this heartfelt episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we talk honestly about sibling grief, complicated emotions after losing a parent, and the surprising lessons that come when families grieve differently. Some people pull closer. Some pull away. Some show up quietly in ways you never forget.

We share personal stories about grace, boundaries, healing, and learning that protecting your peace is not selfish — it’s necessary.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for grieving differently, struggled with family tension after a loss, or realized grief revealed who your true support system really was, this conversation is for you.

Because there’s no “right” way to grieve… only your way.

💛 Healing, humor, and the road ahead.

This week on Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we’re talking about a comment that honestly… stung a little. After our episode joking about the things we swore we’d never do in retirement — early dinners, slowing down, multiple pairs of glasses and all — a viewer challenged us to “get up and move” and stop “acting old.”

But it sparked a bigger conversation… because retirement doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people are living the “go-go” retirement full of travel, dancing, and activity… while others are navigating health issues, finances, grief, burnout, or simply enjoying a slower pace after decades of hard work.

In this episode, we talk honestly about social media assumptions, feeling judged, and why there’s no one right way to grow older. Whether your retirement is extrovert or introvert, active or restful… your journey is valid. ❤️

In this episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we’re talking about all the things we swore we would NEVER do… and somehow, here we are doing them 😄

From eating dinner at 4pm, to shopping at Dollar Tree, to slowing down behind the wheel (sorry to everyone honking behind us)… retirement has a way of changing your perspective in ways you don’t expect.

We also get into:

• Why your daily routine shifts more than you think
• How your spending mindset becomes more intentional
• The “real life” stuff nobody really talks about (hello Icy Hot and multiple pairs of glasses 👓)
• How hobbies change — and why something as simple as watching hummingbirds can bring real peace
• And that moment when you realize… you don’t know today’s music like you thought you would 🎶

This episode starts with a special moment about Sheri and Randy’s 6-year-old great niece, who created her own “podcast” about the show — a reminder that people are always watching, learning, and inspired by what we do.

What we’ve realized is this:

It’s not about getting older…
it’s about adjusting to what actually works for you.

And honestly? Some of the things we resisted the most… ended up making life a little easier.

Retirement health… it’s not exactly what we thought it would be. 😄

In this episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we’re getting real about the health changes that come with life after 50—and having a few laughs along the way.

From everyday aches and pains to the growing list of medications, doctor visits, and those moments where you think, “What’s wrong with us lately?”… we’re talking about all of it.

But this isn’t just about physical health.
We also dive into the emotional side—how these changes can affect your mindset, your energy, and even how you see yourself.

In this episode, we cover:

• The health issues we’re currently dealing with
• The reality of managing medications
• Doctor visits, wait times, and frustrations
• The emotional toll of pain and aging
• And how we’re learning to navigate it all

If you’ve ever felt like your body didn’t get the retirement memo… you are definitely not alone.

So grab a cup of coffee (and maybe your vitamins 😄), and join us for a real, honest conversation about retirement health, aging, and finding humor in the journey.

For 18 years, Randy believed a story that wasn’t true.

He was raised by his dad’s parents… told his mother was gone… and that the life he knew was the only one he had.

But everything changed the day he did something he never did—he checked the mail.

Inside was a letter… from the mother he was told didn’t exist anymore.

In this episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we share the unbelievable true story of how one letter uncovered a hidden past, reunited a family, and changed the course of Randy’s life forever.

This is a conversation about truth, family secrets, second chances, and the moments that quietly rewrite everything.

Because sometimes… the life you were meant to have is just one moment away.

If this story moved you, take a second to follow the podcast and share it with someone who believes it’s too late for a new beginning.

Because it’s not.

Retirement doesn’t always look the way we planned… now what?

In this episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we’re having a real conversation about what retirement actually looks like when life takes a different path. Sheri shares her journey of stepping away from work to care for their mom—and how that meant giving up savings and starting over later in life. Randy opens up about still working, not by choice, but because financial struggles and health challenges made retirement feel out of reach.

We also talk about what so many people are experiencing today: • Living on Social Security • Working longer than expected • Rising costs, including insurance • Moving in with family • And redefining what “retirement” really means

The truth is—retirement isn’t one-size-fits-all anymore.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Is this really what retirement is supposed to feel like?” You’re not alone.

💬 Join the conversation and tell us what your retirement looks like.

Welcome to Sherapy—but not exactly the Sherapy you remember.

In this first episode of Sherapy with Sheri & Randy, we’re talking about real life in this season—retirement, caregiving, starting over, mental health, and finding purpose after 50—and asking the question… NOW WHAT?

Sheri shares her journey through caregiving and loss, while Randy opens up about still working through health challenges and financial realities that didn’t go as planned.

Because retirement doesn’t look the same for everyone… and sometimes life takes a turn you didn’t see coming.

This isn’t the polished version— this is the real one.

💬 If you’ve ever wondered, “What do I do next?”—you’re not alone.

In today’s Five-Minute Breakdown, Sheri takes a powerful, heartfelt look at Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre— a memoir of survival, trafficking, trauma, and the ongoing fight for justice.

Sheri also shares her own vulnerable experience with the book — how it unexpectedly triggered panic attacks, and why stopping was an act of strength, not weakness. With insights from trusted friends who finished the memoir, this episode offers an honest, compassionate, and deeply human look at a story that changed the world’s understanding of abuse and power.

If you or someone you know has experienced trauma, please take care while listening.
Remember: healing isn’t linear, your voice matters, and you’re never alone.

This week on Sherapy with Sheri Todd, we’re diving into something every midlifer has felt at least once…
QR Code Confusion Syndrome.
(Yes, it’s real. No, WebMD cannot help you.)

In this episode, Sheri unpacks our love–hate relationship with modern tech — why everything suddenly requires a scan, how menus disappeared overnight, and why your phone seems to join random newsletters without your permission.

Then it gets even better…
💌 Email: The Musical returns with a brand-new song:
“Dear Sheri: What the QR?!”
A hilarious, Broadway-style tribute to anyone who has ever yelled, “Why won’t this thing scan?!” in public.

🎶 Expect catchy rhymes, tech tantrums, and a chorus you’ll be humming the next time you sit down at a “menu-less” restaurant.
