Moving Through Fear
Most of us perceive fear as a hurdle, an emotion to be quashed. But what if we viewed it in a different light? What if we perceived fear not as an enemy but as a guide, a compass leading us to growth and enlightenment? Fear is essentially an in-built safety mechanism in our psyches, an ally that safeguards us rather than our adversary. Matan offered an intriguing outlook towards fear during his discourse with Sheri. He suggested befriending our fears rather than attempting to drive them away, to move 'through' the fear instead of trying to move 'away' from it. This unique perspective of recognizing fear as an inherent part of our nature and a friend rather than an enemy is curiously liberating and empowering in our journey of personal growth.Â

Sheri Miter is a serial entrepreneur. Her first business was selling painted rocks to neighbors when she was 7! This entrepreneurial spirit led her to many failures but also some huge successes, such as a Chimney Cleaning business with her husband Tom, a professional firefighter, and eventually a business as a Mary Kay sales director. While in Mary Kay, Sheri led her team to six-figure years multiple times, and YES, she drove the iconic pink Cadillac for part of her career!
Despite her success as a Sales Director in Mary Kay, Sheri found herself at a crossroads after 25 years. She began to question if this was the path she truly wanted for the next decade of her life. Even after achieving her best year, she felt a sense of weariness and asked herself, 'Is it ever going to be enough?' This internal struggle led her to a brave decision- to step away from her role as a Sales Director and embark on a new journey. This journey led her to become a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach. Today, Sheri has crafted a life she loves, assisting other highly successful women to discover their 'what’s next' career. She is passionate about working with women who have achieved success making the money, but are now eager to make an impact by unleashing their God-given strengths and embracing their true calling!
When Sheri isn’t busy with her clients or recording a new podcast, she cherishes her time with her grandkids and embarks on exciting adventures with her husband. Their escapades often include the beach, biking, or out boats. At the end of a fulfilling day, they savor the beauty of the sunset with a cocktail in hand, a testament to Sheri's belief in enjoying life's journey.
