Welcome! I’m Dr. Cheryl Russell, and I believe midlife isn’t the end of your story — it’s the launch pad for your next chapter.
I hold a PhD in Human Capital Development and spent my career leading statewide consulting teams, mentoring thousands of business owners, and evaluating programs at the national level. But at 49, my own life flipped upside down — I lost my husband, became an empty nester, and walked away from my C-suite job. I had to completely reinvent myself.
On this channel, I share tools, strategies, and inspiration to help women over 50 find clarity, confidence, and joy as they navigate reinvention. From personal stories to practical guidance, you’ll find the support you need to create a life you truly love.
