“Thriving Thoughts” podcast hosted by Dr. Sherri Yoder

WHAT MATTERS Warren — When Dr. Sherri Yoder opened her thriving therapist practice in Warren County in 2012, she likely would not have predicted that soon she’d have the opportunity to impact people all over the world (not just those who sat on her couch on Chester Street in historic Downtown Front Royal). “I couldn’t sleep at night thinking about how traditional therapy was founded in a diagnostic framework. It wasn’t helping people discover the truth that they had a unique purpose to fulfill. I needed to walk away from tradition so I could speak this truth into the minds of people who would never have come to see me in a clinical psychology setting. I felt compelled to focus on what is RIGHT with people,” shared Yoder.

These days, Dr. Sherri can be found coaching women on developing a thriving thought world, hosting a live video, ‘Off the Couch with Dr. Sherri’ on Facebook (She’s live every Tuesday at 12:30pm with a message on thriving), writing her first solo book, ‘Little Lies Big Truths’, and teaching an introductory human services class at Lord Fairfax Community College.

“Every day, through coaching, writing, teaching, and now hosting a podcast, I get to share my gifts. I get to develop others. I get to be a mirror to them that shows them the passion and purpose they have to fulfill, so they too can thrive. It’s worth every risk I’ve ever taken!”

Her remarkable story is one of uncovering her purpose, embracing her gifts and striving to inspire other women to do the same. She’s recently launched 8 podcast episodes of ‘Thriving Thoughts: Little Lies/Big Truths’ that stream on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. She’s passionate about her newest project, “Featuring every-day remarkable women and giving them a platform to encourage another woman driving in her car or going about her day as she listens…it’s a gift to me. Every day, a woman reaches out to me to tell me how meaningful a particular episode is to her. That’s beyond gratifying. I could never have reached this many women with such a pivotal message, had I stayed on my couch at Chester Street.”

To learn more, read the remarkable stories shared, or nominate someone to be featured in one of her weekly episodes, women are invited to join her closed Facebook group, Thriving Thought Casters. It’s also easy to subscribe to the weekly podcast HERE.

WHAT MATTERS founder, Beth Medved Waller, was a guest on the new podcast. She spoke of the life changes she’s made the past 4 years and a concept that is the basis of a book she’s writing called, ‘Overcoming Abundance’. Her interview can be found HERE. “I was thrilled to experience my first ever podcast interview with Sherri. I was a client of hers for years and used to sit on her couch weeping that I felt lost in my seemingly perfect life. We have both transformed our lives in the 5+ years since then and it felt like I was coming full circle to have the time to chat with her about my journey,” shared Waller.

A note from Dr. Sherri:

I am convinced that our minds must be equipped with love, crafted with discipline, and transformed with grace to live the life we are intended. Women, including myself, have invested precious energy perfecting an unfit mind, one that is fueled by critique, pessimism, and unworthiness, all of which are adversaries to fulfillment, happiness, and ultimately hope. All women are susceptible to a malignancy of the mind; and all women are uniquely designed, called to a purpose, and deserving of a mind, and life, that thrives.
