"Sherapy" with Sheri Todd

Irishtoddy Productionssherapywithsheritodd.com
Sherapy is not therapy. It’s Sheri Todd—abuse survivor, caregiver, and queen of finding humor in chaos—sharing real stories about healing, grief, and starting over. She’s not licensed, just life-tested. For the past five years, Sheri was the full-time caregiver for her mom, who recently passed away from Alzheimer’s. That chapter changed her. Now a new one begins. Sherapy is about connection through shared experiences—where laughter and truth go hand in hand. Because even after everything, you can start again. Preferably with a song and a smile.
