Local radio personality, Sherry Taylor, talks about being a female in radio for 30 years, but also midlife and all that comes with that.

Sherry Taylor started in radio when she was 19. Now, 30 years later, she looks back on the changes in the industry, but also being a woman who is about to turn 50. We share laughs, insights and thoughts about how to take care of yourself. Enjoy this fun episode. Here's her bio: Music, community and family! These are the qualities that attracted Sherry Taylor to Z95.1 more than 14 years ago! Her love of sharing those things with listeners is a big part of why she comes back each and every morning 6-10am! When she’s not at work you’ll find Sherry spending time with her kids and grandkids, reading a great book or working on a really bad DIY project at home! Sherry loves to hear from you!

You're wearing the wrong shoes! Learn more about evidence-based OESH Shoes!

Dr. Casey Kerrigan joined us and boy did we get an education on women's shoe wear. Learn about the proper shoe support, or lack thereof, and why it's so important. Plus, you can order your own pair on their website. https://oeshshoes.com/ In our podcast, I reference a great commercial Ford made for International Women's Day. Check it out. https://youtu.be/XrjKDG8gGHI [https://youtu.be/XrjKDG8gGHI] Dr. Kerrigan is co-founder and chair of OESH Shoes. She is a Harvard M.D., an N.I.H. supported biomechanist, and a lifelong runner since her track star days in high school and college. After publishing numerous medical research studies linking traditional women’s shoes to serious long-term health problems and disability, she gave up her coveted position as the first woman-tenured professor and chair in the school of medicine at the University of Virginia, to develop truly healthy shoes for women. Shunned by the shoe industry for her research, she built her own factory and company, OESH Shoes, where she develops not only the shoes but also the machinery, processes, and materials to make them. OESH is recognized by the National Science Foundation for its sustainable zero-waste 3D printing and 3D knitting processes. Making and selling its first batch of shoes in 2011, OESH has a community of thousands of women who believe that fashion should be dictated, first and foremost, by health.

Dr. Kelli Palmer reminds me of the late Maya Angelou. I've felt this way for years. Quiet. Self-assured. Insightful. Peaceful. Profound. Little did I know that Maya was one of the most influential people in Kelli's life. Her mentor, advisor and friend. Kelli spent hours at Maya's knee, soaking her up, and it shows. This podcast is not only filled with insights and grounding, it is a breath of peace and comfort. Come join this delightful journey with a true leader.
