Sheridan Stewart is an Australian broadcaster and author of I Am Enough – the book which recounts a 90-day challenge to find contentment through spending less, feeling happier, and focusing on the things that matter the most. On this episode of the Formidable Over Forty podcast, Sheridan shares the story of how she changed her approach to life.
