What if the real glow-up in midlife has nothing to do with wrinkle creams—and everything to do with finally showing up unapologetically as yourself?

Meet Sherri Dindal, better known as The Real Slim Sherri—the blue-haired, tattooed, profanity-positive powerhouse who's become a viral voice for women over 40. With over 5 million followers, Sherri’s raw, hilarious, and brutally honest takes on menopause, midlife identity shifts, and societal invisibility have struck a nerve—and built a movement.

After 26 years in a male-dominated investigative career, Sherri walked away with no backup plan. What followed? A wildly successful boutique, a clean skincare brand tailored for menopausal skin (Wholesome Hippie), and an accidental TikTok empire born out of a post-COVID haze. Oh—and now she’s headlining sold-out comedy shows across the country on her Gen X Takeover Tour.

She never planned this life. She never thought she was funny. And she definitely never expected midlife to be the beginning of everything.

From parenting through “second puberty” (ahem, menopause), to the sacred ritual of quiet mornings with coffee, Sherri's message is refreshingly clear:
 👉 Stop shrinking. Start taking up space.
👉 Midlife is not a crisis—it’s your power source.

🎧 Tune in to hear how she built a brand, a tour, and a loyal following by simply telling the truth.
