057: Sherry Boesch – Put One Foot In Front Of The Other (Part 2)

This Humana Life

Listeners, you are in for a treat! In Part 2 of Sherry Boesch’s interview, she speaks about her wellness journey. From being 60 pounds overweight to now running marathons Sherry has inspired our team to put one foot in front of the other. She is not a stranger to Weight Watchers or the Couch to 5k wellness approach, but the good ole’ fashion form of cardio exercise called ‘running’ is her endorphin high. What resonated with our team during our conversation was her determination. Sherry is a go-getter, but more importantly, she has encouraged us to get up and ‘go!’ So, lace up your sneakers, pop in your earbuds, open your SoundCloud app on This Humana Life, and get your steps in…we will race you to the finish line!
