Seeking Happy, Finding Joy | Christian Women 50+ | Faith & Purpose
Hey friend — welcome to Seeking Happy, Finding Joy, a podcast for Christian women over 50 who have a stirring in their heart that there is more to life than simply surviving the hard stuff.
Maybe life doesn't look quite like you thought it would by now. You've experienced loss, disappointment, unexpected change, or choices you wish you would have made differently. Maybe the roles that once defined you have changed, you're wondering what's next, or you know God is calling you forward — but you're not sure what moving forward looks like.
There IS more ahead. Because God is not finished with your story.
I'm Sherry Shipley, Christian life coach; and I believe some of life's hardest storms can become the very places where God rebuilds us — stronger, wiser, more courageous, and deeply rooted in Him.
Here we'll have honest conversations about faith through hard times, your identity in Christ, finding purpose after 50, starting over, trusting God, releasing guilt and fear, building resilience, and discovering lasting joy — not because life is perfect, but because God is faithful.
We'll dig into biblical truths and practical steps that help you move beyond just getting through life and begin moving confidently into what's next. We'll talk about what keeps us stuck, what God may be asking us to release, and what it looks like to trust Him when we can't see the whole road ahead.
I've learned something about roads.
After losing my husband suddenly, rebuilding my life, enduring another devastating loss when Hurricane Ian destroyed much of my home, and navigating plenty of unexpected turns along the way, I know what it feels like when life takes you somewhere you never intended to go.
I also know this:
Your past is a place you've been. It does not define who you are or what God wants to do with your future.
We can't always control our circumstances. But with God, we can choose who we become through them.
So if you're ready to deepen your faith, rediscover who God created you to be, find renewed purpose, and boldly step into the life He's still writing — pull up a chair.
Or maybe grab a helmet.
I'm so glad you're here.

Welcome to Seeking Happy, Finding Joy!
Hey friend,
Today's episode is an introduction on why I created this podcast, and a little background information about me.
Do you believe God is calling you to a life of “more” but not sure what that looks like or where to begin?
Are you navigating a big life transition, loss, or facing disappointment because life doesn’t look the way you expected?
Are you questioning your passion or even wondering how to love your life again?
If you’re ready to discover how you can become the strong, confident, resilient woman God created you to be; unafraid to chase your dreams or color outside the lines, you are in the right place!
I’m so glad you’re here and pray this blesses you.
I look forward to walking this journey with you!
xo, Sherry
