Midlife wellness, biohacking, and reinvention—told with integrity

I’m so excited to share that Adrian and I were featured in Pensacola Magazine for our biohacking wellness journey—and specifically our experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at home.

What I appreciate most about this piece is how thoughtfully it was written. It didn’t oversell, sensationalize, or promise miracles. Instead, it told the real story:
• why we started
• what actually changed
• what the data showed (and didn’t show)
• and why we chose an informed, long-term approach to healthspan—not quick fixes

This feature marks a really meaningful chapter in our midlife reinvention story—one rooted in curiosity, evidence, intention, and doing what aligns with the life we want to live next.

Huge thanks to the Pensacola Magazine team for telling this story with integrity 💙

Focus: healthspan, evidence-based wellness, creativity & second acts

Cheryl Russell is a midlife reinvention guide, speaker, and creator helping people over 50 step confidently into their next chapter. After navigating profound loss, love, major career pivots, and more than a few “what now?” moments of her own, Cheryl turned her lived experience into a mission: helping others rediscover clarity, confidence, and unapologetic joy in midlife.

Through coaching, courses, community, retreats, and her Fearless After Fifty YouTube platform, Cheryl empowers people to navigate life transitions, reconnect with purpose, and design lives they’re genuinely excited to wake up to—no matter what they’ve been through or how late they think they’re starting.

Whether she’s leading a breakthrough conversation, guiding a creative reset, or sharing honest, research-backed insights on wellness and reinvention, Cheryl brings a grounded, encouraging, and empowering voice to everything she does.

Her core belief is simple—and contagious:
Your next chapter can be your best one yet.
And she’s here to help you claim it boldly, bravely, and with a little sparkle.

My Mission

My mission is to empower YOU in midlife to embrace your next chapter with clarity, confidence, and unapologetic joy. Through coaching, courses, community, and creative experiences, I help YOU navigate life transitions, rediscover their purpose, and design lives you're truly excited to wake up to—no matter what you've been through or how late you feel you’re starting.

My Vision

I envision a world where YOU over 50 feel vibrant, visible, and wildly fulfilled. A world where midlife isn't a crisis—it’s a catalyst. Where reinvention becomes a rite of passage, and YOU boldly rewrite the rules of what success, happiness, and freedom look like in this powerful season of life.
