Live a satisfying, rich life — That’s the message of this website. BalanceAndJoy.com focuses on meaningful living with a sense of joy and peace–especially at midlife and beyond.

Sheri McGregor is an author and a Life Coach. She holds a Master’s Degree in Human Behavior.  She works with a few clients on an individual basis and is hoping to form some group coaching in 2023.  If you’re interested in working with Sheri McGregor, use the contact form (below) to jot her a note about what you hope to achieve.

Balance and Joy is about the basics: good relationships, hobbies, and meaningful work.

These things bring joy and give purpose. Staying in balance means not getting too hung up on things, or so involved in one thing that other areas suffer in a permanent way. Living a balanced, joyful life means living well and wise.

You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him to find it within himself ~ Galileo Galilei

Life coaches are change agents. So, that’s the spirit infused in much of Sheri McGregor’s work.

You may also be interested in Sheri McGregor’s work to help parents of estranged adult children or learn more about her writing. Sheri’s latest book, Beyond Done With The Crying, recently won a Benjamin Franklin award in the psychology category. Her previous book, Done With The Crying, was a finalist in Foreword Reviews’ Book of the Year contest, and won an award in the Living Now Book Awards in the fall of 2018 (books that change lives). Done With The Crying is useful for parents who seek forward momentum and to transform their loss  into vibrancy, meaning, and a sense of purpose despite estrangement. The next title, Beyond Done With The Crying, came out in late November, 2021 and takes an expansive approach that doesn’t shy away from the hard truths and gritty situations that face parents of estranged adult children. Instead, Sheri McGregor sheds light and guides the way to solutions.

Our time is a gift, and is short. Strive to appreciate this, live intentionally, and help others to do so too. Psalm 90:12 (NLT: Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
