Cheryl L. Maloney

When Cheryl Maloney first started blogging in 2009, she was an out-of-work, out-of-shape, over-fifty corporate executive collecting unemployment, questioning her own worth, coping with her husband's scary health diagnoses and beating herself up for the stupid financial mistakes she had made. Is show more that enough baggage? After months of daily writing, Cheryl started posting her thoughts on Facebook. Eventually, she realized that she wasn't alone in her challenges. There were more people dealing with major life issues than she had thought-and by reading Cheryl's posts, they knew they weren't alone, either! Cheryl is passionate about helping others. She continues to blog, share inspiration on the Simple StepsReal Change website and Facebook page along with co-hosting a weekly radio show on Empower Radio. Cheryl and her husband Jack reside near Portland, Oregon with their pets. They enjoy exploring the landscape and small towns of the Pacific Northwest. show less
