I Choose Healing | Shari Paskel

from Don't Screw Up Your Kids Hosted by Kaleesha Washington Your Parenting BFF

At 26 years old, Shari Paskel received a lupus diagnosis that changed everything. Doctors told her she would likely need medication for the rest of her life. They also warned her that having children could create serious health complications. Instead of accepting that as her only option, Shari made a different choice. She chose healing. In this episode of the Don't Screw Up Your Kids Podcast, Shari shares her journey from lupus diagnosis to remission, the lifestyle changes she made, the role faith played in her healing, and how she learned to prioritize her health, finances, and family. We discuss: • Being diagnosed with lupus at age 26 • Why she chose a different path than the one doctors recommended • The connection between stress and physical health • Nutrition, inflammation, fasting, and wellness • Motherhood after being told pregnancy could be dangerous • Divorce, healing, and resilience • Parenting lessons learned from childhood • Financial literacy and generational wealth • Why health and finances go hand in hand • Raising children who don't need to recover from their childhood Shari also shares details about her upcoming platform, The Midlife Edit, and The Wellth Studio, a community designed to help women improve their health, finances, nutrition, and overall well-being through practical tools, education, and AI-powered support.
