When Cheryl Fuhs and her husband decided to leave their traditional jobs and buy a sailboat, despite having zero sailing experience, it wasn’t a midlife crisis. It was a wake-up call. In this episode, Cheryl shares how a simple question sparked a decade-long plan to live with more freedom, more purpose, and way more salt air.
We explore how she went from crafting jewelry as a hobby to founding SS Magpie, a coastal-inspired brand rooted in storytelling, joy, and vacation vibes. Cheryl opens up about navigating setbacks, staying grounded in gratitude, and how holding onto your dream, especially when life gets messy, is often the most courageous thing you can do.
