She is the vice chair of the Ingham County Parks Board and she’s a founding board member of the Friends of Lansing Regional Trails. She wore the mantle of race director for twelve years at the library, putting on the Run for Reading and the Jingle Bell 5K for women. And in addition to working for that master’s degree at fifty, she also ran her first marathon. She has been in a boat on six of the seven continents. (I absolutely love that already!)Ĭherry has run on all of the seven continents. She loved the construction part of it so much that she says if she could have had a third career, it would have been to become a construction manager. She studied for a master’s degree, which enabled her to become a library director, at which point she had the joy and satisfaction of being a major part of building a big new library for her community. Her name is Cherry Hamrick, and I have a wonderful introduction to offer you, before we get right into that interview with Cherry.Ĭherry Hamrick is based in the United States and was a ballet teacher for twenty years before making a career change into becoming a librarian, for twenty-three years. And today I have a very special guest and she is tuning in with us all the way from the United States. Okay, hello, everybody and welcome to the HeadRightOut Podcast. So without further ado, let’s get into the interview. She’s a woman of much wisdom and an absolute joy to talk to. But hopefully it doesn’t completely detract from the conversation, because it was a wonderful conversation that we had.Ĭherry shares some awesome advice with us about keeping a positive mindset through tough times, which we all get and how best to deal with those problems and how best to deal with a crisis when it hits, as well. So I will have edited out a lot of the long pauses that you get when you have a delay in a call. Once we were reconnected, it was it was a bit better, and although there was some occasional latency there in the audio, we decided to run with it. Our connection was unstable, and we had been completely disconnected at the start of our chat. But please, please make some allowances for the quality here. Now, I have to just say here, a little bit of a thing that has been going on with my internet connection, I think it’s mine, I’m not sure. Her name is Cherry, and she’s going to be taking us through her journey of living an adventurous life. Today, in order to take us on this resilience journey a little bit more, I am talking to a very special lady indeed. To push yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit. My name is Zoe Langley-Wathen, and I am your host, and I’m here to help introduce the idea of doing something that scares you. If you’re here for the very first time, welcome! I hope you’re here to stay.

A splits extraordinaire, avid runner, kayaker, dancer and traveller with a zest for life, challenges and adventures. At seventy-three, she has now recorded a streak of over 500 consecutive days of walking. Yet all she wanted was to climb Kilimanjaro and appreciate running in Africa. At seventy-two she was seriously ill in Tanzania, with the sickness known as the ‘amoeba’. At sixty-five, she faced her shyness to travel alone to Antarctica. Every corner of her life, whether work, play, family or vacation is treated as an adventure.
