Today we’re getting under the hood of Sherri Snelling a sister, daughter, friend, women’s advocate, corporate gerontologist, “authorpreneur” and founder/CEO of Caregiving Club, a strategic consulting and educational content creation firm with expertise in caregiver wellness, well home design and brain health/Alzheimer’s.
She is the host of the podcast, “Caregiving Club On Air,” producer/host of the unscripted TV show, “Handle With Care,” and author of A Cast of Caregivers – Celebrity Stories to Help You Prepare to Care (2013).
Her new book, Me Time Monday – The Weekly Wellness Plan to Find Balance and Joy for a Busy Life, is coming out this month – August 22 – and it explores the neuroscience behind life balance based on Snelling’s popular educational workshop and webinars, Me Time Monday, for employee resource groups (ERGs) and other organizations. Snelling writes articles for various online news outlets including PBS Next Avenue, Forbes.com and USA Today, and serves as an on-air aging wellness expert for TV and radio news.
She advises Fortune 1000 companies and start-ups in the longevity economy on caregiving and wellness programs as well as on well home and office interior design. She recently built a financial gerontology master’s class program to train wealth advisors at one of the top national financial institutions about financial wellness as we age and take on caregiving responsibilities. She also created a “Caregiver Hub” online discount shopping portal for a client that helps 61,000 employers and 100 million employees to find age-tech and other products and services to help their older loved ones at home – everything from virtual travel to fire and fall prevention at home to robotic pets and adaptable fashion.
Snelling has served on aging and caregiving advisory committees for the White House, the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), Alzheimer’s Association and is currently an advisor to Georgetown University’s graduate school on Health and Aging. She also is a mentor for the Techstars and Melinda Gates’s Pivotal Ventures longevity start-up incubator program.
Snelling has a master’s degree in gerontology from USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and a master’s certification from MIT Sloan School of Management on Shaping the Jobs of the Future – both of which she achieved after age 50. She lives in Newport Beach, California.
