SHERYL H. BOLDT
A Life Transformed, A Voice of Hope
Sheryl H. Boldt’s journey is one of raw struggles and extraordinary redemption. She has battled depression, eating disorders, and personal loss—yet today, she stands as a voice of hope and proof that God’s healing power can transform even the darkest moments. As a Sales Executive for Wave 94, author of the faith-based blog Today Can Be Different, and faith guest columnist, she uses her platform to uplift, encourage, and inspire.
But Sheryl’s impact goes far beyond the written word. She lives out her faith daily—mentoring women, leading accountability groups, and walking in the truth of God’s transforming grace. “I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, to wonder if life (or I) will ever change,” she shares. “But I also know the freedom of being lifted from that darkness and experiencing God’s incredible love and mercy.”
In this compelling interview with VBD Magazine, Sheryl shares her journey from brokenness to restoration, the inspiration behind her writing, and how faith fuels everything she does.
A STORY OF REDEMPTION AND PURPOSE
Sheryl’s story begins in Sharonville, Ohio, near Cincinnati, where she and her four siblings were born. Her family later moved to Slidell, Louisiana, after her father was offered a promotion with General Electric. She attended Slidell High School, graduating in 1974, and later studied at Louisiana State University for two and a half years before stepping away from formal education to start a family.
However, life took unexpected turns. Her first marriage ended when she faced a period of struggle, battling anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and major depression—challenges that eventually led to a painful separation from her young children.
“I suffered many setbacks, but God’s mercy and grace sustained me,” she says. “I can now testify that I’ve been free from all of that for more than 20 years!”
Sheryl’s story is not just about overcoming personal struggles; it’s about using those experiences to minister to others. “I’m a strong believer in the power of God to redeem me—and my life!” she affirms. “Because of my past battles, I love to tell others about God’s ability to transform and restore lives.”
Today, Sheryl works from home for a Tallahassee Christian radio station, WAKU/Wave 94.1, where she serves as a sales representative, writer and producer of radio ads, including voiceovers. She also leads Women of the Word, a ladies accountability group – and is honored to teach Children’s Church at Lanark Community Church with her husband, Bert.
And when she’s not mentoring, writing, or speaking? You’ll find her enjoying laughing with her husband – and spending time with their (combined) eight perfectly brilliant children and eight grandchildren.
FROM PERSONAL BATTLES TO POWERFUL WORDS
Sheryl’s passion for writing was ignited at an early age as she watched her mother, an aspiring author, pecking away at a Royal manual typewriter. Inspired by her mother’s love for storytelling, she began crafting fiction and non-fiction works, many of which have since been published in respected magazines such as Focus on the Family, CBN, War Cry, Upper Room, Purpose, and Christian Living in the Mature Years.
Her award-winning short story, My Husband Gave Me 30 Days, was featured in the anthology Personal Titanic Moments.
But her most well-known work is her faith-based blog, Today Can Be Different—a space where she shares transparent, hope-filled devotionals that touch the hearts of many.
