About Cheryl Sutherland

Cheryl has always loved possibilities, so it made sense that she was drawn to personal growth. After achieving amazing things professionally, at 23 she realized what she'd been told success never felt like success. Owning a house, car, and money brought no joy, always chasing more. Personal growth changed her perspective. She dismantled the belief of "I am not enough" and saw how it affected every area of her life.

Now, she helps others build confidence and create fulfilling lives through mindfulness workshops, courses, products and services, impacting thousands of people. She is the founder of Please Notes, a line of guided journals, planners and notebooks to inspire confidence.
