Sherita Douglas is a disabled Air Force veteran, soft-spoken but passionate about her mission, which she calls her dream — helping fellow veterans, especially those transitioning back to civilian life, overcome troubles and live a happier life.
It happens through a program called “Intentional Living,” and it’s based on a book by the same name by world-renowned leadership expert John Maxwell. Douglas is a certified personal development associate with the program.
At her home in Port St. Lucie, Douglas explains.
“It was around the anniversary of my (military sexual) assault, and I was depressed,” she says. “I had heard of John Maxwell, and enjoyed reading his books. When I heard about ‘Intentional Living,’ I took the 7 Day Experiment.
“It was the first time I didn’t feel like a victim — I wanted to reach out. I was inspired to help other vets.”
