For most of my life, I loved being the one cheering everyone else on.
I’d send encouraging texts, celebrate people’s wins, and show up like their biggest hype girl. But deep down, I was craving that same kind of cheerleader. Someone to notice me, to tell me I was doing a good job.

And if I’m being honest, that need for validation caused tension in my marriage, exhaustion in my hustle, and an emptiness I couldn’t shake.

Everything changed the day a mentor looked me straight in the eyes and said,

“Wendy, it’s your job to cheer yourself on. It’s your job to be your biggest cheerleader, no one else’s.”

That truth completely shifted how I show up for myself and my life.
In this episode, I’m sharing the exact process I used to stop seeking external validation and start building my own home court advantage.

I’ll walk you through my C.H.E.E.R. framework: the five simple habits that helped me learn how to celebrate myself, honor my progress, encourage my heart, express my dreams, and reflect on how far I’ve come.
