Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and those navigating major life transitions like divorce, reinvention, and rediscovery. If you're ready to shed old roles and finally put yourself first, you're in the right place.

In this soulful conversation, Wendy is joined by therapist and grief specialist Emma Tomes for a deep dive into Internal Family Systems, self-leadership, and the powerful (and often surprising) ripple effects of saying yes to yourself. From unburdening old beliefs to embracing every part of who you are, this episode invites listeners to pause, reflect, and reclaim their inner authority.

They explore:

  • How to recognize and work with your “parts”—especially when they’re in conflict
  • Why grief extends far beyond death—and how to honor it in all forms of loss
  • What it looks like to lead your life from self-compassion, not self-abandonment
