Episode Summary:

In this reflective and empowering episode, Wendy Burge guides listeners through the essential practice of self-leadership — the foundation for creating what she calls the conditions for success. Speaking directly to women in the “sandwich generation” — those managing businesses, teams, family responsibilities, and aging parents — Wendy shares a grounded approach to redefining success beyond hustle culture.

Through personal insights and powerful mindset shifts, she explores how true leadership begins within: learning to lead yourself through seasons of change, uncertainty, and renewal. This episode is both a breath of permission and a call to presence — helping you reconnect with clarity, compassion, and confidence so you can thrive no matter what life brings.
