In this episode, Kelly & Tish are joined by Wendy Faith (previously Wendy Piersall) pioneering mom blogger, creator, and business advocate whose journey of transformation is as powerful as it is inspiring. Wendy opens up about her recent reinvention after divorce, the unraveling and rebuilding of her personal identity, and her courageous decision to truly embrace her authentic self at 56.
Listen in as Wendy shares the incredible story of navigating loss – of marriage, career, and even family relationships – only to discover new wholeness, peace, and love on the other side.
We dig into what it means to let go of lifelong roles, challenge codependency, confront old stories, and finally trust ourselves enough to step boldly into a new chapter.
Whether you’re facing big changes or simply questioning your next step, this episode is a warm, honest reminder that it’s never too late to choose yourself and create a life that truly fits.
About Wendy
Wendy Faith (previously Wendy Piersall) is a former city councilwoman, two-time business founder, and bestselling author who walked away from outward success to reclaim her wholeness. After decades of people-pleasing, burnout, and perfectionism, she came out as a late-in-life lesbian and now works as a trauma-informed coach helping LGBTQ+ and women entrepreneurs unfreeze, unmask, and build authentic, sustainable businesses. Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and finally feeling safe enough to be seen.
