They explore:

• How to recognize the voice of your inner critic, and stop mistaking it for truth
• What changes when joy becomes a non-negotiable
• The magnetic power of owning your desires and releasing the performance

In this episode, Wendy talks with Laura Sawosko, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, about choosing honesty over omission, integrating faith and identity into her work, and the liberation that comes from letting people truly see you. Laura shares how her new album Not What I Do became a declaration of all the parts of herself she once kept hidden—and why she’s no longer willing to play small.

They explore:

•  The subtle pressure to keep the “best parts” of yourself private
•  What it means to bring your full identity—faith, sexuality, hometown roots—into your creative work
•  How honesty in midlife can feel both terrifying and wildly freeing

This is a must-listen for any woman who’s been editing herself to stay safe—and is finally ready to be seen.
