Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and anyone navigating life after divorce, burnout, or big transitions. If you're ready to shed cultural expectations, reconnect with your true self, and put your joy first—you’re in the right place.

In this episode, Wendy is joined by Ashley Hamic, rare disease mom and founder of Wishwear Accessories. What started as a wheelchair blanket for a friend has grown into a joyful, functional brand, proving that when you say yes to yourself, beautiful things unfold.

They explore:

• Why joy needs to be planned, engaged with, and celebrated
• How rare disease families find meaning in the smallest glimmers
• The power of setting intentional rhythms in your relationship

This is a conversation about embracing chaos, leaning into what you love, and discovering that if you set the intention for joy, it will come to you. Press play and discover how contrast can deepen your capacity for joy.
