Join Wendy for the Word of the Year Workshop on Saturday, January 3rd — a 90-minute guided experience designed to help you uncover the word that will anchor your year ahead. We’ll use meditation, journaling, and a beautiful mind-mapping practice to move beyond resolutions and choose a word that speaks to who you’re becoming.

Save your seat here.

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 money coach Hanna Bier for a conversation that goes way beyond mindset work. If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be further along financially—or if affirmations, budgeting, or manifestation haven’t worked for you—this episode offers an entirely different lens. Hanna shares how unresolved energy patterns, generational pain, and unconscious entanglements can block our ability to feel safe with money, and how real healing begins when we stop bypassing the deeper work.

They explore:

• Why mindset, strategy, and affirmations can only go so far when you're still entangled in inherited pain
• What it actually means to "heal your money"—and why you don’t have to relive your trauma to do it
• The difference between money healing and money management (and why we need both)

This is a conversation about energetic healing, generational patterns, and creating a relationship with money that feels safe, supportive, and aligned. Press play and discover what becomes possible when you stop forcing change and start creating safety in your nervous system and beyond.

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 sits down with Meghan O'Malley and Laura Cardwell for a rich, soulful conversation about Human Design—not as a label, but as a tool for returning to the truth of who you are.

Meghan and Laura share how learning their unique designs changed everything—from how they use their energy to how they make decisions, handle conditioning, and create more ease in their lives. Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or already deep in the language of types, authorities, and strategy, this episode offers an invitation to slow down, trust your body, and begin living in alignment with what was never broken to begin with.

They explore:

• Why learning your Human Design is less about information and more about permission
• How different energy types experience burnout, resistance, and clarity
• What happens when you start making decisions from your body, not your mind

This is a conversation about energy, deconditioning, and remembering the version of you that was always there—before the world told you who you had to be. Tune in and discover how Human Design can help you live with more ease, impact, and self-trust.

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 welcomes Dr. Elizabeth O'Brien, UC Foundation professor and author of The Power in the Middle, for a powerful conversation about reclaiming the version of ourselves we knew before the world told us who to be.

After a mentor challenged her on playing it safe, Elizabeth found herself digging through old photo albums, searching for proof that she once knew how to take up space. And there she was—eight years old, mid-swing, mouth wide open, wild and free. That girl didn’t need permission. She just was.

They explore:

• How the behaviors that once protected us may no longer serve us, and how to let them go
• How taking a step back from emotional labor lets others lead the way they need to lead
• Why silence is scary but necessary, and how self-soothing through discomfort is where the real growth happens

This is a conversation about agency, boundaries, and the sacred return to your original knowing.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Dr. Camille Preston, who woke up one day at 4 am with an entire book outline downloaded into her consciousness. After five deaths in five months and a lifetime of accepting lies she was sold about what success should look like, Camille wrote "Living Real," a manifesto for redefining success, presence, and happiness on your own terms.

They explore:

• How tension creates consciousness and why holding it with compassion opens the next level of possibility thinking
• The difference between forcing, resourcing, and sourcing, and why operating from source changes everything
• Why we change more often from pain than pleasure, and how strengthening your container allows you to hold more

This is a conversation about building the capacity to feel the full range of life, dismantling the thought system based on fear, and trusting that when doors start opening after you say yes, something is meant to come through you.

In this episode, Wendy talks with Jill White, former educator turned business strategist and mentor for spiritually-driven women. Jill shares her journey of leaving a successful career in school leadership to build a business that aligns with her values, and helps other women do the same. Through faith, reinvention, and deep inner work, she’s learned how to turn purpose into a sustainable path that supports both impact and rest.

They explore:

• How to recognize when life (or faith) is nudging you toward reinvention
• The courage it takes to leave a successful path and trust where you’re being led
• What it means to build a career and life that reflects your true calling

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about letting go of “shoulds,” honoring your calling, and creating a life, that feels like home.

Dec 17: How to Host a New Year's Eve Party

The Entertaining with Ease Bundle

In this episode, Wendy talks with Cassy Williamson, speaker, leadership coach, and author of Unapologetic: A Journey to Living Boldly, Loving Fiercely, and Being Nothing But Yourself. Cassy shares her mission to help women stop dimming their light, unlearn the habit of “earning” their worth, and show up fully as who they are — at work, at home, and in every relationship. With humor and heart, she and Wendy explore what it means to be unapologetically whole, even when life feels messy.

They explore:

•  The difference between “earning your worth” and “dimming your light” — and how to stop doing both
•  Why your “best yes” sometimes looks like saying no, walking away, or closing a chapter
•  How learning to ask for help (and receive it) can expand your capacity for connection, courage, and joy

Tune in for an energizing reminder that you don’t need to shrink to fit someone else’s version of enough — you already are.

Dec 17: How to Host a New Year's Eve Party

The Entertaining with Ease Bundle

In this episode, Wendy talks with memoirist and former actress Alison Rand, whose extraordinary life journey has been shaped by loss, love, reinvention, and the profound wisdom of her beloved dog, Dea. Alison shares how writing two deeply honest memoirs helped her understand her own resilience, navigate grief, and ultimately learn to trust herself again. Through humor, vulnerability, and the lens of a dog’s-eye view, she offers a moving reflection on identity, connection, and what it means to choose yourself after life has asked you to begin again.

They explore:

•  How self-trust grows after years of doubt, loss, and seeking external permission
• The transformative power of memoir, and why writing from her dog’s perspective changed everything
• Loneliness, connection, and the healing impact of the human–animal bond

Tune in for a tender, wise, and unexpectedly joyful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the stories that shape us.

The Entertaining with Ease Bundle

In this episode, Wendy talks with Terry Tateossian about the midlife body shift so many women experience but rarely discuss. Terry shares her own fast and unexpected entry into perimenopause, the health crises that forced her to reevaluate everything, and the individualized approach she now uses to help women understand what’s actually happening in their bodies during this season. Their conversation offers a grounded look at hormones, habits, identity, and the compassionate support women deserve as they move into the next chapter of their lives.

They explore:

• Why so many women feel blindsided by perimenopause and midlife weight gain
• The connection between hormones, stress, sleep and the behaviors that quietly add up over time
• How individualized nutrition, resistance training and mindset support can help women feel strong, clear and at home in their bodies again

Tune in for an honest conversation about what the midlife body shift really looks like—and how to move through it with clarity, agency, and support.

In this episode, Wendy welcomes Tammara Gardner for a powerful conversation about midlife reinvention, desire as a compass, and the courage it takes to step out of the life you built and into the one you truly want. After more than twenty years in corporate law, Tammara chose to follow an inner calling that led her toward personal development, writing, teaching, and supporting women through transformational shifts. Together, they explore what it looks like to leave the familiar “line,” embrace a new chapter with intention, and reconnect with the desires that have been waiting beneath the surface.

They explore:

• How desire becomes a guide for midlife reinvention and personal expansion
• What it takes to step out of the “line” and let go of lives that no longer fit
• The 12 Guiding Stars System and how it helps women align with what they truly want

Tune in and hear the honest, inspiring conversation behind what it really takes to follow desire into the next chapter of your life.

In this episode, Wendy welcomes Rebecca Arnold, author of Rooted Renegade, for a grounded and insightful conversation about intentional living, identity, and the small shifts that change everything.

• Why identity shifts often begin with choosing new language for ourselves
• How to work with your energy instead of forcing productivity from sheer willpower
• The power of micro-opportunities and small intentional choices throughout the day
