🎙 Episode Overview:

What if success on paper doesn’t equal fulfillment in your life? In this inspiring episode, Tina sits down with Wendy Meadows—former attorney turned life coach and author of Sparkle and Grit—to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel “stuck” even after reaching career milestones.

Wendy shares her journey of pivoting from family law to empowering women, the life events that pushed her to re-align her path, and the practical tools she uses to help women slow down, find clarity, and step into who they truly want to be.

From creating your own morning mindset ritual to turning physical wellness into mental breakthroughs, Wendy brings a fresh perspective on building alignment without guilt—and why baby steps are the real secret to transformation.

🔥 What You'll Learn:

• Why high-achieving women often struggle to pivot, even when they feel misaligned.
• The power of small, consistent “baby steps” to create lasting change.
• How physical health and movement can unlock mental clarity for big life shifts.
• A daily mindset practice Wendy teaches clients to become who they want to be.
• Why writing down or visualizing goals makes you more likely to embody them.
• The role of coaches and therapists in helping you uncover hidden truths and take action.
• Creative ways to personalize your alignment practice (journaling, doodling, video, or even creating a theme song for yourself).

🧠 Notable Quotes:

• “I realized I didn’t want my obituary to just say I was an attorney. I wanted it to reflect a life of love, passion, and purpose.” – Wendy Meadows

• “If you’re stuck, ask yourself—are you actually giving yourself permission to slow down and think about what you really want?” – Tina Sue

• “Everything is baby steps. You don’t need to leap without a plan. Just take the next step that feels aligned.” – Wendy Meadows

• “Even coaches need coaches. Sometimes we can’t ask ourselves the questions we most need to answer.” – Tina Sue

• “We’re unstoppable when we combine honesty, curiosity, and small consistent action.” – Wendy Meadows

🎯 Actionable Takeaways:

• Start with your body: Move daily—walk, work out, or practice yoga to clear mental clutter.

• Adopt Wendy’s Mindset Ritual: Each morning, identify your “big event,” decide who you want to be in that moment, and embody that identity.

• Journal or Visualize: Write down your chosen adjectives (e.g., confident, resilient, present) or record a short video reminding yourself who you’ll be today.

• Leverage Music: Create a personal “pump-up playlist” or even write your own theme song to reinforce your aligned identity.

• Baby Steps, Always: Instead of massive pivots, focus on the next right action that feels aligned.
