Have you ever felt like your intuition is quiet or hard to reach even though you know it is always guiding you? Your intuitive brain never stops speaking to you. Sometimes life just gets loud enough that you forget how to listen.

In this episode, I walk you through the seven tools I personally use to strengthen my intuition and deepen my connection to my intuitive brain. After learning how powerful the three brains are, today I focus on how you can tap into your gut brain in a way that supports your highest alignment. 

If you have ever wished your intuition spoke louder, clearer, and more consistently, this episode gives you the exact tools to make that happen. I guide you deeper into the intuitive brain and why your gut brain is often the most accurate of your three brains. I share how the intuitive brain communicates, why the cognitive brain gets loud and confusing, and how your emotional brain supports clarity when you slow down enough to listen.

On this episode, I share:

• Revisiting the Three Brains and why intuition lives in the body
• Seven Tools to strengthen your intuitive brain
• Tool 1. Embrace Silence and create space for intuitive clarity
• Tool 2. Observe Your Body and notice the somatic cues that guide you
• Tool 3. Ask Clear Questions that your intuition can respond to
• Tool 4. Follow Life’s Hints and pay attention to synchronicities
• Tool 5. Spend Time in Nature to regulate your nervous system
• Tool 6. Stop Asking Others and learn to ask yourself first
• Tool 7. Future Self Check In to align with your intuitive future
• The power of intuition for women of color and how intuitive knowing is ancestral, embodied, and culturally rooted

If these seven tools resonated with you, come listen and learn how to bring them into your life with clarity, trust, and intention.

📚 Research Mentioned

• Women’s Experiences of Intuition (2021)
This study explored how women experience intuition as inner knowing, embodied insight, and spiritual or energetic awareness. Many women described intuition as real and relevant, even when difficult to explain because traditional systems do not always validate this kind of knowing.
Link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355866183_Women's_Experiences_of_Intuition

• Cultural Intuition, D.D. Bernal
A framework from Chicana and Latina feminist scholars that describes intuition for women of color as ancestral, communal, and embodied wisdom shaped by lived experience and intergenerational memory. Cultural intuition recognizes intuitive knowledge as a meaningful and legitimate way of knowing.

In this episode, Wendy brings you back into the heart of transformational work as she shares one of the most powerful frameworks she uses in her coaching practice: the 3  brains. Most people only use one. But the real magic begins when you understand and align all three.

You’ll hear Wendy talk about the cognitive brain that analyzes and plans, the heart brain that feels and opens, and the intuitive brain that guides you with ancient wisdom. She breaks down how each one works, why they all matter, and how learning to listen to all of them can shift the way you make decisions, create results, and live your life.

Wendy also shares personal stories about her own evolution, what she has learned working with her coach, and why building a stronger relationship with her intuition brought her more freedom, clarity, and alignment than she ever expected.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with simple but powerful growth work you can start practicing today so you can build a deeper connection with your mind, your heart, and your intuition.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why we actually have 3 different “brains”
• How society conditioned us to rely mostly on the cognitive brain
• Why the heart brain and gut brain hold untapped wisdom
• What intuition really feels like in the body
• The reason your cognitive brain lies to you but your gut never does
• How to check in with all three brains before making decisions
• What freedom feels like when you trust yourself fully

✨ Growth Work for the Week:
 The next time you make any decision, pause and ask all three brains:

1. What does my cognitive brain think?
2. What does my heart feel?
3. What is my gut telling me?

Start building a relationship with each part of you, one choice at a time.

The 11:11 portal isn’t just a date. It’s an energy,  one that invites you to align, embody, and create your next chapter with intention.

In this episode,  I dive deep into the connection between the energy of 11/11, the quantum field, and the power of embodiment. I also share three major breakthroughs that came out of our most recent FUTURE SELF EXPERIENCE, the transformative in-person workshop where women come together to reconnect with their bodies, release what’s been holding them back, and remember the version of themselves they’re becoming.

This episode is a reminder that creating your dream life isn’t about vision boards or affirmations alone; it’s about feeling the energy of what you want in your body and allowing yourself to experience it now.

I talked about:
 • The energy of the 11:11 portal and how to work with it intentionally
 • What the quantum field has to do with creating your dream life
 • Three powerful breakthroughs from the FUTURE SELF EXPERIENCE
 • Why embodiment is the missing piece in most manifestation practices
 • The three reflection questions that shift everything

✨ Ask yourself:

1. What is a goal I want to reach?
2. What’s the feeling I want to feel behind that goal?
3. How can I start to feel that right now?

When you connect with your desires through feeling and alignment, you step into the frequency of your future self, and that’s when things begin to move.

✨ The next FUTURE SELF EXPERIENCE is coming soon.
If this message speaks to you, consider this your sign to be in the room. Join me for a transformational day of embodiment, reflection, and reconnecting with the version of you who’s already living the life you’re dreaming of.

A powerful conversation on healing, courage, and breaking the patterns that no longer serve us.

In this heartfelt and transformative episode, I sit down with Priscilla María Gutiérrez, certified trauma-informed life coach, keynote speaker, and author of Break the Cycle Before It Breaks You. Known online as The Cycle Breaker Coach and founder of The Cycle Breakers Club, Priscilla empowers individuals to disrupt generational cycles by transforming their mindset, building mindful habits, and setting soul-aligned goals through both individual and group coaching.

She opens up about her own healing journey, the generational patterns she’s worked to release, and the courage it takes to turn pain into purpose. This conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin the healing work within yourself because breaking cycles always starts from the inside out.

We talked about:

• What it truly means to “break the cycle before it breaks you”
• Turning traumas into commas, and what that phrase really means
• The power of self-validation and rewriting your internal dialogue
• Healing out loud and what it looks like to pay your growth forward
• Lessons from Break the Cycle Before It Breaks You and the process of writing it
• How our personal healing ripples out to impact our families and communities

If you’re ready to start your healing journey, set boundaries, and release what no longer serves you, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Lizette Sánchez, a licensed psychologist, speaker, and writer who works with first-gen leaders. Together, we had a heartfelt conversation about the unique strengths of first-gen women, the challenges we often face balancing cultural expectations, and how to reconnect with the confidence that’s already within us.

I talked about:

• The natural gifts first-gen women bring: adaptability, resourcefulness, community-mindedness, and confidence
• How confidence isn’t something we “find” but something we reconnect with through action
• The cultural push-and-pull many of us experience, and how to move from conflict into integration
• Why boundaries are essential, not to create distance, but to deepen connection with both family and work
• The difference between “having it all” and “doing it all,” and how to release perfectionism
• Dr. Lizette’s LOOP framework for navigating imposter feelings: Letting go of perfection, Owning your wins, Opening up to support, and Practicing self-compassion
• The power of collective healing in groups and communities, and why we’re not meant to do this work alone

This conversation is packed with wisdom, reframes, and practical tools for every first-gen woman navigating leadership, identity, and self-doubt.

When family politics, viral moments, and peace collide

In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal experience that went from a family barbecue to a viral reel seen by almost a million people. I share how I navigated the emotions, the backlash, and the unexpected lessons about boundaries, self-care, and using challenges as opportunities to elevate.

I talked about:

• What really happened at that family barbecue, and why my shirt became a point of conflict
• How going viral brought both visibility and overwhelm, and what I learned from it
• The importance of boundaries, space, and saying “no” as full answers
• Why nervous system regulation and self-care matter even more in turbulent times
• How to turn painful family or political conflicts into opportunities for growth and deeper connection
• The bigger invitation: using these moments to evolve, elevate, and align with love

This episode is raw, real, and rooted in love: for family, for community, and for our collective growth. If you’ve ever struggled with family politics, viral visibility, or staying grounded in chaos, this one’s for you.

What if consistency didn’t mean doing something every day, or every week? What if it meant honoring your own rhythm, your own flow, and knowing when to pause? In this final episode before summer break, I’m sharing a loving reminder that rest is part of the process, especially when you’re building something for the long run.

I’m getting real about what consistency actually means, not hustle culture’s definition, but one rooted in alignment, energy, and long-term vision. I discuss the importance of taking intentional breaks, redefining productivity, and trusting your own pace as you build your life, career, or business.

I also share how I will be taking a break from the podcast for the rest of July and August, and then I will be back in September with new, exciting guests and powerful tools to help you live a more intentional life and reach your big money time and impact goals. 

I talked about:

• Why I’m taking a podcast break for the rest of July and August
• The difference between short-term hustle and long-term purpose
• How to define consistency for yourself (hint: it’s not doing something every day)
• Letting go of comparison when it comes to other people’s pace
• My summer plans, family time, and upcoming interviews with powerful Latinas
• A special one-day retreat: The Release and Reclaim Retreat happening in August, and how you can join us!

  2. Gargling

• What it really looked like to take the leap, disappoint my parents, and fully bet on myself
• Mental health, intuitive decision-making, and the courage to be vulnerable
• The power of action, mindset, and simply not giving up
• My go-to routines, the piggybacking habit hack, and how I structure my days with three kids
• What it means to truly get paid to be yourself

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, pressure from family, or finding the courage to live authentically, this conversation will speak to you. I hope it inspires you to trust your intuition and take that next step.
