Your Yes Filled Life

You can make high-stakes decisions at work, lead a team, run a business, and navigate complicated situations.

But when it comes to that one relationship, career move, or deeply desired outcome?

Suddenly you're checking messages, asking for reassurance, searching for signs, and wondering whether the universe is telling you to keep waiting.

What if the thing you're calling intuition is actually what you desperately want to be true?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, psychic medium and trauma-informed somatic coach Brenda Winkle explores the difference between intuition, desire, projection, and fear - and why emotionally intelligent, high-achieving women sometimes overlook patterns that are right in front of them.

Brenda shares examples from dating, business, and career transitions, including why one encouraging moment doesn't erase weeks of inconsistency.

She also shares a deeply personal story about recognizing an abusive marriage, seeking professional support, and how examining repeated patterns helped her understand what she couldn't see clearly while living inside the situation.

In this episode, you'll explore:

Why a powerful romantic connection doesn't necessarily mean a relationship is right for you. And why wanting out of your 9-5 might mean you need to take different actions than you're taking. You'll be able to apply this to whatever you want.

How intense desire can masquerade as intuitive certainty.

The difference between noticing a synchronicity and overlooking someone's actual behavior or a situation.

Why tracking repeated experiences can reveal patterns you miss in the moment.

How projection can influence the way you interpret other people's experiences.

Why someone's disappointment doesn't automatically mean your decision was wrong.

How to separate what happened, what you felt, and what you hoped it meant.

Why intuition and practical action belong together.

Five questions to help you practice discernment:

What am I actually noticing?

What do I want to be true?

What patterns are repeating?

Could I be projecting something from my own experience?

What would I choose if I didn't need reassurance, permission, or a guaranteed outcome?

You can tell when someone's energy shifts. You know when a friend needs you before she asks. You might even have dreams, hear songs, or experience moments of knowing that you can't quite explain.

But when it comes to trusting your OWN intuition?

Suddenly, you want proof.

Sound familiar?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle explores five ways your intuition may already be communicating with you - and why you might be overlooking them.

From claircognizance (clear knowing) and clairaudience (clear hearing) to body sensations, dreams, and emotional sensitivity, Brenda shares real-life examples, including a personal story about learning to doubt her own knowing when she couldn't “show her work.”

And for the empaths, people-pleasers, fixers, and highly sensitive women listening, there's an important reminder:

Not everything you notice is yours to fix.

This isn't about deciding that every thought, feeling, or coincidence is a psychic message. It's about getting curious, noticing patterns, and learning to recognize your own intuitive language.

Five signs that may be connected to your intuition

Why claircognizance can feel like knowing something without knowing how you know

How unexpected songs, sounds, and phrases may invite intuitive curiosity

What your body might be communicating through tension, chills, excitement, or expansion

How dreams, images, and visual impressions can get your attention

Why noticing someone else's emotional state doesn't make you responsible for changing it

Three questions to help you explore an experience without needing to prove or dismiss it

How tracking your emotional energy and intuitive impressions can help you recognize recurring patterns

You don't need another complicated practice.

You need a simple place to notice what's already happening.

What if you don't need to feel completely certain before taking your next step?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle sits down with business mentor and ProjectME creator Tiffany Carter to explore why even the most capable women second-guess themselves.

They talk about the fear of being seen, the trap of overthinking, and how to pursue what you want without making your worth dependent on the outcome.

In this episode:

Why waiting for certainty keeps you stuck.

The difference between wanting something and needing it to happen.

How to move through resistance and show up authentically.

Why self-trust matters more than having all the answers.

If you're a high-achieving empath, people probably count on you.

You're capable. You're generous. You're the person who figures things out.

And because you can understand what other people are going through, saying no can feel surprisingly hard.

You know they're overwhelmed. You understand their circumstances. You can see how much easier their life would be if you stepped in.

But when did understanding someone's needs become a requirement to meet them?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle explores the belief that being empathic means being endlessly available - and how that belief can affect your relationships, your career, your business, and your ability to trust yourself.

Brenda shares how she's navigated this in her own business, including moments when she's overridden her own boundaries because she wanted to help.

You'll also hear why being generous and running a profitable business aren't opposites, and how to recognize the difference between helping because you genuinely want to and helping because you're trying to prove you're a good person.

Why feeling someone's pain doesn't make you responsible for fixing it

How to recognize when empathy is turning into obligation

Why charging for your work doesn't make you less compassionate

How to pause before automatically saying yes

Why white space can help you notice your own thoughts, preferences, and intuitive nudges

How to practice self-trust through small, everyday decisions

You don't have to become less caring.

You don't have to stop helping people.

And you don't have to make someone else wrong to make a different choice.

Your empathy has to include YOU.

Someone else's discomfort is information. It's not automatically an instruction.

You've built a life you're proud of.

You've made thoughtful decisions, developed your expertise, and worked hard to become more fully yourself.

And then someone whose opinion has mattered to you for years questions one of your choices.

Suddenly, you're second-guessing something you felt completely clear about.

Not because you've lost your self-trust.

Because an old fear just got activated.

In Episode 306 of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle shares a personal experience that happened during a season of extraordinary professional growth and visibility.

After expanding her TikTok audience, appearing on Tiffany Carter's ProjectME podcast, and receiving exciting new professional opportunities, Brenda found herself in a conversation that challenged the way she was showing up publicly.

The criticism centered on her language, her collaborations, and whether this was really who she wanted to be.

And for a moment, despite all her success and experience, she felt like a little girl wondering whether someone else knew better than she did.

But this time, something was different.

She noticed what was happening in her body.

She observed her thoughts without immediately believing them.

She maintained a boundary.

And she gave herself the opportunity to evaluate the feedback rather than automatically accepting it.

This episode isn't about ignoring everyone's opinions. It's about learning which opinions deserve influence over your decisions.

Why other people's disapproval can still affect you, even after years of personal growth

What happens in your body when an old fear of rejection or judgment gets activated

How to recognize the difference between a protective response and your own discernment

Why you don't need to defend every decision you make

The difference between feedback that supports your growth and feedback shaped by someone else's preferences

Three questions to help you evaluate criticism without abandoning yourself

How to maintain relationships while allowing yourself to change

Why authentic visibility can create opportunities you once thought were unavailable to you

1. Is this feedback aligned with the life I'm intentionally creating?

2. Does this person understand the context of my decision, or are they responding through their own preferences and values?

3. Once the initial fear settles, what do I actually believe?

You can listen to someone's perspective without making it your truth.

You can love someone without living according to their preferences.

And you can feel an old fear without letting it make your decisions.

You don't need everyone to understand who you're becoming. You get to keep trusting yourself as you become her.

Notice what happens to your energy when you're being fully yourself—and what happens when you start managing other people's expectations.

You've worked hard to create a successful life. But are you actually enjoying it?

Maybe you've built a thriving career or business. You have money, opportunities, and choices.

But you're still the one making the decisions.

Managing the details.

Anticipating what could go wrong.

And holding everything together.

You thought success would create more freedom.

So why does it sometimes feel like you're working harder than ever?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle sits down with Elizabeth Ralph, founder of The Spiritual Investor, intuitive investor, wealth strategist, and host of The Spiritual Investor podcast.

Elizabeth retired at 39 after a career as a financial executive and energy trader. Today, she teaches entrepreneurs about investing, financial freedom, and what she calls money neutrality.

But this isn't just a conversation about making more money.

It's about creating a different relationship with success, receiving, identity, and control.

Elizabeth shares what happened when she challenged the way she was running her already-successful business. By giving her trusted team more decision-making responsibility, she created space for greater collaboration and personal freedom.

Brenda also shares the deeply personal story of traveling across the United States with her dog while her father was dying and how grief and identity changes affected her relationship with receiving.

When Brenda says, “Receptivity felt dangerous,” Elizabeth pauses, and the conversation takes a powerful turn.

Together, they explore why receiving can feel natural in one area of life and difficult in another, and what becomes possible when we stop judging ourselves for the places where we're still growing.

What money neutrality means and why Elizabeth considers it foundational to her approach to wealth

Why having money and feeling financially free aren't necessarily the same experience

How to question the patterns and identities that keep you doing everything the hard way

What Elizabeth means by “breaking the structure”

How Elizabeth created more freedom by allowing her team to make more decisions

Why receiving felt dangerous for Brenda during a period of grief and uncertainty

Why receiving can feel easier in one area of life than another

How curiosity, self-trust, and allowing support can change your experience of success

Elizabeth Ralph is a wealth strategist, intuitive investor, and founder of The Spiritual Investor, where she helps entrepreneurs explore investing and financial freedom.

Formerly a financial executive and energy trader, Elizabeth retired at 39. She combines practical financial experience with her perspective on the energetics of money.

She also hosts The Spiritual Investor podcast and spends much of her time at her Tennessee horse ranch.

Song: Take it Higher by Collin Downes licensed through Pond 5 - Transaction #9611469 

You're the woman who remembers everybody's birthdays.

You check in when someone is struggling. You organize the dinners. You send the thoughtful texts. You notice when somebody needs a little extra love. But when it's YOUR turn to need something?

Sometimes the silence is deafening. And you find yourself wondering:

“Am I only important to people when I'm doing something for them?”

In this deeply personal episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle explores the invisible emotional labor so many empathic women carry in their friendships, families, and romantic relationships—and why being the person everyone counts on can sometimes feel incredibly lonely.

Brenda shares a painful birthday experience from her early teaching career, a friendship that challenged her understanding of reciprocity, and the realization that changed how she communicates her needs.

Because here's the uncomfortable truth:

Sometimes people genuinely aren't showing up for you. And sometimes you're expecting them to know what you need without ever telling them.

Those are different situations. And learning to recognize the difference is an essential part of self-trust.

Why being the unofficial “emotional project manager” of your relationships can leave you exhausted and unseen

The unspoken agreements we sometimes create when we give others the kind of care we wish they'd give us

Why asking for what you need doesn't make the care you receive less meaningful

How to distinguish an unexpressed expectation from a relationship where your needs repeatedly go unmet

Three questions to help you navigate disappointment, reciprocity, and self-trust without automatically blaming yourself or someone else

You deserve relationships where your needs matter, too.

And you deserve the freedom to express those needs without feeling like you've somehow made the love less real.

These 5 signs mena your empathy might be running your life

You can set a boundary. But the second someone gets disappointed, you start rolling it back.

You make sure everybody's needs are met—including the dogs—while your own dinner becomes an orange and a cheese stick.

And you'll fight fiercely when someone else is treated unfairly. But when the injustice affects YOU? Suddenly you're worried about sounding selfish, greedy, or difficult.

Sound familiar?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle explores five signs your empathy may be running your life—and why the answer isn't to become less sensitive or less compassionate.

As a trauma-informed somatic coach, breathwork facilitator, and psychic medium, Brenda works with highly empathic women who are successful, capable, and deeply caring, yet struggle to give themselves the same consideration they naturally give everyone else.

This conversation explores how empathy can become tangled with guilt, fear of disconnection, and self-abandonment—and how to begin recognizing those patterns without judging yourself.

In this episode, we're exploring five signs your empathy may be running your life:

Recognize yourself in one - or all five?

I'm not just naming these patterns. I'm sharing the questions I use with my coaching clients to help them understand what's happening, recognize where they're abandoning themselves, and begin making choices that include their own needs.

Because the answer isn't to become less empathic.

Your empathy has to include YOU.

If you're recognizing these patterns in your own life, start by looking at where your energy is going.

Today's conversation goes deep into what it can look like to reclaim parts of yourself you've been taught to ignore.

Wendy Mata spent more than 20 years in cybersecurity and digital forensics before leaving the corporate world and returning to the spiritual practices that had been part of her family and lineage for generations.

Today, Wendy is a bruja curandera, fire priestess, healer, spiritual teacher, founder of Bruja Power Botanica, and author of Bruja Curandera: Spells, Rituals, and Ancestor Work from a Mexican Healer and Witch.

In this conversation, Brenda and Wendy explore what it means to recognize and work with your spiritual gifts rather than feeling controlled or depleted by them.

Wendy shares how she understands the roles of witch, healer and priestess, and why training, boundaries, devotion and practice matter. They also talk about creating intentional communities, working with mentors, balancing spiritual guidance with practical systems, breaking inherited patterns, allowing joy and abundance into your life, and why reclaiming your power doesn't mean blaming yourself for painful experiences.

In this episode:

What would a psychic medium and empath never do during spooky season?

Brenda has opinions. 👻

In this playful (and decidedly witchier) episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda shares five things she personally avoids during spooky season—and why sensitivity, intuition and discernment all matter when you’re deciding what experiences you actually want to engage with.

From haunted places and unexplained chills to spiritual practices, secondhand objects and knowing when to turn your intuitive “dial” down, this episode explores a side of empathy we don’t always talk about:

Just because you can sense something doesn’t mean you have to engage with it.

You’ll also hear how Brenda approaches spooky season without becoming afraid of it, why she believes energetic boundaries matter, and how she decides when she’s available for intuitive information—and when she simply wants to be a human having fun.

This isn't about giving you more things to fear.

It’s about discernment.

Because your sensitivity doesn’t require you to make yourself available to every person, place or experience.
