This is such a great podcast!!! Wendi has a great energy, she’s full of joy and desires to learn for herself and to help listeners understand as well. So good!
Turned on an episode today about how our purpose is us and I loved every second. Wendy is funny, real, and wise. I’ve loved her from the moment I met her and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to leave from her in this podcast! Thank you for your words. They touched my heart today right when I needed it!
Listening to your podcast is just like chatting with you in your front yard! Thank you for a creating a wonderful resource for everyone!
Wendi love your podcast and how you inspire temporal and spiritual preparation. I learn so much! Thank you :)
I started listening because I want to learn more about how to be more prepared in all things. Wendi certainly delivers in those areas! Kinda fun how I start planning for a cross-country road trip, and then she drops an episode on that topic!
More than the prepping tips, she also delivers her insights and words of inspiration for anyone listening. She said “Banish fear, but stepping into it!” Love this! Now to get my car kit together and download more episodes!
