I look forward to this podcast every week. Wendi keeps it simple, relatable and helps the listener apply what they learn. I like how she “tells it to you straight,” yet keeps it lighthearted and joyful.

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!
