  • Family Rebel

    These conversations resonate with my spirit. I’ve always been my family’s rebel, nomad, and keeper of secrets. Wendy’s podcast is exceptional, and her guests nourish those places inside and quiet with voices trying to keep us tethered to expectation.

  • Career Change and sobriety

    Really loved this episode - Midlife Reinvention at 56: with Lisa Murphy. I’ve followed a similar trajectory and love hearing of other women doing the same. I left a 20 year career, sold my house, started a coaching business and somewhere along the way also quit drinking. Much like Lisa it just didn’t feel good to me anymore. Thanks so much for sharing these stories of women stepping up during this phase of life!

    I stumbled upon this amazing podcast a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. As a woman in midlife, I had been looking for the courage and motivation to make important shifts, big and small. Wendy and her guests have been a driving force, inspiring me to move forward in spite of my fears and keep going, knowing others have been right where I am. This podcast and the resources Wendy provides have inspired me to take risks and transform my life in ways I never would have imagined.

  • Insightful and Inspiring

    I’ve been listening to Wendy’s podcast for the past several months and thoroughly enjoy the women she interviews. Her guests are so poised and thoughtful and her interview skills are top notch. She asks great questions and gets the most out of guest leaving the listener curious to know more. She is a stellar podcaster, easy to listen to and quite interesting. One walks away having learned a few new things in the process. Definitely worth your time.

Q: So as you look across at all of the many reinventions that you've had, what have they taught you about yourself?
They taught me that choosing myself—being selfish in a way aligned with my intuition—transforms relationships and life, and that self-trust is the driver of all meaningful change.
