In this episode, Wendy sits down with Nancy Griffin, who has spent nearly three decades exploring the intersection of health and wealth, and how both are foundational to women's self-worth, power, and legacy. Nancy started Women Worth & Wellness 30 years ago when women were beginning to earn real money but didn't know how to think about it strategically. Over three decades, she's evolved the mission: it's no longer just about building net worth. It's about women stepping into the power they've earned and choosing what to do with it.

They explore:

• Why health and wealth belong together and how integrating them fuels women's power
• What it means for women to step into the opportunity they're in of more earning, more inheriting, and longer life expectancy
• How knowing your uniqueness and delegating allows you to invest your greatest asset of time in what matters most

Nancy's philosophy is simple: women have already achieved an incredible amount. Now the question is: what are you going to do with that power? Not from a place of obligation or guilt, but from genuine alignment with your values. She talks about twinning health and wealth in every conversation, because you can't show up powerfully in the world if you're not taking care of yourself. And once you're grounded, the real work begins: stepping in, stepping up, and amplifying your impact through generosity, philanthropy, and legacy.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Jan Goss, executive consultant, bestselling author, and founder of Show Up Well Consulting. Jan teaches a comprehensive framework for showing up as your whole, aligned self—not just at work, but at home, in relationships, and in every role you hold. She's spent decades building businesses, raising foster children, and discovering that true success isn't about shiny exteriors. It's about alignment, wholeness, and leading with love.

They explore:

• Why self-love and alignment are the foundation for showing up well everywhere
• How love brings cohesion, and the two-degree shifts that help you move toward it
• What it means to show up whole as a parent, partner, executive, and human being

Jan's philosophy is simple but radical: all of you is delicious, including the parts you'd rather hide. She talks about facing fear with compassion, making tiny shifts toward alignment, and discovering that love is a universal protocol that works in the boardroom and the bedroom, in parenting and in marriage. The roadblocks are comparison and fear, but the tools are practical: self-discovery and the willingness to show up as yourself, fully aligned, in every relationship that matters.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Karen Mayer Cunningham, special education advocate and author of Epic IEP, a framework that transforms the complicated federal special education law into actionable steps. After years of doing 500 IEP meetings annually, Karen realized her greatest pain in motherhood had become her biggest calling: helping families navigate special education when the system feels impossibly complicated.

They explore:

• What it means to advocate WITH schools, not against them, and why that partnership matters
• Why children with disabilities have capacity, but they need the right intervention and support to reach equity
• The scope of need: why individual advocacy alone isn't enough

Karen's approach is fundamentally collaborative: she works alongside teachers, administrators, and families because she knows they're all navigating a system that's overwhelming for everyone. Her conviction is simple: when we start seeing each other as partners working toward the same goal, that's when children actually get what they need.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Lynn Harris, founder of Gold Comedy and an industry veteran who's spent her career at the intersection of entertainment and social change. After 5 years of eldercare and other demands, Lynn is saying yes to herself again by setting boundaries, scheduling creative projects, and pursuing her own work.

They explore:

• How comedy works as a delivery system for challenging conversations and cultural shift
• Why the specificity of storytelling creates unexpected connection across difference
• What it means to set boundaries and reclaim your creative life after burnout

Lynn talks about the social contract of comedy and when you attend a show, you're required to listen to someone, even if they don't look like you or share your background. That simple act normalizes different perspectives and creates the possibility for cultural change. She's built Gold Comedy to help women and underrepresented voices succeed in comedy and entertainment, because the industry hasn't evolved enough since the 90s. Her insight is clear: it's not that women need to speak up more. It's that people need to listen.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Rebecca Olson, a working mom coach who spent 2025 in a deep dark hole. Despite having all the coaching tools and personal development strategies she knew worked, depression had her stuck. She eventually got professional help—a therapist, her doctor, and a low-dose antidepressant—and the difference has been life-changing.

They explore:

• Why your coaching tools and personal development practices might not be enough (and why that's okay)
• How clarity emerges when you stop trying to figure it out alone
• The magic of following the breadcrumbs when you can't see the whole picture

Rebecca talks about asking for help, receiving support in unexpected ways, and the moment the fog lifted. She's speaking openly about the stigma around antidepressants and mental health, and saying yes to herself by getting the professional help she needed. Now she's following aligned action and trusting the next logical step without needing to see the entire plan. This is a conversation about getting honest about what you need and being willing to ask for it.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Laura Phillips, a reverse mortgage lender. Laura challenges the generational belief that home equity is only a safety net, and explores how reverse mortgages can actually help seniors say yes to themselves and fund the life they want to live.

They explore:

• What reverse mortgages actually are (and why the name confuses people)
• How non-recourse loans protect your heirs from debt
• Why shifting your mindset about equity changes everything

Laura shares real stories of how reverse mortgages have helped seniors stay in their homes longer, fund in-home care, and maintain independence without burdening their children. She talks about breaking generational patterns around debt and home ownership, and why this financial tool deserves a second look.

This is a conversation about reframing what your home equity can do for you in your later years.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kathleen Conner, coach and host of the Chasing Purpose Podcast. Kathleen spent years presenting a perfect image to the world while feeling deeply out of sync internally, until one moment of disgust became her catalyst for change.

They explore:

• Why your vibrational baseline attracts the people and experiences around you
• How to recognize when you're performing instead of being authentic
• The "basket" metaphor: why women carry everyone's load and how to put it down with kindness

Kathleen talks about moving from perfectionism to alignment, making small daily choices (being 1% better), and raising interdependent children instead of independent ones. She shares how breaking your own patterns is the only way your children will do things differently.

This is a conversation about getting honest with yourself when your outside doesn't match your inside, and choosing alignment over image.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Darshana Avila, somatic experiencing practitioner and body-based trauma healer. Darshana is a recovering people pleaser who's spent years unwinding the cultural scripts we're all handed unknowingly: the ones about gender roles, perfectionism, and who we're supposed to be.

They explore:

• Why people pleasing is rooted in cultural conditioning (and how to recognize the script you've been reading)
• How trauma lives in your body and healing means changing your present relationship to the past
• Why forgiveness is a beautifully selfish act that frees you from resentment

Darshana talks about softening into embodiment, surrender as a practice, and what happens when we embrace our wholeness. This is a conversation about unwinding the people-pleasing patterns we didn't know we were practicing, and what becomes possible when we soften into our bodies and choose to lay down our armor.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Laurie Maddalena, leadership consultant who started her business nearly two decades ago and has raised three children while building it. Laurie spent years wrestling with the question: Can I be ambitious and a great mom? 

They explore:

• Why asking for support isn't weakness—it's healthy modeling for your children
• How to confront the narrative that "I'm the mom so I should do it all"
• Why intentionality matters more than perfection when juggling multiple roles

Laurie struggled to write her book for years until her husband said, "Just go away a few nights a month and work on it." She couldn't believe he was offering. Her internal narrative was screaming: I'm the mom, I'm the person who should be doing these things. But she did it anyway, finished the book, and is still doing the work of believing she doesn't have to do it all alone.

This is a conversation about leaning into support and remembering that being ambitious doesn't come at the expense of being a great mom.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Randi Crawford, coach and speaker who works with young adults and their moms. Moms constantly ask Randi: How do I help my daughter build confidence? Her answer: You can't hand it out. She has to build it herself through small wins.

They explore:

• Why confidence comes from doing little things, not big performative moments
• Why moms need their own lives so they're not overly involved in their children's identities
• Why there's no group of cool girls to fit into—you are the cool girl

Randi thought she'd be coaching menopausal women but ended up working with their daughters instead. Now she helps both: teaching girls to find who they are in a world trying to tell them who they should be, and teaching moms to step back and get their own lives.

This is a conversation about building real confidence and helping the next generation do the same.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Debbie Spence, who just turned 65 and is rewiring everything. Her 42-year marriage ended two years ago, and she had to ask herself: Who do I want to be? Not who am I, but who do I want to be for the rest of my life?

They explore:

• Why you get brand new neurons every morning that don't know what you believed yesterday
• How to plant seeds for the future (not just live in the present)
• The difference between telling your story from a scar vs. from a wound

Debbie spent four years writing a book about saying yes to herself through travel and wanderlust, weaving in stories of other people who stepped out in faith. She had almost finished it when her husband left. She could have abandoned it—the story she'd told suddenly felt untrue—but she came back and wrote the last chapter from the vulnerability. 

Tune in for a conversation that will inspire you to choose who you'll be for the rest of your life.
