- 44 minutes 54 secondsSomeday Is Here: Making Time for the Dreams You’ve Put Off | Lisa Cutshaw
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
When Lisa Cutshaw was a teenager, her dad gave her some practical advice: be a farmer, after you’ve made your money. So she built a 20-year career as a landscape architect, then bought a farm in western North Carolina near her family. Now she’s finally saying out loud the ideas she’s carried for years, through a newsletter, a podcast about plants, and a free nature journal, all built around one belief: a real relationship with nature makes all of life better. Wendy and Lisa talk about making time for what matters to you, letting help in, and dreaming bigger than your current capacity.
In this episode, they discuss:
- Why Lisa finally decided that the things she thinks are important are important, and why someday is now
- What a real, two-way relationship with nature looks like, and why Lisa believes it could save the world
- How a dream keeps growing once you start tending it, from a farm stand to a podcast to a possible wellness retreat in Europe
If you’ve been putting off something that matters to you until there’s more time, this conversation is a good place to start.

6 November 2026, 8:00 am - 45 minutes 18 secondsLife Transitions: Why the Right Decision Can Still Bring Grief | Stacie Shifflett
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
When Stacie Shifflett sat down with Wendy, she was in the middle of a big change. She had just decided to sell her home on Siesta Key, her favorite place in the world, and the grief that followed caught her off guard. Wendy and Stacie talk about why a clear, aligned decision doesn’t always bring relief, how to make room for grief and even rage without getting stuck there, and why old feelings can resurface long after you thought you’d healed. Stacie, the founder of Modern Consciousness and author of Treasure Map to Joy, also shares why she believes disruption is not destruction.
In this episode, they discuss:
- Why clarity rarely brings certainty right away, and how to take just the next step when you can’t see the rest of the path
- Making space for grief and rage after a change you chose, without shaming yourself or setting up camp there
- Why feelings from a divorce can resurface years later, and why Stacie sees that as a deeper layer of healing rather than a setback
If you’ve made a decision you know is right and you’re surprised by how much it hurts, this conversation is a good place to start.

4 November 2026, 8:00 am - 56 minutes 48 secondsStop Doing It All: Letting Go of Housework, Guilt & Obligations | Lisa Woodruff
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
Lisa Woodruff, founder of Organize365 and author of Escaping Quicksand, is back, and this time she shares a story she says she’s never told: hiring a house cleaner and then not knowing what to do with herself while someone else did the work. Wendy and Lisa talk about why receiving help feels so uncomfortable, from paying someone to mow the lawn to giving yourself a raise. Lisa also unpacks the obligations so many women pile up in their 20s and 30s, and how she let go of entire categories of housework, grocery shopping included, to make room for herself.
In this episode, they discuss:
- Why it’s so uncomfortable to receive support, whether that’s help at home or paying yourself what your business can afford
- Lisa’s three questions for letting housework go: Does it need to be done at all? Does it need to be done at this level? Do you need to be the one doing it?
- Her five-level Productive Home CEO framework, and what changes when you lead your household instead of just running it
If your to-do list has outgrown you and you’re ready to take some of your time back, this conversation is a good place to start.

30 October 2026, 7:00 am - 49 minutes 13 secondsHow to Know What You Want After a Lifetime of People-Pleasing | Monica Rodgers
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
Monica Rodgers grew up in a high-control religious home where questioning wasn’t allowed, and it took a divorce and a dark night of the soul that kept her in bed for almost nine months to begin what she calls her unbecoming. Wendy and Monica talk about the trance of unworthiness so many women grow up in, why we leave our bodies to survive it, and what it takes to come back. They also get into why so many women freeze when asked what they want, and what changes when women gather in circle.
In this episode, they discuss:
- The trance of unworthiness: how Monica first noticed it in church at six years old, and why so many women end up living in their heads instead of their bodies
- Why “What do you want?” stops so many women in their tracks after years of people-pleasing, and how knowing what you don’t want can point you toward what you do
- Saying yes to the mess: treating doubt, rage, grief, and the dark stretches of reinvention as part of the path
If people keep telling you you’ve changed and you’re starting to take it as a compliment, this one’s for you.

28 October 2026, 7:00 am - 40 minutes 1 secondHow to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World | Dr. Michelle Machado
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
Dr. Michelle Machado spent two decades as a high-achieving medical educator, moving continents with her young daughters, until one night at the height of the pandemic she hit a breaking point. That night became the start of what she calls an awakening, and eventually her book, Alive Again: Four Steps to Reclaim Your Life in a Distracted World. Wendy and Michelle talk about what it takes to stop running on empty, why they both guard their early-morning practice, and what our kids learn from watching us take care of ourselves.
In this episode, they discuss:
- How Michelle defines disconnection, the gap between who we are on the outside and what we feel on the inside, and how constant distraction widens it without our noticing
- The non-negotiable morning practice that kept her grounded, even on the day she was rear-ended on the way to the airport
- How to start a morning practice when you’re “not a morning person,” and why Michelle says we’re all choice people
If you’ve achieved what you set out to and still feel empty, this conversation is a good place to start.

Neuroscientist Dr. Tiff Thompson tells the story of the day she lost it on a gardener for cutting a limb off the tree outside her Santa Barbara office, and what she learned when she got curious about her own rage. Wendy and Tiff talk about the small, split-second judgments we make about other people and what those judgments may be telling us about ourselves. They also get into giving yourself permission to not always be bright and sparkly, and why Tiff believes staying open can help you live longer.
In this episode, they discuss:
- What happens in the brain during rage, and how getting curious about her own outburst gave Tiff compassion for an emotion that rarely gets any
- Micro-judgments: the quick, automatic judgments we make about strangers, and why noticing them without beating yourself up is the first step to changing them
- Openness, comparison, and why “monotony compresses time, novelty unfolds it” makes a case for saying yes now
If you’re in a season of reinvention and catching yourself in old patterns, this one will make you want to grab a flashlight and take a closer look.

What if organizing your home began with deciding how you want to feel when you walk into it? Professional organizer and coach Tracy Hoth joins Wendy to explore the connection between our physical spaces, our stress, and the stories we tell ourselves about what we own. Tracy combines practical organizing skills with mindset coaching to help women make decisions, let go without lingering regret, and create homes that support who they are becoming. Together, she and Wendy also examine the grief that can accompany releasing objects connected to former roles, relationships, and seasons of life.
In this episode, they discuss:
- The questions that can help you decide what belongs in the life you’re creating now
- How your future self can help you release regret about past decisions
- Why decluttering sometimes requires grieving an identity or season that has ended
Getting organized is about more than creating a tidy room. It can also be an opportunity to understand what you value, practice trusting your decisions, and create space for what you want next.

When life changes, our first instinct is often to do something, but Leann Rose Crook says making the bold move is step four, not step one. Drawing from the eight years it took her to regain stability after her first husband left, Leann shares the six-step process she developed to help women move through major transitions with greater clarity and less pain. She and Wendy explore what it means to identify the true shift taking place, own your story, stand in your strength, and intentionally build the routines of your new life. This conversation offers a grounded approach to moving forward without rushing past the inner work that makes lasting change possible.
In this episode, they discuss:
- The six steps Leann uses to help women navigate major life changes
- Why making the bold move is step four, not the place to begin
- How journaling, creativity, and other physical practices can move an experience out of your head and help you understand what is happening within you
Major changes may be difficult, but we don’t have to move through them unconsciously. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, identify the real shift taking place, and build your next chapter with greater intention.

What if the beliefs shaping your life were handed to you—and were never truly yours?
In this episode, Wendy sits down with executive coach and author Chanchal Garg to explore self-trust, self-compassion, and what Chanchal calls “the inheritance of daughterhood.” Chanchal shares how writing her memoir about spiritual and sexual abuse became part of reclaiming her story, changing the narrative for her children, and showing up more unapologetically in her life and work. Together, they examine what it means to honor the past without allowing it to define who you are becoming.
They explore:
- Why a growth mindset without self-compassion can leave us feeling stuck
- How to trust your growth instead of assuming you’ll repeat your past mistakes
- What it means to interrupt inherited patterns while allowing yourself and your children to have different experiences
If you’re questioning the stories you inherited or learning how to trust yourself after years of doubt, this conversation offers a compassionate reminder that your identity is not static, and you are allowed to keep growing into yourself.

9 October 2026, 7:00 am - 55 minutes 30 secondsWhy Leadership Alignment Comes Before Business Strategy | Tricia Stover
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
As we move into the final months of 2026, Wendy wants to hear from you: How are you choosing to finish this year, and what intentions are you setting for 2027?
Send Wendy an email at [email protected] or DM her on Instagram and share what you’re calling in, leaving behind, or saying yes to next.
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t a lack of effort, but a lack of alignment?
In this episode, Wendy sits down with leadership strategist Tricia Stover to explore the connection between personal alignment, radical ownership, and sustainable success. Tricia shares how losing her husband unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her life and eventually led her into finance, leadership development, and entrepreneurship. She also introduces the High Noon Operating System, a framework designed to help leaders and organizations understand where they are before deciding where to go next.
They explore:
- Why alignment must come before strategy, and how to recognize when you’re operating reactively
- How pausing to assess where you are can prevent burnout and ultimately shorten the path forward
- What a season of saying no taught Tricia about boundaries, values, and recognizing the right yes
Whether you’re leading an organization, building a business, or navigating a transition in your personal life, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: you don’t have to force your way forward. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause, reconnect with your why, and choose your next step from alignment.

After experiencing divorce, assault, the loss of her nursing career and business, and a near-fatal accident involving her children, Romy Limenes found herself rebuilding nearly every part of her life. In this conversation, she shares how breathwork, movement, self-acceptance, and what she calls her “lifelines” helped her reclaim her voice and create a life that feels more authentically hers. Wendy and Romy also explore how small, intentional practices can help us meet ourselves in real time instead of waiting until we have the time or capacity for a complete reset.
They explore:
- How radical self-love becomes an intentional practice through self-talk, grace, and reparenting yourself
- Why breathwork does not need to produce a dramatic emotional release to be meaningful
- How Romy began viewing devastating loss as a catalyst to reclaim her voice and reinvent her life
If life has brought you to your knees, or you’re ready to stop living on autopilot, this conversation offers a compassionate, practical invitation to return to yourself one moment at a time.
