    Content warning: This episode includes candid discussions of domestic abuse, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, explicit sexual content, and strong language. Please listen with care.

    In this episode, Wendy sits down with author and TEDx speaker Candi Rose for an honest conversation about shame, survival, and the freedom she found in telling the truth about her past. Candi shares how unresolved pain contributed to substance abuse, destructive choices, and an abusive relationship, as well as the moment she realized that visible success had not healed what she was still carrying. Writing her memoir, Naked, became part of facing her past, reclaiming her voice, and releasing the fear that someone else could use her story against her.

    They explore:

    • Why achievement and external success cannot resolve the pain and shame we continue to hide
    • How sharing your story in a safe, nonjudgmental space can loosen shame’s hold and create meaningful connection
    • What it means to stop performing as the person others expect and begin choosing what you genuinely want for yourself

    This is a conversation about confronting the parts of your story you would rather keep hidden, finding support that allows you to speak without judgment, and remembering that transformation rarely happens in a straight line.

    Stop Forcing Productivity and Start Leading Your Creative Work | Christine Carron

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    Want to come inside La Menarderie? On Saturday, September 19, Wendy is opening the doors (virtually!) for a live tour of the château she and her friend Liz have been bringing to life in the French countryside. Come see the treasures she’s sourced, what they’ve been working on, and this beautiful old property while it’s still very much in progress. The tour is live on Zoom and will not be recorded.

    JOIN THE LIVE TOUR: wendy-harrop.myflodesk.com/lamenarderietour


    In this episode, Wendy sits down with Christine Carron of Good Jelly to challenge the idea that meaningful progress requires more pressure, discipline, or hours spent working. Christine helps highly capable creatives find patterns of progress that honor how they actually work, rather than forcing themselves into someone else’s system. Together, they explore what changes when you stop treating yourself like an assembly line, recognize the wins you usually dismiss, and begin leading your creative work with more spaciousness, self-trust, and delight.

    They explore:

    • Why your creative process is allowed to look different from everyone else’s and change from one project, season, or day to the next 
    • How perfectionism and undefined finish lines keep you working without ever feeling the momentum of what you’ve completed 
    • Christine’s practice of creating “done boosts” by naming your endpoints and becoming flagrantly generous in acknowledging your progress 

    This is a conversation about making room for creativity without running yourself into the ground. If you’re doing meaningful work but constantly focused on what remains unfinished, Christine offers a more sustaining way to recognize your progress and keep moving.

    A Vision of Mary Magdalene and the Wholeness Within | Aline Ghorayeb

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    Want to come inside La Menarderie? On Saturday, September 19, Wendy is opening the doors (virtually!) for a live tour of the château she and her friend Liz have been bringing to life in the French countryside. Come see the treasures she’s sourced, what they’ve been working on, and this beautiful old property while it’s still very much in progress. The tour is live on Zoom and will not be recorded.

    JOIN THE LIVE TOUR: wendy-harrop.myflodesk.com/lamenarderietour

    And if you’re dreaming of more time in a French château, Wendy is also inviting just six guests to join her for Stories, Sourcing & Styling at Château de Brives, November 15–23.

     EXPLORE STORIES, SOURCING & STYLING: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/antique-experience-france


    In this episode, Wendy sits down with Aline Ghorayeb, author of A Change of Heart with Mary Magdalene, to talk about the spiritual vision that changed the direction of her life. Aline shares how the experience and the messages that followed led her to Mary Magdalene, called her to write despite never considering herself an author, and opened a new chapter in her spiritual journey. Her search to understand what she had received eventually led her to A Course in Miracles, the Gnostic Gospels, and a message that continues to guide her: we are not separate, incomplete, or alone.

    They explore:

    •  How Aline discerns between fear-based reactions and choices that reconnect her with love 
    •  What it meant to trust a deeply personal spiritual experience and share its message with others 
    •  Why wholeness is not something we must earn or find outside ourselves, but something we are invited to remember 

    This is a conversation about trusting your inner knowing, remaining open to the ways guidance may arrive, and releasing the conditioning that tells you something essential is missing from who you already are.

    How Shame Keeps You Stuck in Relationship Patterns | Jessica Fern & David Cooley

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    Ready for your own pattern interrupt? Explore Wendy’s upcoming experiences in France and discover what becomes available when you step outside your routine, learn something new, and say yes to an adventure that feels good.

    wendy-harrop.com/journeys

    In this episode, Wendy sits down with therapist Jessica Fern and restorative relationship practitioner David Cooley to examine how shame shapes the way we relate to ourselves and the people closest to us. They introduce the “inner shame triangle”: an inner critic that attacks, a shame part that absorbs and believes the criticism, and escaper parts that try to outrun it through over-functioning, under-functioning, busyness, or numbing. The conversation becomes deeply personal as Wendy reflects on her divorce and Jessica and David share how they ended their marriage, continued co-parenting, and created a new relationship structure that better meets their family’s needs.

    They explore:

    •  How the inner critic, shame, and escaper parts reinforce one another and show up during relationship conflict 
    •  Why willingness and capacity are both necessary for couples who want to grow together 
    •  What it means to measure a relationship’s success by whether people’s needs are being met, not simply by how long it lasts 

    This is a conversation about recognizing the internal patterns influencing your relationships, responding to yourself with greater compassion, and allowing relationships to evolve when the old configuration no longer works.

    How to Trust the Next Aligned Yes | Wendy Harrop

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    In this bonus mini episode, Wendy shares how a series of small, aligned yeses led to unexpected friendships, collaborations, and opportunities across France. From meeting Chef Eric in Normandy to expanding her work with Jessica Hickman-Woolcott and the Cognac Jewellery School, none of it arrived through a perfectly mapped-out plan. It unfolded one decision and one connection at a time.

    Wendy also shares how she recognizes her next right step, why she doesn’t need to see the entire path before moving forward, and the practices that help her distinguish intuition from resistance.

    You don’t have to know exactly how everything will work. You can quiet the noise, trust your own knowing, and take the next logical step.

    Finding Belonging When You’re Living Between Two Cultures | Thymai Dong-Sheehan

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    French Antiques Experience - Chateau de Brives: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/antique-experience-france

    Cognac Jewellery School Foundations 2027: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/cjs-foundation-2027

    Cognac Jewellery School Collections Week 2027: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/cognac-jewellery-school-collections-2027

    In this episode, Wendy sits down with author and educator Thymai Dong-Sheehan to talk about identity, belonging, and the courage to tell your own story. Born in Vietnam and raised in the United States, Thymai grew up navigating two cultures while never feeling fully claimed by either. Years later, stepping away from her career to care for family left her grieving the loss of her worker identity, but it also gave her the space to pursue two dreams she had been saving for retirement: publishing The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life and starting her own business. What emerged was an honest examination of the stories told about her, the parts of herself she had learned to minimize, and what it meant to finally decide that her experiences were valid and worth sharing.

    They explore:

    •  How Thymai moved from feeling caught between Vietnamese and American identities to embracing the full complexity of who she is 
    •  Why releasing the need to prove she belonged required vulnerability, spirituality, community, and self-forgiveness 
    •  How losing confidence after leaving her career led Thymai back to the inner work behind her larger vision for educational change 

    This is a conversation about claiming the right to tell your own story, allowing every part of your identity to belong, and trusting what can emerge when an unexpected pause creates room for something new.

    Take the Action, Surrender the How | Carrie Fabris

    Carrie Fabris is a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and the founder of CareerFrame, where she works with leaders and teams on the kind of self-awareness that actually changes how people show up at work. She's also a self-described activator — someone wired to move fast, act now, and figure out the rest later. Lately, life's been asking her to do the opposite: pause, observe, and trust that the timing isn't hers to control. In this episode, Carrie and Wendy explore:

    • Why Carrie has learned to trust a slower pace and pay attention before reacting
    • What it actually took to leave a stable job with zero clients lined up, simply because staying didn't feel right anymore
    • The difference between forcing an outcome and taking inspired action, then trusting the timing to work itself out

    Carrie's story isn't about having a plan for everything. It's about learning that the how isn't always yours to control, and that the action you take matters more than having it all figured out first.

    When Your Surroundings Don't Match What You Want | Sonya Weisshappel

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    What if your next chapter could be born in a beautiful city… while you gave yourself permission to dream? Space to Dream Global Workshops: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/space-to-dream-global

    Sonya Weisshappel calls herself the Chaos Whisperer, and her business card should probably read more like a dictionary than a title — she helps people move through major life transitions by starting with what's actually around them, whether that's a friend circle that no longer fits or a lifetime of inherited belongings nobody's touched since a loved one died. 

    In this episode, Sonya and Wendy explore:

    • Why it's okay to let go of relationships that used to be a match and no longer are, and how to trust that shift without needing to explain it
    • The disconnect Sonya sees constantly between what someone says they want and what their actual physical surroundings are set up to support
    • How organizing a closet, a junk drawer, or a lifetime of inherited belongings is rarely just about the stuff, and why the physical work often opens a side door into grief that talk therapy alone doesn't always reach

    Sonya's approach isn't about decluttering, or networking, for their own sake. It's about recognizing that your surroundings — people included — should actually reflect what you want now, not just what you've always had.

    Perfectionism: Why Your Brain Thinks It's Keeping You Safe | Martine Cohen

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    Check out the new website:  www.wendy-harrop.com

    Martine Cohen didn't set out to rethink her relationship with rest. Instead, a serious car accident and concussion forced the issue, stopping her in her tracks until she had no choice but to listen to her body in a way she'd ignored for years. She's since built her work, including her book No More Layers, around exactly that: understanding why we override our own needs, and how to stop. In this episode, Martine and Wendy explore:

    • Why perfectionism isn't a personality trait but a safety mechanism the brain built to avoid rejection, and why that mechanism can never actually be satisfied
    • The small, consistent rituals Martine uses to reset her nervous system daily, and why tiny, repeated habits do more than one big gesture ever could
    • Why so many women only give themselves permission to ask for help when something has gone wrong, and never when things are going well

    Martine's approach isn't about overhauling your whole life overnight. It's about noticing the habits you already have, deciding which ones are actually serving you, and building new ones in their place, one small, repeatable choice at a time.

    Don't forget to DM Wendy @wendy.harrop and Martine @martinecohen_ on Instagram to share your new habit!

    How to Return to Your Feminine Nature and Reclaim Your Power | Chelsea Ann

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    Chelsea Ann was married to a man whose company sold for nearly a billion dollars. Homes across the world, nannies, staff, every material thing money could buy. Then came a prayer at the base of the Dalai Lama's temple, and nine months later she found herself at the Great Pyramid, hearing from a man who told her she'd spend her life teaching women something else entirely: how to return to their own nature. 

    In this episode, Chelsea Ann and Wendy explore:

    • What it actually looked like to walk away from a life of extreme wealth instead of toward one, and why she never expected the prayer to actually be answered
    • The gap she kept finding in how women are taught, or not taught, to become mothers, and why she wrote her first two books to fill it
    • How her work as a menopause practitioner and her spiritual teaching intersect, and why she believes "returning to a woman's nature" is an actual practice, not just a metaphor

    Chelsea Ann's story isn't a rags-to-riches arc, or even a riches-to-rags one. It's what happens when someone decides the life everyone else is chasing isn't the one she wants, even without a clear picture of what comes next.

    From Stuck in a Chair at 60 to Thriving at 87 | Susanne Eden

    Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

    DM Wendy on Instagram: instagram.com/wendy.harrop

    or email her at [email protected]


    Susanne Eden turned 60 and thought her life was over. She could barely get out of a chair, was on 200 units of insulin a day, and had spent years on prednisone that had quietly wrecked her endocrine system. Now 87, she's the author of Healing from the Inside, Living Fully As You Age. 

    Susanne and Wendy explore:

    • What actually changed when she stopped waiting for a doctor to hand her the answer and started experimenting with holistic and energy-based healing instead
    • Why she believes health, aging, and self-worth are impossible to separate, and how trying to treat them individually is where so many people get stuck
    • The recent loss of a close friend, and the recorded conversation they shared in her friend's final months that became part of a new project called Conversations with Susanne

    Susanne's story isn't about reversing a diagnosis or finding a miracle fix. It's about what happens when someone finally stops outsourcing the answer and starts paying attention to what her own body and mind were trying to tell her all along.
