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.

What does radical self-love look like when it becomes something you practice, not just something you say?
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.

What happens when a lifelong caregiver finally includes herself in the circle of care?
In this episode, Wendy sits down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Dori Martin to explore caregiving, burnout, self-trust, and the connection between joy and well-being. Dori shares how her partner’s terminal diagnosis—and her own experience of losing herself while caring for everyone else—changed the way she understands healing. Together, they consider what becomes possible when you stop carrying everyone else’s bags and start choosing what lights you up.
They explore:
- How lifelong caregivers can stop carrying everyone else’s burdens and begin listening to their own needs
- Why caring for yourself is not another task on your list, but the foundation that supports everything else
- What it means to trust yourself, receive support, and choose what brings you joy
If you’ve spent years taking care of everyone else while quietly losing touch with yourself, this conversation is an invitation to put down what was never yours to carry—and say yes to the life that lights you up.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Amber RichBook, a Forbes-featured transformational speaker, author, and personal mastery guide who helps individuals and organizations develop greater clarity, emotional intelligence, and self-trust. Amber shares how she models self-love and emotional responsibility for her three daughters, why she ultimately stepped away from corporate life, and what it means to build a life around your own alignment rather than someone else’s expectations. She also opens up about the experiences behind her TEDx Talk, Life Isn’t Happening To You, It’s Happening For You, and the practices that have helped her meet profound challenges with compassion, sovereignty, and trust in herself.
They explore:
- Why saying yes to yourself often requires saying no to others and accepting that they may be disappointed
- How radical self-responsibility can restore your sense of agency without absolving others of their actions
- What it means to honor your emotions, trust your inner guidance, and choose what is aligned for you now
This is a conversation about choosing yourself without requiring your life to resemble anyone else’s, remaining open to change, and meeting each new season with intention.

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.

23 September 2026, 7:00 am - 54 minutes 10 secondsStop 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.

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.

16 September 2026, 7:00 am - 58 minutes 34 secondsHow 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.
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
