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 changesWhy making the bold move is step four, not the place to beginHow journaling, creativity, and other physical practices can move an experience out of your head and help you understand what is happening within youMajor 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.

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 stuckHow to trust your growth instead of assuming you’ll repeat your past mistakesWhat it means to interrupt inherited patterns while allowing yourself and your children to have different experiencesIf 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.

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 reactivelyHow pausing to assess where you are can prevent burnout and ultimately shorten the path forwardWhat a season of saying no taught Tricia about boundaries, values, and recognizing the right yesWhether 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 yourselfWhy breathwork does not need to produce a dramatic emotional release to be meaningfulHow Romy began viewing devastating loss as a catalyst to reclaim her voice and reinvent her lifeIf 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.

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 needsWhy caring for yourself is not another task on your list, but the foundation that supports everything elseWhat it means to trust yourself, receive support, and choose what brings you joyIf 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.

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 hideHow sharing your story in a safe, nonjudgmental space can loosen shame’s hold and create meaningful connectionWhat it means to stop performing as the person others expect and begin choosing what you genuinely want for yourselfThis 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 reactingWhat it actually took to leave a stable job with zero clients lined up, simply because staying didn't feel right anymoreThe difference between forcing an outcome and taking inspired action, then trusting the timing to work itself outCarrie'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.

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 itThe disconnect Sonya sees constantly between what someone says they want and what their actual physical surroundings are set up to supportHow 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 reachSonya'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.

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 satisfiedThe small, consistent rituals Martine uses to reset her nervous system daily, and why tiny, repeated habits do more than one big gesture ever couldWhy so many women only give themselves permission to ask for help when something has gone wrong, and never when things are going wellMartine'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!
