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

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Sarah Barnes-Humphrey about what happens when your entire life plan disappears overnight. Ten days before her 37th birthday, the family business she'd wanted to run since age 16 closed its doors. Job gone. Title gone. Future gone. It was the worst day of her life, but she didn't stay there.

They explore:

• When you lose everything, you discover what you're actually made of, and how resilience looks less like inspiration and more like showing up broken
• The moment someone told her the work was worth $1,000 and she believed it: how discovering your worth changes everything
• The ongoing battle: autoimmune disease, panic attacks since her 20s, a dysregulated nervous system, but continuing to say yes to what matters anyway

Sarah's story isn't about bouncing back perfectly or finding the silver lining. It's about climbing out of rock bottom while still carrying the wounds. It's about rebuilding while your body and mind are still fighting. It's raw, honest, and real.
