Welcome to She Speaks: Women’s Wisdom for Every Woman, where we celebrate women’s voices, honor women's wisdom, and share our sacred stories. Hosted by Char Wilson of Wilson Phoenix Wellness - MindBodySoul wellness content creator, coach, and spiritual teacher.

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Kathryn Sawyer, a spiritual development coach and intuitive healer. Together, we dive into our personal journeys of breaking free from burnout, shedding the hustle, and finding our way back home to our true selves.

Kathryn opens up about her transition from a fast-paced medical career to a slower, more intentional life that allowed her to reconnect with her authentic self. We explore the power of pausing, tuning into your breath, and listening to your body as ways to align with what you really want—and to set boundaries that protect your powerful feminine energy.

We also talk about how mastery isn’t a destination but an ongoing, ever-evolving process of growth and self-discovery. Kathryn shares so many gems in this conversation, including her advice to her younger self: “You can’t save anyone.”

If you’re ready to stop running on empty and start living in alignment with what feels good and true for you, this episode is filled with practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement to help you embrace your authentic self.
