In Episode 6 of Winging It with Wendy, Wendy S. Burton welcomes her dear friend Stephanie Staples — Canada's newest inductee into the Speaking Hall of Fame, entrepreneur, author, and podcaster — for a conversation about something Wendy believes deeply: that sometimes, our Angels don't just walk beside us. Sometimes, they work through us.

Stephanie shares two stories that will stop you in your tracks. The first begins on a quiet California beach, where a chance encounter with a stranger led to a walk that may have saved a life — and ended, months later, with a wedding invitation. The second is a story of reciprocity 40 years in the making, built on a blind date, a beloved Grade 1 teacher, and a handmade card kept for an entire career.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- The Angel on the Beach ... you can't always tell what someone is carrying. Being present and unhurried might be the most important thing you do today.

- The Story You're Carrying ... the story of Stephanie's mom's love letter gave a stranger on a beach the hope he needed. The story you carry might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

- Reciprocity Takes Its Own Shape ... good comes back around, but not always in the timing or the form you expect. Mrs. Gregoire gave a shy little girl love. Forty years later, she got it back.

- Take Care of Yourself So You Can Show Up ... you can only be fully present for someone else when you're not running on empty.

- When You Get the Nudge to Connect People, Listen ... that feeling might be your Angels working through you.

What happens when two people who have spent years listening to their Angels finally sit down together?

In Episode 5 of Winging It with Wendy, Wendy S. Burton welcomes Sue Elliott — author, entrepreneur, and the host and founder of My Angel Coach — for a conversation that is equal parts laughter, revelation, and practical Angel wisdom. Sue spent more than thirty years in automotive and chef-focused publishing before the Angels started making themselves impossible to ignore. From the nudge that made this very conversation happen, to a crowded room that suddenly went black and white, to the one phrase that changes everything about how you ask for what you want... this one stays with you.

TAKEAWAYS

- The Nudge You Almost Ignored ... even the smallest instruction — "email her from your Gmail" — can open a door that changes everything.

- Stop Saying "I Can't Afford It" ... try "that's not how I choose to spend my money" instead, and feel the difference in your whole system.

- "Of Courseness" ... Angel guidance rarely announces itself with fanfare. It arrives quietly, settles everything, and simply feels like truth.

- The Angel Delegation Statement ... instead of asking or pleading, try: "Thank you, Angels, for taking care of ___." Then leave it with them.

- Your Original Factory Settings ... before the world got involved, you were curious, open, and unafraid. Your Angels want to help you find your way back.

What happens when a sign shows up the very moment a story is told? In this episode of WingingIt with Wendy, Wendy welcomes her very first guest, Erin Schulze from a suburb just outside Chicago, who shares a marble story that quietly changed her life... and now numbers in the hundreds.

Erin walks us through the marble her dad carried for fifteen sober years, the second marble she found two steps into his backyard, the pouch she swore she had lost, the morning she said goodbye to her friend Eric, and the simple way she began asking her Angels for guidance. Warm, honest, and full of small wonders.

TAKEAWAYS

The Marble in the Mulch ... a sign can arrive the moment the story is told.

The Missing Pouch ... what feels lost is often closer than you think.

The Marble for Eric ... grief can come with proof you are not alone.

Three for Yes, Two for No ... a specific ask makes the answers easier to spot.

Have you ever wanted something so specific that, if it actually showed up, you would have to stop and wonder? In this episode of Winging It with Wendy, Wendy S. Burton shares a few true stories from people in her life who decided to test that idea for themselves... and what happened when they did.

From a lost engagement ring that turned up in the most unlikely spot, to a scrapbook that seemed made for one person, to a quiet evening that no one in the room could quite explain, these are the small moments that make you pause and stay curious. The thread running through all of them is simple. Ask for something specific, then notice what shows up.

TAKEAWAYS

The Ring ... a specific ask brings back what was lost, and a skeptic believes.

The Vision Book ... let a doubter choose the store, the right one still shows up.

The Purple Lace Bra ... Angels can find the impossible, and the small stuff too.

The Endless Bottle of Wine ... comfort can arrive in the hardest moments.

Your Angels are listening. And if you ask them for exactly the right things... they will show up in ways that will leave you completely speechless.

In Episode 2 of Winging It with Wendy, host Wendy S. Burton delivers on the promise she made last week — the three asks she put out to her Angels, and exactly how each one came true. Free VIP concert tickets to a show she never expected. A perfect pair of jeans carried halfway around the world by a stranger for two and a half years. And a telescope handed to her with two hands by the most skeptical person she knows. Each story is more surprising than the last... and together they just might change how you think about asking for what you want.

TAKEAWAYS

- The Three Ask works — but specificity is everything. Wendy's three requests were detailed, personal, and wonderfully weird. That's exactly why they landed.

- Don't reorder what you've already asked for. Once you've put it out there, trust it's coming. Checking and re-asking keeps you in doubt, not in belief.

- Share your ask out loud. The jeans found Wendy because she told the story. Your Angels may work through the people already around you.

- Watch your words. Saying "I want" keeps you in a state of wanting. Try "I'm so excited to receive this" instead — your Angels will appreciate the upgrade.

What do you do when you're down to your last $5, your car is on empty, and you still need to show up for your kids? You surrender... and then something extraordinary happens.

In this very first episode of Winging It with Wendy, host Wendy S. Burton shares the story that started it all — the moment she stopped fighting, asked for help, and received something so specific, so perfectly timed, that she couldn't call it anything other than a miracle. From a brand new gas station to a family-size bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, to a tiny yellow bird singing in the rain... this is where it all begins.

TAKEAWAYS

- Sometimes surrender is the most powerful thing you can do — and what comes next might surprise you.

- Your Angels are listening. The moment Wendy stopped fighting and simply said "you figure it out" was the moment things shifted.

- Coincidence or something more? Wendy shares why she stopped calling it luck and started paying closer attention.

- The Three Ask: Wendy introduces the idea of asking your Angels for three specific, even wonderfully weird things — and why that specificity matters.
