Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and anyone navigating life after divorce, burnout, or big transitions. If you're ready to shed cultural expectations, reconnect with your true self, and put your joy first—you’re in the right place.

In this episode, Wendy talks with Jill White, former educator turned business strategist and mentor for spiritually-driven women. Jill shares her journey of leaving a successful career in school leadership to build a business that aligns with her values, and helps other women do the same. Through faith, reinvention, and deep inner work, she’s learned how to turn purpose into a sustainable path that supports both impact and rest.

They explore:

• How to recognize when life (or faith) is nudging you toward reinvention
• The courage it takes to leave a successful path and trust where you’re being led
• What it means to build a career and life that reflects your true calling

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about letting go of “shoulds,” honoring your calling, and creating a life, that feels like home.

Dec 17: How to Host a New Year's Eve Party

The Entertaining with Ease Bundle

In this episode, Wendy talks with Cassy Williamson, speaker, leadership coach, and author of Unapologetic: A Journey to Living Boldly, Loving Fiercely, and Being Nothing But Yourself. Cassy shares her mission to help women stop dimming their light, unlearn the habit of “earning” their worth, and show up fully as who they are — at work, at home, and in every relationship. With humor and heart, she and Wendy explore what it means to be unapologetically whole, even when life feels messy.

They explore:

• The difference between “earning your worth” and “dimming your light” — and how to stop doing both
• Why your “best yes” sometimes looks like saying no, walking away, or closing a chapter
• How learning to ask for help (and receive it) can expand your capacity for connection, courage, and joy

Tune in for an energizing reminder that you don’t need to shrink to fit someone else’s version of enough — you already are.

Dec 17: How to Host a New Year's Eve Party

The Entertaining with Ease Bundle

In this episode, Wendy talks with memoirist and former actress Alison Rand, whose extraordinary life journey has been shaped by loss, love, reinvention, and the profound wisdom of her beloved dog, Dea. Alison shares how writing two deeply honest memoirs helped her understand her own resilience, navigate grief, and ultimately learn to trust herself again. Through humor, vulnerability, and the lens of a dog’s-eye view, she offers a moving reflection on identity, connection, and what it means to choose yourself after life has asked you to begin again.

They explore:

• How self-trust grows after years of doubt, loss, and seeking external permission
• The transformative power of memoir, and why writing from her dog’s perspective changed everything
• Loneliness, connection, and the healing impact of the human–animal bond

Tune in for a tender, wise, and unexpectedly joyful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the stories that shape us.
