In this episode, Wendy sits down with Amber RichBook, a Forbes-featured transformational speaker, author, and personal mastery guide who helps individuals and organizations develop greater clarity, emotional intelligence, and self-trust. Amber shares how she models self-love and emotional responsibility for her three daughters, why she ultimately stepped away from corporate life, and what it means to build a life around your own alignment rather than someone else’s expectations. She also opens up about the experiences behind her TEDx Talk, Life Isn’t Happening To You, It’s Happening For You, and the practices that have helped her meet profound challenges with compassion, sovereignty, and trust in herself.
They explore:
Why saying yes to yourself often requires saying no to others and accepting that they may be disappointed
How radical self-responsibility can restore your sense of agency without absolving others of their actions
What it means to honor your emotions, trust your inner guidance, and choose what is aligned for you now
This is a conversation about choosing yourself without requiring your life to resemble anyone else’s, remaining open to change, and meeting each new season with intention.

Content warning: This episode includes candid discussions of domestic abuse, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, explicit sexual content, and strong language. 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 hide
How sharing your story in a safe, nonjudgmental space can loosen shame’s hold and create meaningful connection
What it means to stop performing as the person others expect and begin choosing what you genuinely want for yourself
This 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.

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.

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.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Aline Ghorayeb, author of A Change of Heart with Mary Magdalene, to talk about the spiritual vision that changed the direction of her life. 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.

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.
