WHAT I LOVE

I have always been intrigued by people that have overcome obstacles and have undergone massive transformation within themselves and within their lives. Change requires a lot of courage, commitment and consistency to create a new person and a new life! I dig that! 

I have always studied ways in which we can conquer our greatest fears and live a life that we love. I not only learned by being an observer of the transformation in others, but most importantly, in myself. I became my own guinea pig of transformation! 

I dove deep into books, workshops, retreats, therapy, yoga, meditation, and any other method of personal development that I could devour. I became certified in Positive Psychology, a Heal Your Life workshop leader, a facilitator for The Desire Map, a Chopra Center University yoga instructor, a Master Practitioner of the Energy Leadership Index, and trained at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. Years and years of yummy wisdom led me to become an inspirational speaker, a whimsical writer, a life empowering coach and a super-duper happy podcaster! Woo-hoo!

Hey! I’m Wendy!

Here’s a bit about me and the road that led me here. Well, at least one of the roads.

Wendy’s World

A wee about me!

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference"

-Robert Frost

When I hit my mid-forties, I made the choice to take the road less traveled by. The road that would lead me back to myself. The road that leads to freedom. The road that leads to being untethered, extraordinary, and my true authentic self. The road that is all about living life to the fullest.

Prior to happily skipping down the road of freedom, I was unhappily stumbling down the road of monotony. I got lost in the everyday shuffle of life. Something had to change, and quick, or I would be on my way to the road of misery. 

I realized that my life, and myself, needed a complete overhaul. During my time of transformation, I went through a divorce, albeit a peaceful divorce, took a job I didn’t love, moved halfway across the country, worked my arse off to shovel away mounds of debt, and unfortunately watched my brother pass away. 

I BECAME MY OWN BEST FRIEND AND SPOKE KIND WORDS TO MYSELF

I STEPPED INTO THE SHOES OF THE WOMAN I WANTED TO BECOME

I PULLED UP MY BOOTSTRAPS AND WENT AFTER MY DREAM LIFE

All considering, the twists and turns on the road to freedom were so worth it. Sometimes you must deconstruct your old life in order to reconstruct your new life. Speaking of new, I am a new woman now. A woman that loves herself, is true to herself, and lives life on her terms. 

The best part about all the crazy roads that led me here is that I discovered my purpose in life, which involves you! I want to encourage, empower and guide you to becoming your most magnificent self and living a life that sets your soul on fire! That’s not fluffy talk either! I am the guinea pig that has proven it can be done!

I am grateful that you are on this wild journey with me! Let’s have some fun!

BY DECLUTTERING MY LIFE AND MY MIND, I SET MYSELF FREE

BY LOVING MYSELF, I SET MYSELF FREE
