In this episode I share the moment I realized that the stress I was feeling was not coming from my circumstances. It was coming from the story I was telling myself about them. I talk about a designer who simply decided she does not get stressed, and how that one conversation opened my eyes to the possibility that things I had labeled as hard might actually get to be fun.

I share how two teachers can experience the same classroom in completely different ways, how my own thoughts used to make simple things feel heavy, and how shifting my perspective has lowered my stress and made my days lighter. I also talk about my new mantra that has changed everything for me. Not only does it always work out, but it is fun.

If you are feeling weighed down by something right now, this episode will help you see your situation through a different lens and choose a new story that makes your life feel lighter and more enjoyable.

In this episode of Not Anymore, I share a story that stopped me in my tracks. I was at the doctor’s office where my kids were laughing and having fun, and I was embarrassed and frustrated, worried about what everyone else was thinking. That moment became a mirror that showed me how often I tie my worth as a mom to how “put together” everything looks on the outside.

I talk about what it means to give ourselves permission to feel and to stop pretending we’re fine when we’re not, and to understand that emotional intelligence isn’t about being happy all the time. It’s about learning to recognize, name, and regulate our emotions so they work for us instead of against us.

If you’ve ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like you’re failing because you can’t keep it all together, this episode is for you. Together, we’ll unpack how to manage emotions, let go of perfection, and remember that it’s okay to not be okay. Because the path to peace isn’t about forcing positivity — it’s about giving yourself permission to feel.

For most of my life, I loved being the one cheering everyone else on.
I’d send encouraging texts, celebrate people’s wins, and show up like their biggest hype girl. But deep down, I was craving that same kind of cheerleader. Someone to notice me, to tell me I was doing a good job.

And if I’m being honest, that need for validation caused tension in my marriage, exhaustion in my hustle, and an emptiness I couldn’t shake.

Everything changed the day a mentor looked me straight in the eyes and said,

“Wendy, it’s your job to cheer yourself on. It’s your job to be your biggest cheerleader, no one else’s.”

That truth completely shifted how I show up for myself and my life.
In this episode, I’m sharing the exact process I used to stop seeking external validation and start building my own home court advantage.

I’ll walk you through my C.H.E.E.R. framework: the five simple habits that helped me learn how to celebrate myself, honor my progress, encourage my heart, express my dreams, and reflect on how far I’ve come.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unappreciated, or like no one notices how hard you’re trying this episode will remind you that you are the fan you’ve been waiting for.
