Show Notes
In this heartfelt solo episode, Wendy shares what she’s been releasing in this Easter season, especially the lifelong pull of people-pleasing, shame, and trying to make everyone happy. She opens up about the deeper growth work that’s come with writing her new book, Fresh Start Your Family, and why this season has invited her to care more about what God thinks, what her own heart knows, and less about outside approval.
Wendy also reflects on what’s giving her hope in a heavy and heartbreaking time. From powerful insights she received at a recent leadership retreat, to the work of humanitarian Lynn Twist, Sarah Bessey, Sharon McMahon, and Dr. Shefali, this episode explores what it means to stay awake, use your voice, and keep choosing integrity, courage, and compassionate leadership, especially when the world feels dark.
This is a deeply personal conversation about rebirth, healing, faith, democratic parenting, and why the way we raise children truly does shape the future of humanity.
