In this episode, Wendy sits down with Dr. Deb Butler, former chiropractor turned mindset and weight coach who helps women understand why they overeat and teaches them to feel their feelings instead of filling them with food. After 30 years working on people's bodies, Dr. Deb realized she was better at getting into their heads, so she pivoted to brain-based eating and emotional work.

They explore:

• Why overeating isn't self-sabotage (it's your brain trying to take care of you)
• The difference between filling your feelings and feeling your feelings
• Why enjoying food mindfully is beautiful when you're not using it to avoid what you're feeling

This is a conversation about agency, permission, and the messy middle of transformation. This episode invites you to consider: What if you're not broken? What if your brain is just trying to help? And what if the only permission you're waiting for is your own?

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Sophie Lechner, marketing strategist and author who helps entrepreneurs use AI to create deeper connection (not just faster content). Sophie is a connector and idea factory who believes AI is making marketing harder, not easier, because everyone sounds the same now, and people are more skeptical than ever.

They explore:

• Why AI is making it harder to stand out
• How to use prompts that take you through your entire life story to pull out what makes you uniquely you
• Why marketing stops feeling like marketing when you approach it with the same love and generosity you bring to client work

This is a conversation about human-to-human connection in the age of AI. Sophie shares how she uses AI as a thinking partner (not just a shortcut) and helps entrepreneurs dig into their clients' deeper beliefs that keep them from saying yes. When your marketing connects your humanity to your client's humanity, it stops being marketing. It becomes client work.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Dana Williams, leadership strategist and author of Internal Revolution: Lead Authentically and Build Your Personal Brand From Within. Dana helps leaders stop performing and start using their unique CliftonStrengths—because we're 1 in 34 million with those talents, and nobody else was made to do what we were made to do.

They explore:

• Why things are hard when we're performing but easy when we're using our unique talents
• How to manage your energy instead of your time
• Why procrastination is an indicator from your inner wisdom that someone else should be doing this

This is a conversation about giving yourself permission to stop honing your weaknesses and lean into what comes naturally. Dana breaks down the four domains of CliftonStrengths (executing, strategic thinking, relationship building, influencing) and why partnering with people who have complementary strengths changes everything. Stop performing. Start leading. Start being you.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Dyna Vink, functional medicine health coach who sold everything in Canada and moved to Panama two years ago to reinvent her life. After navigating 13 years of perimenopause with little help from traditional medicine, Dyna discovered functional medicine testing that revealed what her doctor's tests couldn't see.

They explore:

• Why most doctors have no education about perimenopause
• What functional medicine tests reveal that traditional blood work misses
• Why women put themselves last when it comes to health and resources

This is a conversation about taking your health into your own hands when traditional medicine says "your tests are normal" but you know something isn't right. Dyna breaks down the five functional medicine tests she uses, what they cost, and why investing in yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary.

In this very special episode with the first male guest in Say Yes to Yourself history, Wendy sits down with Max Lewis, an entrepreneur who sold his propane exchange business for $37 million in 2017. Max shares the exact manifestation practices that took him from writing down an "insane" goal to receiving a check that changed his life.

They explore:

• Why asking yourself empowering questions is more powerful than having all the answers
• How writing down your goal and reading it daily with emotion changes your frequency (and your results)
• Why he cut off anyone (friends, family, even his best friend) who didn't support his vision

This is a conversation about saying yes to what you want without letting price tags stop you, why faith without works is dead, and understanding that the goal isn't about the thing. It's about who you become in the pursuit. Max didn't care about the money. He cared about proving to himself he could overcome the obstacle his mind created.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Johanna Danaher, leadership coach and founder of Anchor to Aspire, who helps leaders shift from reacting to choosing. After 25 years in corporate HR, Johanna reinvented herself as a solopreneur coach, building a business around the paradox of the ocean: you must be anchored in yourself to aspire to greatness.

They explore:

• Why every unaligned yes is a no to something that matters more
• How to shift from inner critic (beating yourself up) to inner coach (asking deeper questions)
• Why creating ritual and ceremony around tasks you avoid makes them easier to do

This is a conversation about choosing joy even in chaos, holding paradox without toxic positivity, and learning how to talk to ourselves in ways we'd talk to someone we love. Stop critiquing yourself. Start coaching instead.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Vivian Okeke, HR consultant and entrepreneur, who helps solopreneurs build the systems and culture they need before they hire their first employee. After losing her older brother suddenly last year, Vivian made a decision: stop overthinking, stop waiting for perfect, and start saying yes to opportunities that add value—even when they feel uncomfortable.

They explore:

• Why you need standard operating procedures (SOPs) before your first hire, and how to create them without it feeling overwhelming
• How to redirect the "can I pick your brain?" conversation and start charging what you're worth
• Why entrepreneurship doesn't have to be lonely when you build community and collaborate with other business owners

This is a conversation about stepping out of your comfort zone, valuing your expertise enough to charge for it, and building the infrastructure for your business now, before you think you need it. What if the knowledge you've spent years acquiring deserves to be valued, not given away?

This episode is part of the 4th edition of Podcasthon—the world's largest podcast charity initiative, bringing together podcasters globally to raise awareness for important causes. For one week, more than a thousand podcasts highlight a charity of their choice, uniting voices to make an impact and increase awareness for amazing nonprofits.

In this special Podcasthon 2026 episode, Wendy welcomes back Susan Tripi, founder of The Sparrow Collective—the first supportive living community in Massachusetts exclusively for women transitioning through divorce. Susan turned her own devastating divorce into a mission to prevent what the statistics reveal: 80% of women are unprepared to navigate divorce, 44% fall into poverty post-divorce, and $113.5 billion in child support sits in arrears.

The Sparrow Collective isn't a shelter. It's a sanctuary. A fully equipped, intentionally designed community providing safe housing, comprehensive empowerment programming, and holistic support for women in the critical 1-3 year window after divorce—the period when women are most vulnerable to slipping into poverty.

They explore:

• Why slowing down and allowing space to breathe is essential when building something transformational
• What happened when the "perfect" property fell through—and how Susan held the vision with loose hands
• Why this model is replicable and scalable across underutilized properties nationwide

This is a conversation about holding big vision with open hands, trusting divine timing even when doors close, and understanding that the energy behind the movement doesn't stop when one opportunity ends.
