When I was in my twenties, I lived my life by everyone else’s rules. I was raised to please others and put my needs last.

I said yes when I meant no.
I became depleted and resentful and drank my feelings away. This worked - until it didn't.

I reached rock bottom, spent time in recovery and therapy, and began to learn the importance of self-care, authentic living, and emotional healing.

In my life and in my work, I've seen how lives can be transformed when healthy coping strategies are implemented.

After getting sober, I had the courage and clarity to leave an unhealthy marriage, attend graduate school, and work as a therapist.

I later went on to publish my first book, and seeing the success it had in helping people, I started my own business, teaching people the things I wish I had learned in my twenties, thirties and beyond.

Speaking to groups and empowering individuals to live their best life is my passion. I love helping others find their voice, gain authenticity, establish healthy boundaries, and learn to live their best life.

Where I am now is a true testament to Wendy. I believe in myself. I have the tools and the understanding of why I became an alcoholic. Wendy has been my angel--I always know I can call her.

Working with Wendy changed me for the better, for good. She taught me how to actually take care of myself, to feel my feelings, to breathe, to check in, to be present, to put myself first without guilt.

She motivates you to be the best version of yourself while also being compassionate and understanding for yourself and others. Every conversation we have bring a smile to my face and peace to my day. Her book, Your Life Your Rules, is always a book I recommend to family and friends. I read the book front to back in just a few hours, feeling a sense of calmness, kindness, and love for myself after every page. I finished the book motivated and inspired to implement the self-care tools to claim the life I want.
