Personal Growth & Reinvention for Women | say YES to yourself!
If you're ready to stop living by everyone else's expectations and start creating a life that feels authentic, intentional, and fully your own, you're in the right place.
Say YES to Yourself! is a personal growth podcast for women navigating life's transitions and asking, "What's next for me?" Through honest conversations and inspiring stories, host Wendy Harrop interviews women who have reinvented themselves, trusted their intuition, overcome life's challenges, and created meaningful change—one courageous yes at a time.
Every Wednesday and Friday, Wendy sits down with authors, entrepreneurs, coaches, creatives, and everyday women to share honest conversations about personal growth, life transitions, and what's possible when you choose yourself.
Whether you're navigating a career change, an empty nest, divorce, burnout, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself, this podcast will remind you that your next chapter is still waiting to be written.
You'll find conversations about:
- Personal growth and self-discovery
- Reinvention and life's transitions
- Building confidence and trusting yourself
- Purpose, fulfillment, and intentional living
- Career changes and entrepreneurship
- Relationships, boundaries, and people-pleasing
- Divorce, grief, healing, and resilience
- Creativity, courage, and living boldly
- Women's empowerment and authentic leadership
This podcast explores questions like:
• How do I reinvent myself when life no longer fits?
• How do I stop people-pleasing and start trusting myself?
• How do I rebuild after divorce, grief, or a major life transition?
• How do I find purpose in my next chapter?
• How do I create a life that feels aligned instead of expected?
• How do I build confidence after years of putting everyone else first?
• Is it too late to change careers, start a business, or follow a dream?
• How do I reconnect with the woman I've become?
If you're looking for encouragement, practical wisdom, and real stories from women who have chosen themselves—and found something even better on the other side—welcome.
Your best chapter doesn't happen by accident.
It begins the moment you say YES to yourself.

Join Wendy as she hosts this week’s special guest, Dena Jansen, author of 'Soul Farmer: Sowing Seeds of Change to Reap an Inspired Life.' Together, they explore the metaphor of farming as a pathway to personal growth. Dena shares how the growth cycle mirrors the natural rhythms of life, emphasizing the significance of planting new seeds of intention, to celebrating your harvest of personal achievements, and embracing the fallow periods for renewal. As they discuss the phases of planting, growing, and harvesting, listeners are encouraged to take inspired action while also embracing periods of rest and rejuvenation, recognizing that growth is cyclical, not linear. Tune in to learn how to say yes to yourself and cultivate a life rooted in trust and celebration at every step.
