say YES to yourself!
Saying yes to yourself is not about being selfish, it's more about self-preservation, self-care, self-compassion. It’s a practice and it’s like any muscle that needs exercise - it’s awkward until it’s elegant. Each week on the say YES to yourself! podcast you’ll hear stories from women just like us who are adding this practice to their daily lives in big and small ways and as a result are experiencing the truth that everybody wins when you say YES to yourself!

Saying YES to a New Life in Panama with Melissa Darnay
Mark your calendars for the next Say Yes Summit on June 17th & 18th!
In this heartfelt conversation, Wendy is joined by Melissa Darnay to explore how grief, courage, and curiosity led her to a vibrant new life in Panama. After losing her husband, Melissa knew she needed something big enough to meet the weight of her loss—and that “yes” took her far beyond what she expected. Together, they talk about the healing power of new experiences, the joy of connecting with a like-minded ex-pat community, and what it really means to say yes to yourself, even when others don’t understand. If you’ve ever wondered what’s waiting on the other side of a bold decision, this episode will meet you right there.
