Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and those navigating major life transitions like divorce, reinvention, and rediscovery. If you're ready to shed old roles and finally put yourself first, you're in the right place.
In this episode, Wendy sits down with serial entrepreneur Italia Tornabene, a powerhouse who's currently building three businesses simultaneously while protecting her energy and choosing peace, clarity, and legacy building. From her early days as a 21-year-old paralegal business owner to becoming a self-made millionaire through unconventional investing, Italia shares her incredible journey of resilience, reinvention, and relentless growth.
They explore:
- Building and scaling multiple seven-figure businesses from scratch
- Unconventional investing strategies that turned pennies into thousands in ROI
- Why perfectionism paralyzes progress and how to launch before you're "ready"
This conversation is a masterclass in saying yes to expansion, trusting the journey, and understanding that perfectionism is just procrastination in disguise. Italia's story proves that every challenge is data, every pivot is progress, and when you're building an empire, the only person standing in your way is you.
Ready to stop waiting for perfect and start building your legacy? Listen now and get inspired to take that next bold step.
