The Entertaining with Ease Bundle
Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and anyone navigating life after divorce, burnout, or big transitions. If you're ready to shed cultural expectations, reconnect with your true self, and put your joy first—you’re in the right place.
In this episode, Wendy sits down with her dear friend Jen Kantor, a licensed clinical social worker who traded paycheck-to-paycheck life in Seattle for a bold international adventure. Jen moved to Brazil with her five-year-old daughter, then to Switzerland, creating a life filled with community, global education, and views that look like a Ricola commercial.
They explore:
- Why international schools provide housing, airfare, and full benefits—making adventure more accessible than you think
- Balancing ethical responsibility with abundance: how to stop trying to suffer the world better
- Why magical thinking takes practice and how everything always works out
Tune in for a grounded, openhearted conversation about choosing a different path and discovering what’s possible when you stop waiting for the right time and start following what feels aligned.
