What Happens When You Stop Forcing and Start Sourcing | Dr. Camille Preston
Join Wendy for a 90-minute Word of the Year workshop designed to help you discover the word that wants to walk beside you this year—not as a goal to achieve, but as a way of being.
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 Dr. Camille Preston, who woke up one day at 4 am with an entire book outline downloaded into her consciousness. After five deaths in five months and a lifetime of accepting lies she was sold about what success should look like, Camille wrote "Living Real," a manifesto for redefining success, presence, and happiness on your own terms.
They explore:
- How tension creates consciousness and why holding it with compassion opens the next level of possibility thinking
- The difference between forcing, resourcing, and sourcing, and why operating from source changes everything
- Why we change more often from pain than pleasure, and how strengthening your container allows you to hold more
This is a conversation about building the capacity to feel the full range of life, dismantling the thought system based on fear, and trusting that when doors start opening after you say yes, something is meant to come through you.
