In this episode, Wendy sits down with Rachel Jackson, CEO embodiment strategist, for a conversation about breaking old corporate patterns and learning to do business with more ease, intuition, and self-trust. Rachel shares why emotions act as a tuning fork for the voice you’re listening to, and how we often know something is complete energetically before our minds catch up.
They explore:
- Feeling darker emotions without getting stuck in them
- Why staying after your energy has moved on serves no one
- How surrender isn’t giving up the dream, but releasing resistance
Press play and learn why you're meant to outgrow things, and that's okay.
