Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
In this episode, Wendy chats with business strategist Rita Suzanne for a candid conversation about setting boundaries and reclaiming your energy as a mom and entrepreneur. Rita shares how she’s been saying yes to herself by saying no to commitments that don’t serve her business or well-being. She explains how she shifted her focus to more profitable, aligned opportunities and restructured her time—setting boundaries around her calendar, limiting calls, and even removing work emails from her phone. Wendy and Rita discuss the importance of course-correcting when something isn’t working, empowering others rather than being overly accessible, and the freedom that comes from letting go of the need to please everyone. Tune in for tips on how to take control of your time, set clear boundaries, and show up for yourself in both life and business.
