Personal Growth & Reinvention for Women | say YES to yourself!
If you're ready to stop living by everyone else's expectations and start creating a life that feels authentic, intentional, and fully your own, you're in the right place.
Say YES to Yourself! is a personal growth podcast for women navigating life's transitions and asking, "What's next for me?" Through honest conversations and inspiring stories, host Wendy Harrop interviews women who have reinvented themselves, trusted their intuition, overcome life's challenges, and created meaningful change—one courageous yes at a time.
Every Wednesday and Friday, Wendy sits down with authors, entrepreneurs, coaches, creatives, and everyday women to share honest conversations about personal growth, life transitions, and what's possible when you choose yourself.
Whether you're navigating a career change, an empty nest, divorce, burnout, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself, this podcast will remind you that your next chapter is still waiting to be written.
You'll find conversations about:
- Personal growth and self-discovery
- Reinvention and life's transitions
- Building confidence and trusting yourself
- Purpose, fulfillment, and intentional living
- Career changes and entrepreneurship
- Relationships, boundaries, and people-pleasing
- Divorce, grief, healing, and resilience
- Creativity, courage, and living boldly
- Women's empowerment and authentic leadership
This podcast explores questions like:
• How do I reinvent myself when life no longer fits?
• How do I stop people-pleasing and start trusting myself?
• How do I rebuild after divorce, grief, or a major life transition?
• How do I find purpose in my next chapter?
• How do I create a life that feels aligned instead of expected?
• How do I build confidence after years of putting everyone else first?
• Is it too late to change careers, start a business, or follow a dream?
• How do I reconnect with the woman I've become?
If you're looking for encouragement, practical wisdom, and real stories from women who have chosen themselves—and found something even better on the other side—welcome.
Your best chapter doesn't happen by accident.
It begins the moment you say YES to yourself.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
This week on the say YES to yourself! podcast Wendy talks with the delightful Sylvie Mazerolle, the photographer from the recent PWH On the Road trip to the Charente Maritime for the Cookbook project.
They talk about the intentionality of seizing the opportunities, and asking yourself ‘what do I really want now?’ Sylvie shares her desire to capture life through her visual media, and to showcase what she calls a ‘Slice of Life.’ Seeing those moments that are precious and delicious and saying YES to them.
Wendy and Sylvie also talk about the ripple effects of our decisions and how they can be a gift for us but also to others. They also talk about how when we grab those moments that are there for us magic happens!
Get to Know Sylvie
Sylvie is a professional photographer with over 15 years experience as a visual artist. Eight of those years were spent as a professional makeup artist in Toronto’s film and fashion industry. Now based in Dieppe New-Brunswick Canada, you can find her behind the lens creating beautiful images for others to enjoy. In her photography, she focuses on using natural light as much as possible and trusting in not just what she sees, but how she sees it. She uses both her past experience in color theory and storytelling as well as her intuition. The results are rich, elegant images that evoke emotions. In addition to traveling, portraits, and food photography, she mentors others on how to unlock their own creativity. “ Photographs are the only thing capable of freezing the passing of time in today's fast-paced world. It’s a way to slow down and be present. When I am photographing just for me, it’s a form of self care and art therapy. It can be very meditative. There is beauty everywhere. Slow down and take a moment to appreciate it, taste it, and get to know it. Enjoy a Slice Of Life.”
