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 talks with Sheridan Ruth, a somatic practitioner and teacher, about nervous system healing, emotional clarity, and the practice of committing to yourself. Sheridan opens up about what happens when life doesn’t unfold the way you imagined and shares how rooting into the body allows women to release control and choose what truly feels nourishing.
They explore:
- The pain of realizing when life or relationships don’t look the way you expected
- The shift that happens when you choose how you want to feel each day
- How nervous system awareness opens the door to clarity, alignment, and emotional freedom
This is a must-listen for anyone ready to release control, reconnect with their body, and say yes to what truly feels nourishing.
