Following Desire into a New Chapter | Tammara Gardner
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
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 welcomes Tammara Gardner for a powerful conversation about midlife reinvention, desire as a compass, and the courage it takes to step out of the life you built and into the one you truly want. After more than twenty years in corporate law, Tammara chose to follow an inner calling that led her toward personal development, writing, teaching, and supporting women through transformational shifts. Together, they explore what it looks like to leave the familiar “line,” embrace a new chapter with intention, and reconnect with the desires that have been waiting beneath the surface.
They explore:
- How desire becomes a guide for midlife reinvention and personal expansion
- What it takes to step out of the “line” and let go of lives that no longer fit
- The 12 Guiding Stars System and how it helps women align with what they truly want
Tune in and hear the honest, inspiring conversation behind what it really takes to follow desire into the next chapter of your life.
