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.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kathleen Conner, coach and host of the Chasing Purpose Podcast. Kathleen spent years presenting a perfect image to the world while feeling deeply out of sync internally, until one moment of disgust became her catalyst for change.
They explore:
- Why your vibrational baseline attracts the people and experiences around you
- How to recognize when you're performing instead of being authentic
- The "basket" metaphor: why women carry everyone's load and how to put it down with kindness
Kathleen talks about moving from perfectionism to alignment, making small daily choices (being 1% better), and raising interdependent children instead of independent ones. She shares how breaking your own patterns is the only way your children will do things differently.
This is a conversation about getting honest with yourself when your outside doesn't match your inside, and choosing alignment over image.
