Transformation and New Beginnings With Wendy Pérez-Contreras
I’m excited to welcome Wendy Pérez-Contreras back to the podcast for the next part of her story. In her first episode, Wendy shared her incredible journey of coming to the U.S. at just four years old. She talked about her challenges as a first-generation Latina and how she achieved her dream of attending Brown University. Her story showed the strength of community, the power of resilience, and the love that helps us through tough times.
Now, Wendy is back to tell us how her journey has changed. She talks about her brave choice to leave her beloved Brooklyn and start fresh in the Midwest. Wendy’s story is about faith, trust, and finding herself while staying connected to her roots.
This conversation highlights the beauty of change and the importance of facing life’s uncertainties with grace and determination. Wendy’s journey reminds us that even when we don't know what’s next, our faith and community can help guide us.
Join us for this heartfelt episode as Wendy shares her wisdom, vulnerability, and authenticity. Check out this episode’s teaser and visit our website for the entire episode.
