Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!What if your next chapter could be born in a beautiful city… while you gave yourself permission to dream? Space to Dream Global Workshops: wendy-harrop.com/experiences-cart/p/space-to-dream-globalSonya Weisshappel calls herself the Chaos Whisperer, and her business card should probably read more like a dictionary than a title — she helps people move through major life transitions by starting with what's actually around them, whether that's a friend circle that no longer fits or a lifetime of inherited belongings nobody's touched since a loved one died. In this episode, Sonya and Wendy explore:Why it's okay to let go of relationships that used to be a match and no longer are, and how to trust that shift without needing to explain itThe disconnect Sonya sees constantly between what someone says they want and what their actual physical surroundings are set up to supportHow organizing a closet, a junk drawer, or a lifetime of inherited belongings is rarely just about the stuff, and why the physical work often opens a side door into grief that talk therapy alone doesn't always reachSonya's approach isn't about decluttering, or networking, for their own sake. It's about recognizing that your surroundings — people included — should actually reflect what you want now, not just what you've always had.Connect with Sonya:seriatim.netConfessions of a Chaos Whisperer: My Life as an Organizing Guru, Business Owner, and Mom https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Chaos-Whisperer-Sonya-Weisshappel/dp/B0CTGD5HZD?tag=syty-20Referenced in this Episode:The One Question that Shifts Everything | Aransas Savas buzzsprout.com/1872382/episodes/18652692The Numerology of Endings and Renewal | Dina Berrin buzzsprout.com/1872382/episodes/18106144________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?
