    #172 - Say Yes....Then Feel What Happens

    Saying Yes isn't about doing more.It's about becoming more aware.It's about getting back in tune with your body.It's about noticing what happens when you say yes.This isn't a challenge to fill your calendar.It's a challenge to reconnect with yourself.It's a challenge to stop making every decision with your head and start listening to what your body has been trying to tell you.It's a challenge about alignment.It's a challenge for your mind.It's a challenge for your body.Because when your mind, body and actions are aligned, life starts to feel very different.So for the next week...Before you automatically say no, pause.Say yes...Then feel what happens.And if you haven't joined my annual event 'Spring Clean Your Mind and Body' be quick time is running out...literally.Click here for all the deets https://tinyurl.com/no-BS-retreatI have more about this in my new book 'A Crohn's Solution' which you can purchase here https://tinyurl.com/acrohnssolutionWendy x x

    #171 - Everything Is Always Working Out For Me (Here's Why)

    I'm not saying you'll never have challenges.I'm saying your energy determines how you meet those challenges.If you're constantly expecting life to be hard, that's the lens you'll see it through.If you're open to learning, growing and trusting that every experience has something to teach you, you'll start making different decisions.And different decisions create different lives.Maybe life isn't working against you. Maybe it's responding to the energy, beliefs and decisions you keep repeating.If you want to access more of this... come to 'Spring Clean Your Mind and Body' in September.

    #170 - Maybe It's Time

    Is it time for you to stop the normalising?Is it time for you to exhale and take on a new perspective?Is it time for you to create that life you've always wanted to create?Is it time for you to stop listening to others?Is it time for you to take a different approach?Is it time for you to stop feeling stuck?The truth for you is within. But you can't hear them when your mind is full of noise, stress, old stories and other people's opinions.Awareness changes everything.When you become aware of the patterns you've been living on autopilot, you stop asking, "Why isn't anything changing?" and start creating real change.Are you willing to be still long enough to hear what your mind and body have been trying to tell you?Spring Clean is your opportunity to pause, clear the BS and uncover what's really been holding you back.Because when you change what you're aware of, you change what you're able to create.The question is...Is It Time?I have more about this in my new book 'A Crohn's Solution' which you can purchase here https://tinyurl.com/acrohnssolutionIf you want to access more of this... come to 'Spring Clean Your Mind and Body' in September.Click here for all the deets https://tinyurl.com/no-BS-retreatWendy x x

    #169 - The Things We Normalise

    Staying present is a game changer.Because when you're present, you become aware.And awareness is the foundation of every lasting change.We normalise things that were never meant to be normal...• Living in constant stress and calling it "busy."• Overthinking every decision.• Living on autopilot instead of intentionally.• Accepting "this is just who I am."The truth is, if you don't create awareness, you'll keep repeating the same emotional, mental and physical patterns and wonder why nothing changes.Spring Clean is your opportunity to be still, clear the BS and uncover what's really been holding you back.Because when you change what you're aware of, you change what you're able to create.The question is...What have you been normalising that no longer deserves a place in your life?I have more about this in my new book 'A Crohn's Solution' which you can purchase here https://tinyurl.com/acrohnssolutionIf you want to access more of this... come to 'Spring Clean Your Mind and Body' in September.Click here for all the deets https://tinyurl.com/no-BS-retreatWendy x x

    #168 - The Moment The Pressure Lifted

    How long have you been waiting for the "right time"?How many Mondays have come and gone with the same promise?How many times have you put everyone else's needs before your own?How many times have you started something but never finished it?How many times have you told yourself, "I'll do it when life settles down"?How many times have you blamed your age?How many times have you blamed your past?How many times have you blamed your circumstances?How many times have you said, "I don't have enough time"?How many times have you convinced yourself you're too busy?How many times have you looked in the mirror and criticised yourself?How many times have you stayed in your comfort zone because it felt safer?How many times have you let fear make your decisions?How many times have you waited for someone else's approval?How many times have you talked yourself out of an opportunity?How many times have you settled for "good enough"?How many times have you said, "That's just the way I am"?How many times have you ignored what your body has been trying to tell you?How many times have you known exactly what to do but still not done it?How many times have you let one setback define your future?What if the only thing standing between where you are now and where you want to be... is the story you've been repeating?If you're tired of carrying the same emotional, mental and physical patterns into another season of your life, it's time for a Spring Clean.Three mornings. Real conversations. Practical tools. No BS. No excuses. Just the opportunity to finally clear what's been keeping you stuck.I have more about this in my new book 'A Crohn's Solution' which you can purchase here https://tinyurl.com/acrohnssolutionIf you want to access more of this... come to 'Spring Clean Your Mind and Body' in September.Click here for all the deets https://tinyurl.com/no-BS-retreatWendy x x

    #150 - How Your Reactions Are Hurting Your Body

    Someone says something and it hits you the wrong way and even though you might not say anything in the moment, you take it with you.You find yourself replaying it, thinking about what they meant, how it felt, what you could have said and before you know it, it’s not just a moment anymore — it’s something you’re carrying around for days.Your mood shifts, your energy drops and you’re just not quite yourself, all because of one interaction that’s now living in your mind and body.Meanwhile, they’ve probably moved on and haven’t given it another thought. And that’s where the shift is.It’s not really about what was said, it’s about what you chose to do with it afterwards.Because even if it hurt, even if it felt unfair, you still have a choice in whether you hold onto it or let it stop there.And when you actually start taking responsibility for that — for not carrying it, not feeding it, not letting it take over your days — you’ll notice something changes.Your mind feels clearer, your body feels lighter, and there’s a sense of ease that wasn’t there before.If this made you think about how much you hold onto things, I’ve put together a really simple Stress Language Guide.It shows you how to shift what you say so you stop feeding it.Click on the link belowhttps://linktr.ee/wendygathercoleWendy x x

    #149 - Fire ants and Wellbeing

    What have fire ants got to do with your wellbeing?More than you may think...In this episode I share a simple story about fire ants that opens up a much bigger conversation about awareness and self responsibility.Sometimes when we are not aware of a situation in can put us on our arse.Being aware of what is around us and the choices we make, stop us reacting and start responding. This is where true change happens.I have been stung by these little buggers more times I'd like to remember. They may be small but gee they pack a punch. Through my awareness of them in my garden I chose not to venture out there. Win win for my wellbeing but not for the garden.Through the eradication party we gave them, I decided to venture out and give it a test drive. Again my choice. This time it went to plan. No more fire ants, no more unsettling stings and no more weeds in the garden.....big win win.I took responsibility for all the choices i made.Thereby not playing the blame game and choosing what I wanted increased the state of my wellbeing ten fold. What are you choosing that if you made a different choice could give you a different outcome to enhance you wellbeing?There's more about this in my new book 'A Crohns Solution' coming soon.Want to know more?

    #148 - The Thing I Was To Afraid To Do

    Fear can quietly run our lives if we let it.In this episode, I share a personal story from my sport where I faced something I had been afraid to do. I trusted the operator and did it and yes, I did it well. But that’s not the real lesson.The real lesson isn’t about how well you perform after you do something.It’s about having the courage to face the fear in the first place.I also share how this episode actually started with the topic of choice, after I tried to do a Facebook Live about it. Fear crept in and stopped me for longer than I expected. This episode is a reminder not to let fear take control of the events in your life.Don’t let it stop you from doing the things you want to do or creating the life you want.Because on the other side of fear is choice.There's more about this in my new book 'A Crohns Solution' coming soon.Want to know more?

    #137 - Your Words Create Your Reality

    Dear FriendsLet’s get real—Your words create your reality and there is so much scientific evidence and personal based evidence that you cannot deny it any longer.Your words aren’t just sounds — they’re signals to your body. In this episode, I dive into how everyday language shapes your stress levels, your energy and even your health.From the simple phrase “I can’t” to the tone behind your self-talk, you’ll discover how powerful it is to shift your words and watch your reality change.I also share how a simple “Warning” sign could become a “Friendly Reminder,” and what I noticed in a local school that shows how early we learn to limit ourselves.It’s time to speak differently — because your body is always listening.Change your words. Change your body. Change your life — no drama, just awareness. True change comes when we can open our mind to the possibility that anything is possible. Start small and practice, practice, practice. Old habits die hard!If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think!Let's embark on a courageous journey together in 2025!Want to know more?

I'm sure you know what I mean.I know first hand how debilitating stress can be in our lives BUT here's the thing, we can change how we view stress. I'm talking long term stress that hangs around and ensures we function as highly strung, irritable and, let's face it, quite irrationally.In this episode, I challenge the stress mindset and induce the feeling of calm and ease in a situation many find 'highly stressful', by implementing the 'just a process' mindset.True change comes when we can open our mind to the possibility that anything is possible. Start small and practice, practice, practice. Old habits die hard!If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think.Let's embark on a courageous journey together in 2025!Want to know more?

    #135 - Sustainable Dieting

    Dear FriendsLet’s get real—“dieting” usually means restriction, weight loss, and guilt. And it rarely lasts.In this episode, I challenge the diet mindset and ask: Is what you’re doing actually sustainable? Are you doing it for you, or to fit into what society says you should be?True sustainability comes from eating wholefoods, listening to your body, and doing it your way—not following someone else’s rules.This isn’t about losing. It’s about choosing. No fads. No guilt. Just real food, real goals, and real you.If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think.Let's embark on a courageous journey together in 2025!

    #127 - The Side Of Energy Drinks No one Talks About

    Dear FriendsThis week I’m talking about a 23-year-old man who had a serious blood pressure spike after just one energy drink. Yep—just one. It’s a clear reminder that what we put into our body does matter. These drinks are sold like they’re harmless, just a little pick-me-up to get you through the day—but the truth is, they can hit your nervous system hard.We often don’t think twice about what we’re drinking, but the body feels it—even if we don’t notice straight away. High caffeine, sugar, additives—our systems were never meant to run on that kind of fuel. I want to bring this story to light, not to scare you, but to get you thinking. Your body is always speaking... sometimes it’s yelling. Let's stop ignoring it.If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think.Let's embark on a courageous journey together in 2025!Want to know more?

    #126 - Listen Before You Logic

    Dear FriendsWe’ve all had those little moments—where something inside us quietly says, yes, or no, or do this... and before we know it, our mind jumps in with fear, doubt, or overthinking. That little voice—your intuition—is trying to guide you, but it doesn’t yell. It’s a soft whisper, a passing thought, an idea in the shower when you're not even trying. And too often, we ignore it.Learning to trust yourself again means starting to hear that voice and letting it matter. Not brushing it aside or waiting until you’ve overthought it into nothing. Your intuition wants to help you feel better, live lighter, and stop second-guessing every decision. It might feel strange at first, but just try it—listen in, catch the feeling, and follow through. You’ll be surprised how spot-on it really is.Try the simple practice of walking through the supermarket or listening to the alternative route home (and i don't mean the navigational system) just to gain back the trust in you.If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think.Let's embark on a courageous journey together in 2025!

    #125 - Trust Yourself First

    Dear FriendsThat moment of second-guessing yourself, of overriding your own gut feeling because of someone else’s opinion (reviews)that’s where it starts. And when you keep doing that, it chips away at your self-trust. Over time, that constant second-guessing creates a low-level stress you carry without even realising. It becomes your normal. And anything that puts you in a state of fear, doubt, or disconnect from yourself over and over—that’s chronic.So I’m not just talking about reviews here. I’m talking about how easy it is to let outside voices drown out your own. I’m asking you to start coming back to you. To notice when you hand your power away. To pause and ask, “What do I feel about this?”I know it takes time. Especially if you’ve been ignoring that inner voice for years. But it’s still there. And next week, I’ll talk more about how you can rebuild that trust in yourself—step by step. Until then, just notice. You don’t have to change anything yet. Just become aware of the moments where you’ve been giving your power away. That’s where the shift begins.If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think.Let's embark on a courageous journey together in 2025!Want to know more?

    #124 - Nature and Our Bodies

    Dear FriendsThis weeks' podcast episode was born out of a day spent in the garden.I have often spoken about nature and how it provides us with all that we require to live a life with ease. When I was in the garden pulling out weeds, it dawned on me that unless you can get to the root cause of your symptoms then not much will change.In my book 'Wholefoods The Facts' I write about the correlation with plants and disease from my study of horticulture and aromatherapy. Also, it is poignant to point out that nature also refers to within us..human nature. The nature of humans is not to be diseased and suffering, our nature is to be full of life and happy. In this episode, I share:Finding the root cause of your symptoms is of prime importance to healing.How nature can assist with your healing process.What happened when I was feeling anxious one day and how nature eased my pain.If you're navigating your own healing journey—or just love hearing how others move through tough moments with grace—this episode is for you.I hope it reminds you that you're more capable than you think.If you want more click on the link belowhttps://linktr.ee/wendygathercoleWendy x x
