Hey Reader,

A woman emailed me last week saying she was interested in Wayfinding but that she was "not really a group person." She'd rather figure things out on her own timeline, maybe read some books, and work on herself privately.

I get the resistance to joining a group, being vulnerable with strangers. I’m an introvert and I do understand. But here's what I've learned: personal transformation is hard. Doing it alone makes it exponentially harder.

Why community accelerates everything:

• You discover you're not the only one feeling stuck between who you were and who you're becoming
• Being witnessed in your growth helps your nervous system believe this new version of you is safe and real
• You get accountability that doesn't feel like pressure—just genuine support from women who want to see you succeed
• You watch ordinary women do extraordinary things, which makes your own transformation feel possible

But here's the thing: that first act of vulnerability—showing up and saying "I need help"—is actually practice for all the brave choices you'll need to make as you rebuild your life.

You know, the thing we avoid is usually exactly what we need.

Speaking of avoiding the thing we need…

Journaling is one of those things for me. Not that I really avoid it. It’s more a case of “the time just isn’t right” when I think of it. I’m either on the way to or coming from something, I have to take care of this little thing first, or I just don’t feel like it. Bottom line, however…

Make Journaling Your Non-Negotiable Practice

When you're working to transform your life alone, journaling becomes your most important tool for transformation. It's not just recording a list of what happened—it's creating a conversation with the part of you that already knows the way forward. Here's why it's essential. Your journal:

• Sorts through the mental noise to help you distinguish your authentic voice from inherited expectations and conditioning

• Catches patterns and excuses you've been blind to—seeing your behavior on paper creates the awareness needed for change

• Becomes your personal witness when you don't have a group to reflect back what they're seeing in your journey

• Documents your progress so you can see how far you've come when everything feels uncertain or like you're going backward

• Builds self-trust by proving you have wisdom and insights when you take time to listen to yourself instead of seeking external validation

Set aside 10-15 minutes daily to write without editing or censoring. Ask yourself:

• "What am I avoiding today?”
• “What pattern showed up?”
• “What felt aligned?"

Your journal is both your guide and cheerleader when you're navigating change alone.

Don’t Want to Keep Going It Alone?

​Join me in Wayfinding: The last beta cohort begins June 12, and I'm already getting emotional. I know how special this group is going to be. If you're tired of trying to figure it out alone, this is your chance to be supported by women who truly get it. [Find more information here]​

P.S. Vulnerability isn't a wall—it's a door. Turning the door knob helps build the courage muscle you'll need for everything that comes next.

P.S.S. Here are a few comments from the Wayfinding Beta1 women:

Cynthia G, Washington​
“I knew I needed (desperately?) support, but now that I have it in spades with this group, I am so grateful and happy. Even in the midst - at the moment - of some painful pangs of anxiety.” –

-Susan M, Oregon​
“I was hesitant and a bit scared to begin with (because it was my first time zooming) and afraid I'd look foolish--and instead I received reassurance. At the end of the session, when Wendie remembered that I might not know how to find the messages left for me (another kindness!) -- well, that was awesome.”

-Brenda J, BC​
“Just wanting to take a moment to share something with you ... not out of obligation, but from a place of sincere gratitude. You are one of the most refreshing presences I've encountered in this world of teaching spaces and Zoom Brady Bunch boxes.”

​Wayfinding starts June 12, and earlybird pricing is good until June 5.
