say YES to yourself!

By: Wendy Harrop
  • Summary

  • Saying yes to yourself is not about being selfish, it's more about self-preservation, self-care, self-compassion. It’s a practice and it’s like any muscle that needs exercise - it’s awkward until it’s elegant. Each week on the say YES to yourself! podcast you’ll hear stories from women just like us who are adding this practice to their daily lives in big and small ways and as a result are experiencing the truth that everybody wins when you say YES to yourself!

  • Saying YES to Boundaries and Protecting Your Time and Energy with Rita Suzanne
    Sep 25 2024

Rita shares how she’s been saying yes to herself by saying no to commitments that don’t serve her business or well-being. She explains how she shifted her focus to more profitable, aligned opportunities and restructured her time—setting boundaries around her calendar, limiting calls, and even removing work emails from her phone. Wendy and Rita discuss the importance of course-correcting when something isn’t working, empowering others rather than being overly accessible, and the freedom that comes from letting go of the need to please everyone.

  • Saying YES to Bold Adventures and Unleashing New Boundaries at Any Age with Anna Hergert
    Sep 11 2024

    In this inspiring episode, Wendy sits down with adventurer Anna Hergert to explore the transformative power of saying yes to new experiences—whether it’s paddling a kayak in the ocean for the first time or conquering one of Nova Scotia’s most challenging hikes solo. At 67, Anna shares how she has found a renewed sense of purpose and connection in her life, proving that age is no barrier to adventure. From navigating the highest tides in the world in the Bay of Fundy to designing custom, one-of-a-kind tours, Anna reveals the importance of embracing both physical and mental fitness as part of her commitment to herself. She also opens up about the lessons learned from balancing spontaneity with self-care, and how taking a step back before saying yes has helped her avoid burnout. Wendy reflects on her own journey as a guide, sharing how these moments of adventure and self-renewal aren’t just about trying something new—they’re about bringing the full breadth of your life experience into each moment. Join Wendy and Anna for a conversation full of wisdom, daring adventures, and the powerful ripple effects that come from honoring your own journey.

    About Anna:
    Anna Herbert operates Tide Rollers and Mud Lurkers in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Her custom tour company has a focus on creating memorable experiences for most abilities while exploring the ocean floor in the Bay of Fundy with the highest recorded tides in the world. Before she moved to Nova Scotia nearly four years ago, she spent her time as a landscape photographer, creating textile art, exhibiting her work, and teaching photography, as well as art and design to fiber artists. It took the pandemic and one beach to reignite a passion for adventure and her deep appreciation for nature. Delighted with the discovery of more than one beach, Anna set out exploring on a daily basis. Soon she shared her nature discoveries with newcomers and visitors alike. Her commitment to ensuring a safe outcome with every event led to Outdoor Council of Canada Field Leader Instructor and Advance Wilderness First Aid certifications. “Safety first” is a motto she observes with her tour groups and for herself. Backpacking trips during the shoulder seasons are her guilty pleasure. When she is not hiking, guiding tours, sharing her knowledge about the highest tides in the world, or snowshoeing, Anna can be found at home playing with fabric or yarn, or cuddling her four Shitzus.

Falling head over heels in love with this podcast.

I just discovered “Love Letters, Life, and Other Conversations” and am infatuated!
Jane and Wendy had me at hello! The music, reading of love letters, and elevated conversations draw you in and, as if by magic, you suddenly feel inspired to compose a love letter.
