A Conversation with Wendy Faith on Surrender, Truth, and Soul Recognition
What happens when everything you’ve built no longer feels like you?
In this deeply honest episode, creative business coach, author, and late-in-life lesbian Wendy Faith opens up about what it means to walk away from a life that looks successful on the outside but feels misaligned within. After years as a prolific writer, entrepreneur, and public figure, Wendy faced a series of personal and professional betrayals that brought her to her knees — and ultimately became the catalyst for a total reinvention.
Together, we talk about the messiness of starting over, the cost of people-pleasing, and the healing power of nervous system safety, creativity, and truth. Through it all, Wendy’s story is one of fierce authenticity, quiet courage, and hope that rises even from the rubble.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to begin again — this conversation will remind you it’s never too late to choose yourself.
Wendy Faith is a creative business coach, artist, author, and late-in-life lesbian who has built and sold two companies, published over 30 books, and even served as a city councilwoman. After walking through personal and professional betrayals, burnout, and burnout, Wendy shed the version of herself that no longer fit — unmasking, “unfreezing,” and rediscovering her true, soul-aligned identity. Today, she helps LGBTQ+ and women entrepreneurs build businesses rooted in nervous system safety, radical authenticity, and deep alignment — not people-pleasing.
