In today's episode, I am thrilled to bring you an inspiring conversation with Wendy Baker.

Wendy is an award-winning author and entrepreneur whose story is both deeply moving and empowering. We delve into her book "My Name Was Mushroom," which was Wendy's name during her time in a commune.

We explore the profound journey she embarked on from a challenging childhood environment to joining the commune at the age of 14. Her experiences, including having a baby at 16 and surviving dramatic health issues, paint a vivid picture of resilience and transformation.

Wendy's unique upbringing in The Source Family and her daughter's shared gift as a medium add layers of spiritual depth to her narrative.

As we converse, Wendy shares her writing process, aiming to engage readers with a fast-paced and exciting story. I admire her concise storytelling, making her autobiography a compelling read. A touching part of our discussion involves forgiveness and emotional growth—elements central to Wendy's journey. Additionally, Wendy reveals her excitement about her self-published book becoming a bestseller and its forthcoming movie adaptation.

Wendy's breathtaking story, paired with her husband's unwavering support, serves as a beacon of inspiration for anyone overcoming trauma and stepping out of their comfort zone.
