Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and those navigating major life transitions like divorce, reinvention, and rediscovery. If you're ready to shed old roles and finally put yourself first, you're in the right place.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with licensed therapist and author Lynda Cash to explore how to reintroduce yourself in your relationships—whether you’re newly divorced, entering an empty nest season, or simply seeking deeper connection.

They explore:

• The “Three Relational Deal Breakers” that impact every relationship: emotional needs, wants, and like
• How to reintroduce yourself in midlife—especially after divorce, widowhood, or identity shifts
• Why toleration leads to resentment and sabotage—and how to break the cycle by reclaiming your desires

Whether you’re reconnecting with a long-time partner or stepping into something new, this episode is a powerful reminder that your next chapter gets to feel good, aligned, and entirely yours.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Laura Ahern, an energy linguist, author, and spiritual guide who helps women discover their unique calling and embrace authentic living. Laura shares her profound journey from devastating loss to purposeful transformation, revealing how grief opened her spiritual gifts and led her to help others break free from suffering.

They explore:

• How to set boundaries from love and protect your energy
• Why feeling like you have "no bandwidth" signals misalignment with your true purpose
• The courage required to step into your calling—even when fear speaks loudest

Whether you're feeling stuck in survival mode, craving deeper meaning, or ready to trust that still small voice within—this conversation will remind you that your most powerful chapter can emerge from your deepest challenges.

About Laura:

Laura Ahern is a Medium, Intuitive, and Source Channeler, and her mission is to help people reconnect with their true energy and unlock their highest potential. Her spiritual journey was catalyzed by the loss of her husband to a terminal brain tumor, which taught her the profound power of setting boundaries—not just for survival, but for thriving. Saying "yes" to what truly mattered, while honoring her own energy, became a transformative practice that allowed her to stay grounded and find deep meaning during their time together.

Through her work as The Energy Linguist, she help individuals decode the subtle energy patterns in their lives and understand how energy imbalances can manifest as physical and emotional stress. She teaches clients how to honor their boundaries, trust their intuition, and align with their purpose—transforming their life experiences into opportunities for healing and growth.

In her book, The True Calling, she guides others to face their personal challenges and pain, free themselves from limiting patterns, and step into a life of alignment, joy, and limitless potential.
