    Choosing Joy and Reclaiming Your Health with Dr. Mamta Bhatt | #7

    In this episode of Follow the Pull, Wendy Kim talks with Dr. Mamta Bhatt about the hidden cost of achievement, chronic illness, self-abandonment, and learning to listen to the body before its whispers become screams. Dr. Bhatt shares how a lifetime of high achievement eventually took a serious toll on her health. She describes pushing through exhaustion, sacrificing sleep and recovery, and believing that rest meant laziness until her body finally reached a point where she could no longer continue working. Her search for healing eventually led her to a monastery, where silence, meditation, breathwork, and spiritual practices helped her begin separating her identity from constant productivity. Although her physical health did not immediately improve, she began to experience a major internal shift. One of the most important moments came while watching a sunrise. Dr. Bhatt realized that even while physically unwell, she could still experience joy. That moment changed what she focused on and eventually led her to study her own blood work, look for patterns, and create a personalized protocol for herself. Wendy and Dr. Bhatt also discuss the importance of self-trust, self-love, and listening to inner guidance. Dr. Bhatt encourages listeners to stop waiting until their body is screaming for attention and instead notice the smaller signals that something needs to change. In this episode: ● The hidden cost of high achievement ● Why rest can feel uncomfortable for high performers ● How self-abandonment can affect health ● Dr. Bhatt’s journey through chronic illness ● What she learned from living in a monastery ● How meditation helped change her relationship with herself ● The moment she realized she could choose joy ● Why listening to your body matters ● The importance of self-trust and self-love ● Why small internal signals should not be ignored The conversation is a reminder that achievement does not have to come at the cost of your health. Dr. Bhatt’s message is to care for yourself before the whispers become screams and to remember that joy, rest, and well-being are part of a meaningful life too.

    Trusting Your Gut With Lauren Callahan | #6

    What if following your gut is not just emotional, but physical too? In this episode of Follow The Pull, Wendy Kim sits down with Lauren Callahan, an integrative wellness consultant, speaker, former therapist, internal family systems practitioner, and ultra endurance athlete. Lauren shares how learning to trust her intuition changed her life. After years of feeling disconnected from her inner voice, she made a drastic move from Louisiana to Bangladesh with her two young children. What began as a search for purpose became a painful breakdown across her faith, relationships, identity, and family life. But that breakdown eventually became the beginning of rebuilding herself with more freedom, peace, and self-trust. Wendy and Lauren also talk about gut health, nutrition, and plant-based eating. After struggling with inflammation, recovery, mood, and marathon training, Lauren discovered that improving her gut health changed her energy, sleep, immunity, athletic performance, and overall well-being. Later, she followed another pull toward a more plant-based diet and found that it gave her more capacity instead of restriction. In this episode: ● Why Lauren struggled to trust her intuition ● How breakdowns can become the beginning of rebuilding ● Why she chose peace during a painful divorce ● How gut health impacted her mood, energy, and performance ● Why fiber matters for overall health ● How plant-based eating helped her feel like herself again If you have ever felt disconnected from your body, your intuition, or your own inner voice, this episode is a reminder that healing can begin with one honest step toward what feels true.

    Confidence Through Visibility With Sheena Yap Chan | #4

    What if confidence is not something you wait to feel, but something you build by putting yourself out there before you feel ready? In this episode of Follow The Pull, Wendy Kim sits down with Sheena Yap Chan, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestselling author, TEDx and keynote speaker, and founder of the Confidence Through Visibility movement. Sheena shares how growing up in Asian culture taught her to follow expectations, stay quiet, avoid mistakes, and second-guess her own judgment. Instead of being encouraged to trust her intuition, she learned to seek approval and wait until she felt perfectly ready. But over time, Sheena realized that waiting for perfect confidence was delaying her life. After the passing of her aunt, she began to see how short life really is and decided she did not want to live with regret. That realization pushed her to follow the pull, leave behind the traditional path, move to Hawaii, build her platform, write books, speak on stages, and create more visibility for Asian women. Wendy and Sheena talk about rejection, perfectionism, representation, self-trust, human readiness, and why the people getting opportunities are not always more qualified. Sometimes, they are simply more willing to put themselves out there. This conversation is a reminder that you do not have to feel fully ready to begin. You can say yes, learn as you go, and trust that you are capable of figuring it out. In this episode: ● Why Sheena was not taught to trust her intuition ● How cultural expectations can create perfectionism ● Why visibility builds confidence ● What happens when you wait until you feel ready ● Why rejection should be normalized ● How representation helps others believe what is possible ● Why human readiness matters in an AI-driven world ● What self-trust really means If you have ever talked yourself out of an opportunity because you felt unprepared, underqualified, or afraid of rejection, this episode will remind you that confidence grows when you take action.

    Healing Love And Following The Pull With Sonal Nakrani | #3

    What if the relationship you want is not impossible, but it requires you to stop surviving and start creating something new? In this episode of Follow The Pull, Wendy Kim sits down with Sonal Nakrani, a relationship and life coach who helps individuals and couples deepen connection, explore erotic energy, and build lasting partnership that feels alive, aligned, and authentic. Sonal shares how her intuition first developed as a survival mechanism. Growing up in an abusive home, she learned to read energy, sense danger, and pay attention to what was happening beneath the surface. But over time, following the pull became less about survival and more about healing, motherhood, relationship, and creating a life that felt free. Sonal opens up about becoming a mother, experiencing postpartum depression, and realizing she did not want to pass her survival patterns down to her son. That moment became a turning point. She knew there had to be another way. She also shares the honest story of her marriage, from feeling more like roommates than partners to creating a relationship filled with connection, intimacy, play, desire, and real partnership. Wendy and Sonal talk about what happens when couples stop settling for survival and begin taking responsibility for what they are co-creating together. This conversation is about intuition, motherhood, healing, relationship, and the courage to believe that love can be more than endurance. In this episode: ● How intuition can begin as a survival skill ● Why motherhood became a turning point for Sonal ● How postpartum depression changed her relationship with herself ● Why self-care helped her become more connected to her son ● What happens when a marriage becomes companionship without intimacy ● Why open marriage was not the final answer for her relationship ● How couples can clear resentment and rebuild connection ● Why relationships are a co-creation If you have ever felt disconnected in your relationship, stuck in survival mode, or unsure whether the love you want is possible, this episode is a reminder that healing, connection, and desire can be rebuilt when you are willing to follow the pull.

    Stop Following the “Shoulds” and Start Trusting Your Gut | #2

    In this episode of Follow the Pull, Wendy Kim explains how listening to your intuition can lead you toward a life that feels more meaningful and aligned. Wendy shares how she followed the path her culture laid out for her: work hard, attend a good college, build a successful corporate career, and achieve financial security. Even after accomplishing those things, something inside her kept telling her that the life she had built no longer felt right. A major turning point came when her son’s mental health needs conflicted with the rigid expectations of corporate life. After a coworker questioned why Wendy received flexibility to take him to appointments, she realized she could no longer ignore the pull to create a business that allowed her to be the mother and leader she wanted to become. Wendy also shares what happened when she ignored her intuition in a business relationship. Although she sensed that working with the person was not a good idea, she moved forward because she wanted to help. The experience taught her that wanting to support someone does not mean abandoning her own discernment. She also explains how following a quiet nudge led her to create Slay and Play, a women’s circle centered on leadership, growth, community, and fun. Wendy did not have every detail planned, but the group grew into lasting relationships, partnerships, and professional opportunities that she could not have predicted. In this episode: ● How to identify the “shoulds” controlling your decisions ● Why success can still feel wrong when your life is out of alignment ● How to ask your intuition for the next right step ● Why small decisions help build self-trust ● What ignoring your gut can cost you ● Why helping someone should not require abandoning discernment ● How action can create opportunities that planning alone cannot predict This episode is a reminder that following the pull is not about acting recklessly or knowing the entire path. It is about quieting outside pressure, trusting your inner wisdom, and taking the next right step toward a life that feels genuinely aligned.

    How To Follow The Pull | #1

    What if the answer you keep searching for is not something you need to force, but something already quietly pulling at you? In this episode, Wendy Kim introduces the heart of her philosophy, Follow The Pull. She explores what it means to recognize the internal nudges that point us toward alignment, purpose, and a life that feels genuinely our own. Wendy shares how many people are taught to make decisions by thinking harder, analyzing every option, asking for advice, and waiting for certainty. But some of the most meaningful decisions in life do not begin with logic. They begin with something quieter: a feeling, a curiosity, a restlessness, or a subtle sense that something is asking to be recognized. Through personal stories and real examples, Wendy explains how easy it is to talk ourselves out of what we know in our gut. She reflects on following the path she was “supposed” to follow, overriding her own pull, and eventually realizing that her deeper dream was to use her voice to make a difference. Wendy also shows how following the pull is not just about major life decisions. It can happen in everyday moments, in parenting, relationships, work, business, and moments of emotional tension. By checking in with intuition, asking better questions, and taking the next honest step, people can begin rebuilding self-trust and making choices that feel more aligned. In this episode: ● What it means to Follow The Pull ● How intuition often shows up as a quiet internal nudge ● Why overthinking can pull you away from what you already know ● How fear and logic can talk you out of what your gut is telling you ● Why many people follow the path they were “supposed” to follow ● How Wendy realized her real dream was to use her voice to make a difference ● Why following the pull does not mean having the whole plan figured out ● How intuition can help in everyday moments, not just major life decisions ● Why checking in with yourself can create more connection and clarity ● How ignoring your gut can lead you to build a life or business you do not really want ● Why self-trust gets stronger every time you practice listening inward ● How to begin with the next right step instead of waiting for certainty If you have ever felt a quiet nudge toward something new, talked yourself out of what you really wanted, or found yourself overthinking a decision your gut already understood, this episode will help you slow down, listen inward, and consider what might happen if you chose to Follow The Pull.
