    120: The American Dream From a First-Gen Central American Perspective

    This episode is a special repost from The American Dream: In the Eyes of Immigrants podcast, hosted by Heidy De La Cruz, where I was invited to share my story, my roots, and the work I do around healing, identity, and alignment. In this conversation with Heidy, I open up about growing up as a first-generation daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, how my upbringing shaped my worldview, and why inner work became the foundation of everything I teach today. I talked about: Growing up in the San Fernando Valley as a first-gen daughter of Guatemalan parentsHow my parents’ immigration story shaped my identity, values, and sense of prideExperiencing life between cultures and what it taught me about belongingVisiting Guatemala often, and how seeing real poverty changed my definition of wealthBeing raised with great pride in my Guatemalan and Mayan rootsDoing “everything right” on paper and still feeling unfulfilledMy journey through anxiety, depression, ADHD, and learning to slow downDiscovering transformational coaching and how it changed my lifeWhy our generation is often the first with the privilege to healHow I support Latinas through coaching, group programs, and communityWhy I don’t teach hustle, but instead focus on self-trust, inner wisdom, and being workMy honest perspective on the American Dream and why I believe we get to define our own version of wealthThis episode is an honest, expansive conversation about immigration, identity, healing, and choosing a life that honors where you come from and where you’re going. 🎙️ Originally aired on: The American Dream: In the Eyes of Immigrants podcast 🔗 Listen on: Spotify 🔗 Watch on: YouTube 🎧 Hosted by Heidy De La Cruz 💛 Reposted here with love and permission from the original show Connect with Wendy: Inspired Action Website Join Wendy's Email List Wendy’s Website Wendy’s Instagram Wendy's LinkedIn Wendy's TikTok E-mail Wendy

    119: Seven Tools You Can Use Today to Connect More Powerfully to Your Intuition

    Have you ever felt like your intuition is quiet or hard to reach even though you know it is always guiding you? Your intuitive brain never stops speaking to you. Sometimes life just gets loud enough that you forget how to listen. In this episode, I walk you through the seven tools I personally use to strengthen my intuition and deepen my connection to my intuitive brain. After learning how powerful the three brains are, today I focus on how you can tap into your gut brain in a way that supports your highest alignment.  If you have ever wished your intuition spoke louder, clearer, and more consistently, this episode gives you the exact tools to make that happen. I guide you deeper into the intuitive brain and why your gut brain is often the most accurate of your three brains. I share how the intuitive brain communicates, why the cognitive brain gets loud and confusing, and how your emotional brain supports clarity when you slow down enough to listen. On this episode, I share: Revisiting the Three Brains and why intuition lives in the bodySeven Tools to strengthen your intuitive brainTool 1. Embrace Silence and create space for intuitive clarityTool 2. Observe Your Body and notice the somatic cues that guide youTool 3. Ask Clear Questions that your intuition can respond toTool 4. Follow Life’s Hints and pay attention to synchronicitiesTool 5. Spend Time in Nature to regulate your nervous systemTool 6. Stop Asking Others and learn to ask yourself firstTool 7. Future Self Check In to align with your intuitive futureThe power of intuition for women of color and how intuitive knowing is ancestral, embodied, and culturally rootedIf these seven tools resonated with you, come listen and learn how to bring them into your life with clarity, trust, and intention. 📚 Research Mentioned • Women’s Experiences of Intuition (2021) This study explored how women experience intuition as inner knowing, embodied insight, and spiritual or energetic awareness. Many women described intuition as real and relevant, even when difficult to explain because traditional systems do not always validate this kind of knowing. Link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355866183_Women's_Experiences_of_Intuition • Cultural Intuition, D.D. Bernal A framework from Chicana and Latina feminist scholars that describes intuition for women of color as ancestral, communal, and embodied wisdom shaped by lived experience and intergenerational memory. Cultural intuition recognizes intuitive knowledge as a meaningful and legitimate way of knowing.

    118: The Three Brains You Need to Create the Life You Want

    In this episode, Wendy brings you back into the heart of transformational work as she shares one of the most powerful frameworks she uses in her coaching practice: the 3  brains. Most people only use one. But the real magic begins when you understand and align all three. You’ll hear Wendy talk about the cognitive brain that analyzes and plans, the heart brain that feels and opens, and the intuitive brain that guides you with ancient wisdom. She breaks down how each one works, why they all matter, and how learning to listen to all of them can shift the way you make decisions, create results, and live your life. Wendy also shares personal stories about her own evolution, what she has learned working with her coach, and why building a stronger relationship with her intuition brought her more freedom, clarity, and alignment than she ever expected. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with simple but powerful growth work you can start practicing today so you can build a deeper connection with your mind, your heart, and your intuition. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: Why we actually have 3 different “brains”How society conditioned us to rely mostly on the cognitive brainWhy the heart brain and gut brain hold untapped wisdomWhat intuition really feels like in the bodyThe reason your cognitive brain lies to you but your gut never doesHow to check in with all three brains before making decisionsWhat freedom feels like when you trust yourself fully✨ Growth Work for the Week:  The next time you make any decision, pause and ask all three brains: What does my cognitive brain think?What does my heart feel?What is my gut telling me?Start building a relationship with each part of you, one choice at a time.

    117: 3 Questions That Will Shift Everything for You: The 11:11 Portal and the Future Self Experience

    The 11:11 portal isn’t just a date. It’s an energy,  one that invites you to align, embody, and create your next chapter with intention. In this episode,  I dive deep into the connection between the energy of 11/11, the quantum field, and the power of embodiment. I also share three major breakthroughs that came out of our most recent FUTURE SELF EXPERIENCE, the transformative in-person workshop where women come together to reconnect with their bodies, release what’s been holding them back, and remember the version of themselves they’re becoming. This episode is a reminder that creating your dream life isn’t about vision boards or affirmations alone; it’s about feeling the energy of what you want in your body and allowing yourself to experience it now. I talked about:  • The energy of the 11:11 portal and how to work with it intentionally  • What the quantum field has to do with creating your dream life  • Three powerful breakthroughs from the FUTURE SELF EXPERIENCE  • Why embodiment is the missing piece in most manifestation practices  • The three reflection questions that shift everything ✨ Ask yourself: What is a goal I want to reach?What’s the feeling I want to feel behind that goal?How can I start to feel that right now?When you connect with your desires through feeling and alignment, you step into the frequency of your future self, and that’s when things begin to move. ✨ The next FUTURE SELF EXPERIENCE is coming soon. If this message speaks to you, consider this your sign to be in the room. Join me for a transformational day of embodiment, reflection, and reconnecting with the version of you who’s already living the life you’re dreaming of. 🔗 Visit for details on the next Future Self Experience: https://www.wendyamara.com/programs/futureselfexperience Connect with Wendy: Inspired Action Website Join Wendy's Email List Wendy’s Website Wendy’s Instagram Wendy's LinkedIn Wendy's TikTok E-mail Wendy
