What Happens When You Follow the Pull Instead of the Pressure with Wendy Meadows

Wendy Meadows had one of those split-screen moments—where her two lives couldn't have been more different. At 6 a.m., she was pouring belief into women as a health coach. By 10 a.m., she was cross-examining a woman on the witness stand, picking apart her credit card purchases. It was soul-splitting—and it was the spark that made Wendy say, “This isn’t who I’m meant to be.”

A high-achieving family law litigator, Wendy climbed the traditional ladder for years—but a growing wellness side hustle and deepening sense of misalignment nudged her toward something more. Over time (and with plenty of grit), she tuned in to her intuition, slowly turned down the volume on litigation, and built a new business on her own terms. Now a coach, consultant, speaker, and author of Sparkle and Grit, Wendy helps burned-out female professionals find balance, redefine success, and create lives that actually feel joyful.

As Wendy says: “I didn’t like crash and burn my old life—I followed the sparkles. I turned the volume down on what wasn’t working and turned it up on what made me feel alive.”

In this conversation, you’ll hear Wendy’s evolution from courtroom powerhouse to sparkly, soulful entrepreneur—and the real talk behind that journey. From workaholic culture and burnout to boundary-setting and self-reinvention, we go there (but without the trauma spiral).

Inside, you’ll hear:

• How Wendy made a major career pivot—without burning it all down
• The power of “sparkle moments” to guide your next step
• Why burnout isn’t a badge…and what actually helps
• Real talk on identity shifts, ego, and giving yourself permission
• The behind-the-scenes of writing her book (and the next one it inspired)

This episode is a masterclass in evolving with intention—and letting joy lead. Wendy’s story is proof that reinvention isn’t always a crash; sometimes it’s a quiet course correction. And even in your most raw and real seasons, you don’t have to lose your shine.
