Season 12
Behind the Scenes of Healing
Healing is one of life’s greatest mysteries. It doesn’t follow a straight line or a predictable timeline. Instead, it unfolds in layers, in quiet moments, in the presence of those who simply show up. This season, we’re stepping into the unseen spaces of healing—the moments behind the scenes that hold immense power yet often go unnoticed.
My journey taught me that healing isn’t just about medical treatments or personal willpower. It’s about the love of a friend who walks beside you, the wisdom of a healer who sees beyond the surface, and the comfort of music or movement when words fall short. It’s about the resilience of caregivers, the dedication of clinicians, and the ripple effect of those who turn pain into purpose.
As we explore these stories together, I hope you’ll recognize healing in places you may not have seen before. Whether you are walking your path, supporting a loved one, or seeking deeper understanding, may these conversations remind you that you are not alone—and that healing is happening in ways both seen and unseen, every single day.

S12 EP3 What Caregivers Don’t Say: The Empathy vs. Empathic Journey
Caregiving is more than just providing support—it’s an emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal journey. Yet, so much of what caregivers experience goes unspoken. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Cindy Griffith, a psychic, spiritual teacher, and author of Soul Soothers: Mini Meditations for Busy Lives, to explore the unseen emotional and intuitive aspects of caregiving.
Cindy’s personal experiences and deep wisdom shine a light on the often-overlooked spiritual side of caregiving, helping us understand that healing isn’t just about the patient—it’s also about the caregiver’s journey. Learn more about Cindy
S12 EP4 What Patients Don’t Say—But Should: Data, Advocacy and Healing
What if speaking up could change the course of your healing?
When Julie Stevens was diagnosed with stage 4, aggressive, inoperable cancer, she realized that the traditional medical system wasn’t built for individualized healing. Instead of blindly following the standard treatment plan, she used data, self-advocacy, and alternative healing strategies to take control of her journey—and now, she’s helping others do the same. 💡
The truth? Patients often don’t say what they need to—because they don’t know they can. In this episode, we uncover the critical conversations that every patient should have with their doctors, caregivers, and themselves.
S12 EP5 My Body, My Choice, My Healing
This week on Sundays with Wendy, I sit down with massage therapist, Reiki master, life coach—and two-time cancer thriver—Janet McCarthy, who shares how she approached her second diagnosis entirely differently. We talk about listening to your intuition, rewriting the rules, and the power of saying no thank you to what doesn’t feel right.
💬 If you’ve ever felt like a passenger in your own healing, this one’s for you.
