Lifelong Anxiety to Inner Peace: Wendy Taylor's Soul Powered Revolution

In this powerful episode of Soul Powered Revolution, Coach Mo Faul interviews Wendy Taylor, an accomplished education executive who shares her journey from diagnosed PTSD and workplace trauma to renewed leadership and inner peace.

After 14 years in Juvenile Justice Corrections, Wendy took on a new role in Adult Corrections that quickly became devastating. Despite her passion for equitable education, she found herself working at 4AM, collapsing on her bed when she came home, and disconnecting from her family and herself. When her mother finally insisted, "You've got to leave, no matter what," Wendy made the brave decision to quit without another job lined up, calling it her "Reinventing Wendy sabbatical."

What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Wendy's candid sharing about her lifelong struggle with anxiety, which she'd lived with since age five, and how Soul Powered coaching helped her eliminate it completely. She details the specific practices that transformed not just her career prospects but her entire relationship with herself, her family, and her team. Now in a role she loves, Wendy describes how she leads differently—present, empowering, providing feedback with grace, and maintaining frame control even in challenging situations.

This episode offers profound insights for professional women experiencing burnout, workplace trauma, or career transition. It's a testament to what becomes possible when you prioritize your soul power and invest in yourself, even when everything around you seems to be falling apart.
