Episode 25 - Behind the Book: My Launch + Shaun Proulx Interview

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2386480/fan_mail/new] Episode 25 – A Launch, A Horn, and A Heart-to-Heart In this episode, Wendy takes listeners behind the scenes of her unforgettable Finding Wendy book launch—a day filled with joy, laughter, and deep gratitude. From reading heartfelt passages of her memoir to answering audience questions, the event captured the spirit of her journey in a truly personal way. And for a special surprise, Wendy dusted off her French horn and performed live, reminding everyone of the music that has been both her refuge and her voice throughout her life. But the celebration didn’t stop there. Wendy also shares highlights from her recent feature on The Shaun Proulx Show, where she had the opportunity to speak candidly about the story behind her memoir, the challenges she’s overcome, and the lessons she’s learned about resilience, hope, and self-discovery. The interview gives listeners a more intimate look at what inspired her to write her book, how her past shaped her present, and why telling her story matters—not just for herself, but for others walking similar paths. Think of this episode as opening the curtain on a new chapter: part celebration, part reflection, and part honest conversation about growth, courage, and the power of sharing our truths. Wendy also reminds listeners that her memoir Finding Wendy is now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle editions—an invitation to dive even deeper into the journey she’s been courageously sharing with the world.

Episode 22: Ozempic, Ontario, and a Hormone That Changed Everything

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2386480/fan_mail/new] Episode 22: Ozempic, Ontario, and a Hormone That Changed Everything Air Date: June 8, 2025 In this week’s episode of Finding Wendy—also known as Wellness & Willpower—I share a personal update on my four-week Ozempic journey (7 pounds down, no side effects!), and reflect on what’s working, what’s changing, and what I’m learning. I also dive into why I started this podcast in the first place—with a powerful quote from Steve Jobs that reminds us growth is slow, but worth it. Then, I introduce a brand-new segment: Weekly GLP-1 & Ozempic News. This week, we cover Ontario’s current coverage rules, how Canadian prices compare globally, and celebrate Toronto’s own Dr. Daniel Drucker—the scientist whose discovery of GLP-1 is changing lives around the world. This is an episode filled with facts, heart, and hope.  Let’s take our health into our own hands—together. 💪 👉 For more information, visit my podcast website at:  https://www.podpage.com/finding-wendy-my-journey-to-wellness/ [https://www.podpage.com/finding-wendy-my-journey-to-wellness/] ☕️ Support the Podcast — Buy Me a Coffee!
