In this episode Sydney & Melissa get real with Wendy Garrido (pronouns: she/her) a 2-time Gold Medalist in Pickleball, and an Amazon #1 Best Selling Author. She is the creator of the Authentic As Fuuuck Business Braveheart Awards. Wendy identifies as queer, polyamorous and somewhere between a connection queen and a connection whore. In her signature coaching program, Get Souled(tm)! (that's s-o-U-L-E-D) she inspires smart, emotionally intelligent, self-growth-oriented entrepreneurs to evolve their business in directions that feel like freedom. She's known for her brilliant-but-casual, compassionate, and open-hearted, no-BS style.
They dive right in and talk about how when we show up authentically people find value in that and how we can connect from that space. About how showing our vulnerability and humanness can be seen as a strength, not a weakness.
Wendy describes the sport Pickleball and talks about how she turned something she loves into a thriving business and how doing so is the best way to truly find joy in your work by following your passion and aliveness.
Wendy opens up about her childhood and how her mom taught her how to be authentic at a young age by reading self-help books to her and about how we are raised has a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves and our world later on in life. How parents can help their kids by allowing themselves to be flawed humans and showing vulnerability instead of acting like they have it all figured out when they don't. Letting kids know that it is OK to not have all of the answers.
Getting vulnerable, Wendy talks about being polyamorous and moving through her relationships in an honest and authentic way. Trying to gauge the grey areas of those connections while staying true to herself no matter how tough it gets. Looking at building strong and grounded relationships. Relationships that stand firm because they originate in a place of complete transparency and respect first.
Melissa talks about how Wendy helped her to become her authentic self in her business and how she gave her permission to show up as her beautiful quirky self and how she helps others to translate their offline sparkle into an online successful business. Feeling good about who they are in the process.
