What if the beliefs shaping your life were handed to you—and were never truly yours?
In this episode, Wendy sits down with executive coach and author Chanchal Garg to explore self-trust, self-compassion, and what Chanchal calls “the inheritance of daughterhood.” Chanchal shares how writing her memoir about spiritual and sexual abuse became part of reclaiming her story, changing the narrative for her children, and showing up more unapologetically in her life and work. Together, they examine what it means to honor the past without allowing it to define who you are becoming.
They explore:
- Why a growth mindset without self-compassion can leave us feeling stuck
- How to trust your growth instead of assuming you’ll repeat your past mistakes
- What it means to interrupt inherited patterns while allowing yourself and your children to have different experiences
If you’re questioning the stories you inherited or learning how to trust yourself after years of doubt, this conversation offers a compassionate reminder that your identity is not static, and you are allowed to keep growing into yourself.
