Heart and Hustle:
Visionaries, Healers, Movers, Shakers,
with your host Paulette Rees-Denis,
with guest, Wendy Cole
Transition Mentor,
Episode #207
I am delighted to bring this provocative interview to you today…
Meet Wendy Cole, a woman who is here to help others make a transition, no matter what age. She decided to make hers, from man to woman, at age 67. That is profound and how wonderful that she finally was able to make the change that she’d been wanting all her life.
Enjoy our interview
Also listen in on Spotify
From an early age, Wendy knew in her heart that she was a girl, but she struggled to conform to the expectations of her family and society. It wasn’t until the age of 67 that Wendy finally found the courage to embrace her true self and undergo her life-changing transition. In doing so, she embarked on a personal journey of self-acceptance, shedding the fears, doubts, and anxieties that had held her back for so long. Within just six months, Wendy was able to start living as her authentic self.
Today, Wendy draws on her own experiences and studies to mentor and coach others through their own major life transitions. Using techniques such as visioning, mindfulness, and shifting beliefs and energy, she guides her clients in making profound changes to their lives and health, and finding happiness in being true to themselves.
Wendy’s passion for coaching stems from a place of deep empathy. She understands the challenges her clients face, having overcome similar obstacles in her own life. She knows that having someone who has walked the same path can make all the difference in navigating significant life changes. Wendy’s focus is always on her clients’ futures, helping them realize that while change may seem intimidating at first, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. She encourages her clients to embrace the journey, have fun, and revel in the joy of living a life that resonates with their true selves.

Who’s ready for a change?
I’ve always been a strong proponent for making change… taking a new path, trying something different, stepping outside of the box (that only we create anyway), but moving forward with intention and focus and commitment and curiosity!
Well, how does one make a change?
Action Creates Change
Intentional action steps further into your personal dreams and desires. Because seasons shift, technology advances, and societies evolve, always, sometimes not the way we want, but they do.
While change can occur passively through external forces, the most profound and lasting transformations often stem from that deliberate action I’m talking about. “Action Creates Change” is not merely a statement but a fundamental principle that governs personal growth, societal progress, and also global evolution. Intentional movement is the catalyst for transformation at all levels, personal to global!
Individual Transformation
On a personal level, as a lifestyle coach, my focus is helping guide you to take that intentional and strategic action because it is the driving force behind self-improvement, growth, and expansion.
Thoughts become words, become things. Wishing for change is dreaming; taking steps toward it is active and creates those changes. Whether you want to learn a new skill, adopt a healthier lifestyle, or break a bad habit, each action taken propels you closer to your desired outcome.
Attention, Intention, Action!
Baby steps, baby! Small, consistent actions add up over time, and can lead to significant personal transformation. Know what I mean? Perhaps you want to tone up your body, so consistently dedicating 30 minutes to exercise each day will lead to that healthier you, and you can see the change.
I just did this for one month with a trainer, waking up and going to the gym every morning at 6 am to do a 30 minute workout and I loved the tiny transformations in my body, and also in my mind and spirit, because I had committed to it, because I wanted to make a change, and I hired someone to hold me accountable and give me steps to make the change.
Another work idea: Prioritizing your workload, naming 1-3 things daily, will help you get things done more efficiently and will make a happier you! (Have you seen my masterclass on making your MAP, Magic Action Plan? Check it out here: https://vimeo.com/492293124/82c0963690)
When you show up and participate in your own desires and well being, you will also create the Ripple Effect, and I love that! People get inspired by seeing others doing and living their dreams.
Every action, no matter how small, creates a ripple effect. An act of kindness can brighten someone’s day, inspiring them to pay it forward. Someone having an art show can inspire others to keep on creating. A dance performance can get someone motivated to start dancing again. A local community initiative can serve as a model for other communities facing similar challenges. These ripple effects demonstrate how action extends beyond its immediate impact, influencing and inspiring change in ways that may not be immediately apparent.
Overcoming Obstacles to Action
While the importance of action is clear, taking it can be challenging.
What are you afraid of? Fear of failure, uncertainty about the outcome, and lack of resources can all hinder action. However, overcoming these obstacles is crucial for making the changes you wish to see in the world, and in your own life! Breaking down large goals into smaller, manageable steps can make action less daunting. Asking for help, like I did in hiring a trainer, and seeking support from others can provide motivation and resources..
“Action Creates Change” is a powerful principle that underscores the importance of intentional effort in bringing about transformation.
Simply stated. Change requires action – the conscious decision to move from intention to reality.
By recognizing the power of our intentional actions and overcoming the fears that can often stop us, we can become participants of those changes in our lives and in the world around us.
Each baby step we take contributes to the ongoing process of our evolution and expansion, in ourselves, our community, and even globally. Ultimately, the future is shaped not by passive dreaming, but by active participation and the unwavering commitment to create the change we wish to see.
So love, what changes do you want to see, to take, to have? And can you commit to yourself so that you can feel freaking great about your continuing journey?
And as always, I am here for you, as your cheerleader and coach, to help you envision, clarity, and manifest your desires. If you want that strategy session with me, a free call to help you decide on your next steps, just click here to set up a time for a phone call with me. I call this your Finding Your New Voice, session and I’d love to help you create your next steps for change.
Thanks for being here,
