The Mindful FIRE Podcast 52 : Turning Adversity Into Opportunity with Wendy Thomas
Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here.
On today's episode, I'm joined by my new friend, Wendy Thomas. Wendy Thomas is the founder of Wendy Thomas Coaching, which helps individuals and teams excel in work and life by learning to harness the power of mindset.
An early stage breast cancer diagnosis gave Wendy the courage and perspective to follow her longtime entrepreneurial dream of establishing her own coaching company. Her authentic and vulnerable coaching style inspires individuals to discover their own potential and to achieve greater depths of personal and professional fulfillment.
Prior to launching Wendy Thomas Coaching, Wendy spent 18 years in financial services working at Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters and FactSet. Most recently, Wendy led FactSet Canada in developing effective strategies for growth, talent, acquisition, team building, and operational effectiveness.
Wendy is a passionate mom of two young boys and cares deeply about helping people create a healthy work-life balance.
In this conversation. Wendy shares her story of climbing the corporate ladder only to have her life turned completely upside down by a cancer diagnosis just two days before her 40th birthday.
Wendy shares how getting this cancer diagnosis changed everything in her life overnight and forced her to make some big changes and to really take to heart the advice that her late father gave her, which was to turn adversity into opportunity.
She shares more about what this means and the changes she made to move from what you call is living from the outside in to living from the inside out.
And we dive into this idea of how do we live from the inside out rather than the outside in to live true to ourselves and with intention each and every day,
I really enjoyed this conversation with Wendy and it really made me think about my own life and how I need to stop and really think about what's most important to me and how I want to move forward and live intentionally with each and every day.
