Business, relationships, power, pleasure, truth. Same person. Same life.
And when you're navigating a breakup, you can't pretend that your personal life doesn't impact your business and vice versa. EVERY entrepreneur is CONSTANTLY navigating their business and their relationships every damn day and my work lives right at that intersection.
I'm Wendy Garrido. I help entrepreneurs like you figure out exactly how you got here, what it's trying to teach you, and what's actually next, in your business, your relationships, or both.
But you're doing both, every damn day, and acting like they don't impact each other is... well... let's just say naive? At best?
If your business is stressing you out, it's taking a toll on your relationships. If you're having tension with your partner, maybe you're using work as a welcome escape to avoid those feelings. If you've been telling yourself that fine is good enough — in your business, in your relationship, even in bed, let's get clear: it's time to stop settling for fine. Maybe you've heard?
Somewhere underneath the packed calendar, the loving-but-let's-be-honest-kinda-boring relationship and the business you've worked so hard to build, there's a version of you that is dying.
It's the part of you that used to laugh your ass off with your best friend in high school.
That actually had time to invest in being creative OUTSIDE your business.
The part of you that used to trust that you could leap and the net would appear... that you could figure anything out if you really wanted to.
Those are the parts of you that actually INSPIRED the business success that's now taken over your life.
And those parts are starving. They're bored. They're disappointed in you for settling for "fine".
And THEY are the reason you've found me today...
You woke up on Monday, looked in the mirror and said to yourself, "Really? We're doing this again?"
You spent another Sunday night staring at your phone while your partner stared at theirs instead of having the kind of hot sex you used to have all the time.
Even when things do get hot and heavy, it feels a little predictable, and your mind still has to fight its way back from work.
In fact, doing so will actually accelerate your progress because I promise you, either:
The challenges you're having in your personal life show up in your business as well. You're resentfully prioritizing your partner's schedule over your own... and you reluctantly agree to meet with a client during the time window you just promised yourself you would save to actually do something fun again.
What you're struggling with in one domain, you kick ass at in the other. Setting boundaries with a needy client? No problem. But you're afraid to tell your partner what you really want in bed because you're afraid they'll judge you.
Either way, if the emotional patterns showing up in your relationship are showing up in your business too, it's even more crucial to address them. Or if they're not showing up in one domain, then it helps us zero in on just what the difference is there compared to the other domain.
It's all connected.
I use my signature frameworks that I've refined over years of working with (and let's be real: sometimes sleeping with) people that everyone else would call difficult cases — to help you get past the stories and excuses you tell yourself to help you find and address the actual hangups that are keeping you from saying "Honey, let's put our phones down and go get naked together!" or finally admitting that the business you used to dream of is stressing your sensitive nervous system out way more than is healthy.
You're probably not sure what exactly needs to change in your life right now, or even where to begin. And I'm not sure what you need yet either since we haven't even met. But the minute we start talking, I'll help you hone in on what's off and what you want to do about it.
Easy fucking peasy...
Well, okay... easy for me to identify. Maybe not the easiest for you to admit, but I'm not here for the lightweights. I'm here for the person who'd win state champion if personal growth was a competition like body building. Maybe even world champion.
I'm not here to roast you. I'm not here to criticize you. I'm here to kindly, gently, in the most compassionate way possible, help you see where you're bullshitting yourself, how you're being an asshole to yourself (and possibly the people around you) and where you're squashing your own sense of aliveness every single day.
I will ask you questions that no one else has asked you, which will get to the heart of what you're really needing in your life faster than any business coach you've ever talked to.
I'm poly, queer, borderline autistic, definitely ADHD, and a devoted mother who flies back and forth between California and Florida every month to be with my kids. I have paid a very high price to live the life I'm living.
My mom called me a narcissist. My husband asked for a divorce. I walked away from a $160,000 a year business and lived off credit cards for a year and a half.
But I have never for a moment regretted any of it.
"The price of living your truth, even when it's steep, is lower than the price of pretending to be someone you're not."
People often say: "I've never told anyone this, but..." and then they give me a glimmer into the feelings, needs, desires and stories that are so tender they can hardly admit it, let alone figure out how to live it. That's just who I am. I hear and understand people better than 95% of the people in their life ever have.
