Get Compassionate, Experienced, High-Touch, Hands-On, Deep-Dive Support to Get That Thing That's Been on Your Heart & Mind (for a While Now) LAUNCHED and Ready to Sell!
Hey there, my dear...
If we haven't met yet:
Hi! I'm Wendy! 🤗
In a minute, I'll tell you more about me, but first, let's talk about YOU...
What IS it that's been on your mind and heart to create?
...and what's been STOPPING you from creating it already?
There's a Reason You Feel Called to Create This...
See, I believe that there's a reason that you've felt called to create this thing, and it's either because...
- It's going to help you in your personal growth and evolution
- It's going to help someone else (or multiple someone else's) in their personal growth/evolution
- Or (most likely) BOTH! It's going to be the next platform for your personal growth AND it's going to support other people in theirs as well.
Sometimes it's the actual thing that you create that is going to have that impact...
Sometimes it's just going to be the process of creating it that is powerful.
But you can't know the power and impact it will have until... ya know...you actually start creating it!! 😜
And even then, the ripple effect of what we create often doesn't show up for years later, if we're even lucky enough to know about it.
(Think about all the famous artists who were unknown during their lifetime...)
But I don't want you to be like them.
I want you to experience the pleasure, thrill and gratification of actually manifesting this idea that's been knockin' around in your head.
I want you to give birth the damn thing already and let it get out in the world and find out what it grows up to be! 😉
I want you to find out (sooner than later) what it's like for that thing to be just the starting point for you...of whatever comes next in your business and personal growth.
I want to help you LAUNCH IT!
Doesn't that sound nice?
'Cuz...
Launching Doesn't Have to Be Lonely
Being an entrepreneur can be a f*cking lonely path sometimes, eh?
There are SO many decisions to make... so much to get done... and even if you have a team to delegate to, you're still the one who has to figure out what you even want to have them do for you next!
(Let alone figure out the rest of your life OUTSIDE your business...)
If you DON'T have a team to delegate to (or not much of one) then it's probably more of you telling yourself what to do...and then being hard on yourself when you don't get it done.
It's hard to find people who can understand both the work that you do, the responsibilities that you have AND the marketing that you need.
Sure, you know other people in your field, but they may not be building an online business the way you want to.
And you might know some people who teach about marketing, but it's hard to explain what you do because...
So Many Marketing People Just Don't Get It...
- Their eyes will glaze over if what you do is too techy...
- They'll look at you like you're crazy if you tell them how "woo woo" your work actually is...
- They lack the emotional intelligence and/or communication skills to have a nuanced understanding of what you're talking about...
- They don't share a passion for the work you're doing, so they can't relate...
- They don't have kids and don't understand why saying "my kid's sick" usually means you aren't going to get ANY work done today...#FurBabiesToo
- They lack the vision to see what you want to create so it's hard for them to help you figure out the steps to get there... You ask them for a website, they ask you for the copy. You ask for graphics, they ask you what graphics you want #IfYouKnewThatYouWouldn'tNeedThem
- They can see the vision but don't have the patience to pay attention to the details that matter to you...
Well, let's consider that problem solved, okay?
You've come to the right place.
Not only do I welcome you here in all your fullness, I resonate with you.
I can meet and match you!
What We Probably Have in Common...
- Geeky
- "Woo Woo"
- Emotional Intelligence
- Passion & Enthusiasm
- Communication Skills
- Spirituality
- Multi-Passionate
- Big-Picture Vision
- Attention to Detail
We'll Be in it Together...
When you work with me, you don't feel lonely.
You have fun!
You feel connected.
You feel seen.
Heard.
Understood.
Cared for.
And supported.
...Emotionally AND logistically.
Because I'm compassionate, experienced AND skilled...
I understand how many balls you're juggling and I understand what it feels like to feel stuck or overwhelmed creating something.
And I have the experience and technical skills to actually DO a lot of it with or for you.
I'm not one of those coaches that says "You should go do x, y and z" and then leaves you to struggle on your own.
I'll probably say, "What do you think about doing x, y and z? How 'bout you do x, I'll do y and let's work on z together!"
Doesn't that sound nice?
And we'll get it done quickly--in a matter of weeks!
Because, contrary to what you mave have experienced so far...
Launching Doesn't Have to Take a Long Time
Does it take you a month to figure out a name for your program?
Does it take THREE months to get a graphic for it done?
Not to mention writing the damn words to describe what you do...?
Or maybe those things would come easily--if only you could figure out what the hell you want to offer! 🤷🏻♀️
Putting something out into the world shouldn't feel like drudgery.
When you're taking inspired action...
- It should be fun
- You should feel inspired
- You should be churning out the content almost effortlessly
- You should feel well supported--logistically AND emotionally
- You should be taking good care of yourself while you do it
- AND....You should be getting it out into the world quickly so that you can find out what resonates, tweak what needs tweaking and keep plowing forward!
It might not feel EXACTLY like 🎩 ✨ waving a magic wand ✨🎩, but it should feel exciting and it should happen pretty damn fast.
But unfortunately, a lot of the time, it doesn't.
If you've had something on your heart and mind for a while that you've been wanting to create, but you just haven't gotten around to it, there's a good chance that it's for one of these reasons...
What's Probably Got You Stuck...
- Perfectionism
- Lack of Experience
- Lack of Skills
- Overwhelm
- Fatigue
- Short on Time
- Indecision
- Fear of Failure
- Fear of Success
And you aren't the only one.
We've all dealt with those challenges from time to time.
Chances are, you're an expert at what you do, but you're at the beginner-to-intermediate level when it comes to marketing yourself and your work.
And even if you happen to be an expert marketer (as some of my clients are)--whatever it is that you want to create--it's still new and leading edge for you!
It's stretching yourself...
Inviting you to expand beyond your current reality...
inviting you to step into a new version of yourself...
And that can be scary!
and stressful!
and overwhelming!
(And also: So very, very satisfying and rewarding when you do it!) 🙃
If you're ready to get support from someone with a strong marketing background who GETS YOU and has the skills to help you launch your project FAST, I would be honored to work with you in my Let's Launch It! 2-week program...
Who I Work With
Soulful, 7-Figure Entrepreneurs
You're a pro at what you do. You've got a team supporting you. You just need someone who can ask the right questions to help you flesh out your vision, find gaps in your assumptions and make sure that what you're creating is truly in alignment with the life you want to live.
Established-yet-Evolving Coaches, Trainers & Therapists
You've built a business serving people you love, doing work that you love but now you know it's time for the next step. You need someone who can help you leverage your skills and experience in a way that can help you earn more money without working so damn hard.
Divinely-Guided, Aspiring Entrepreneurs
You've never done it before, but you're determined to build a business doing what you love. You have a powerful message that the world needs to hear and you want guidance and support to help you figure out what steps to take (in which order) to get from where you are to where you want to be.

We'll work together 2-5 hours at a time, as needed to make progress on your project.

Client-Friend Spotlight
"I didn’t know it was possible to do this much in this time frame!
I didn’t think we were going to make it through this list, I thought there was no way. It seemed so insurmountable, but it wasn't!
The work we got done on the first day alone would have been worth the cost of the entire two-week program!"
-- Krystina Amos
This Re-Brand and Website Redesign is Just a Fraction of What We Got Done Together
Before
After
The Work We'll do...
Depending on your needs, we'll do some or all of the following...
Brainstorming
What do you want to create? What's it going to include? What's it going to be called? How are you going to offer it? How much should you charge for it? What format are you going to use? Which software should you use?
I can help you think through it all.
Content, Course or Curriculum Planning
What do you want to include and what should you leave out? In what order should you present things? How can you organize it so it makes sense and is easy to follow?
I can help you plan it all out.
Copywriting
Who exactly are you writing to? What should you say and where should you say it? How can you say it in a way that is clear, authentic, compelling AND effective?
I can help you write it.
Graphic Design
What graphics do you need for your project? What's the branding going to look like and feel like? What colors and styles do you want to use? How can you create them quickly and easily?
I can help you do the branding & design the graphics.
Website Editing
Which platform should you use? How do you create it in the platform you've already got?
Why can't you get rid of that white space between those two objects? How do you link it to your newsletter?
I can help you plan it all out.
Funnel Planning
What are you selling? What are you giving away for free? What are you upselling into? What's your tripwire going to be? What should your emails promote?
I can help you outline it all.
And We'll Work through the Feelings, too
Of course, this isn't just about getting sh*t done, there are plenty of feelings to navigate throughout the process as well. In fact, often it's our feelings that are KEEPING us from getting it done.
That's why you can count on me to draw on all these tools as we need them to help us along as well:
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
This is woven in to every interaction we have. I'll reflect back what I'm hearing about how you feel and it usually helps you feel understood in a way that lets you drop down into your deeper feelings.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping
This is my go-to when you're feeling stuck/blocked about working on something, or when you're having a hard time getting over a past experience. It's kind of like magic.
Intuitive Questions
I'm going to ask you a lot of questions. Every question I ask gives me clarity and insight into your desires, motivations, needs and challenges, even or especially when the answer is "I'm not sure..."
Emotional Attunement
I'm watching you, my dear. If we come back from a lunch break and I feel a shift in your energy, I'm gonna ask what happened. I am constantly tracking your energy, engagement and emotions to glean insight.
Brave Honesty
If I think you're BSing yourself, I'm gonna say so. If you're telling me you need help with your business but you are out of integrity in your personal life, I'm gonna call you on it. I'll be kind, I'll be caring, but I'm always gonna call it how I see it.
Tender Tears
If we work together long enough (like an hour?) chances are, one of us is gonna end up in tears (of gratitude at least). That's the beauty of being real and vulnerable with each other. All your feelings are welcome with me, in fact, they're a precious gift.
Let's Get Real...
If you don't do this with me, how much longer is it going to be until you actually get it launched?
ARE you even going to get it launched?
How long will it take?
How much longer will you be putting it off before you even START?
Wouldn't it be nice to just KNOW that you have time carved out to work on it?
And to draw on my skills, expertise and intuition to get done IN ONE DAY what you might have been putting off for two years!? #TrueStory
About Wendy...
Wendy Garrido (she/her) is 2-time National gold medalist in Pickleball, an Amazon #1 best-selling author and creator of the Authentic AF Business Braveheart awards. She identifies as queer, polyamorous and somewhere between a connection queen and a connection whore. 🤣 (With all due respect to people in that line of work!)
In her signature coaching program, Get Souled!™ she inspires smart, emotionally-intelligent, self-growth-oriented entrepreneurs to evolve your business in directions that feel like fun and freedom. She’s known for her brilliant-but-casual, compassionate and open-hearted, no-BS style.
With Wendy's authentic marketing approaches she'll inspire you to bring more of your true self to your business and build a business you love based upon your personality, skills and life experiences.
How Much Does it Cost...?
Well, this isn't your average price plan...
It's a sliding scale.
You can choose to pay between $1997-$7500.
What's the catch?
No catch, please stretch and choose the payment level that feels the most generous for your current situation.
When you are choosing a payment level, you might take into account:
- How I've contributed to you already
- Your projected ROI of working with me
- What income you currently are at in your business
- Your current assets/net worth
- How much it means to you to have me by your side
- How much you can afford to pay-it-forward to help other people get access to me
- Anything you know (or would like to ask) about my current financial situation
- How much you've invested elsewhere that may or may not have gotten you the results you hoped for
- Everything else that feels relevant
So ask yourself those questions, then, when the time comes to register, close your eyes, take a deep breath, tune into your heart and your body and ask yourself:
"What feels good and right and fair and generous for me to contribute to Wendy and her work in the world?"
Then pick the price you want and register.
Why Do I Price it Like This?
My time and energy are valuable no matter who I am investing in, how much they pay me or what the ROI (return on investment) is of working.
I've always had gut-based payment arrangements with my client-friends and it has worked out very well for me.
The way I look at it is:
#1) I Trust My Gut
I trust that if you're here in front of me, feeling called to work with me, it's a divine right match for us. If my gut says "yes" to working with you and yours does, too, then I know that there are powerful gifts and lessons to come out of our work together.
#2) ...To Guide Me Toward Mutually-Invested Relationships
I give generously and abundantly to my clients and friends. I share the time, resources, skills and assets I have available to me, and I know that you'll do the same. Sometimes those resources will be financial, sometimes they'll be in the form of referrals, support, or just a compassionate ear.
#3) ...Because I Am Building Long-Term Community
I work with my clients year after year, some for over a decade. My goal right now is not to work with as many people as possible, it's to build an interconnected web with other like-minded folks.
#4) ...And I Know That When We Are Committed to Caring for Each Other AND Ourselves, We'll Both Know When the Energy Exchange is Uneven
I'm working on a better analogy, but let's say you have a bucket and I have a bucket.
If I am pouring water into your bucket, and you're only looking at your own bucket, you'll think it's GREAT!! You'll have WAY more water than you did before.
How much water do I have? Traditional capitalistic models would say it's not your problem, not your concern, take what you can get, right?
In fact, you'll have no way of knowing when I need more water if you never actually look in my bucket. But if we are BOTH tracking how much water we each have in each of our buckets we can make sure that we BOTH always water when we need it. When I get low, you can give some back, when I have more, I can give some to you.
In this analogy, our water is our skills, resources, time, energy, money and experience.
We'll share generously, communicate openly & honestly, and support each other however we can.
If this resonates with you, I would love to work together...
What's NOT Included?
this sh*t is just not in my wheelhouse...
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
I can point you to some resources but this is NOT my specialty. If SEO is critical to your business, hire someone else who will do it right.
Social Media
I can help you think of ideas to post, or help you design a template for your graphics, but I run a social-media-free business so I'm not up to date on the latest trends.
Proofreading
I'll do my best but I can't guarantee that I'll catch every typo.
Please excuse the typos on this page, and then...
Repeat after me: Done is better than perfect.
