Description
Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!
Join Jane and Wendy as they have an authentic unedited conversation about a Love Letter from Anna to her teacher Susie.
Anna’s love letter to Susie illustrates the power a teacher has to make a lasting impact. ‘She was more than a teacher to all of us’
For forty years Susie encouraged her students to embrace their life experiences, planting the seeds in their hearts to reach for their dreams.
Later in life, Anna had the opportunity to share with Susie that ‘This life I’m living was inspired by you’, and then Anna was able to return the favor to her teacher and help Susie live out one of her own dreams.
They talk about;
- How the duality of an invitation offered and accepted is a gift to both parties.
- How shared stories make for an incredible connection.
- The way that a deep connection can happen when one person holds up a mirror for another reflecting their own spirit.
Wendy’s Takeaways
- The concept of the student becoming the teacher as she followed her intuition.
- Trusting yourself to have a courageous conversation and see where it goes.
Jane’s Takeaways
- The idea that a person can ‘be a love letter’, constantly being rewritten.
- How Anna expressed that being asked to share a love letter gave Anna permission to explore.
- That a conversation about a love letter can allow someone to heal from something that they haven’t quite acknowledged.

What is a love letter?
It is a letter, a text, a poem, a direct message, a drawing, a voice message, a watercolor, a recipe, a cup of tea, a smile, a home-baked meal delivered. It's anything that connects us and makes us feel all those messy emotions, that without life would be pretty beige.
