Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!

This conversation opens on calling, guidance, and what it looks like to trust a path before you can see where it leads, and that path is exactly how Giselle Sandy-Phillips ended up writing a career guide for Gen Z. (Book talk starts around 24:00, if you want to jump ahead.) She built it as a family project: her own kids gave feedback on every chapter, and her daughter's photo is on the cover. 

In this conversation, Wendy and Giselle explore:

• The gap she kept seeing between how young employees actually think and communicate, vs. the myth that they are lazy, entitled, and unprepared
• How financial literacy, mental health, and career planning all ended up in the same book
• How the project shifted the moment she stopped keeping it private and let her own kids shape what made it into the final book

Giselle's book started as one woman noticing a hole on the shelf and deciding to fill it. What's followed — award recognition, international book fairs, a growing list of press — has as much to do with the people she brought along for the process as it does with her own drive to see it through.
