Wendy Broich is the epitome of women’s empowerment.  She is a business woman, certified pole dance instructor, sex coach, self-love enthusiast and she lives her life unashamed & unapologetically. Wendy and Shatai talk about authenticity, confidence, and trusting your body and mind. In a world of judgement, anxiety, and over-stimulation, sometimes we need to shut our minds off and let our bodies do the talking. If you listen, it’ll let you know exactly what it needs! 

Wendy shares her experience with growing up in rural Iowa, and the two can relate on growing up as biracial, black girls in a predominantly white town. With Shatai being African and Wendy having white parents, they discuss what it was like “learning how to be black” from figuring out their curly hair to embracing their thick thighs. Growing up mixed: not being black enough, not being white enough. It is important to know that your feelings are valid, its ok to not be ok, and you don’t need to minimize your trauma because you think it wasn’t “real trauma” compared to other peoples’ tragedies. “I don’t want to share my traumas because I look like an asshole, I may not have been through an in your face sort of trauma, but I was neglected as fuck.” Stop judging yourself, thinking “I shouldn’t feel this way, my problems aren’t real problems” this creates a lot of self-shame and prevents you from processing legitimate issues in your life. 

Wendy also discusses her personal journey of personal and professional growth, and how she continues to motivate and push herself to new limits in all aspects of her life!
