What if following your gut is not just emotional, but physical too?

In this episode of Follow The Pull, Wendy Kim sits down with Lauren Callahan, an integrative wellness consultant, speaker, former therapist, internal family systems practitioner, and ultra endurance athlete.

Lauren shares how learning to trust her intuition changed her life. After years of feeling disconnected from her inner voice, she made a drastic move from Louisiana to Bangladesh with her two young children. What began as a search for purpose became a painful breakdown across her faith, relationships, identity, and family life. But that breakdown eventually became the beginning of rebuilding herself with more freedom, peace, and self-trust.

Wendy and Lauren also talk about gut health, nutrition, and plant-based eating. After struggling with inflammation, recovery, mood, and marathon training, Lauren discovered that improving her gut health changed her energy, sleep, immunity, athletic performance, and overall well-being.

Later, she followed another pull toward a more plant-based diet and found that it gave her more capacity instead of restriction.

In this episode:

● Why Lauren struggled to trust her intuition

● How breakdowns can become the beginning of rebuilding

● Why she chose peace during a painful divorce

● How gut health impacted her mood, energy, and performance

● Why fiber matters for overall health

● How plant-based eating helped her feel like herself again

If you have ever felt disconnected from your body, your intuition, or your own inner voice, this episode is a reminder that healing can begin with one honest step toward what feels true.

What if executive presence is not about performing, but learning how to access yourself under pressure?

In this episode of Follow The Pull, Wendy Kim sits down with Ann Keil Dux, an executive communications coach rooted in Emmy Award-winning journalism, founder of Dux Communications, ICF Certified Coach, and strategic advisor to executives, founders, and high-performing leaders.

Ann shares how her years as an investigative television journalist shaped her ability to simplify complex information and help people communicate with clarity. After being diagnosed with cancer in her mid-30s, she began to rethink her identity, her impact, and the kind of work she truly wanted to do.

In this episode:

● Why communication starts with access to yourself

● What Ann calls the “75% problem”

● How cancer became a turning point in her career

● Why your value is not your title

● How to identify the verbs that define your unique value

What if confidence is not something you wait to feel, but something you build by putting yourself out there before you feel ready?

In this episode of Follow The Pull, Wendy Kim sits down with Sheena Yap Chan, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestselling author, TEDx and keynote speaker, and founder of the Confidence Through Visibility movement.

Sheena shares how growing up in Asian culture taught her to follow expectations, stay quiet, avoid mistakes, and second-guess her own judgment. Instead of being encouraged to trust her intuition, she learned to seek approval and wait until she felt perfectly ready.

But over time, Sheena realized that waiting for perfect confidence was delaying her life. After the passing of her aunt, she began to see how short life really is and decided she did not want to live with regret. That realization pushed her to follow the pull, leave behind the traditional

path, move to Hawaii, build her platform, write books, speak on stages, and create more visibility for Asian women.

Wendy and Sheena talk about rejection, perfectionism, representation, self-trust, human readiness, and why the people getting opportunities are not always more qualified. Sometimes, they are simply more willing to put themselves out there.

This conversation is a reminder that you do not have to feel fully ready to begin. You can say yes, learn as you go, and trust that you are capable of figuring it out.

In this episode:

● Why Sheena was not taught to trust her intuition

● How cultural expectations can create perfectionism

● Why visibility builds confidence

● What happens when you wait until you feel ready

● Why rejection should be normalized

● How representation helps others believe what is possible

● Why human readiness matters in an AI-driven world

● What self-trust really means

If you have ever talked yourself out of an opportunity because you felt unprepared, underqualified, or afraid of rejection, this episode will remind you that confidence grows when you take action.
