From Courtroom Battles to Sparkle and Grit: How Wendy S. Meadows Left Burnout Behind and Found Purpose in Coaching

What happens when a high-powered attorney trading in courtroom battles decides she’s done with conflict? In episode 229 of Joy Found Here, Wendy S. Meadows shares how she rewrote her story, swapping litigation for coaching, mediation, and a framework for lasting joy. Once a successful family law attorney and partner at her firm, Wendy realized the adversarial nature of litigation no longer aligned with her values. Her pivot into mediation and coaching allowed her to create a career that uplifts others instead of tearing them down.


Her book Sparkle and Grit offers a roadmap for high-achieving women to move beyond burnout and live with clarity. For Wendy, grit isn’t about grinding harder—it’s about perseverance through small, consistent steps, while sparkle is the inspiration that keeps you moving toward a life you truly want. She also opens up about her upcoming projects, including Letters to Little Wendy, a heartfelt guide rooted in her own journey of overcoming self-doubt and people-pleasing.


In this episode, Wendy reflects on why self-trust, curiosity, and empathy are the keys to transformation. From showing divorcing couples there is a kinder way forward to reminding women that they can redefine success on their own terms, her message is clear: fulfillment comes not from perfection, but from choosing courage, baby steps, and joy every single day.


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Finding her old journals and lifelong patterns (4:20)
  • Why she’s writing Letters to Little Wendy (5:51)
  • Entering family law and rising as a litigator (7:30)
  • Discovering the contrast through wellness coaching (7:58)
  • Leaving her firm and choosing mediation (10:29)
  • How COVID led her to life coaching (10:54)
