How Changing Lives Could Change Yours
Changing Lives is a trustworthy companion on your mental and spiritual wellbeing journey. I publish it to share information, resources, and practices that have helped me and others get through hard times and create better lives. We share our mental and spiritual struggles and how we’ve changed our lives because we want to help you change yours. And because we know that helping others helps us, too, and that an authentic, supportive community makes personal and collective transformation both more likely and more fun!
Subscription Options and Benefits
A FREE subscription gives you weekly posts each Friday. The format of these posts varies and includes Substack Live podcast recordings, personal essays, and resource recommendations.
PAID subscribers also get membership in my private community, which includes:
Monthly live Zoom gatherings (and access to recordings)
The ability to comment on all written posts
Private community chat threads with monthly themes and discussion prompts
This private community is where the magic happens. It’s where we really get to know and trust each other because we can have ongoing in-depth conversations in the comments on written posts, private chat threads, and on Zoom.
It’s a safe, mutually supportive place to share concerns, grieve losses, and express outrage. It’s also a place to share good news, proud moments, and our hopes for the future. A place to make genuine connections that help us cope with challenges and make positive changes in our lives and the world.
Hi, I’m Wendi, the person behind Changing Lives
I’m Wendi Gordon, a former pastor who has deconstructed, recovered from depression, and created a new career as a mental and spiritual health writer, speaker, and coach. I have a graduate degree and years of professional experience, but my most valuable wisdom has come from going through some major shitstorms and learning that it’s healthier to talk about them than to pretend they never happened or were no big deal.
I don’t claim to have all the answers (or that my answers are right for everyone). My goal is to help you find and trust your own answers, so I provide tools that make it easier for you to do that.
Changing Lives is more than the title of my Substack. It’s my mission in life, and the reason I’m also a speaker, group leader, and private coach. DM me for more details about these services or schedule a call to discuss your specific needs here.
Note: I’m not a licensed medical or mental health provider. Nothing I share is intended as medical advice or a substitute for treatment by a licensed professional.
