“Be playful. Go beyond me.” — Dr. Bill Bengston

In this episode, I sit down with Margaret Nies, the beloved partner and collaborator of the late Dr. Bill Bengston. I still remember how excited I was when she replied to my email—I truly felt like Bill may have helped nudge this connection into being.

Margaret shares insights on the evolution of the Bengston Method, the ongoing research into healing-infused water and cotton, and the future of workshops that continue Bill’s mission. We talk about the love, curiosity, and scientific integrity that fueled Bill’s work, and explore how the Bengston Method continues today through community practice.

What if healing isn’t about pushing harder—but about giving yourself permission to pause, soften, and nurture self-compassion?

In this episode, Wendy sits down with Victoria Duarte and Janice Landfair to explore how healing arts like Reiki, massage, and somatic practices are transforming the lives of patients and caregivers.

Whether you’re supporting a loved one through cancer or navigating your own challenges, this conversation offers tools to calm your nervous system, reconnect with joy, and create space for your healing, too.

In this thoughtful and inspiring episode of Sundays with Wendy, I sit down with public health innovator Katy Terveer to explore how purpose and connection aren’t just nice-to-haves—they're central to our well-being at every stage of life.

We talk about: What caregiving, grief, and identity teach us about purpose, the surprising connection between healing and social engagement, how young and old alike can benefit from intergenerational wisdom, and why retirement isn't an ending—but a chance to begin again.

Whether you're entering a new life chapter, seeking meaning, or simply feeling the pull to reconnect—this conversation offers heart, insight, and hope.
