110. Trusting the Detours: When the Universe Has Better Plans Than You Do with Wendy Shulman
Episode 110
Friday, 24 April, 2026

Life gives many of us moments that can crack us open. For Wendy, this was a car accident that led her to seek alternative healing modalities and ultimately open up a healing center: Roslyn Salt Cave. We talk about the ups and downs, keeping faith in your vision, and letting life bring you what you need even when it’s not always what you want. We also talk about the unglamorous in-between stages of the healing journey, the sometimes indignant inner child, why discernment matters more than any single modality, and building a community of healers. We also get personal about gratitude practices, forgiveness rituals, breathwork, and what it means to see your “purpose” as broader than any one action or dream.In this episode we discuss:How a car accident became the catalyst for Wendy's pathThe unglamorous "in-between" phase after crisis"Collecting ingredients" - why seemingly random experiences and detours are often exactly what you needLearning to trust your intuitionThe wellness industry's complicated relationship with science, placebo, and ancestral healing traditionsCreating sacred healing environments — how sight, scent, sound, and curation shape the experience of healingDaily rituals: morning practices, gratitude, forgiveness and bedtime intentionsThe difference between chasing a destination and living the journeyWendy Shulman is a dynamic speaker, life architect, and coach based in Roslyn, New York, renowned for guiding individuals toward profound personal transformation and purpose-drivenlives.
