ABOUT WENDY
Hi! I’m Wendy Sare Meadows and I am a Certified Life Coach. I am a (somewhat retiring) lawyer who is turning her career to focus on coaching and breathing life and inspiration into individuals and their families. I am a mama to two kiddos, married, and a child of divorce. I have weathered a lot of turbulence and change in my life. However, each time there was something hard and I felt stuck, I was able to search until I found a silver lining, change my path, and grow my perspective, heart, and outlook on life. Doing so has allowed me to live the best life for me.
I am here to help you do the same. I am here to help you live the best life for you. While I specialize in helping other lawyer moms, I have many years of experience helping individuals from all walks of life.
I have spent the last 16 years as a divorce lawyer and 5 years as a family law mediator and health and wellness coach. I always had that twinge in my gut that I was on the path to “something” else as well.
My Path as a Lawyer
I started off with a small boutique family law firm in Towson, Maryland and was honored to become an equity partner there in just 5 years. I quickly became managing partner there and learned the ropes on how to run a business and became adept at time management and efficiency. After 13 years, I decided to branch out and “go solo.” I was able to pay off all of my startup costs in my first 6 months of solo practice and was able to almost double my take home salary while on my own in my first full year of practice.
At present, my legal career focuses on mediation, parent coordination, and representing children. I have had the opportunity to guide hundreds upon hundreds of clients through the absolute worst periods of their life as their divorce attorney. From wealthy CEO’s to children as young as 8 months old, I have represented a wide range of individuals with different needs and goals.
What set me apart as a family law lawyer was that I was always laser focused on my client’s goals and desired outcome. Instead of allowing my clients to fight for the sake of fighting, I would keep them focused on the big picture. Oftentimes my clients would have no idea what they actually wanted from their divorce and together we would set their goals, focus on what they could get from their divorce, and most importantly concentrate on how these goals and outcomes would inure to their benefit in their life after divorce.
My Path as a Health and Wellness Coach
In 2016 I realized that practicing law wasn’t “enough” for me. I was tired and burnt out and I was ready for something shiny and new and invigorating. Around this same time, I fell in love with healthy eating and fitness. I saw what wonderful benefits it brought to my life and almost accidentally began a coaching business. That business also grew and through it I have helped hundreds of women “find themselves” through healthy eating and fitness, but mostly through the personal connections they made with others while working with me. I have guided women through the most wonderful changes and metamorphoses. Through coaching, I realized I could make an impact in someone’s life in a way that was more deep and profound than litigation.

Full Circle – Why I became a Life Coach
My role in each job is to listen, pay attention to my client’s desired goals and outcome, find and set realistic expectations, and then help them go out there and get them!
In my 21 years of experience, I have discovered one really important commonality: We, as humans, need encouragement and a LIGHT.
We tend to put everyone else first and leave ourselves dead last. When we put ourselves dead last, we are often dead tired, which means we do nothing for ourselves, no one is there to hear us and guide us, and we become frustrated and miserable. We have great ideas, great intentions, great possibility, yet we never feel like we can get over the hump and actually get there. All of that goodness stays in the horizon and we can never quite touch it, do it, and live it.
I am here to help bring that horizon to you. Through my 1 on 1 coaching, we will get you out of your head and get unstuck. As our sessions go on, you will feel a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders, understand what has been holding you back, create a personalized and do-able action plan, and get unstuck!
