About the Founder

Wiley is the founder of WanderWi - a healing movement built from spiritual downloads, soul aches, and at least two emotional breakdowns in Walmart parking lot.

After surviving religious shame, people-pleasing, identity erasure, and the long-ass road of self-worth recovery, Wiley realized healing isn’t about becoming someone shinier; it’s about finally becoming you. The version of you that takes up space, sets boundaries without apologizing, and genuinely enjoys your own damn company.

She knows what it’s like to hit rock bottom, not once, but in waves, and still choose to keep showing up. To question everything you were taught. To unlearn survival-mode self-hate. To rebuild a relationship with your body, mind, and spirit from the ground up. Not in a linear, glowing-aura kind of way, but in the real, raw, “cry in the shower and still show up to hold space for others” kind of way.

With years of experience in mentorship and leadership - from youth communities to corporate teams - plus lived experience in queer identity reclamation and mental health education, Wiley brings both spiritual softness and no-BS clarity to her work.

WanderWi was born from a vision she received during a deep season of healing; a knowing that she was here to create refuge, reconnection, and resource for others walking their own path. What started as a whisper has grown into something real: a podcast, a movement, and a sanctuary-in-the-making where folks remember they’ve always been enough.
