179. Wendy Valentine on Midlife Crisis vs. Awakening

Wellness expert and author Heather Grzych talks with Wendy Valentine, author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play and host of The Midlife Makeover Show. Together they explore how midlife can be a time of awakening rather than crisis: a moment to shed old roles, rediscover joy, and say yes to the life waiting beyond fear. Wendy opens up about divorce, grief, and the courage it takes to reinvent yourself publicly, while Heather reflects on the cycles of transformation that every woman faces. This is a conversation about passion, purpose, and learning to trust the process of becoming who you really are.
