About this listen
What if midlife isn’t a crisis . . . but a wake-up call?
In Women Waking Up, Wendy Valentine doesn’t just challenge the outdated narrative of decline and invisibility at midlife—she blows it up and replaces it with a bold, badass manifesto for reinvention.
With raw honesty, a wicked sense of humor, and hard-won wisdom, Wendy invites women everywhere to toss aside society’s limiting scripts and step into the most powerful, playful, and purposeful chapter of their lives. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned-out, or simply wondering, Is this all there is?, this book is your call to action—and your roadmap forward.
Drawing from her own dramatic transformation—from broke, sick, and newly divorced to thriving entrepreneur and podcast host—Wendy walks you through her groundbreaking FREEDOM method, a seven-step process to:
• Free Yourself from outdated beliefs and self-sabotage
• Reset Your Life by clearing emotional and physical clutter
• Envision a New Future filled with vitality, confidence, and joy
• Embrace and Explore your passions, creativity, and potential
• Detach from Tomorrow and start living in the now
• Own Your Badass Self with unshakable boundaries and self-worth
• Master Yourself to stay grounded through life’s inevitable ups and downs
You’ll uncover your signature superpowers through her Spectacular Six Superhero Quiz, create a customized Wheel of Midlife to prioritize what matters most, and craft your personal Midlife Mantra to keep you focused and fired up.
This isn’t just a book—it’s a midlife revolution in motion. With guided exercises, real-life tools, and soul-stirring meditations, Women Waking Up will become your personal coach, cheerleader, and soul sister. It’s a hands-on journey of reflection, reinvention, and reawakening that helps you not just learn about change—but live it.
Wendy’s message is clear: You are not too old, and it’s not too late. The second half of your life isn’t about fading—it’s about rising. If you’re ready to stop sleepwalking through midlife and start living with soul, Women Waking Up is the no-nonsense, deeply empowering guidebook you’ve been waiting for.
