Wendy Valentine is the host of The Midlife Makeover Show podcast and author of the upcoming book, Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play (New World Library, 9/9/25).
In her debut book, Women Waking Up, Wendy redefines midlife not as a crisis, but as a powerful opportunity for reinvention. Drawing from her transformative journey of buying an RV and traveling cross-country seeking new adventures—she identifies seven steps any woman can follow on their own road to fulfillment. The book is rich with practical exercises, journaling prompts, and real-life strategies, making personal growth feel accessible and even fun.
