Midlife is an opportunity for reinvention, according to author Wendy Valentine

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).

The book is rich with practical exercises, journaling prompts, and real-life strategies, making personal growth feel accessible and even fun.
