After navigating divorce, menopause, job loss, debt, and an empty nest -- all at once -- Wendy stopped living on autopilot and started designing a life that finally felt like her own. Her journey from breakdown to breakthrough fuels everything she does.
Today, Wendy helps women kick fear to the curb, reconnect with their purpose, and create bold, joy-fueled lives through her book, her FREEDOM coaching method, and her transformational programs. Whether she's leading a group of women through guided meditations or road-tripping the US in her motorhome, Wendy is on a mission to prove that it's never too late to wake up to what's possible.
She currently splits her time between Portugal and wherever the road takes her, living proof that life gets better -- not smaller -- with age. Learn more at wendyvalentine dot com.
