    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    In Women Waking Up, Wendy Valentine doesn’t just challenge the outdated narrative of decline and invisibility at midlife — she blows it up and replaces it with a bold, badass manifesto for reinvention.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    • Free Yourself from outdated beliefs and self-sabotage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 read 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.

    Ideal for fans of Untamed, The Wisdom of Menopause, and Warrior Goddess Training.
