Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play

In Women Waking Up, Wendy Valentine redefines midlife for women based on her experience of following her dream, buying an RV, and traveling cross-country seeking new adventures. Like millions of other Gen X women, Wendy was approaching age fifty facing a host of seemingly insurmountable problems: unemployment, divorce, anxiety, a mountain of debt, the death of her brother, and chronic illness. Rejecting the notion of a midlife crisis, she resolved to take charge of her life and claim her midlife awakening instead. On the back roads of America, she found herself and identified a process any woman can take to get from point A of angst to point B of bliss -- her seven-step FREEDOM method. She shares her hard-earned wisdom and a wealth of practical techniques to help you chart your own course to satisfaction, balance, and the one-of-a-kind life you've always wanted.
