  • Lessons from the Cowardly Lion
    Aug 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Today’s episode is roaring with heart. I lean into the messy and beautiful: courage. When a young mom brave enough to step out through postpartum depression joined our live recording, it became crystal clear: courage isn’t always about grand moments—it’s often in the smallest “still showing up.” I weave in wisdom inspired by the Cowardly Lion, Rosa Parks, and Claudette Colvin—proof that courage often starts from fear and grows through choices- it’s about the tiny, raw, brave choices we make to keep going.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Courage isn't about fearlessness, it’s about acting despite your fears.
    • Real courage grows from everyday choices.

  • Practically Imperfect in Every Way
    Aug 10 2025

    Send us a text

    The Imperfect Prophet celebrates one year, coming to you live from Arizona Stronghold in Old Town Scottsdale—where wine, red carpets, and real talk collide. I start with a reminder: “It doesn’t matter if you fail—you’ve already changed the world,” unpacking why fear of failure is obsolete when your impact is already unfolding. Through humor, candid confessions (my redheaded-Mary Poppins ambition), and moments of audience connection, we celebrate looking for the dots and connect them together. You are not late, you are perfectly on time for this LIVE Podcast!

    Key Takeaways:

    • Show up imperfectly because your presence matters more than perfection.
    • Lean into your community knowing connection fuels courage and growth.

    Send us a text

    Hello Bucket Listers, it’s me—Wonder Wendy. On this episode, I take you straight to Detroit’s glow-up—the city that hit the skids and came roaring back like a steel-and-concrete phoenix—and I tap it to your own midlife ignition. Think of desire after 50 not as something broken, but as a diesel engine—slow to fire, yes, but once you warm it up? Powerful. Enduring. I share how the Motor City’s comeback—its resilience and grit—is a darn good mirror for your own rebirth.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Rebuilding intimacy on your own terms
    • Reigniting passion with values over scripts
    • Staying powered through change

  • From Fear to Fascination: Lessons from a Spider’s Web
    Jul 27 2025

    Send us a text

    Wonder Wendy here with an episode where I wander through my own journey—from fearing spiders to marveling at the intricate wonder of their webs. What I discovered? That those delicate threads hold up to storms, capture beauty, and teach us how to weave strength through our fears. Those webs aren’t just fragile—they’re astonishingly resilient. Spider silk can be stronger than steel, yet flexible and forgiving. That got me thinking: do we need to build our lives and relationships the same way?

    Key Takeaways:

    • Find the core “threads”—values, faith, and close friends—that hold us steady during change.
    • Look at the power of small acts—the “micro-moments”—and how they strengthen our wider support web.
    • Why fear doesn’t stop growth—and may spark it.

    Hi friends, it’s me—Wonder Wendy. I’m inviting you to take a moment and notice the whispers of the universe—those goosebump instants, angel messages, and small nudges that show up in our day-to-day. I share a deeply personal story about how a simple gesture lifted someone’s spirits and how recognizing those moments can open us to healing, connection, and self-discovery. We also dive into the often-hidden wounds we carry—our “scabs”—and explore how honoring them with care and courage allows real growth.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Honor invisible wounds with self-compassion
    • Build deeper connections through acts of kindness

    This week, I'm diving deep into what it means to truly reclaim your voice in midlife—and beyond. After menopause, society often whispers that we should fade into the background. Well, I’m here to say: no way. Imperfections don’t disqualify us—they qualify us. From challenging gender stereotypes to leaning into the strength that comes with age, I share stories of finding my voice again—and how you can too.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Reclaim personal power and confidence with age
    • Speak up—boldly and authentically—in all areas of life

  • Why Going Back Never Feels the Same
    Jul 6 2025

    Hi friends, it’s me—Wonder Wendy. In this episode, I’m taking you with me to Vermont—my old stomping grounds—and deep into the heart of something we all wrestle with: nostalgia. Driving through my hometown, past maple trees and memories, I felt the pull of the past in a way that was comforting… and a little tricky. It got me wondering: Are we remembering things as they were, or as we wish they were? Through some very personal reflections, I talk about the danger of getting too cozy with old memories—how seductive they can be—and how important it is to honor where we’ve been without getting stuck there.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Nostalgia is powerful—but it’s not always honest
    • You can honor your past without living in it
    • The present deserves your full presence

    I’m bringing you along on a very special journey… to Cape Cod. It’s a place that wasn’t part of my childhood, but somehow it’s become a part of my heart. In this episode, I reflect on the power of place, and how even when it’s not where we started, it can still feel like home. I share what it’s like to see generations come together, how our traditions evolve, and how deeply meaningful it is to show up—fully present—in the moments that matter most.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why memory, place, and tradition are so powerful in shaping who we are
    • How to embrace the transitions that come with aging, loss, and growth
    • The joy and healing found in multi-generational connection
