Like millions of other Gen X women, Wendy Valentine entered midlife plagued with a host of seemingly insurmountable problems: unemployment, divorce, anxiety, a mountain of debt, the death of her brother, and chronic illness. She held on to a vision of opening a new door, a dream of herself driving across the country cool, collected, happy, and singing along with the tunes blasting from her Bluetooth. Unrealistic? Maybe. Still, it worked.
In Women Waking Up, Valentine redefines midlife for women based on her own experience of following her vision, buying an RV, and traveling cross-country seeking new adventures. On the back roads of America, she found herself. She lays out a step-by-step process of getting from point A of angst to point B of bliss in the F.R.E.E.D.O.M. method, walking readers through their own midlife makeover process.
Valentine guides readers to explore the eight areas that form a ?wheel? of life: love, career, friends, family, finance, personal growth, health, and leisure. Along the way, she reminds readers that they have something they didn't before: knowledge and experience. This book shows how all women can find balance, harmony, satisfaction, and the lives they've always wanted.
