In this empowering and heart-centered episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy welcomes Kristi Simons, a former educator turned teen life coach, who’s on a mission to help teenagers thrive emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Kristi shares powerful insights on how confidence isn’t just something we feel—it’s something we do. With heartfelt stories and actionable tools, she shows us how we can support our teens without trying to fix them and why emotional intelligence is the missing link in so many young lives.

From her own journey of disconnection as a teen to now coaching young people on how to trust themselves, take brave action, and reverse engineer how they want to feel, Kristi’s work is transformational. Whether you’re raising teens or healing your own inner teen, this conversation is packed with soulful wisdom, laughter, and inspiration.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why emotional intelligence is more important than straight A’s
• How reverse engineering your emotions can boost confidence
• The difference between coaching and therapy—and why teens may need both
• Tips for parents to support teens without hovering or “fixing”

What if the stories you’ve believed about womanhood no longer serve you? What if midlife is not a crisis, but a portal to your deepest power and pleasure? In this soulful and empowering episode, Wendy sits down with bestselling author, mythologist, and spiritual teacher Dr. Alanna Kaivalya to explore the myths that have shaped our lives—and how to rewrite them in a way that honors our feminine essence. With her PhD in Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology, Alanna helps women break free from outdated archetypes, drop the masculine armor, and become the Satisfied Woman—a woman who embodies fulfillment, sovereignty, and soul satisfaction.

Together, Wendy and Alanna dive deep into the duality of masculine and feminine energy, the magic of midlife reinvention, and how true empowerment comes not from doing more, but from receiving more. This conversation is a blend of ancient wisdom, modern insight, and real talk about relationships, patriarchy, purpose, and what it really means to be free. Whether you’re crawling out of your own chrysalis or just starting to awaken to your feminine fire—this one’s for you.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

• Why midlife is the perfect time for feminine reinvention
• The true meaning of a “Satisfied Woman” (hint: it’s not what you think!)
• How patriarchy masked our feminine gifts—and how to reclaim them
• The difference between masculine and feminine energy (and how to balance both)
• How emotion and intuition are your feminine superpowers
• Why curating your life, relationships, and energy is essential for your wellbeing
• How to navigate conflict and receive support without giving yourself away

Grief is one of life’s most painful teachers—but in the darkness, there can be light. In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy sits down with Lisa Boehm, a certified grief educator, inspirational speaker, and author of Journey to Healing: A Mother’s Guide to Navigating Child Loss. After the unimaginable loss of her 17-year-old daughter Katie, Lisa turned her pain into purpose by creating a supportive community for grieving mothers and sharing practical tools for healing.

Together, Wendy and Lisa dive deep into the raw reality of grief, the myths that keep us silent, and the healing power of embracing both sorrow and joy. Lisa shares her “H.O.P.E.” pillars—four transformative strategies to carry you through grief of any kind, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, or your identity. This conversation will comfort your soul, open your heart, and remind you that even in the depths of loss, you are not alone.

💫 What You’ll Learn:

• How to navigate grief using Lisa’s “H.O.P.E.” framework
• Why it’s okay (and necessary) to feel both grief and joy
• The dos and don’ts of supporting someone who’s grieving
• How to find meaning, purpose, and even creativity after loss
• Why surrounding yourself with the right people can be key to healing
