Wendy Valentine is an internationally published author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play, an inspiring book that became a #1 Amazon New Release, Founder of Midlifology™, and Keynote Speaker. She’s also the host of the top 1% globally ranked podcast, The Midlife Makeover Show, inspiring women worldwide to embrace midlife as a powerful new beginning.
After navigating divorce, menopause, job loss, debt, and an empty nest—all at once—Wendy stopped living on autopilot and started designing a life that finally felt like her own. Her journey from breakdown to breakthrough fuels everything she does.
Today, Wendy empowers women to kick fear to the curb, reconnect with their purpose, and create bold, joy-fueled lives. She’s been featured on Good Day New York, CBS News Los Angeles, NBC News Philadelphia, and numerous top-rated podcasts and media outlets, where she shares her empowering message that midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a catalyst.
Splitting her time between Portugal and traveling the USA in her RV, Wendy is living proof that life gets better—not smaller—with age.

At 45 years old, Wendy Valentine found herself at a personal crossroads—navigating major life transitions all at once and questioning who she was becoming. What she didn’t realize then was that this moment of uncertainty would become the catalyst for everything that followed.
In this powerful and entertaining keynote, Wendy shares how she rebuilt her life not by waiting for clarity, confidence, or the “right time”—but by becoming the person capable of creating what came next.
Through her signature B3 Method—Believe, Behave, Become, Wendy challenges the idea that change happens after we feel ready. Instead, she shows how lasting transformation begins with identity—and how small, intentional shifts in belief and behavior create momentum over time.
Blending relatable storytelling, humor, and practical insight, this session helps audiences navigate transition, reconnect with their inner authority, and take meaningful action—even when the path forward feels uncertain.
