Midlife isn’t the end of your story — it’s the beginning of an extraordinary new chapter! In this powerful episode of Thrive After 45, we welcome the remarkable Wendy Alexander, a Career Coach who is redefining what it means to pivot with purpose.
Wendy’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and fearless reinvention. From navigating the corporate world as a hiring manager for multimillion-dollar projects to surviving domestic violence and financial hardship, she knows firsthand what it takes to rise, rebuild, and reclaim your life.
But it wasn’t until menopause struck, shaking up everything she thought she knew, that she made the bold decision to leave corporate behind and step into her true calling.
Now, Wendy empowers midlife women to break free from unfulfilling careers and design their Career 2.0 - a path filled with purpose, passion, and possibility. In this candid conversation, she shares:
✨ The signs that it’s time for a career reinvention
✨ How menopause and workplace stress intersect and what to do about it
✨ The power of advocating for yourself in the corporate world
✨ Why midlife is the perfect time to build the career (and life!) you truly desire
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or unsure of what’s next, this episode will light the fire within you.
You are not “too late,” and you are not alone. It’s time to rewrite the rules and create a life that excites you!
