How Wendy Charles Maguire Found Her Second Wind Through Podcasting

A lot of women in their 40’s, 50’s, and over, sometimes lose their purpose or direction. After children go to college, after retirement, or just being in a position where they just begin to ask themselves – what’s next? 

Wendy Charles Maguire knew exactly how that felt. She knew that she needed to create a space for these women to share their stories, inspire each other, and build one another. The nudge she felt was so strong that she was able to create Second Wind The Podcast, a platform that has now been constantly inspiring not just women in their 40’s but women from all walks of life.

In this episode, Wendy shares with us how she started her podcast with a mission to help women in their 40’s and beyond find their purpose in life. And how she found her own second wind through her mission.

 Do the things that speak to your heart, and that make you feel alive. – Wendy
