    Feb 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Hey there, and welcome back to another episode of The Imperfect Prophet. It’s me, Wonder Wendy, here with a cup of coffee and a thought-provoking conversation about shopping yes, shopping, especially when you're a Queenager (that’s right, you read it, Queenager). I know, shopping can feel like a daunting task, but let’s chat about how we, as women of a certain age, can start embracing it, letting go of old shopping myths, and finding styles that suit our evolving bodies.

    Whether you love or dread shopping, I hope today’s conversation gives you a little more confidence to embrace your own personal style. Don’t let societal expectations or your past experiences hold you back. Be fearless when it comes to fashion, and remember, it's not about perfection it's about feeling great in your own skin!

    Key Points:

    The pressures of clothing shopping and the myths around fitting into "perfect" sizes.

    • Embracing your body at every stage, especially as it changes over time.
    • Why it's important to let go of old fashion rules and be open to modernizing your style.
    • How to avoid the pitfall of comparing yourself to "model" sizes and clothes made for specific body types.
    • Finding stores that cater to your needs and learning to ask for help when needed.

  • Can 34 cents change your life? One penny at a time can Make Life a litter Richer
    Jan 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever wondered what you could do with just 34 cents? It might seem like pocket change, but their worth can offer surprising insights into everyday blessings and even inspire a great conversation starter!

    In today's episode, we journey through the delight of finding small blessings in those seemingly insignificant little coins scattered around parking lots.

    I’ll share thoughts on the art of storytelling, much like how I enthrall my audience with stories of childhood and the nostalgia of 34 cents buying candy and soda back in the day.

    Nostalgia can create a bond with listeners who share those sentiments or are curious about those earlier times. Until next week, have a Wonder-full day!

  • Balance and other sobering thoughts: Embracing Life's Uneven Pathways
    Jan 19 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever thought about balance in your life and wondered if everything is as steady as it seems? It's a topic that keeps cropping up in conversations, and it makes me ponder about life's little tests, like roadside sobriety checks. Could I pass one of those, sober or not?

    In today's episode, the concept of balance and what it truly means in our daily lives.

    It's like being back on the playground, navigating those seesaws, where sometimes balance means adjusting to different weights and measuring life's scales not with equality but with adaptability.

    We talk about the importance of mobility as we age. Keeping our bodies active is more significant than striving for perfect form. It's about embracing life's shifts, just like dealing with uneven ground.

    Perhaps the takeaway is that balance is elusive because it changes, just like our own lives. And maybe, just maybe, that's okay.

  • Exploring the New Year with a Renaissance Spirit in 2025
    Jan 5 2025

    Send us a text

    In today's episode, we're going on a journey through 2025 with a sprinkle of Renaissance magic. This isn’t just about creating episodes; it's about breathing life into your spark, just like how Michelangelo didn’t just pick a lane but painted, sculpted, and redefined art.

    We talk about embracing who you are right now. Some folks out there think you have to revamp yourself as soon as the new year hits, but to that I say, nah, just polish what you already have! Even if you decide it's a dry January for you or you're gearing up for a fitness challenge, do what's best for you. Your story is what makes you unique, and refining your current self can become a beautiful part of your content.

    Lastly, we share thoughts on the power of community and collaboration. Your voice can be the change-maker. Let's make 2025 the year you start that journey! Until next week, get creative, stay hydrated, and always seek wonder in everything.
