The Imperfect Prophet: A Podcast for Women Who Wonder
What if the next chapter of your life could be bigger than the one before it?
The Imperfect Prophet: A Podcast for Women Who Wonder is for women navigating midlife and beyond who aren't interested in watching their worlds get smaller.
Each week, Wonder Wendy Farrell tells stories, asks uncomfortable questions and wonders out loud about aging, reinvention, identity, relationships, ambition, failure, possibility—and what happens when we stop worrying about what's next and start wondering about it.
This isn't about chasing youth or checking things off a list before you die. It's about creating a Wonder-Full Bucket List Life—one that keeps expanding because you do.
Aging happens. Getting old is a choice.
Expansion doesn't have an expiration date.
Come wonder with me.
