What if everything you've been told about aging as a woman is wrong? In this rich and candid conversation, host Karen Spece sits down with Carla Waywright — holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and midlife alchemist — to explore why midlife isn't the beginning of decline, but quite possibly the most powerful transformation of a woman's life.

Midlife, Menopause & Sexual Awakening with Carla Wainwright

The entrepreneurship media is obsessed with youth, venture capital, and scale-at-all-costs. But women over 45 are one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial demographics and their stories are nearly invisible.

Second Wind Women documents a different kind of founder story: the woman who spent decades building institutional authority, then walked away to build something that actually belongs to her.

These women aren't starting from zero. They're translating boardroom strategy into business ownership, corporate networks into customer bases, and hard-won executive instincts into ventures that are more sustainable and more spiritual than anything they built for someone else.

Many of them are doing something the startup world would never take seriously: energy work, healing arts, witchy and creative businesses. And these businesses are quietly thriving because they're built by women who have spent the majority of their lives trying to brick over their unconventional skill set.

Corporate experience isn't something to overcome. It's the competitive advantage nobody talks about that can be a pragmatic base for a more fantastical business.
