If you’re facing a tough life transition, this episode was made for you.About WangariWangari’s passion for working on wellness awareness came from two life-altering events, moments of profound upheaval that nudged her toward the path of healing and self-discovery. The first event was when she found the courage to raise my voice against unequal pay, facing intense backlash and dehumanizing treatment, which left me navigating the vast and intimidating ocean of emotional trauma alone. The second event was the end of my almost 30-year marriage, which left me standing at the precipice of my 50s, tasked with redefining my identity beyond what had always anchored me. From these earth-shattering experiences, I learned to piece together a new version of myself, stronger and more resilient.Connect with WangariYou can connect with Wangari on LinkedIn at Wangari Kamau and follow her on Instagram at allwell50plus.
