Wendy – Hey, Boomer We all have them Do you ever have One of Those Days? The day just drags, you feel tired, bored, unmotivated. All you really want to do is take a nap. You struggle to think of something else you could be doing or something that you want to be doing? Yesterday […]
Wendy – Hey, Boomer Why Change Feels Hard (and Why It’s Worth It) “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Henry David Thoreau’s words hit like a whisper to the soul. If we’re being honest, many of us know exactly what he meant. The […]
Wendy – Hey, Boomer On September 10, 2001, I lost my job. I had been working as a recruiter and leadership development trainer at a telecom startup in Northern Virginia. The founder and I disagreed on how he was handling interviews and messaging with new hires. By the end of the day, he told me […]
Wendy – Hey, Boomer Are you feeling stressed? Maybe even overwhelmed? Whether it’s the upcoming election with all the negative rhetoric, the destruction from recent storms in the Southeast, or the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, stress is everywhere.

Wendy – Hey, Boomer When was the last time you recognized the beauty within you? Outer beauty is partially under our control and largely influenced by societal definitions.

Wendy – Hey, Boomer When I was a young girl, growing up in Miami, hurricanes were a part of life. We lived on a lake, and we had a dock in the lake and a small sailboat, a Sunfish. As the hurricane watches and warnings went up, the whole family went to work. With the […]
Wendy – Hey, Boomer I agree with Anne Lamott. “I don’t feel old, because your inside self doesn’t age.” Anne Lamott published a story in the Washington Post today titled, It’s not so ‘terribly strange to be 70.’ Turning 70 was an awakening and a reset for me.
