Has life ever made you feel like you are stuck in the muck? We have all felt this way, and our guest on this podcast episode shares about turning your muck into magic. She shares how to break out of the age cage and change the stories we tell ourselves.
When life knocked Wendi Knox down, hundreds of red dragonflies lifted her up. What she learned from them was so life-changing; she just couldn’t keep it to herself.
Breaking Out Of The Age Cage: Changing The Stories We Tell Ourselves/Ft. Wendi Knox
Wendi Knox is an author, artist, and uplifter. She used to be an award-winning Creative Director at one of the largest advertising agencies in Los Angeles. At 50, Wendi lost her job and found herself stuck in the muck of “Now What?” Then, a life-changing experience with hundreds of red dragonflies gave flight to a new mission: to inspire others that “it’s never too late to soar.”
We learn about the beautiful parts of learning to fly after spending time in the muck, getting to know yourself more, and what brings you joy. Wendi has always had a passion for creativity and art, and although her career was creative, it took a heavy toll being in the advertising business. However, now that she is creating art on her terms, she feels like she is getting younger every day.
Following her passion and joy has been a way of turning the mucky situation into magic. For many of us, our career can feel like a massive part of our identity, and to lose that at 50, especially unexpectedly, can feel like an earth-shattering experience. Still, it can be a way to reignite your spark and passion! Breaking out of the age cage can be a transformative experience. Your help and support may come from the most unexpected places, just like Wendi!
