Are bacon cheeseburgers the new sex? Honestly, if a bacon cheeseburger could replace such an intimate experience, I need to know where you’re grabbing your takeout!

On The Imperfect Prophet, we're shaking things up and diving deep into life after menopause and why your love for life and maybe even sex shouldn't fizzle out.

We dive into the idea of substituting pleasures, such as wondering how laughter and dancing can fill the gaps that some might think a bacon cheeseburger fills. Laughter is such a powerful connector I mean, who doesn't appreciate a good snort-laugh fest with old friends that leaves your cheeks hurting? And there’s dancing too; it’s not just a young person’s game. Whether at a high school reunion or a spontaneous dance in your living room to the tunes of your youth, it can be pure joy and exertion.

Hold on bucketlisters to these joys and satisfaction, and you won’t need any mere burger substitute to get through life!

Hey there! Ever wonder if it's okay to just hit pause on life and curl up in a cozy blanket fort where the only person you have to talk to is you? You're not alone! Today, let's chat about the magic of those "blanket fort" days when solitude feels like a warm hug.

In today's episode, on “The Imperfect Prophet”, Wonder Wendy focus on how taking time for yourself isn't just a luxury; it's essential.

We dive into the importance of giving yourself permission to check out of the chaos and check in with yourself. First up, there's the reality that both highs and lows make up the roller coaster of life. It’s okay to take a break and recharge those emotional batteries. Lastly, we talk about understanding your personal needs, whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or like me, an ambivert. Ain't no shame in needing time alone to reset.

On today’s episode of The Imperfect Prophet, Wonder Wendy shares thoughts on why embracing new technology is crucial instead of shying away from it.

So join me Wonder Wendy as we discuss the importance of continuous learning and giving yourself a break. It's perfectly fine to ask for help, especially when setting up complex tech like It's all part of the process, just like how we used to ask a teenager to set the VCR clock.
