EP 45 Transforming Muck into Magic as We Age

EP 45 Transforming Muck into Magic as We Age

Our Guest, Wendi Knox, 70, shares her transformative journey of navigating ageism and reinventing herself after the age of 50.

An accomplished author, artist, and uplifter, Wendi has been empowering women to embrace aging as an opportunity to become more of who they are, not less of what they were.

Following an unexpected job loss in her 50s, Wendi experienced a miraculous encounter with red dragonflies that sparked a new purpose and inspired her to create a paradigm for transformation as we age.

From her journey of creating art for heart's sake to becoming a dragonfly whisperer and an advocate for shedding internalized ageism, Wendi opens up about how she helps others reconnect with their creativity and joy.

Tune in to hear her valuable insights on thriving in this exciting stage of life and discovering the magic in the muck through self-love and acceptance.

Get ready to be inspired and to break free from the age cage!

Wendi Knox Profile Photo

Wendi Knox

Author. Artist. Uplifter.

Wendi Knox is an author, artist and uplifter.

In her past life, she was the only female Senior Vice-President/ Creative Director at one of the largest advertising agencies in Los Angeles, creating and supervising multimedia ad campaigns for brands like Honda and Acura.

At 50, she lost her “Don Draper-esque” job and found a new purpose thanks to a miraculous encounter with hundreds of red dragonflies.

Now, this award-winning brand storyteller is helping women change the stories they tell themselves. Especially about age.

Through her “Breaking Out of the Age Cage” illustrated talk and transformational workshops, Wendi’s on a mission to “rebrand aging” as a process of becoming More of Who We Are. Not Less of What We Were.”

Like the dragonfly, she has grown new wings later in life, having her first book, “From Muck To Magic” published and her first solo art show at 65.

Now at 70, she’s working on her second book, “The Way of The Dragonfly: A Process For Transforming Muck Into Magic As We Age.”
