Reinvention Rebels
🔥 Bold Women. Big Dreams. Zero Apologies. 🔥
Hey you — yes, you! The midlife (or better) woman wondering: Is this all there is?
Spoiler alert: It’s not.
You can be the architect of your life.
Welcome to Reinvention Rebels, the podcast where women 50–90+ kick doubt to the curb, chase big dreams, and prove it’s never too late to shake things up.
I’m your host, Wendy Battles — cybersecurity geek by day, midlife reinvention architect by night. It took me 54 years to find my fire, and now I’m here to help you light yours.
Every week, you’ll meet badass women who have become the architects of their life, rewriting the midlife rulebook — running marathons at 72, starting businesses, embracing their silver hair, finding love, or finally doing that thing they’ve always wanted.
Ready to stop waiting and start reinventing?
Your inner Reinvention Rebel is calling. It's time to consciously design the midlife you want to live. Let's go!
