Confidence + Experience: Your Profit Powerhouse Formula With Wendi O. Brown, Lieutenant Colonel (retired), Bestselling Author Women Leaders On The Move

What if the next season of your life is the one where everything comes together—your experience, your confidence, and your legacy?

I had such a heartfelt conversation with Wendi Brown about her chapter You Are a Profit Powerhouse in Power of What’s NEXT: Bold Moves By Design. Wendi’s words have stayed with me, especially when she said, “Your legacy is your leverage. Use it.” She also shared a reminder that made me pause—“Confidence without experience is a liability.”

What I love about Wendi is how she sees women over 50 as having an incredible advantage. Instead of slowing down, this is the moment to lean into everything you’ve learned and step forward with boldness.

Here are just a few things you’ll take away from our conversation:

✨ How your legacy can be the strongest foundation for your future.

✨ Why confidence and experience together create unstoppable momentum.

✨ The real advantage women have in the second half of their careers.

💡 One action to try: When life feels heavy or uncertain, take Wendi’s advice—give yourself one more day. That one day may be all you need to keep going and see what’s waiting for you next.

This episode feels like a celebration of wisdom and courage and a reminder that your most powerful chapter may still be ahead.
