Growing up, it was like, that's all I heard my mom talk about, like, oh, once you hit your 40s or your 50s, it's kind of like nothing's left for you. You don't feel good. Like, you don't feel good in your body. Like, there's just so many things that are happening. And I've been having this conversation with a lot of my girlfriends that were like, maybe our moms like weren't crazy. Yeah, right. Oh, my God. That's a harsh reality. Maybe they weren't getting the support that they needed and they didn't know how to support themselves to eat and do the things that we're going to

chat about.

Mindy, welcome back to the Earn Your Happy podcast. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for having me back.

Oh my gosh. I really loved our first conversation.

So.

I loved it.

No, I literally was just like, when can we get Wendy back? Oh, she has a book? Yes. It was like the perfect time to have her back. Yeah, it's the only time I come out of hiding. Yeah. But you have such a beautiful way of giving science, giving information, but also I think because you are probably also your

own student, like practically in the world that I really love talking to you because you also

just, you combine the actual human. And that is why I love having you on this podcast is because

yes, I love talking about business.

I'm obsessed with talking about building something big and, you know, going after your dreams.

But none of that, none of that even works at all, especially for women.

It's, I'm like 95% women on this podcast.

We know none of that works if you don't take care of yourself and you don't figure out how to feel good, how to eat well. And I don't know about you, but this for me has,

you know, I'm an 80s baby, like 1980. I was not taught how to eat. Nope. I learned the opposite of

how to eat well to like feel my brain and my dreams and all the energy and relationships

and all the things. So I love that you are now bringing this conversation into a whole different

realm. Yep. So first was Fast Like a Girl with your first book, which sold 1.3 million copies.

Yeah. I'm like, can you even wrap your brain away? No, I can't. In fact, it still freaks me

out when I go out in public and people recognize me. Like, I still, my brain's like, how do you know me? And then I start to think, oh, yeah, 1.3 million people read this book. Like how many stadiums is that? That's what my husband always says. He's like, think about how many stadiums that filled. but that's still hard to quite wrap your head with it. It's like all the NFL team stadiums, I think filled all at once.

All together. and obviously says he's like think about how many stadiums that filled but that's still hard to quite wrap your head right it's like all the NFL team stadiums I think filled all it all together

reading your book like opening your book and reading it wow thank you for that visual really
