Middle Age Mess

Thriving After Apartheid: Wendy Alexander - Middle Age Mess, Episode 33

Episode Summary

Wendy Alexander has a successful business coaching middle ager's about changing their lives, succeeding in their later years and just generally improving their entire world. So, naturally, we spent about 7 minutes at the end of the video talking about that. The remainder of our conversation was a fascinating trip through Wendy's childhood growing up in segregated South Africa during the Apartheid years. Wendy, who identifies herself as "colored" (i.e., a mixed-race person in South Africa) speaks eloquently about the hardships of being born a "crime" and living there until she left for Australia in her early adulthood. It's a story everyone should hear.
