#73. Movement, Midlife and finding the courage to Roar your story with Hilary Salzman interviewing Wendy Welpton

For this first conversation episode of 2026 on Make Movement Matter, I handed my host seat to my friend and fellow author Hilary Salzman, and let her ask the questions this time.

What followed was an honest, wide-ranging conversation about writing a book, finding your voice, and what it really looks like to create meaningful work alongside motherhood, midlife changes, and the realities of running a business.

We talk about:

• the shift from corporate life to work that feels deeply personal

• why authenticity can feel so uncomfortable, and is so necessary

• how vulnerability shows up in business (and where boundaries still matter)

• the impact of social media, visibility, and being seen

• the role of self-compassion when growth feels messy

• and why community support is often the quiet force behind big changes

This episode isn’t just about my book, it’s also about what happens when you stop self-editing, trust your message, and allow it to evolve - even when you’re not quite sure where it’s all leading.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to say something meaningful, but wondered whether it’s “enough” or whether now is the right time, this conversation might land closer to home than you expect.
