In her vibrant retirement, she continues to teach, has authored two children’s books, and most recently released her deeply personal memoir, Finding Wendy: A Memoir of Music, Weight, Wit, and One Wild Life.

With honesty, heart, and a touch of humour, Wendy explores the real-life challenges, triumphs, and transformations that shape who we are.
