About this episode
Wendy Baker shares her transformative journey from a runaway teenager to an empowered mother and author.
Wendy Baker - Mother, Author, Entrepreneur Wendy Baker's life is a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of storytelling. As a 14-year-old runaway, Wendy's search for love and belonging led her into the heart of The Source Family, a notorious hippie cult in Los Angeles founded by Jim Baker in the 70s. Her journey within the commune, where she spent five transformative years, was marked by both profound experiences and deep challenges. At 19, Wendy made the brave decision to escape, emerging as a single mother determined to rewrite her story. Today, she channels her passion into helping women, particularly teenage mothers, find their voice and share their stories. Through her work as an author and entrepreneur, Wendy is dedicated to empowering others to overcome adversity and embrace their own narratives with strength and authenticity. uncommonwomen.net wendybakerauthor.com
