The Resilience Recipe: Wangari Kamau's Secrets For Bouncing Back

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

Wangari Kamau, the founder of Soma Global Consulting, is no stranger to life's challenges. From standing up against unequal pay to enduring a complicated international divorce after a nearly 30-year marriage, she has weathered many storms. Yet through it all, she found the resilience to not just survive, but thrive.
Her journey led her to develop powerful methods for nurturing mind, body and spirit during life's toughest transitions. Wangari now guides others, especially women over 50, to craft personalized self-care "templates" incorporating techniques like mindfulness, meditation, gentle movement and connecting with supportive communities. She also leads highly sought-after wellness retreats to Kenya where she immerses participants in restorative practices and cultural experiences.

Whether you're navigating divorce, redefining your identity after a major career shift, or simply seeking more balance in life, Wangari's wisdom will help. With compassion and an “I’ve been-there-myself understanding,” she teaches practical ways to emerge from life’s difficulties stronger and more self-assured than ever before.

If you’re facing a tough life transition, this episode was made for you.
About Wangari
Wangari’s passion for working on wellness awareness came from two life-altering events, moments of profound upheaval that nudged her toward the path of healing and self-discovery. The first event was when she found the courage to raise my voice against unequal pay, facing intense backlash and dehumanizing treatment, which left me navigating the vast and intimidating ocean of emotional trauma alone. The second event was the end of my almost 30-year marriage, which left me standing at the precipice of my 50s, tasked with redefining my identity beyond what had always anchored me. From these earth-shattering experiences, I learned to piece together a new version of myself, stronger and more resilient.
