What happens when the world knows more about you than you realize? In this episode of The Second Act Executive, Tawnie Wolf explores one of the biggest questions of our digital age: Who owns your information, and what are we doing to take back control of it? For adults 55 and over who have spent decades building careers, businesses, families, and lives, Tawnie asks whether our experience gives us a responsibility to speak up when we see something that isn’t right... including the growing challenges surrounding privacy, digital information, misinformation, and the ability to distinguish real news from everything else competing for our attention. And because it’s August, there’s also a little back-to-school humor! As the kids get ready to head back to school, Tawnie talks about what summer looked like this year... a little beach, a few museums, not nearly enough amusement parks, a visit from one of her adult children, and a whole lot of work as Wolf Vibrations, LLC continues evolving. Tawnie also shares what’s happening with Gaia Gate Wellness, the signature company of Wolf Vibrations, LLC, including the evolution from the former B Wellness Center into a more hands-on wellness and experience-based company. That includes the launch of Nature Experiences, from curated walks and local experiences to larger adventures, including Williamsburg After Dark and future excursions involving Amtrak and the nation’s capital. But one of the most important conversations in this episode is domestic violence prevention and awareness. Tawnie introduces the Free Her Raffle, running September 1 through September 30, 2026, featuring: • A beautiful Hello Kitty candle holder• An Amethyst statement crystal• An Orange Carnelian statement crystal• Three candles• Tawnie Wolf’s book, Waking Up and Walking Away: A Road Map to Freedom The prize will be shipped during the first week of October.
