E109: The Siren Song of Self Sabotage
Tentang podcast ini
Calling all wildflowers, late bloomers, seekers and dreamers: Your Magical Midlife is for women 40+ who never (quite) fit in.
I'm Kate Higgins, a licensed therapist turned coach. I walk women through the portal of midlife using four archetypes: The Maiden, The Mother, The Empress and The Crone-each phase bringing wounds and wisdom.
This podcast is part confessional, part advice column, and part deep dive interviews with untamed woman living lives of their own creation. If you're tired of midlife content geared towards losing weight and "fixing" yourself, you're in the right place.
When I was struggling through menopause and the reckoning that is aging, the only support available to me was focused on preserving the 35 year old version of me-insisting that I should stay frozen there in that "ideal".
I couldn't find anything geared towards the emotional and spiritual challenges I was facing –let alone anywhere that was CELEBRATING it. So I decided to create it myself from scratch.
Midlife is a Portal, and I'm here to witness and support you as you dance, leap (or even) limp through it. It's okay. I got you.
