Your Magical Midlife
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.
I'm on pause for the summer, but will be releasing new episodes in September 2025. In the meantime, check out my 77 available episodes on everything from sex after menopause, finding yourself again after loss and leaning into your intuition.
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.

Your Magical Midlife
E80 Robo-Coaches vs Real Talk: Artificial Intelligence And Artificial Affirmation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ai is everywhere and quickly taking over.
ChatGPT’s great for quick facts or recipe hacks, but as a replacement for a therapist or life coach? 👀
This week, I did a little experiment. I talked back and forth with Chat about a (completely fabricated) emotional problem.
Chat validated me up and down the wazoo, yessed me to pieces, told me I was 100% valid, totally in the right
Sure. Chat is always available, free and (annoyingly) perky but Chat is programmed to validate, affirm and agree with you.
Chat is a total people pleaser-keeping you engaged. On the hook. Dependent.
Chat just tells you what you want to hear.
Chat will not challenge you.
Chat will not call you on your BS
Chat will not provide an alternate point of view.
Chat can't guide you through life because chat has no LIVED EXPERIENCE.
If you don't actually want to be challenged, if all you're seeking is affirmation, then Chat is for you.
See you in a year. Your life will be exactly the same.
BUT if you want to break old patterns, shift your internal narrative and actually move forward?
Please for the love of God, hire a human.
