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.
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
E86: Wild Free and Filled With Glee: Why do we squash little girls who dream big ?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From a young age, little girls are told to quiet down, be polite, and stop being “too much.” We trade their sparkle for “appropriate” and their freedom for approval.
In this episode I share my own story of rebelling against those expectations — goth phase, purple phase, pink phase, burlesque stages and all — and the quiet grief so many of us carry when we realize the wild girl we used to be has been buried under years of “shoulds.”
The good news? The Maiden isn’t gone. She’s just waiting for permission to come out and play again.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to bring more joy and silliness back into midlife, this one’s for you.
What’s one way your inner wild girl wants to come out and play right now? Send me a voice note — I read every single one.
