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.

E90: The Tender In-Between: The Complexity of Being an Ambivalently Childless Woman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I talk openly about the messy middle space so many of us live in — not happily childfree, not desperately grieving, but somewhere in between.
I share my own story of never deeply wanting children, making a half-hearted attempt in my late 30s, and then having the door close for good after cancer and a hysterectomy. I explore the relief, the sadness, the guilt, the freedom, and the quiet longing that can all exist at the same time.
If you’re an ambivalently childless woman carrying layers of complicated feelings, this one is for you. You’re not broken, selfish, or alone.
