Now What?
Life doesn’t come with a manual, especially for women navigating midlife and beyond.
Now What? Podcast shares real, unfiltered stories from women who have been there, who have started over, found purpose, reinvented themselves, or simply kept going.
Each episode explores the experiences that shape us: the pivots, the pain, the triumphs, and the unexpected moments that make midlife anything but a crisis.
Every woman’s story holds wisdom, and when we share them, we remind each other that we’re not alone on this journey.
It’s for every woman asking herself, “Now what?”
Now What?
Finding Purpose Through Loss with Olivia King

What if the life you worked so hard to build was actually pulling you further away from yourself?
In this episode, I sit down with Olivia King, a holistic nutritionist and founder of Jade Lotus Nutrition, for a deeply moving conversation about grief, purpose, and the unexpected moments that wake you up to what really matters.
Olivia shares her journey from a 15-year career in accounting to stepping into her true calling after the sudden loss of her mother to pancreatic cancer. What unfolds is a powerful story of identity, cultural expectations, and the quiet realization that external success can never replace internal fulfillment.
We talk about what it looks like to finally listen to yourself after years of ignoring your needs, how grief can become a catalyst for transformation, and the courage it takes to choose a completely different path when life forces you to reevaluate everything.
Olivia opens up about healing not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually, from reconnecting with her body and intuition to breaking generational patterns and redefining what success truly means. This conversation is a reminder that sometimes the hardest moments in life are the ones that guide you back to yourself.
In this episode, we explore:
- What it looks like to walk away from a “successful” career that no longer feels aligned
- How losing a loved one can shift your entire perspective on life and purpose
- The impact of cultural and societal expectations on identity and fulfillment
- Why learning to listen to your body is a critical part of healing
- The connection between emotional health, stress, and physical symptoms
- How to reconnect with your intuition and inner voice
- Breaking generational patterns and choosing a different path forward
- The role of self-love and the journey to believing “I am enough”
- Blending Eastern and Western approaches to health and wellness
- Why true success goes far beyond money, titles, and external validation
