    #315: The Fourth Circle of Ikigai That Reveals Where the World Needs You in Midlife Transitions

    Have you been told that finding your purpose means solving some big, world-changing problem, and quietly decided it must not be for you?

    #314: How to Work With the Inner Critic That Keeps You Stuck in a Career or Life Transition

    Have you been waiting for a dramatic sign before you let yourself admit something needs to change? For most women, the moment that begins a career transition does not arrive as a crisis. It builds quietly, over months or years, in the form of a question you cannot stop turning over, a Monday morning that feels heavier than it should, or a quiet dissatisfaction you keep explaining away as tiredness. This episode continues Kavita's My Story series and picks up in the morning everything cracked open, the gremlins that kept her stuck for two more years, and the real turning point that came later, the one almost no one talks about. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the moment that begins a career and life transition is usually quiet, and how to recognize your own version of it before it grows too loud to ignoreWhat your inner critics are actually trying to do for you in a midlife transition, and how to work with them instead of waiting for them to go silentWhy the people closest to you may understand your transition the least, and what that means for the choice in front of youPress play to hear the story of the turning point that changes everything, and to find the honest question waiting for you this week.

    #313: The Hidden Strengths That Can Reshape Your Midlife Career and Life Transitions

    What if the greatest strength you have is one you can no longer see, or one you set down years ago? In this Thursday companion to Monday's conversation with Deborah Knight (episode 312), Kavita continues the My Story series with a closer look at the first circle of ikigai: your strengths. The ones that can change your whole next chapter are often the ones you would never put on a resume. Some have gone invisible because they come so easily to you. Others have simply gone quiet, waiting for you to pick them back up. In midlife career and life transitions, learning to see and use these strengths again is what shifts your energy and opens unexpected doors. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the strengths most central to your ikigai are usually the ones you have stopped noticing in yourselfHow anabolic energy, the expansive energy you feel when you use a true strength, begins to draw opportunities and people toward youA simple practice this week to surface a forgotten strength and put it back into use on purposePress play to reconnect with the gifts that have been with you all along and see what begins to open up when you let yourself use them again.

    #312: How to Reinvent Yourself After 50 When Everything You Built Falls Apart, with Deborah Knight

    Have you ever wondered if it is too late to start over after the ground has shifted beneath you?

My guest, Deborah Knight, has lived through layoffs, single motherhood at 42, marriage to a partner battling addiction, the loss of her home, and a cancer diagnosis that launched her into surgical menopause.

In this episode, you'll discover: Why a life quake is so often not the end of your story, but the beginning of the most honest version of it, and how to find the possibility hiding in the in-betweenHow to let the colorful, fully expressed version of yourself back into the room after years of staying "beige" to fit in, stay safe, or meet everyone else's expectationsWhy you are never starting from scratch in a midlife career and life transition, and how every skill, every hard-won lesson, and every quiet strength becomes the ground you get to rebuild onPress play to hear a conversation that will remind you that you are not too old, you have not missed your window, and the most honest chapter of your life may still be ahead of you. Have a question about your own journey? Ask Me Anything! Send it to me for a future episode: Kavita@itsmytimenowcoaching.com If Deborah's story is sitting close to home and you are ready to stop circling and start moving, book a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita for one real conversation about where you are and where you are meant to go, or take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz to see what is quietly holding you back from your next chapter.

    #310: The Playbook You Did Not Know You Were Following in Your Career and Life Transition

From the inside, something has started to whisper a question you have been dismissing as exhaustion or burnout or just a hard week.

    #309: The Values That Built You May Not Be the Ones Leading You Forward in a Midlife Career or Life Transition

    Have you ever looked at the life you've built and quietly wondered why it no longer feels like yours, even though nothing on the outside looks wrong? Every career and life transition is, underneath everything, a conversation with your values. The values that carried you through your earlier chapters are not always the same ones calling you forward into who you are becoming, and learning to tell the difference is some of the most important work of midlife. In this Thursday mini, a companion to Monday's episode 308, Kavita picks up one thread from her own story and follows it further: what happens when a new value starts knocking on the door, and what it means for your ikigai when you let yourself answer. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the values that built your earlier chapters can quietly go out of alignment during a midlife career transition, and how to notice when it's happeningHow your ikigai shifts as your strengths, passions, values, and what the world needs from you all evolve through every season of lifeA simple values exercise to help you name what is still leading you forward and what you have outgrown with love and respectPress play to begin the quiet, honest conversation with your values that every meaningful life transition is asking you to have. If you're sensing that your values are shifting and you're ready to explore what your next chapter wants to look like, schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita or take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz to see where your career and life are most asking for your attention right now. _________________________ Schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita Take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz - find out what's holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.
