    How to Meet Yourself Again as a Midlife Woman with Guest Jayne Clayton

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text I'm often asked why I use the word metamorphosis over transformation? And it's simple. Because in both my own experience and that of the fabulous females I coach, everything we need to fall in love with ourselves is already inside us. It's just  a matter of waking it up. Taking stock, as we stand on the threshold of our next era. Not yearning to go backwards when we're feeling stuck between "Is this it...?" and "What's next...?". But realigning ourselves with who we are right now. And giving ourselves permission to let go of what's no longer serving us, and the woman we've outgrown. To make room for what does bring us joy. And my Episode 109 guest Jayne Clayton, founder of Menopause Well, feels the same. Jayne shares how discovering new focus while navigating grief led her to come to understand and know herself for the first time.  And now living like me joyously alcohol-free, Jayne reveals how she realised that the answer to the questions she was asking herself lay not in a bottle of wine, but in the power of self-care and carving time to nurture herself - which is now at the core of her mission to help Midlife women. .  You can also read our full conversation in the transcript.

    How to Upcycle Your Future as a Midlife Woman with Guest Jane Pangbourne

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text Is something not sitting right with you? At work? At home? In the social circle you've found yourself in?  And if it's no longer aligning with your beliefs, do you really want to take it with you into your next chapter? We talk a lot about pivoting here on Midlife Unlimited, but my guest founder, author and campaigner Jane Pangbourne is embracing a new word for how she is shaking things up and celebrating change as she nears her diamond decade - upcycling! Jane explains why she has stepped back from the menopause world, after years helping women navigate this potential minefield - with support including her Menopause not Mad movement and best-selling book I Choose Menopause. And she reveals how she is now choosing to find joy by stripping away all the noise to discover what she really wants going forward - and the myriad of new adventures this is creating.

    How to Keep Your Passion Alive as a Midlife Woman with Guest Liz Devonshire

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text What's your thing? The thing you used to love doing, but life has got in the way of late and you've put your thing on the back-burner, consigned to the "not today, I've not got time" pile? If this sounds familiar, join me and my guest Brand Photography Strategist Liz Devonshire as we explore How to Keep Your Passion Alive as a Midlife woman. Liz shares how her love affair with photography began in her teens, and how she has kept the spark alive - both at work and play - over the decades, so that today it remains both her business and her number one creative outlet. And, with many of us adjusting to empty nests, we share our insights and inspiration for how now is a great time to resurrect long-forgotten or overlooked interests that can start bringing us joy at this pivotal time.

    How to Survive the AI Age as a Midlifer with Guest Jez Kay

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text How do you feel about AI? Is it becoming an essential part of your Midlife? Or are you steering clear, heeding headlines that humanity's days are numbered, as industry bosses warn we need to slow AI down or face extinction? It's scary stuff. And whatever stance you take, it seems AI is here to stay. So how can we strike a balance between taking a Luddite stance, and risking losing our identity as we give AI creative reign over our lives. I like to shake things up on Midlife Unlimited®, so I’m delighted to be joined by my SECOND every male guest, author and Founder of My True Talent Jez Kay, to explore How to Survive the AI Age as a Midlifer. Join us as we delve into what it means to be human, what lies at the core of our identity and the lure of alter-egos, and the joy of paradox.  And don't miss our insights and inspiration for how to invite AI into our lives as a co-pilot while still maintaining authorship of our future.

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text It can feel like a struggle some days to find something to smile about, let alone have a good old meno-belly laugh.

    How to Understand your Hormones so you Understand Your Body as a Midlife woman with Guest Charlotte Body

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text Menopause. It's a fact, and we can't change that. But one thing I'm all for is making sure the facts we get surrounding menopause are just that - facts. There's a potential minefield of misinformation out there, with companies jumping on the menopause bandwagon claiming you need their products, with no science to back this. There's even a term for it, meno-washing! So if you're confused, bemused and heading into overwhelm, then this episode is for you. Because I'm delighted to be joined by my guest Charlotte Body, founder of The Health Assembly - home of hormones and longevity, to talk about How to understand your hormones so you understand your health.

    How to Get a Good Night's Sleep as a Midlife Woman with Guest Sonia Jenkins

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text Are you getting enough? Could you always do with more? Sleep! Arguably Midlife’s most precious commodity – and a hot topic with a myriad of information, advice and suggestions infiltrating our socials… to the point that it’s tough to sort what will actually work for us from the latest marketing fad. So if you’re fed up with tossing and turning, but exhausted trying to find a solution, then Midlife Unlimited® Episode 103 is just for you. Because I’m delighted to be joined by my guest Sonia Jenkins, Midlife health coach and author of The Invisible Midlife Woman, to talk about How to get a good night’s sleep. We explore why sleep seems more important – and all-to-often illusive – than ever in Midlife,  and Sonia brings her 40plus years’ experience in the NHS and as a nurse practitioner to debunk some of the misinformation we’re being fed. Sonia and I share insights and inspiration for how to assess and rethink our sleep hygiene routine. But our conversation goes much deeper than cutting back on caffeine and ditching the doom scrolling.  Don’t miss Sonia’s two powerful and practical experiments that will help you start getting to the root of the why you are not getting a good night’s sleep – and the steps you can take to turn this around.  Connect with Sonia https://www.instagram.com/sonia.jenkins.fmchc https://www.linkedin.com/in/soniajenkinsfmchc https://linktr.ee/sonia.jenkins   https://www.soniajenkinsmethod.com  tiktok.com/@sonias.wellbeing www.youtube.com/@Sonia-FHC-Skills-not-Pills Support the show I'd love to hear from you - because Midlife Unlimited® is all about YOU!  https://buymeacoffee.com/kateporter Support the show  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417699/support  https://www.facebook.com/groups/4035518246684901 https://midlifeunlimitedpodcast.buzzsprout.com for details of my award-winning 1-2-1 and MORE! group coaching program for Midlife women  Connect with me  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateporterofficial/ https://www.facebook.com/skateporter https://www.instagram.com/kate_porter_official/ https://www.youtube.com/@MidlifeUnlimited Here's to to living Midlife Unlimited® b19c0276942dde98656f2638f9c7148efbf54ad9

    How to Make Connections that Count as a Midlife Woman with Guest Jen Corcoran

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text If you’d told me 10 years ago that I’d be sitting here at 57 with a band of fabulous cheerleaders, and nurturing wonderful new friendships, I’d have laughed in your face… Because I was lonely.  Friendships had drifted… Circumstances had shifted. And I didn’t have the confidence, or the motivation, to start forging new connections, whether for business or pleasure. But it is possible… I’m proof. And it’s a timely topic to explore as we kick-start September. So I’m delighted to be joined for Midlife Unlimited Episode 102 by LinkedIn Strategist and trainer Jen Corcoran to talk about How to make Connections that Count as a Midlife woman. Joining the dots can be scary, especially when a myriad of Midlife changes can be making us feel vulnerable. From that wedding where you know no-one, to joining a new dance class, via the potentially overwhelming new networking event, Jen and I explore why temptation to choose JOMO over FOMO can cause us to miss out on marvellous opportunities to turn chance meetings into meaningful relationships. We explore why quality over quantity is the way to go when forging Midlife friends. Jen shares inspiration and anecdotes for her experiences as both an introvert and a super connector, and don’t miss our proven practical advice that you can use to start meeting people that light you up – whether at work or play. And – it would be rude not to ask her – Jen walks us through how we can ensure our LinkedIn headline is a powerful tool for attracting connections that count.
