    E102 Closure

    In August I traveled North to scatter my father's ashes in the Long Island Sound. It was the complicated closure I didn't even know I needed.  Releasing yourself from the past and isn't about denial or bypassing the hurt, it's about acknowledging it, and letting go of it.

    E101: The Wound IS The Way

    Your Wound Isn’t in the Way — It Is the Way What if the parts of your story you’ve been trying to hide are actually the very things that qualify you?  In this episode I talk about the old belief that our wounds, messy choices, and late-blooming paths disqualify us — and how the opposite is true. Your imperfect life isn’t a liability. It’s the ground you stand on. You get to heal. You get to be happy.  Your wound isn’t in the way. It is the way.

    E100: Still Becoming

    This is episode 100. In this special milestone episode, I look back at the messy, beautiful journey of the past hundred episodes — what I’ve learned about unmasking, midlife loneliness, sacred silliness, and becoming who we were always meant to be. Thank you for walking with me. Here’s to the next hundred episodes of still becoming.

    E99: All Zoomed Out Why We Crave Connecting Face to Face

    After years of screens, Zoom rooms, and AI chatbots, a lot of us are feeling it — that quiet hunger for real, in-person connection. In this episode I talk about the loneliness that can sneak up in midlife (kids launch or never arrived, parents pass, friendships shift) and why gathering in the same room still matters more than ever. I share how retreats, ceremonies, and simple circles like Care and Connection at The Wellness Space remind us that magic still happens when women show up face to face. If you’re craving sisterhood that feels alive — not filtered — this one’s for you.

    E98: The Big Leap The Messy Magic of Becoming Your Own Boss

    Three years ago I walked away from corporate life with big dreams and zero roadmap. In this honest reflection, I share the real, unfiltered story of what it’s actually been like — the loneliness, disorganization, money fears, ambition guilt, and late-bloomer chaos… along with the unexpected magic. From replacing a steady paycheck with therapy clients to slowly building “Your Magical Midlife,” I talk about unmasking as a coach, reclaiming creative joy, stepping into Empress energy, and learning that the mess is part of the medicine. If you’re thinking of making your own leap — or you’re already in the messy middle — this episode is for you.

    E97 From Watched to Witnessed

    From 1970s catcalling being “just how it was,” to the thrill and cost of being seen on burlesque stages and in NYC nightclubs, I spent decades navigating life under the male gaze. In midlife, something shifts. The watching quietly fades — and with it comes a strange mix of grief, relief, and disorientation. In this episode, I explore what it means to move from being watched to being truly witnessed: by other women, by ourselves, and in sacred circles. I share how Craft Your Crown has become a powerful witnessing ritual — a place where we’re seen not for how we look, but for who we’re becoming. If you’ve ever felt invisible, free, or somewhere in between as the gaze changes, this one is for you.

    E96: Finding Beauty in Being Temporary

    Midlife keeps handing us reminders that nothing lasts forever — friends getting sick, peers passing, bodies changing. Instead of spiraling into gloom, this episode explores the playful side of impermanence through Memento Mori, Vanitas, and Wabi-Sabi. We talk about the difference between “decaying” and “growing old,” how our ephemeral lives make the crème brûlée taste sweeter, the snow angels more joyful, and the wild nights more memorable. It’s a tender, cheeky invitation to stop waiting for the perfect life and start loving the temporary, imperfect, ridiculously beautiful one we have right now. Because if everything is fleeting, we might as well make it meaningful — and fun.

About

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.
