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.  Check out my website: www.yourmagicalmidlife.comFollow me on Instagram: @yourmagicalmidlife Book your FREE 20 minute coaching curiosity call: https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call

    E81 It's Time To Craft Your Crown

    A wedding, baby shower, graduation, or 21st birthday should never be the last time a woman is surrounded by community, witnessed, and joyfully celebrated. Society throws confetti for the young—but what if we threw just as much (or more) for the women who have actually lived long enough to become magnificent? What if menopause, divorce, the empty nest, retirement, recovery from illness or even widowhood were honored with ceremony and ritual instead of hushed conversations and polite “you’re so brave” comments? These aren’t endings. They’re awakenings. They deserve their own sacred pause, their own circle, their own crown. Craft Your Crown™ is the rite of passage your soul has been quietly craving and I am so thrilled to be presenting it at Quest Santa Fe in juts 2 weeks.  Part grounding meditation, part guided reflection, part intuitive art-making, and part ceremony—this experience is created entirely around you. If this is an experience that your soul is aching for, you can book me to come to your city !

    E80 Robo-Coaches vs Real Talk: Artificial Intelligence And Artificial Affirmation

    Ai is everywhere and quickly taking over.  ChatGPT’s great for quick facts or recipe hacks, but as a replacement for a therapist or life coach? 👀 This week, I did a little experiment. I talked back and forth with Chat about a (completely fabricated) emotional problem. Chat validated me up and down the wazoo, yessed me to pieces, told me I was 100% valid, totally in the right Sure. Chat is always available, free and (annoyingly) perky but Chat is programmed to validate, affirm and agree with you.  Chat is a total people pleaser-keeping you engaged. On the hook. Dependent. Chat just tells you what you want to hear.  Chat will not challenge you.  Chat will not call you on your BS  Chat will not provide an alternate point of view.  Chat can't guide you through life because chat has no LIVED EXPERIENCE.  If you don't actually want to be challenged, if all you're seeking is affirmation, then Chat is for you.  See you in a year. Your life will be exactly the same.  BUT if you want to break old patterns, shift your internal narrative and actually move forward?  Please for the love of God, hire a human.

    E79 The Case Against Therapy

    I've been in the mental health field for over 25 years and I have some bad news: traditional therapy doesn't really help.

    E74 And Now For Something Completely Different

    On Mother's Day I led a healing ceremony for women who had walked the childless or childfree path by chance, choice or somewhere in between. I was really proud of what I managed to offer and blown away by the vulnerability and open hearts of the women who showed up.  This week, I am sharing the mediation that I led-it's for women in peri or post menopause to reconnect them to their creativity, their vitality and their sacred center.  Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife Join the waitlist for Empress Awakened Immersion-we begin June 3rd: https://yourmagicalmidlife.com/empress-awakened Book me to come to you so that YOU can Craft Your Crown: https://yourmagicalmidlife.com/craft-your-crown Book your FREE  20 minute coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call
