Welcome back! Today we have a loaded episode with Kathy Batista as we consider that there are opportunities to create magic all around us and that maybe, just maybe... it isn’t actually a mid-life crisis.

Kathy Batista is the go-to coach for midlife women. She believes midlife isn't just based on age but that it's a phase of life, and that it can be your best one yet. By tapping into your values and skills, you can take aligned action to create purpose and joy, leading to that often missing sense of fulfillment. Guys It’s time for some mid-life MAGIC, and we are just a perspective shift away from creating the life we’ve always wanted.

In this episode…

• Unhealthy & healthy coping mechanisms 
• Sense of community
• Fighting that sense of control
• Getting out of your own way
• Leaning into the unknown 
• Envy 
• Mood, mindfulness, & mindset

Quotes:

“We now need to work with that gut instinct and approach people that we instinctively have a feeling of safety around.” - Kathy Batista 

“I have gotten to the point where I don't even care what the why is anymore. I'm just ready for a change, a whole change. I'm ready to do it and I think it takes a lot of courage for people to get there.” - Nikki Spo 

“I realized that my envy was a tool in revealing to myself where my alignment might be.” - Nikki Spo 

“Envy is recognizing the oneness in other people. We are all one.” Kathy Batista
