Midlife is often a time of shifting friendships. But there is one friendship that it’s all too easy to let slide at this pivotal time. It’s a friendship we just don’t focus on enough – and one it’s vital we nurture. The one with ourself.

So join your Host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her Guest Zeenat Ahmed-Peto, multi-award winning Holistic Cognitive Hypnotherapist and best-selling author of Too Kind – The Survival Guide for Sensitive Souls,  as they talk about How to Become your own Best Friend as a Midlife Woman.

We can spend so much time worrying about what others think of us, trying to win their approval, that we sacrifice our own self-worth and lose sight of who we really are. Right now.

In this episode, Zeenat explains how her journey of bereavement, burnout and marriage breakdown empowered her to turn what she perceived as her weakness of being too sensitive into her superpower.

Zeenat and Kate share inspiration on how they learned to love themselves in their gloriously perfect imperfection. And they discuss Zeenat’s insights for how to become your own best friend – from embracing your natural gifts, to dating yourself.

As Midlife women there are a complex range of changes  we go through that can leave us losing sight of who we are – questioning our identity. Add into this a Midlife neurodivergent discovery, and this can bring yet another overwhelming layer to knowing and loving who we are at this pivotal time of our life.

So join your Host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her Guest Neurodivergent Business and Family Coach Talia Zamora as they talk about How to Embrace your Neurodivergent Identity as a Midlife Woman.

For the record, neither Talia nor Kate are medically trained. And Midlife Unlimited® is not a medical podcast.

Midlife Unlimited® is a podcast for real women to share their real stories with Kate – and you the listener. 

And Talia is doing just that. 

Nothing is off limits in their open and honest conversation, as they discuss the confusion and questions of identity that can arise, overlapping with the changes that menopause itself brings from brain fog to anxiety. 

From imposter syndrome, masking and Midlife Crises to self-acceptance and self-compassion, Talia shares insights from her journey and the top lessons she’s learned for becoming self-aware - with listening to yourself being right up there.

As Midlife women it can feel like every relationship in our life is changing and shifting. And loss – and the inevitable grief it brings – plays a huge part in how we show up for ourselves and tell our story.

So join your Host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her Guest Carolyn Cowperthwaite of CC Coaching UK Ltd as they talk about How to Find Joy in Loss as a Midlife Woman – both personally and in business.

The grief journey is one many of us have been through or are facing, and this powerful episode lifts the lid on this often taboo and difficult and painful topic. 

Carolyn shares insights from her first-hand experience of grief – from personal tragedy to working on the COVID NHS frontline – and gives heartfelt and honest advice on how to make the person you have lost a positive part of you… to find those snowdrops. 

And Carolyn explains how she now applies these same life lessons in the workplace, using wellness to help each team member find their voice and breed a culture of empathy to unlock our full potential.

This episode is dedicated to those we have loved and lost, and those we love now.

To celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th and its theme #accelerateaction, host Kate Porter is delighted to be joined by her friend Business Growth Mentor and Women Winning in Business Champion Andrea Rainsford to talk about How to Stop Existing and Start Living. 

As Midlife women we are often so used to putting ourselves on the back burner that taking those steps to come out of the shadows and shine in our brilliance can seem totally overwhelming. The result? We choose to stay languishing in our not-so-comfortable comfort zone rather than risk the fear of judgement, comparisonitis and fear of both failure and success that go hand in hand with taking that action we crave to turn our dreams into reality.

To be blunt, we are holding ourselves back.

Kate and Andrea are all about taking action in a way that aligns with us – with our values.

And Andrea has created a beautiful community to help and nurture women to do just that, giving them the love and support to grow together while uplifting and celebrating each other. 

There’s no sugar-coating in this episode, as Kate and Andrea tell it like it really is. 

The pair are advocates of the power of having these conversations. Of talking about how we really feel about ourselves and our business. Kate and Andrea are ripping of that I'm fine mask by covering topics from flakiness to being feminine and fierce, and Andrea shares her top tips for taking action as a Midlife woman on our terms.

After leaving the corporate world due to unforeseen challenges, Andrea had to rebuild not just her career, but her entire approach to business and life. Andrea shows incredibly openness and honesty sharing her story of how she faced two choices – to be victim or victor.

The reluctant leader turned her passion for connection, collaboration, and growth into her own business, dedicated to helping women thrive through affinity, support, and shared success.

Change can seem the only constant in Midlife, causing us to feel we’re losing our power. That life is just happening and we have no control over our destination.

As a result, we can lose sight of the woman we really are at the heart of all this change.

For the Midlife mums among us, it can seem like we’re constantly assessing and reassessing our role as a mother. From the teenage years, to empty nesting, then them finding a partner, it can feel we’re sliding further and further down the scale of importance in our children's’ lives.

And then, if we’re lucky, yet another thing changes. Grandchildren.

So join your host Kate Porter, The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach®, and her guest Suzanne Knowlson of Positive Mind Life Coaching as they talk about How to Evolve from Mum to Mum and Grandma.

Grandma-of-four Suzanne shares stories and insights from her own experiences taking on the role of grandparent. And she and Kate explore the potential minefield of boundaries that being a grandmother can necessitate us navigating. 

From embracing our childlike curiosity and creating magical memories to getting to know the “new” you on your terms, this episode is full of heart-felt and heart-warming golden nuggets that make perfect Me Time listening.

Style in Midlife is a potential minefield. As Midlife women we can feel under so much pressure to keep up with trends, while at the same time avoiding the whole “mutton dressed as lamb” dilemma and our Inner Critic uttering an eye-rolling “You can’t wear that!” 

But we still want to feel stylish, confident, glamorous – sexy even. For ourselves. In way that feels right to us – because Midlife style is not about pleasing anyone else.

So join Kate Porter and her guest Midlife style expert and sustainability ambassador Alex Standley  as they smash style stereotypes about “age-appropriate” dressing and bust myths like over 50s can’t wear sequins talking about How to wear what you love, and love what you wear as a Midlife woman so that you feel fabulous inside and out.

From their style icons and the impact of the rise over-50s influencers, to disrupting the Midlife style narrative of playing it safe with our style choices once we hit 50, tune in for insights and inspiration for how to avoid fading into the background by discovering your signature style and letting it speak for you.

The leopard-print loving pair also talk about their passion for preloved, and Alex shares her top tips for sourcing sustainable items to enhance your style and curate your wardrobe.

As Midlife mums, navigating the teenage years can be a potential minefield of change and all the emotions that this encompasses. We can feel like we’re losing control as our whole routine as we know undergoes upheaval.

It’s a real struggle not to lose sight of who you are both as a Mum and as you - the woman - at this pivotal time in our lives.

And all the while there’s that looming countdown to the whole Empty Nesting journey… and listen out for a forthcoming episode focusing on that.

So Kate is delighted to be joined by Jo Brianti for Episode #013 to take an open and honest look at how to stretch the elastic with our teens. As a Mum of twin teenage boys, Jo shares her experiences and insights of beginning to let go – and at the same time discovering the joys of being able to take back our time as our offspring explore their growing independence. 

From heartwarming tales of first parent-free school trips, to practical tips and advice for nurturing their independence, Jo shares with Kate her three lessons learned during these transformative years with her double trouble. 

And, as Mum to a now 23-year-old, Kate reminisces with Jo about the importance of embracing rather than resisting change and exploring empowering choices at this evolving time in both our kids’ and our lives.
