Hats… how many do you wear?

And just when we’re getting used to wearing a certain hat, all too often something beyond our control kicks in, and it all changes.

The result can be that we find ourselves questioning these roles we’ve been juggling. We’re forced to reassess who we actually are.

If this resonates, then this episode is for you. I’m delighted to be joined by my Episode 57 guest Claire Best, marketing strategist and owner of Claire Best Marketing, to talk about How to Recognise Your Resilience.

In this beautifully open and honest episode, I’m honoured that Claire shares with me her story of how becoming a widow in her 40s meant she had to reassess her identity while navigating both her and her young son’s grief journey. 

And in our insightful and inspiring conversation, Claire shares the lessons she has learned along the way – including practical advice for how to keep on during even the darkest hours and days.

How often have you had an idea… a potentially great idea – then quickly talked yourself out of why it’s doable? You stop yourself taking the next step. You've limited your vision.

If you’ve been wanting to organise an event for like-minded women, then this episode is just for you because I’m delighted to be joined by my guest Andrea Clare The Creative Pause Coach, founder of Andrea Clare Art and Founder of The Scottish Pause Summit to talk about How to Organise a Menopause Summit.

Andrea shares insights and inspiration as she talks through how she turned her vision into reality, from celebrating cheerleaders to getting over the overwhelm. And find out how you can get involved for 2026.

Does the thought of writing a will scare you? Do you see it as a reminder of your mortality? Something that you’ll get round to… one day? Or are you super organised and have a will in place… but it actually doesn’t reflect your recently changed circumstances?

Let’s face it.. we won’t be around when our will comes into play. So it’s vital we take action now to make sure our wishes are fulfilled.

I’m calling in the expert and am delighted to be joined for Episode 055 by my guest Nellie McQuinn, founder and CEO at Away Wills, to talk about How to make sure your Will Reflects Your Wants as a Midlife Woman.

As Nellie reminds us, adulting isn’t just paying bills. And she’s on a mission to make wills sexy by helping us get our head around the process of getting our will sorted so that we can get on with living our life to the max.

Far from making light of death, Nellie and I delve into the heart-felt reasons behind her passion to celebrate every precious moment of life – and to help us ensure our will isn’t the last thing we regret. 

And don’t miss Nellie’s top tips for how to make the will-writing process work best for us so that our lasting legacy for loved ones is the one we wish for.

Standing in the supermarket queue the other day I seemed to be surrounded by people complaining about noise – from neighbours building work to rowdy youngsters! Has the weather fallen from favour?

But there’s another type of noise that we just don’t talk about enough. The noise that threatens to overwhelm us… the noise of constant STUFF! Demands… pressures… Arghhhh! It can feel like we are being taken over, so that we can lose sight of who we are and what we actually want.

And, in my experience, at no time is this more evident that Midlife. So if you’re ready to find clarity in all this confusion, then join me and my guest Kim Brockway, Pagan wisdom keeper and founder of the Wise Woman’s Breathwork Temple, as we talk about How to Cut Through the Noise as a Midlife Woman.

With the Christmas countdown looming, and party season too, are you dreading spending your first Yuletide alone in a long time?

If you are worrying about being single this festive season, but the thought of joining the Midlife dating scene is scaring the big girl pants off you, then this is the episode for you.

I’m delighted to be joined by my guest Eimear Draper, dating coach, founder of Kindling Dating and Platinum Magazine’s dating expert to talk about How to Date Again as a Midlife Woman.

Both Eimear and I met our partners via online dating, and I loved her energy when we met IRL through previous Midlife Unlimited® guest Amanda FitzGerald. So Eimear was the obvious choice of dating coach to join me for this rather timely episode.

There’s no sugar coating, as Eimear and I strip back stereotypes, bust those myths and get to the warts-and-all reality of dating again at this pivotal time of life.

From equating online dating to lead generation, via how to have the dating conversation with your kids and friends, to explaining how rejection is merely part of the dating process, Eimear shares her insights and expertise as we discuss how to avoid overwhelm when exploring the world of dating as a Midlife woman.

And don’t miss Eimear’s top tips for how to take those first steps towards getting that first date.

How often do you hold yourself back from sharing what’s really on your mind? Worried about saying the wrong thing? Or that what you say will be taken the wrong way? Even that no one will be interested in what you have to say?

I don’t just mean taking to the stage.. launching a podcast… or putting your tuppence worth forward in meetings.

I mean in day-to-day conversations too. From family gatherings, to long-postponed phonecalls.

If you’re tired of feeling overlooked and taking a back seat, and want to find your voice, then this episode is for you. 

Take some vital Me Time and join me your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and my guest Coach and Voice Expert and founder of Vocal Intuition Be Truly Heard and the podcast of the same name Anne Leatherland as we talk about How to be Heard as a Midlife Woman. 

We discuss how so often us women over 50 feel overlooked and unheard. And that this feeling of fading into the background is not helped by the fact our actual voice is impacted by hormonal changes.

Anne shares her midlife metamorphosis story of how she broke free from being defined by her singing voice and now shares her insights and experience to help others overcome low self-esteem and build self-belief so that they can speak with impact, warmth and authenticity.

And tune in for Anne’s top tips and exercises for being and feeling heard in Midlife and beyond.

We talk a lot about change on Midlife Unlimited®. And changing career in Midlife is something that so many of us face. For a myriad of reasons… relocation, redundancy, relationships… our health even. All can impact our choices.

Add in longer lifespans and increasing State Pension ages in the UK, and this pivotal time in our lives is also a great time to take stock of what we actually want from our career – now and moving forward. And for us to start listening to those dreams that are whispering to us. 

If this resonates, take some vital Me Time and join me your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and my guest Actor and Clarity Coach Caroline Nield as we talk about How to Reignite Your Career After 40.

With second and third careers becoming increasingly common - and one third of women aged 45-54 likely to change career path before they retire - Caroline and I discuss how to avoid feeling overwhelmed and share insights and advice on shifting career in a way that works for you from our own metamorphosis journeys.

Caroline reveals how she has reawakened her acting dreams in Midlife, and shares her five steps to finding clarity and confidence when reimagining our careers.

Fake it ‘til you make it…. sounds great in theory. But putting it into practice can leave us feeling icky. Overwhelmed. And it can raise up even more self-doubt and fear of judgement. Feeling like we are not enough. And those “can’ts” keep on coming, as we make even more excuses to ourselves.

But there is a way to unleash the woman we deserve to be that aligns with our values - the true us – and reflects our self-worth.

If this resonates, take some vital Me Time and join your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest women’s confidence coach Nina de Sausmarez as they talk about How to Practice Living Midlife Your Way.

Kate and Nina are living proof of the power of midlife metamorphosis. And in this episode the pair discuss how self-discovery, self-acceptance and self-belief are vital on our journey to self-love – with practice making perfectly imperfect.

Nina shares her transformation story from growing up believing she wasn’t good enough, wearing it as a badge of honour as the blame game reared its head, through years of playing the victim to her eureka moment aged 46 when she started taking radical responsibility  for her journey and wellbeing.

This episode also includes Kate and Nina’s celebration of midlife cheerleading, and top tips and insights for how to start living and loving our Second Spring our way.

Midlife is a fabulous time to try something new. And this often means whisking things off that back burner and taking perfectly imperfect action.

For your host Kate Porter, one such thing is Tarot. She was intrigued from when she first saw Jane Seymour as Solitaire in James Bond’s Live and Let Die.

And she couldn’t resist buying an original pack of the Tarot of the Witches, which Jane uses in the film, when she spotted them on an auction site. Kate even signed up to a Teach Yourself Tarot course. But that’s as far as she’s got.

Until now. Because Kate’s taking that action and calling in the expert. 

So, if you’re Tarot curious too, join Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest Tarot Reader, Psychic Medium and Spiritual Teacher Nikki Leader for Episode 048 as they talk about How to Use Tarot as a Tool to Support Midlife Change.

Midlife Unlimited® is all about busting myths. And Nikki and Kate do just that – from the importance of clarifying that Nikki is not a fortune teller, to what Tarot actually is and the history of the card deck.

Nikki shares with Kate her midlife metamorphosis journey, explaining that discovering Tarot was “not in my gameplan”, and how tragedy led her to choose to follow this path like “the pieces of a jigsaw coming together”.

And Nikki explains how listeners can start exploring Tarot in Midlife as a means of self-awareness and personal growth.
