Episode # 59 - As women enter midlife, many of us begin asking deeper questions: “What’s next for me?”

The kids are grown, the relationships may have shifted, and the reflection in the mirror often feels unfamiliar. Menopause, changing bodies, and a loss of external validation can make this stage feel like an ending—but it’s not. It’s an invitation to begin again.

In this deeply affirming episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Lisa Petty, also known as The Midlife Alchemist—a speaker, coach, and author whose PhD research focused on the well-being of women in midlife.

Lisa is on a mission to help women release outdated roles and “shoulds,” and instead, step fully into their purpose, wisdom, and power. She believes midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a portal.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How to reclaim your identity after years of caregiving or people-pleasing

• The emotional and energetic shifts of menopause

• Why midlife women are uniquely positioned to lead and mentor younger generations

• The power of embracing your intuitive gifts and life vision

• How honoring your truth at this stage of life can ripple out to change the world

This episode is a powerful reminder that your midlife chapter can be your most radiant and impactful yet.
