What happens when midlife invites you to stop performing and start creating? In this episode of Transforming 45, host Lisa Boate sits down with visionary artist Karen Edgett for a soulful, expansive conversation about midlife transformation, menopause as liberation, conscious food, and co-creating with nature.

Karen shares her journey from living a “functional” life to fully embracing her identity as a visionary artist, exploring how art, intuition, and nature guide us back to truth—especially during menopause and midlife awakening.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, identity shifts, creative reawakening, or spiritual curiosity in midlife.
